SEWING BEES OF THE
EARLY MISSIONARIES

Editor Advertiser: The lamentations
of my. honored brother, DR.. Bingham,
about the history of the Cooke prem
Uses, make me emulous to say word
about the dramatic exhibition of the
Woman's Board, conducted by Mrs.
Frear and Mr. Wilder.
The scene of the missionary ladies'
gathering was supposed to be in 1889.
The mission work at that date was
far advanced. having been operating
for nineteen years. 1 was then a lad
of twelve years, and vividly remember
those days. During the General
Meetings" we met regularly in the old
kawaiahao schoolhouse, still standing
behind the stone church, and some
thirty ladies brought their sewing, and
chatted under breath, while their hus-
bands did the audible talking. in which
l myself was generally much inter-
ested.
1 do not suppose that any mission
ary's wife had helped to make a gar
ment for chief later than 1925. When
the pioneers arrived in 1920 they were
at once kept busy in that way, but
soon taught the chiefs women to do
such work. My mothers Journal of the
autumn of 1923 at Waimea. Kauai. tells
of her teaching the queen, Deborah Ia
pule, and her women, how to make
up a quantity of valuable materials
obtained from whaleships and traders.
In July, 1889. with my parents. we
visited Deborah Tapule at Waialua,
Kauai, when she made us some val
liable presents of choice tapas and fine
Niihau mats.
The exhibited costumes purportfng to
be of 1889, generally belonged to a
much earlier date. The short waists
of the twenties had heightened. The
leg-of-mutton' sleeves had come in.
think the calash bonnet was still in
use. Women's fashions here fingered
three or four years behind those of the
other side of Cape Horn. I doubt if in
1889 any chiefish lady would have been
seen barefooted when visiting white
people. any more than they would
have gone up straight from the sea bath
to dress themselves in white lady's
parlor, as a bevy Of chief women did
at my mothers in 1924 a. KaiIua
Those chiefs We're fine, noble. stately
persons. I was intimately acquainted
with that splendid lady. KapioIani. Of
volcano fame. She was gentle and
lovely. as well as commanding. We
also had an aged neighbor, Kekupuohe,
who was young wife of King Kala-
nSopuu CTerreobool, and who was be-
hind her royal husband when Captain

FANTAN PLAYERS
WILL FIGHT
Manager Ross Brings in His
Chinese and Hires a
Lawyer.

Manager Ross Of the Honolulu PLAN
tation is interesting himself in the
gambling case against twenty-seven OF
the Chinese employed by the company
at it's Puuloa camp, the Chinks
being caught in a raid led by
Chief Taylor on Wednesday night. The
principle to be contended for by the
plantation management is that the
bounds when they swoop down upon
plantation hands and make wholesale
arrests for gambling. Mr.. Ross was
In attendance at the police court yes
terday regarding the matter.
Contrary to the expectations of the
police. the whole twenty-seven fam
tan players appeared in court yester-
day, although their names did not ap-
pear upon the calendar for the day,
their arrests being only booked yes
terday morning This was due to the
rather unusual circumstance surround
ing their bail money. which was not
put up in actual cash until yesterday
morning, Lee Sing, the wealthy Aiea
storekeeper, giving a demand note the
night before in default of the neces>
sarv amount OF coin. This demand
note was turned over to a policeman
at Aiea, with instructions to present
it early yesterday morning and bring
the money. $135, into Honolulu. The
bail had been fixed at only IS head,
one-half the usual sum, and as the
case seemed to be clear it was thought
that none of those on bail would make
an appearance. Manager Ross, how
ever. seems to have made other ar
engagements.
fight on the case will be made
and w. r. Rawlins has been retained
for the defense. 1t is likely that one
Of the points to be raised will be the
right of the police to arrest those
found in the hunks during raid. 1t
is a common trick of the Chinese TO
dive straight from the gambling ta-
BILE for the bunk, burrow beneath the
blankets and feign profound slumber.
Several tried this at Puuloa, one Chink
i'm particular, after all the hurlyburly
of the ponce entrance, pe1llS o1HN"F
cred sleeping the sleep Of the just
within five feet of the heart OF the
excitement. He was smothered under
blankets, although fully dressed ana
while he resisted attempts TO AWAKEN
him by shaking, could not refrain from
grinning broadly in his dreams An
other quiet slumberer's heart was beat
ing a lively tattoo, although he was
sunk in the deepest sleep.
1t is possible, too, that the defense
in this trial will make as much as
possible out of the claims of the camp
boss that his room was entered during
the raid and a box of opium stolen
from his trunk. Altogether this hrst
raid on the plantation gambling games
promises to lead to a considerable
amount of litigation.

k|LOHANA APPEAL
FOR 4 TOWN HALL

Editor Advertiser: During the last
few months gifts of the most liberal
proportions have been bestowed upon
many institutions of our city, and Ho-
nolulu is to be congratulated upon
numbering so many people of vast
wealth who, rather than indulge them
selves in extravagances. give to the
educational and charitable needs of
their native town.
But because SO much has been and
is being done in this department, is it
a sign that libraries, school buildings
and so forth are the only means of
aiding the community in the develop
ment and Improvement of the relig-
ious, political and social life?
We are a community of schools and
churches, and visitors congratulate our
citizens on these most commendable
facts. However. one deplorable fea-
ture of our progress still remains I'M
changed. Whether our youths are
taught here or whether they receive
their educations abroad, there is q
great falling off after school is left OF
interest in talents which years of hard
study have brought to perfection.
The Art League in it's present ham-
pered endeavor and its large and full
err development of its future scope, is
an association whose aim it is to give
a place and an appreciation for and
of those talented ones, be they rich or
poor, who are not always sought out
and given their proper place in affairs.
1t is only worth and talent that may
exhibit on its stage the qualities being
taught and trained in our institutions
of learning-a channel in which to
carry out that most important part of
all education, namely, that part of his
or her education which the individual
manifests after leaving school" 1t
is to round out this phase of the city
Improvement that the circle devoted
to this branch asks the government
and the Mckinley Memorial Commit
tee to join hands for the common good
of the people, and establish pavilion
or town hall for Honolulu.
Thanking you for your Kindness in
providing space for the above commu-
nication, | remain, yours respectfully,

ODD COMPLIMENTARY GIFTS.

From a long list of odd gifts that
have been presented to distinguished
people, given an Tt-Bits, the follow
ing are selected.
In India the native rajahs consider
1t the highest possible compliment to
be presented with fine specimens of
wild beasts, and consequently both
King Edward and the Prince of
Wales have been the recipients of
many gifts of this description. But
when, one fine day, two splendid til
gers arrived Unexpectedly at Sand
bingham, King Edward was driven to
remonstrance. 'T have accommo-
dation." he said "for horses, cows,
cats. mice and even rats, but I must
draw the line at tigers
An odd gift was received by the
crown prince of Germany upon his
coming of age. A deputation of
butchers attended, bearing an enor-
nous and magnificent steak, upon
the surface of which was worked in
suet their greetings to the future
monarch.
The late Prince Bismarck once re-
ceived from some miners in Wes-
phalia a bust OF himself carved in
coal, and 1t is said that this odd
present was always carefully pre-
served by him and looked upon

somewhat In the light Of a luck
bringer.
A compliment which had serious
results was paid to an actor named
Hanson at mining town in British
Columbia. The audience was so stirred
by Mr.. Hanson's acting that some
persons began throwing presents up
on the stage, ike spectators at a
Spanish bull fight. One burly miner,
having nothing else handy, hurled a
lump Of gold ore. Unlucklly 1t hit
the actor on the head and knocked
him down. He was badly injured and
1t was weeks before he was able to
play again.
Perhaps the oldest idea of paying
a compliment belongs to a tribe Of
Indians on the Alaskan coast. When
chief wishes to do honor to a dis
tinguished visitor he invites him to
a "potlatch," or feast. Then when
all have eaten the chief goes to
the edge of the cliff and solemnly
casts into the sea as many of his
possessions as he thinks he can af-
ford. This is held to be the highest
form Of compliment and much su-
perior to merely giving presents to the
guests.

ENVIRONMENT AND INGERsoLL.

To many people environment seems
a hopeless thing, closely allied to
living death. For these, environ
.ment might not be inaptly symbolized
by skeleton which, with bony
fingers. forever pushes back and
down the man who would free him
self from his surroundings.
But look closely!
Back Of the ghastly, griinning face
you will see outlined the rosy, smil-
ing, youthful, alluring features of
Opportunity.
All environment is but the gateway
to Opportunity. Perhaps you have
heard the story of the man who
dreamed he died and went to hell.
When he arrived there he was agree
ably surprised to find what a pleas
ant place it was. Presently he met
few men who had been celebrities
during their earthly lives, and among
the party was Colonel Ingersoll. Our
friend expressed to the colonel his
great surprise at the beauty and gen.
orally desirable condition of his sur
roundings. WELL" replied Inger-
soil, "you ought to have seen this
place when We first came here!"-

Its tithe of seed, which we may count

Seems it no fairer thing can yet

A joy which is but Joy soon comes

A SANE SUNDAY.

OF Sunday and its observance Walt
Whitman says in the July American
Magazine:
"Sunday-Sunday. we make it the
duliest day in the week when 1t
might he made the cheeriest. Will
the people ever come to baseball,
plays, concerts, yacht races, on Sun
day? That would seem like a clear
day after a storm. Why do you sup
pose people are so narrow-minded in
their Interpretation of the Sunday?
If we read about Luther we find that
he was not gloomy, not sad-devout
not sickly religious: but a man full
of blood who didn't hesitate to out
rage ascetic customs or play games
if he felt like it on Sunday. The
Catholic regards Sunday with a more
nearly sane eye. 1t does seem as
though the Puritan was responsible
for our Sunday: the Puritan had his
virtues but for one owe him a grudge
or two which I don't hesitate to talk
abour loud enough to be heard"

HERD GETS AWAY IN CLAUDINE
LUKU-CROWD on WHARF.

A crowd Of Elks got away last night
in the Maui boat, Claudine; they yelled
and hollooed with sheer delight and
created a lively scene. A number Of
ladies adorned the wharf sweethearts
and wives and both who went to the
boat to see them off-but sudden there
came an oath, for three Elks grabbed
a nice young man whose struggles We're
all in vain, and hustled him onto the
caravan, not to return again.
The oath was mufhed, but not the
roar that rose from each Elken throat,
while feminine laughter tickled the
shore as the victim reached the boat.
The clocks marked six as they left the
town, an Elk on the whistle cord; the
ship backed out as the sun went down
with a rollicking bunch aboard.
