The war vessels and the navy dock
for that occasion had been decorated
with all the lavishness and taste to be
had only on the vessels of the navy,
where the materials and the time are
to be had and where the general sur
roundings are such as to make pos
sible such a display of light and color.
A glimpse of fairyland is what the
appearance of the Illuminated cruisers
has been most often Hkened to, and
the simile can not be improved upon.
The gorgeous decorations were height
ened by the costumes of the fair guests
of Admiral Dayton and his officers,
more handsome gowns being seen at
this naval reception than have been
worn on any one occasion in Honolulu

The Evening wisconsin, of Milwau-
kee, in its issue of September 6, pub
fishes the following interesting note in
general grand chapter of the order of
the Eastern Stars, being held in that
city:
In the closing moments of the Mil
waukee session of the general grand
chapter, o. E. S.. beautiful incident
unexpected and a complete surprise
to aIl-took place, which will long be
remembered by all who witnessed it.
''At the close of the installation cere-
monies Mrs. Margaret Howard, the
representative from the Hawaiian Is
lands, Honolulu, presented to Mrs. Ella
S. Washburn, most worthy grand ma
tron-elect, a beautiful article of femi-
nine adornment, called in Hawaii lei
aloha, or love wreath, in the shape of
a feather boa. This gift, the originals
of which were worn only by kings and
queens and persons of title in the
Sandwich Islands of former days, is
composed of the imitation feathers of
those taken for royalty from beautiful
plumed birds in the islands. In the
presentation speech Mrs. Howard ex-
planned the full significance of the lei
aloha in these words:
Permit me, in behalf of Lei Aloha
chapter NO. 3, -. Il. .. OF Hawaii
one of the youngest chapters under
your immediate jurisdiction-to present
you with this wreath, or lei, as the
Hawaiians say. In order that you may
understand the motive which prompted
this gift, and the significance of this
unique present, I will explain: Lei
means wreath; aloha, love; and this
then is a wreath of love- to you.
This yellow lei is the nearest represen-
tation of the royal mamo lei of yell
low feathers, worn only by kings and
queens and chiefs of the highest fam
lilies of Hawaii.
There were several grades and col
ors distinguishing the rank of the fam
lilies permitted to wear these royal leis.
The highest and most sacred were the
royal yellow mamo. These were made
from feathers of a little black-feather-
ed bird, one yellow feather being found
beneath each wing. The birds were
caught by a sort of paste made from
the breadfruit tree, and were released
after the two yellow feathers were
plucked. This was strictly kings |
and no commoner dared have
the feathers in his possession under |
penalty of death. The birds which

THE NAME.
Rv Don MARQUIS.

BY Don Marquis.
It shifts and shifts from form to form,
It drifts and darkles, glooms ana
giows,
1t is the passion of the storm,
The noignance of the rose;
Through changing shapes, through de-,
vious ways,
Through fame and cloud, through
cloud and flame,
My heart has followed all my days
This thing I can not name.
In sunlight on some womans hair,
Or starlight in some woman's eyne-
Or in low laughter smothered where
Her red lips welded mine
claims appropriated in American
My heart has known, and thrilled to
know,
This unnamed presence that it
sought;
And when my heart has found it 50,
Love is the name, I thought.
Sometimes when sudden Afterg1ows
In futile glory storm the skies,
Within their transient gold and rose
The secret stirs and dies;
And when the trampling Morn walks
DER
The troubled seas with feet of flame
My awed heart whispers: Ask no
more,
For Beauty is the name!
Or dreaming in old chapels where
The dim aisles pulse with murmur-
ings
That part are music, part are prayer
Or rush of hidden wings
I often turn a startled head
Toward some saints pictured counte,
nance,
Half faneying that the lips have said:
All names mean God, perchance.
From Uncle Remus's Magazine.
