Notwithstanding the social tabu that
has been set against Major Strong and
Lady Hope, the enjoyment of their stay
in Honolulu did not seem to be affected
by it. They pleasured themselves in
their own peculiar and expensive way
them, or the wondering glances cast ,
They concluded not to stay at the MO
ana after the Advertiser found them
there, but at late hour returned TO
the Nippon Maru. 1t is said that Man
ager Card, becoming aware of the char
acter of his guests, followed the prece-
dent established by Manager Wren of
the California, in San Francisco.
When Lady Hope went in bathing
during the afternoon of her stay here,
she gave the stewardess in charge of
the ladies department small scare by
the large number of jewels she entrust7
ed to her possession. Doubtless there
were never before so many rare And
valuable gems placed in that lady
keeping as while the titled songstress
took her ablution in the Pacific. She
was extremely generous to the SER
wants who attended to her wants and
wishes, which were many, and when
she left the hotel they were several dol
lars richer for her visit.
During the forenoon of yesterday the
man and the woman rode about the
city, making themselves conspicuous by
the amount of jewelry they wore, and
the extremely odd, though fashionable
and tasteful, cut of their clothes. While
on the boat, watching the crowd that
had gathered to witness the departure
of the steamer, the contralto songstress
gave little exhibition of her temper,
and told her darling" as she caress-
ingly called him most of the time, he
was a fool" Her little tantrum lasted
only for a moment, however, and like
Hawaiian midsummer shower left ev-
erything lovelier and more beautiful
than before. Much of the conversation
between the two was carried on in
French, but when her ladyship called
the present object of her affections and
the liquidator of her bills fool" she
lapsed into vigorous Anglo-Saxon.
Several kodak fiends were on the pier,
and the two dropped into consciously
graceful poses for their benefit, Lady
Hope even allowed several of her gen
tlemen acquaintance here to have their
pictures taken standing beside her. Her
graciousness wassmuch appreciated. AS
the vessel pulled out and the swimming
boys set up their cry of Throw five
cents" the hand that wears seyera
! priceless heirlooms of the house OF
Hope was the most prodigal in answer
| ing their entreaty. She did not confine
herself to five-cent pieces, either.
Opinion here seems to be pretty well
divided concerning them. Many seen
to think the woman is designing adj
ventures, and that she has succeeded
in ensnaring a youth of 26 just for the
pleasure it gives her. Others hold thai
the Major is old enough to know better
The most prevalent opinion is that they
are both bad enough to make their go
ing desirable.
