WHY THE HARE PLAYS A
PART In EASTER SYMBOLS.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
To the learned men who go grubbing IN
kitchen midt.ens. and who can tell without
stopping 10 count Just how many sausages
# takes to reach the moon. it's as plain as
the MONDAY sun why the hare IS mere at
Easter with n wheelbarrow fun OF eggs.
But for you and me-. who couldn't build
up a dinosaur from n decayed tooth IN an
other million years. and who mix UP his
tory with historical novels. Il little time Il
required to disentangle the truth from tho
tradition.
There's no doubt that the Easter hare
has arrived. You have seen him in nearly
all the confsctioners' windows for some
time past. either trundiing n wheelbar-ow
fuI OF Eggs or proudly drawing a huge egg
set ~ IN wheels.
Now. be- sure not 10 pronounce that
''aics" AMI ''aiS.' as they do in the south.
for II you DO YOU will be falling into the
same unscicn;ific error the confectioners
have made in representing the sacred hare
as his humble American cousin. "Bre'r
Rabbit The rabbit IS all well enough IN
h!s way. and without him we wouidn' have
Uncle Remus" perhaps. and a lot of peo-
pie would have to take out accident In
su-ance instead of providing around grave-
yards IN the dark OF the moon.

has nothing 10 do with Easter. Cnfcrtu-

South. and out on the alkali plains. where

This distinction between the hare and the
understood rabbit Is really important. and
chiefly because the rabbit burrows in the
ground. while the hare makes forms OF
grass for his habita;icn. Are you 50 keen

Do you know how to wash your face?
OF course. you think you do, But are you
sure?
Probably you wash It too much IN the
wrong way. Perhaps YOU do not wash II at
ali IN the right way
Who knows but that. viewed from the
standpoint OF the beauty expert, you never
wash II.
Think of not washing your face. Think
Of having an epidermis which is never en-
tirely clean.
This is the actual position in which many
an estimable woman OF good society and
irreproachable standing find herself to-
day.
And this Is bad for her. To be lamented
both on her own account. and on account
of others. Specially detrimental. because II
is a fault that shows upon the surface. Not
washing properly or not washing at all
which is something of which the beauty
expert insists that the bad complexioned
woman is guilty-is a thing that shows
right on the outside, literally on the face.
Things You May Do in
the Wrong Way.
1t is not enough to go over the face with
water. hot ard cold: ard not nearly enough
to use soap and a wash-cloth. 1t is of no
use at all TO battle the face carefully IL
steaming suds and to wash il again in clear
water. All of these things only take time
and make trouble for you. The result IS
what might be expected. And these things
happen:
You have a delicate skin
You chap easily
The winds roughen your chin.
Your cheeks have a red and blowsy look.
Your nose Is too bright for beauty.
Your lips are cracked
Your eye-i:ds smart and the lashes are
thin.

RACE POSTPONED.

A number of the owners of the smaller
craft have claimed that the taking
aboard of life buoys was an old Wo-
manish preCautiOn but the regatta COM
mit6ee's firm determination to abide by
the regulation is endorsed by the latest
news from Sydney when during the An
niversary race a number of the eighteen
to twenty-five footers were capsized in
the hsuuauy weather. The Town and
Country Journal reprOduces series OF
pictures showing the submerged crews
hanging on to their boats in mid
harbor or being towed to safety by more
fortunate yachts.
The engravings will be exhibited in
the bort captains window down town.
The photographs show plainly the con-
ditidh of the sea and indicate strong
and STEADY breeze although not any
harder than one likely to be encounter
ed during the regular trades here.
While there were no casualties owing &c
the gteat number of yachts competing
the story points the danger of the small
Ter boats CapSizing. While running to
Pearl Harbor a swim ashore and a
quick rescue is comparatively easy. on
Diamond Head the situation would be
a much more serious one.
The Hawaii Yacht Club regatta com
mittee formally announced the post
ponement of the race on Saturday, yes
terday stating that the date would p'
set later without appointing definite
time.

Field Day Contest, Lieut.. Hancock F..
Successor.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Kamehameha Alumni Association win
be held this evening at the club house
on Fort street Base ball will be the
topic of discussion.
The transfer of Lieutenant Hancock
to the mainland has considerably de-
moralized polo matters, especially with
regard to the Mckinley Memorial game.
With the lieutenant on the team, the
reds and blues were about as equally
balanced as possible but it Will be hard
to fiji the vacancy without rearranging
all the players Lieutenant Hancock
has played a brilliant game, especially
of late. and while there are other play
ers in the association it is doubtful If
any ,of those yet unsolicited for the two
teams are his equal with the mallet.
All members of the Male llimas who
intend participating in the Field Day
team have been notified to meet at the
Robertson premises this afternoon at
five o'clock to commence training. No
team has yet been arranged for but tho
directors held a lengthy discussion last
Wednesday night over the subject and
decided that the club could not stay out
of the contest. G.. Cheek has offered his
services to the club as trainer for the
team. Males will be the last club to
commence training for the event, all the
other clubs, schools and associations
having been hard at work for a week or

AMUSING COMPLICATION OF Full
LERS' CREW.
Afraid to Take Money Because They
Think They May Jeapordize Another
Cleaim for Food Shortage

six members Of the crew of the Amer
lean ship A. j. Fuller which arrived last
week from Sydney and Newcastle, are
wandering about town doing the best
they can, while their wages are gather
ing dust at the office of the shipping
commissioner. The men pay occasional
visits to the shipping commissioner to
try and get draw a portion of the money
but Mr. Boyd has refused to make any
payments on installments. If they want
their wages they will have to draw the
entire amount in a lump declares Mr.
Boyd or else not bother him.
The reason the men do not draw their
money is because they declare they have
an additional claim against the vessel
| They have already libelled the ship to
secure $40 each in addition to their
wages. Captain Haskell has been wait
ing for them to institute such proceed
ings, and now he will probably make
/ charges against the crowd TOT refusing
/ duty at sea.
The men alIege that for 40 days they
were on short ratiOns. As compensation
/ for this damage and neglect of thell
| stOmachs, they want $40 i'm addition u
| their wages, figuring at the rate of 81
gents each, day.
| on the other hand Captain Haskell
declares that he does not intend to be
/ "cinched" by the men. Seven of then
have made this claim but they ask thai
compensation for the entire crew of A.
be made Captain Haskell has care
up his sleeve in the shape of charge
of refusing duty. He says that sever
of the crowd got angry after the Vesse
! left Newcastle because he had to shlI
some Italians. and for four days, they
refused duty. In case the men persis
in pressing the claim against him, h,
will cause their arrest and prosecution
on such a charge. One of the GROVE
recently relented here and drew hi
wages.
The men in refusing to draw dow
their wages, evidently think that If the
accept the wages paid over to the snip
ping commissioner by Captain Haske
they will forfeit their claim to the "
alleged to be due for the shortage
