streets Of Honolulu Just at pres

hilsE and snriners. TO say nothing Of
gazing with ali ones eyes az the gor.
geous uniforms Of the visiting officers,
life has become q glad and fearful
thing We hail the change with glee,
and make the most OF IL while we can.
for il must PASS away ike all good
things-except, perhaps. the automo.
biles. for they have come to stay.
saw Governor Dole in one the

be taken, more or less badly. of our
beautiful Honolulu. But what care we.
as long as the streets are gay? IL is
a bit trying, I acknowledge. TO have
kodak pointed at ones knickerbock-
ers-for that was my experience a
few days ago. and the fiend with the
instrument OF torture seemed TO be
delighted at my rage, for he grinned
profusely and said something about
abnormal calves. whatever that

are much used. but don't care much
for that kind OF set decoration. have
a friend who is soon TO give a little
dinner. and her arrangement is most

noticed several things at dinner
last week For one thing. fruit was
handed around on fat tray. and Pr

that term of eatables. II is bortch. a
Russian invention. This is red, dark
colored and rather thick. A silver
sauce boat OF cream is passed passed |
around with il. and the diners helped |
themselves 10 small portion. which |
they poured into the soup. For my |
part l shall remain loyal to the old |
consomme: at least IL does |
not take away your appetite long be- |
