The scarcity Of poi in the larder of
the All Sang commissary almost caus-
ed the complete severance Of the other
wise harmonious family ties in that
household. According to a recital Of
woes unfolded by Mrs. Cecilia Foo All

sites of a proper daily sustenance.
firing Of an existence in which it was
alleged that a shortage of provisions
predominated, Mrs. All Sang decided
upon leaving her liege lord. and pro-
ceeded to cast about for place where
the daily menu was characterized by
a greater variety of edibles.
On the other hand. All Sang claimed
that his spouse had no reason what

He declared that he had always en-

Judge Dickev could not see where
the complaint of Mrs. All Sang fur

desertion. Through an Interpreter he
informed the woman that she would be
granted the privilege of returning to
her husband and household. thereby
avoiding punishment Mrs. All Sang
took considerable time to ponder over
the matter. and finally decided that
after all there might be other blessings
in life besides unlimited supplies of
poi. Upon securing a partial promise,

coffee and rice would not be overwork-
ed in future. the reunited twain smil-
