trouble in the kitchen. The thought
that she has had to send into town
hastily for refreshments because there
has been small strike In the pantry,
does not serve as an appetizer. The
woman who sits at the head of the ia
Bile, turning a polite but deaf ear to the
man on either hand and keeping an
anxious eve on her one maid, is not an
ideal hostess. She makes her guests
wish that she had taken less pains in
preparation and received them with
more genuine interest. While the pri-
NAL motive of dining is to secure food,
in the social code 1t has a higher status
the gathering of congenial spirits.
The hostess who feels It a pleasure
to entertain is a positive inspiration.
She who elects to entertain as a duty
had better pause. She is starting on a
thorny path which seldom leads to So
eial success. Much nonsense is written
about the social life being a trade, a
profession. Perhaps there are those
who climb for the sake of reaching the
apex, nothing more. But there are
few sensible persons left who want
to have pleasure en- route.
The wife who receives a few of her
husbands friends with some such re-
mark as Just in time for rubber of
whist and a rabbit" is cutting one of
the links in that chain which binds her
husband to his bachelor pleasures and
his club. And II she knows how to
concoct rabbit without making a
great how-de-do over it, IL she is deft
smiling and graceful, the men will pro-
nounce her as charming as II she had
invited them to a state dinner; and nine
chances out Of ten. If they be bachelors,
they will sigh and announce that Jones
is a lucky dog"
It pays to cultivate the chatting dish
habit, If one wants to entertain simply,
easily and often. There are SO many
jolly little dishes to be evolved from a
chatting dish that small book devoted
to the art Is worth buying and using.
Remember always that elaborate in
connection with a chatting dish is bad
form.

The Farm for Juveniles.

There should be no hesitation on
the part of the general assembly to
come to the aid of the farm for iuve-
nile delinquents which has been es-
tablished at ST. Charles, says the
Chicago journal.
This institution is one of the cher
ished ideas of Judge Tuthill. whose
long experience with delinquent and
degenerate boys has given him an
authority to speak on the subject of
the reclamation of this class that few
other men possess. He has been
Judge of the juvenile court since its
esta blishment. and his interest in the
administration Of the law has been
intensified by his finer sensibilities as
a humanitarian. He believes in the re-
clamation of even the most hardened
subjects, and will not consent that
heredity entirely controls the des-
tiny of the waits of the street.
Under Judge Tuthills inspiration
the Commercial club took a hand in
the movement more than a year ago
and pledged a certain sum for the
promotion of a school or farm or ref
rge for delinquent boys.
There were boys, as Judge Tuthill
pointed out, who were too bad to be
sent to Glenwood or Feehanville to
become companions of the little fell
lows sent there whom they might cor
rupt. and yet not hopeless of reform
by methods somewhat different from
those of the state reform school.

Trolley Freight Service.

In the rural district as well as in
the large cities of the United States
there is a steady increase in the use
of the trolley lines for transporting
express and mail matter. At large
centers of population special cars for
such service have long been familiar
sight. In the country the evolution
has not gone quite so far, although

BLAMES MOTORMAN
FOR ACCIDENT
REPRESENTATIVE AYLETT SAW
FATAL ACCIDENT WHEN KALA-
WAL WAS HIT BY CAR.

The police have secured a very ma
terial witness for the coroner's in
quest called today to determine the
cause of the death of Kalawai the old
native man who was struck by an
electric car yesterday morning near
the corner of Hotel and Richard street.
The witness is Representative William
Aylett. He saw the accident and
gives a very lucid statement of how
the affair occurred.
THE electric car" said Mr.. Aylett,
was running at quite a rapid rate of
speed along Hotel street, going in
Waikiki direction The old native man
started to cross the track from the
mauka side of the street. He walked
in a diagonal direction toward Richard
street. He was crossing the street
just a little Waikiki of the Waikiki
entrance to the Hotel grounds.
when the electric car was at the
Eva entrance of the Hotel, the motor
man began to call to the old man to
get out of the way. The motorman
hollered and rang the bell but made no
attempt then to stop the car. The car
was fully fifty feet away from the ma
calling and ringing the bell There
was enough time to have brought the
car to a stop before the old man was
struck.
The old native was deaf and did not
pay any attention to the noise as he
evidently did not hear it. l cannot
say whether the motorman tried to
stop the car at all but in my opinion
the accident could have been prevented
because there was enough time to have
stopped the car when the motorman
first saw the old native crossing the
track. The old man was struck on>the
side of the head. He was carrying a
couple of punches of flowers at the
time of the accident, as he made a
living selling flowers. 1t was a well
known fact that the old native was
deaf, as he was called "Kuli" instead
of by his right name"
The inquest will be held this after
noon. Representative Aylett was sub
poened to appear as a witness in the
case.
Motorman Dalton and Conductor
John NJ. Bright were the crew on the
car.

There was no law in force permit

according to their lights and they

Col. Fitch was delivering the closing
argument to the jury in the case of
Godfrey, trustee for Frank Metcalf,
against Helen Rowland, ct al an eject
ment suit which has involved a long
and difficult inquiry into the family
affairs of the late Theophilus Metcalf.
Family Bibles of many years ago, re-
cords of baptism and the memory of
old timers We're all drawn upon in the
case, leaving the jury with several
days of highly contradictory testimony
about the Metcalf family. The case
has been tried twice before and is full
evidence.
Col. Fitch proceeded to paint an elo-
quent and very sympathetic picture of
the Hawaiian race and of the changes
of habit that have gradually taken
place. He quoted some lines from
'Bobbie" Burns and argued against
applying the strict moral code of An
glo-SaXon communities to the Hawai-
ians of forty or fifty years ago.
Col. Fitch finished his argument by
noon and the jury was excused, to be
instructed this afternoon. McClana-
hans argument for the other side was
finished early this morning, having
been begun yesterday The case goes
to the jury this afternoon and many of
those interested are predicting a dis
agreement.
The main issue of the case is as to the
legitimacy of the boy Thomas Metcalf,
in whose behalf the proceedings were
brought. The property involved is
Honolulu real estate, said to be worth
from $4,000 to 100000.
