The arrival of the Longworths did
not give society very great thrill, as
the smart set has by this time grown
accustomed to the feel of stroking
the Princess Alice's name. At this
writing it is impossible to say whether
anything festive will punctuate the
Longworth's stay here, for as yet no
one knows their plans. But if you'll
cross my palm with silver, FL prognos-
ticate that they will only tarry here
long enough to find their land legs
after the ocean journey, and will speed
right on to Washington without giving
the smart set a chance to entertain
them again.-News Letter.

Children's theatricals are always in
teresting to those who have sympathy
with children, and can enter into the
spirit of the young people. The oper-
eta, "The Rival Queen" presented on
Thursday evening at the Opera House,
was one of the most interesting things
of the kind which have been given in
Honolulu for a long time. It was Civ
en- by pupils from the Central Gram

it's preparation. The attendance was
very good, many elder people being
present besides hundreds of young
