The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1907-03-02
BACK YONDER.


When the time of toll is ended and the
stars begin to show
And the freight fades and fickers and
the shadows come and go;
When the present day is fading
through the portals of the past
To join the other days that made the
journey all too fast.
You can't help going with it far enough
to say goodbye"
And maybe it will take your hand and
lead you; and you try
! To laugh and hope, just as you did
when everything was new
And you were living in the land of
things you meant to do.
It takes you to the rainbow which
showed treasures hiding place;
1t shows youths starting point, where
all were equal in the race.
The winters 1erceness there was all
forgotten in a day,
For nothing was so real as the bios
soming of May
The stars that shine afar then seemed
so radiantly near.
That one might pluck them from the
sky should we but persevere.
Lies fairest, truest joys are those too
fair to e'er be true.
They dwell back yonder in the land of
things we meant to do.

Prof Strobel general adviser on in
ternational law to the Siamese govern
ment, has Travelled much. and at a, re-
cent dinner in Cambridge he told
story Of his travels.
"The speaker" he said, referring to
famous La Guerliche of Flanders. La
Guerliche was never at loss.
"Once the King of Flanders was
passing through La Guerliches coun-
try and he admired the fine farm of
Carefree the bailiff.
Whose farm is that?' said the king
"Carefree the bailin's, sire" was the
answer.
"'Carefree, ell said the king. We'll, |
if he is Carefree, he is happier than I |
am. Let word be sent that / shall give |
him audience tomorrow and 1 shall |
then ask this merry fellow three ques-
how much the moon |
weighs; second, how much his king is |
worth, and, third, what 1 am thinking? |
If he answers one of these questions |
wrong he will be hanged
Now when Carefree heard of his APP
royal audience he was in de- |
spair. But La Guerliche said to him:
eve are both in love with Ninette. |
Surrender your claim to her and I
will go to the king tomorrow in your |
place.
"Carefree shook his friend warmly
by the hand.
"'I surrender Ninette gladly he |
said. What is a girl alongside of ones
life Heaven bless you, La Guerliche.'
"Next day La Guerliche appeared be-
fore the king.
"'Well, you, said the monarch,
fercely, how much does the moon
weigh?'
"'Just a hundredweight, your ma
jesty,' was the answer.
How do you make that out?'
Does it not consist of four quar-
ters?
Right, said the king. Now tel
me what you put my value at?'
Twenty-nine pieces of silver, sir
What do you mean, scoundrel%
"'Ah, SIRE, said La GuerlDche pious-
ly, you have forgotten that our Mas
ter was sold for thirty pieces. AS a
good Christian I must put your worth
just a little hover

And now tell me what I Think
"I WILL sire. You think I'm Bail
iff Carefree.'

"'Well, I'm not. I'm La Guerliche.'

White serge and white cloth are to
be much in evidence and brown is to
be favorite trimming for both. The
is exceedingly smart es-
pecially if carried out in stitchings of
taffetas or surah silk, supplemented by
braidings of narrow soutache and
touches of embroidery about the revers
and cuffs of the elbow sleeves. This
season the leading dressma1er are to a
great extent binding the bottom of
Iight-colored cloth skirts with a deep
fold of dark silk and using narrow
stitchings of the same higher up on
the skirts. The idea is a capital one
from decorative standpoint, and then
it makes the skirt more adapted to
street service since the dark trimming
at the foot soils less quickly.
Nothing is smarter than a white serge
2rock by Worth, relieved by dinner coat
and cuff facings Of black corded silk
The coat is cut on pony lines, showing
in the sharply curved away
fronts and also in a delightful little
vest of white silk, embroidered in black
and petunia red silk The Skirt has a
deep fold OF black silk Instead of a
lem at the bottom and above this
there is a tuck, rising above' the tuck
