SAN FRANCISCO, March 2o.-Let cpl
cures prepare to shed bitter tears. and
gourmets to make unceasing moan. for
great grief is 20 come TO the lovers OF
hot birds and cold bottles. The alimen-
tary adviser OF the jeunesse doree OF Ho-
nolulu. the sympathizer with all appe.ites
accompanied by cash. the brilliant light
of the first cuisine OF the Hawaiian capt.
tai the nephew of Very Touching Ca
marinos, Is to forsake the scenes which
have known him SO long.
Lycurgus. friend of Robert Louis Stew
enson. former master of the revels at
Sans Souei. and owner of the Union Grin,
will never again live in the Paradise of
the tropics edge. He has announced his
intention to dwell hereafter in Europe
where, with income modest compared
with that of a Hawaiian sugar king but
ample for a master chef. he will drink
deep OF the waters OF the Pierian spring
as bottled in Paris. Athens, Monte Carlo
and the bewitching Riviera. He will
neither toll nor spin nor run the cash
register.
II have 800 a month from my rents
in Hawaii" said Lycur gus to me day
ago ''and when j sell out the Grill j
will still have that much at least {"
live on"
Lycurgus came here on the Ventura.
one of a merry party from Hawaii and
the Colonies. 1t is recorded in the log
book of the steward and the figures of
the refreshment department that there
never was a gayer set of passengers
than those who made the nights busy on
the Oceanic liner. With the shackles of
business off, the restaurateur sped the
voyaging hours with wassail and song.
al. hox IT,
a vender of food and drink, would have
been amazed at the bonhomrie developed,
by the happy Greek away from his daily
post.
was in my office a few days ago when
Lycurgus called. A rapid-fiye tailor had
CARRIED him in the latest mode and he
might have been mistaken for foreign
noble. Gone were the baggy trousers I
was wont to see whens George lolled
against the Grill window; gone the mar
vellous sash of ebon hue, the gay shirt
waist and flowing tie. Instead, with dap
per suit of finest cloth. silken hat and
shining shoes, i saw the citizen of the
world. the gay lounger of the boulevards.
and the fun-seeking compatriot of Papa
dimous and Prince George.
IT can't get warm" said Lycurgus,
try. as 1 may. 1 wrap up well and
drink the best, but my blood has got
ten thin in Hawaii
You will be all right after a few
weeks said I. "And when you return
to Honolulu after your year of wander
ing and holiday, you win be ready for
another long spell in the Islands -
Lycurgus shook his head.
II hardly think / shall ever 1--we in
Hawaii again." he said emphatically. Il
have been there nine years excepting for
the time i spent on my trip to Greece
three years ago. / have had ups and
downs. I'm up now and0I propose to
enjoy myself. L have known what II Is
to sleep in Jail in Honolulu. I'm pros
porous now and shall live life of ease"
But you have the Grill to look after"
I've left that in good hands. / shall
go back to Honolulu in year and prob
ably sell out. i bought nice property
in Hilo for sl5 00o-the place occupied by
Demosthenes. This pays me good rent.
Altogether i will have about $500 a
month Put this into francs and have
1000 francs a month. Why some princes
OF the blood don't have that much"
What will Honolulu do without you
to serve their stomachs?" 1 asked.
What will all the gay boys OF the town
do without you to keep UP their spirits?''
George looked pleased.
They'll get along without me- SAID
he. "other places will start
What will Camarinos do without yoa
to admonish him?"
Hes past correction" said Lycurgus
do you know Camarinos
should be worth hundred thousand dol
lars at least. He is too liberal. He lives
only to have good time. Right to-
day he is making $1,000 month clear
and he don't save much. He won't walk
a yard and he is hail fellow with al
the bloods of Honolulu. It's very tuucn-
ing"
Lycurgus left here yesterday over the
Santa Fe line for New York He teIeL
graphed to New York and had a state-
room reserved on the Oceanic, the mon
ster floating palace which has been made
famous in print. 1t cost Lycurgus a
pretty penny-about 500 for this fancy
but he said he didn't care for the money.
He will be in London during the corona
ton and later visit his old home in the
and of the Parthenon.
Lycurgus denies the report circulated
by Camarinos, that he is to seek wife
IN Greece. He says that matrimony has
no place in his system of economy. Tine
fact is that he met on the Ventura a
fair Australian who has smote his heart
hard, and who is going East about the
same time George is.
