Frederick Wade and the Players His Company Unite In Expressing
Their Appreciation of the Many Beauties of Honolulu
and the Hospitality Extended to Them.

4 were extended the courtesies OF the
single member OF the company who
did not express the hope that the first
visit to the mid Pacific would not be
the last. Perhaps there are those who
feel ties ON the mainland stronger than
others. but the ones who expressed the
greatest desire TO return were the lead
ing ladies. the unattached ones at
least.

which he carries away with him. He
continued: Il have said TO the people

Mrs. warde has been most happily
situated while in the city. as she had
friends here and made so many new
ones that she was engaged in sightsee-

who wear street-sweeping robes may
be arrested for menacing health.
Perhaps Meigs' resolve to do or die
in the defense OF health against the
ladies may be due to recent visit
to the Father1and. There was in Ger
many last year an extraordinary war
upon long skirts, with many arrests.
Some enthusiasts Knocked and insult
ed women who wore long skirts, thus
bling them to feel that they were
martyrs in cause not wholly bad.
It's easy to send 1ong-skirted
woman out upon the streets and find
upon her dirty hem, when she comes
in, the bacilli of consumption, typhoid
and influenza. These germs come in
through the windows in any case.
Extraordinary interest is taken in the
matter by women here They agree
that the long skirt is a handicap,
wearing out the strength and making
walk "a burden; they agree that
Meigs will wish his name was Sam
son before he gets through reforming
the ladies.
Doctors and health authorities up
hold Meigs. They say that few ar
rests would do more for dress reform
than anything else that could be
imagined. The recent crusade against
splitting in streets and public convey
ances was almost magical in it's good
effect upon the appearance of the
city.
But women were not the offenders
in that case. That makes a differ
ence. Everybody I know is betting
that Meigs will be beaten.

they are covered by steamship docks
and factories.
Grand street led to the Hoboken
and Jersey City ferries on the west
and to the upper Brooklyn ferries. on
the east, crossing the city at it's
widest point. When I came to the
city Edward Ridley was at the height
of his success as Grand street >mer-
chant-a kindly old man with pleas
ant smile and whiskers like a stage
deacon. He had begun business in a
shop % feet by about 40, his wife and
little boys helping him; had bought
bit after bit of land until his shop
employed hands by the thousand and
did a business of 100000 year.
In those days single lot on Grand
street cost S125,OO Ridley leased one
lot at rental of 900 a year. When
business declined he sublet it for ST.
500; the lessee sublet it again for
$4,000, and it is now occupied at
lower rental still. Ridley's itself has
just closed its doors after career at
one time second only to A. T. Stew
arts in the retail line.
Grand street has become the ave-
nue. of the Ghetto. 1t is a street of
little shops kept by Hebrews from
the far east of Europe. Outside the
windows where the most costly goods
were once displayed men from Buko
wilma and Lithuania ply with push
carts. In a single block IL stores are
vacant, though the city as whole is
prosperous. The blight extends to
lower Broadway, Brooklyn, opposite
Grand street by ferry.
In my own day I have seen Grand
street change from place frequent
ed by carriage shoppers. to one
haunted by swart little men with
long caftans and queer corkscrew
curls hanging down in front of their
ears; by women of amazing fairness,
of whom all who are married wear

tire product, and consequently new

uous operation and steady employ
ment of their operatives.
And, technically, what is recipr ocity?
1t is the granting by two countries of
equal privileges of commercial inter
course in certain specified particulars
to the people of the countries con-
:erned.
The first treaty of the kind was made
with Canada, in 1855, continuing in
force until 1866. Since the date of the
signing of this first reciprocity treaty,
trade agreements have existed with the
Hawaiian islands, Brazil, San Domingo,
British West Indies, Salvador, Mic
aragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Cuba
and Porto Rico, Germany, Austria
Hungary, Switzerland, France, Portu-
gal and Italy. The treaties with the
last three named countries and sec
ond agreement with Germany are still
in force. Treaties with the following
countries. signed in 1899, are still pend
ing having yet to be ratified by con-
gress: British West Indies, Argentina,
France, Dominican Republic, Mica
ragua and Ecuador. The following
table shows the full list of reciprocity
agreements and treaties which the
United States has made and put into
operation since 1850:

thatare more shapely, and, to my mind,
much prettier. Of these the various
toques take first place. There are
small toques and broad brimmed
toques without number. Another of
the pretty shapes is a small, three-cor-
nered turban that is becoming, to
many. There is also the picture hat,
which is having an unusual popularity
this season.
Fur is the trimming in vogue. The
fayorite varieties. are Persian lamb,
mink, ernine and sable. These will be
combined with heavy lace, cloth or vel
vet. For the broad brimmed and pic
ture hats the ostrich feathers still
have a prominent place. For the
toques and other forms of small hats
quilts, breasts and wings are pre-
ferred. Flowers are also favored as a

trimming on many of the winter
shapes. The favorites are velvet or
satin roses. Other features of the sea-
sonable trimmings are extremely large
ornaments in cut steel, gilt or silver
metal and jeweled ornaments.
.Of the noticeable model hats now on
exhibition, one that is especially at
tractive is three-cornered shape
turban of er1nine fur. The fur is sc
effective in itself that it needs but
little trimming, and this is supplied
by pretty little sea swallow placed
directly in front.
One of the serviceable broad
brimmed shapes is in small camel's
hair felt. The wide, rolling brim is
bound with black velvet, and Oh the
low crown are bows of black satin
ribbon and black and white wings,

with a paste buckle set in dull silver
and brilliants at the back.
A more dressy hat than this is one
with square crown of white glace
silk covered with transparent inser-
lions of ecru guipure lace. A tulle
in ecru is softly draped around the
crown. The turned-up brim is lined
with black velvet and draped at the
edged with ecru lace. A white os-
.trich tip hangs over the hair atthe left
side, and black one is fastened to the
crown with beautiful gold buckle.
One of the strikingly original and
picturesque hats is of black velvet,
the wide brim of which is caught up
in two places and fastened to the
crown with handsome circular cut
steel ornaments. There is a long,
black ostrich feather dropping over
the lsft side

One of the new toque models is of

narrow black velvet ribbon at regu-

around the gracefully curved brim,
and a black ostrich tip, held by a
paste buckle, curls over on the left
side. The edge of the brim is wide

Another of the new toque models
is made with q folded brim. The
crown is of black net run all over

of plain mirror velvet, with a knot OF

like the Rhinelanders, Roosevelts,
Crugers, Van Rensselaers, held to their
downtown lands and grew wealthy
more slowly. Much of the Cruger
wealth has been dissipated by spend

given generously to charities like the

no branch of the family is now very
