Justice Judd might have been present.
He said that the Judicial Department
Of Hawaii had always preserved its
name untarnished. The other Depart
ments, Legislative and Executive, had
sometimes gone astray from the path
of rectitude, but the Judiciary never.
Our bench was organized out of the
ancient system. Seyenty-five years
ago the Kings and Chiefs introduced
the foreign trial by jury. In 1910 the
Judiciary was made up of native Ha
Walians and it acquitted itself SO well
that the independence of the Islands
was recognized. Justice Frear spoke
OF the great services of former judges
and congratulated the county that un-
der the coming regime the Hawaiian
courts would be modelled upon those

BEAUTY OF FIGURE.

A beautiful figure is often more ad-
mired than a beautiful face, 1t is not
always easy TO decide on just the exact
proportions for perfectly formed body,
but think for a moment about the fol-
lowing is correct: Height. not over
feet inches, with bust measure 80
inches and waist measure p. Those
who are in that proportion are, accord
ing to accepted standards, of artistic
grace. Also, twice the measurement
around the thumb should equal once
the measurement around the wrist;
twice the measurement around the wrist
should equal once the measurement
around the neck; twice around the neck
should equal once the measurement
around the waist; twice the measure
ment around the waist should equal
once the measurement around the bust
This is another way OF ascertaining the
ideal measurement.
The most graceful figures will be
found to be those that have never
worn corsets, for i'll made corsets and
tight laeing take from the suppleness
and flexibility of the body. The pres
emit style of dress, however, demands
a corset, and the only remedy Is to
select stays judiciously and wear
them sensibly During the period rep
resented by the Venus de Milo the
costume was such that there were grace
and beauty OF dress without the use
Of a corset, but modern fashions are
very different from the graceful, loose,
flowing draperies of the Greeks. The
best corset for the figure Is made OF the
finest cortille and the lightest, Most
flexible whalebone. The bust should
be cut low and the hips short
Tight shoes disfigure the feet quite
as much as tight lacing does the body.
A good deal OF the deformity OF the
modern woman's foot is due TO mar
row, pointed shoes. Not only are such
shoes bad for the feet, but they indi-
rectly do a good deal Of harm to the
nervous system, because the seanty
room which pointed shoes AFFORD to the
toes cause the shoe to press on some Of
the most delicate nerves of the feet and
'disastrously impede the circulation.
Many a troublesome nervous headache
may be traced to this cause.

combinations. 1E:s Is indeed the most
dif1icult part OF secondhand play. for
certain class CT short-suit players
are inclined to pick out their very
worst short suit and to lead the top
OF it. on the principle that no short suit
is too bad to open. The idea Of this Is
that it at once warns the partner OF the
weakest spot in their armor besides.
they would rather lead such suit than
have it come up to them third in hand.
According to this. seven or eight may
be forced" lead. and it is readily per-
ceived that the difficulty OF distinguish
ing between the regular and irregular
openings is not always an easy task.
The manner of treating conventional
and unconvent--aal- leads from a Sec
ond-hand standpoint is so different that
they can only be treated separately. II
you are certain the opening be a regu-
lar one. the eleven rule will be Of the
greatest service in guiding your play.
When you have great strength in any
suit opened regularly, care should be
taken not to play a card higher than
necessary to hold the trick. and you
should always be on the lookout when
holding one of the cards out against
the leader, and lower than the jack to
cover a seven, eight, or nine, led, as
you may thereby save your partners
ace or king, one of which must be out
against the leader. the chances being
equally divided as to whether that card
be held by third or by fourth hand.
This play should be avoided, however,
unless the card led be as high as a
seven, when the partner should not
mistake it for a trump call. but rec
ognize it as merely cover card.

Mr.. Rockefeller's own son, John d.

While it is contrary to the great

into consideration that. while to-day it
is the practice to lead low, holding ace

been chiefly used against the play is
that it subjects the player to deep and

WHIST.
An Essay on Second Hand pIay-Fol-
lowers Of Long Suit or American Leads
Recognize Its Importance Lovers Of
the Royal Game. Whatever Their
System Of Leads. Should Read II.

The play OF second hand is by far
the most difficult Of any at the whist
table, the skillful management OF the
game depending greatly upon the way
in which secondhand situations are
met. Only in comparatively recent
years has secondhand play been ac-
corded the degree Of consideration that
it merits. the earlier writer's having
dismissed the subject with the injunc-
ton to play low second in hand, ex-
cept when holding two or more honors
in sequence, in which case the rule was
to play the lowest card of the two in
sequence. 1t was with the advent and
general adoption of the system known
as American leads that a material
change was effected in secondhand
play. Although the injunction to play
your lowest card second hand is as a
general rule the proper thing, many i'm
portant exceptions must be noted, and
the scope of this writing is to be limited
to mentioning some of the most import
ant of the exceptions to the general
rule.
The first thing to decide when your
right-hand opponent opens suit is
whether the lead is a regular one;
whether, if nine or a lower, it is
fourth best card; whether, if an honor
be led, it is from one of the high-card

second in hand from king-queen ana
queen-jack sequences. For instance,
suppose your king holds the first trick
second in hand: how is the original
leader to know that your other card is
not the lone queen or jack, unless he
holds these cards himself? Or how
could any one be positive that the king
has not been played from king. queen,
and two or more small. and such being
the case. what chance would the ace
have to make unless 1t were played on
the second trick? From such reasoning
it certainly would seem that the play
is sound in principle, while its utility
in practice has been clearly demonstrate
ed by some of the leading whist lights
OF the community. Another pla- which
has been under great discussion is that
of the queen Tin trumps. but not in
plain suits) from queen and one small
card on low card led. IN spite of the
opposition to this play the play of the
queen is one that can be wisely advo-
Gated. In trumps small card is fire.
Quently led when beth ace and king are
in the leaders hand, and when this Is
the case the only chance to make the
queen is to put it up at once. 1t is,
indeed, no uncommon occurrence to
have the queen shut out even when
twice guarded; the jack holding the
trick in hand, while the ace and king,
being with the original leader, complete
the operation. Should the king be
turned on your right, the play Of the
queen twice guarded, second hand. is
rarely a mistake. and win generally
prove a trick winner,-New York ev-
