The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1907-04-20

"a
goes a-begging for awhile.
All this is particularly true as re-
CARDS the Honolulu Library, and the
position of librarian. when the trus-
tees secured Miss Gertrude Baker a
short time ago, after having lost Miss
Hillebrand through Cupid's wiles, they
thought they had her by a hard and
fast contract for year at least, al
was engaged on the long time plan to
a Mr.. Phillips an Ohio man. Imagine
their dsmay at receiving last week a
resignation. What could they do but
smile as best they might and extend
congratulations, and begin casting
around for the next victim, whom they
will probably fasten with lock and
chain. Miss Baker had not meant to
break her word, but a year is an aw-
fully long time-when you're engaged
and when Mr.. Phillips discovered that
urgent business would take him to
Japan, via Honolulu, what is more
natural than that he should insist on
her joining him at this point-and her
acquiescing? The cause of the trus-
tees trouble is expected here on the
Siberia on May 18th.

Apropos to the above is the story
that is being told about town-and no
it-of very well known matron whose
troubles have been never ending in her
efforts to secure a maid whom the lit
tie blind goblet could not influence.
After losing several model girls almost
as fast as she imported them, she sent
to an employment office, instructions
specifying the most unprepossessing
person eligible for the place, who
could be found. The new maid came,
and to all appearances she filled the
bill At any rate no one who saw her
could in veracity refer to her in any
higher terms than plain" and that
means a whole lot The harassed mis-
tress breathed a sigh of relief when
she saw her, and declared her troubles
were over. But alas! for the plans Of
women, like those Of mice and men,
gang aft aglee," and three months af-
ter the plain" maid landed in Homo
lulu, she had changed her name and
station Her predecessors had, on an
average, remained single for six
months, She broke the speed record.
