MRS. WALTER WELDON
TALKS IN CLEVELAND
The Cleveland Ohio News saws:

The Cleveland Ohio News SAYS:
The guest of the Ladies Associa-
ton of the Euclid Avenue Christian
church on Thursday, was Mrs. Walter
c. Weldon, charter member and one
| of its organizers. In honor of Mrs.
| Weldon, who comes from Honolulu,
memory meeting was planned by
the ladies association, which num-
bers some 600 members, and an at
| tempt was begun weeks ago to get
a letter or answer of some kind from
every one of the 80 charter members.
The result was collection of CHARM
ing letters.
Letters were read from Mrs. Sarah
NJ. StiIlman and Mrs Cornelia Lusk,
both of Lusk, Wyo., Mrs. d. r. Whit
comb of Washington, d. c., Mrs. c.
B. Smith of Jacksonville, Fla, and
Mrs. M. B. Hall of Richmond, Va.
Other charter members who gave
"reminiscences of early days were
Mrs. Sarah Streetor, Mrs. Jackson
Gray, Mrs. c. B. Lockwood, Mrs.
Martha j. Remick, Mrs. Julia Ger
ould, Mrs. Ruth Willard and Mrs.
Edmund Z. Adams.
Mrs. Weldon s talk was one of the
chief features of the program. She
went back to her first work in aiding
her mother, Mrs. Jane f. Sloan, in
the formation of the National Chris
tian Women s Board of Missions,
which was organized by them in Gin
cinnati, and of which the Cleveland
branch was the first auxiliary, in 1875,
with Mrs. Weldon as the state secre-
tary. The present president, Mrs
George Wyman, presided at the meet
ing, and the charter roll was called
by the secretary, Mrs. c. B. Lock
wood. A luncheon and social filed
the remainder of the day
Mrs. Weldon came to this city
from Mt. Vernon, o., her maiden
name being Ida J. Sloan. She was a
resident of this city for 20 years or
more, and an active member of the
Ohio Women S Press club.

K|LOHANA ART EXHIBITION
WILL CLOSE TONIGHT

| The exhibition of paintings and deco
rated china at the rooms of the Kilo-
hama Art League will end this evening.
It has been the most successful of any
given since the organization of the
| league as far as attendance goes, and
the character of the work seems to
set a higher standard for the artists
! of Honolulu.
OF course Mr.. Hitchcock remains as
premier and his pictures show an adj
vance over his previous work. This is
particularly true in its application to
the scope of his efforts. No one has
ever seen a canyon picture by Mr..
Hitchcock for the reason that until his
visit to Kauai last summer he never
attempted the subject. In his wal
mea Canyon, Kauai No. 10 on the
catalogue, he has demonstrated his
power to paint the atmosphere of the
depths and that of the higher eleva-
ton on the same canvas. His color
ing shows his masterful knowledge of
the Hawaiian landscape. There has
never Deen an artist neres not even 6X-
cepting Tavenier, with greater ability
than Hitchcock.
What is true of his canyons is true
of his pictures of beaches and the lit
tie cOulees around this island and else
where in the Territory. Improvement
in handling light and shade is evident
everywhere in the work and this fact
seems to have been appreciated, as
evidenced by the number of canvases
marked sold. In this connection it is
said most of his pictures have gone to
Kauai purchasers.
Paintings by Mrs. Marshal Mr.. Wix,
Mrs. Won Holt. Mrs. DacOto, Miss Rob
ertson and Mr.. Gurrey are worthy of
more extended notice. That of Mr..
Gurrey is especially good. China paint
ing by Mrs. More, Miss McStocker,
Miss Low, Miss Parke and Mrs. Gra-
ham is pleasing to the average lady
and is well executed. Mr.. Rosenstein
presents three plaster casts which re-
fleet credit. The exhibition has been
beneficial in many ways not the least
of which is in bringing to light the
talent which some Honolulu people
have.

HIGH PRICES IN
COST Of LIVING
Cheaper to Live in Honolulu
Than in Suburbs of San
Francisco.

Among the recent arrivals from San
Francisco is Harry j. Johnston, the
local customs broker, whose family has
moved to the Coast to live. In speak
ing of the conditions there yesterday
he commented strongly on the change
which has taken place as regards the
cost of living here and on the Coast.
In the old days it cost much more to
live here but at present Mr.. Johnston.
says the case is reversed. In speak
ing of the matter he said:
Il was greatly surprised to find out
how much it cost to live in California,
as compared with Honolulu. From
what have seen l believe that a work
ing man is much better off in this
city than in San Francisco. 1 used to
say, more than once, that man earn
ing SIS a month there was far better
off than a man earning $3.50 down here
but I have got to take that back now.
There are a few things, of course.
that are cheaper on the Coast than
they are here, but not many.
Take the coal proposition, for in
stance. Coal in California costs $50
a ton, and that rs not the worst of it.
This is the cold season and one has
to keep a fire burning all night or
nearly freeze. Here one only needs
fuel to cook with. Another thing is
in clothing. This is very high and in
stead. if one has a family of children,
of only needing a few light clothes,
there, heavy clothes and lots of them
effect in bringing back the Portuguese
who went up there. Here, they can let
their children run around with bare
feet and heads, but up there they must
have stockings and shoes as well as
hats, and while the wages are higher,
it eats up all that they make.
Rents up there are very steep. A
house that could be rented here for
$50 would cost $50 or more in the sub
urbs of san Francisco. This counts up
quickly. Servants are another PROPOSE
ton. You have to pay from $50 a
month up for cook who is only half
way good and when it comes to girls
for homework they are practically inn
possible to get.
II have been down here now for
about six years and the change in the
expenses of living here and of living
on the Coast has been something re-
markable. L believe that a man can
live much cheaper here han he can
on the Coast, the way things are going
now. OF course wages are high there
but they are beginning to topple and
there is not as much work as there
might be. The climate here is in
hnitely better"

MAKING a BARGAIN.

A great tenor had been singing for
some hours into a phonograph.
1.-The phOnograph," he said, 'is a
wonderful thing. 1t almost realizes
the wish of the Scottish poet, the wish
that we might see ourselves as others
see us. We can now, at least, hear
ourselves. When 1 was in the army,

salesman brought a phonOgraph to my

was undecided. Finally the man took
out a blank cylinder.
"'See,' he said, rather reluctantly,

make a record on it, then we will run
It off and you shall hear yourself. It's

'Well, played my best into the ma

When she heard the hall door close
behind him she sat down on the couch
and stared absently at the torn fan
lying on the chair near. She picked it
up and tore it slowly and systematic
ally into strips.
Il am glad-he-cares," she said me-
chanically.
In the two years that passed she
saw Graham occasionally on the street
and nodded to him in passing. Their
few mutual friends seldom mentioned
him, and she heard only enough to
know that he was rapidly succeeding
in his profession.
When the servant brought her his
card one afternoon she waited until
the girl had left the room, then read
it over and over. Suddenly she threw
it OF her dressing table, drew a long
breath and went downstairs compOs-
edly.
You are quite a novelty" she said
when he rose to meet her.

bluntly, without any prelude.
"Er-what WALTZ" She raised her
eyebrows, with a slightly puzzled

her.
She hesitated a minute.

He sat down ON the couch and drew
her beside him. Before my father
died three years ago he told me that
he had been specializing and that he
had, along with his own, lost $4,000
that he held in trust for my little cous-

the amount good before her twenty

A story is told of a man who, cross

when day dawned that his feet were
