RECOLLECTIONs OF HAWAIIAN
ROYALTY.
Gorham D. Gilman, an old-time Resi-
dent of the islands, remembers his first
introduction to royalty on visiting the
old capital of Lahaina in the early '40s
He says: Il was intrusted with mes
sage to his Majesty, the king. III de
time. I presented myself at the ga-e.
My name was taken, and [ was imme-
diately ushered into the presence % re
king, who was seated beneath Tie Ia

ing. Being ushered into the royal pres
ence, I felt a little embarrassed, but
tried to give the message in Hawaiian

and for a few moments the conversa-
ton was carried on in this way.
speaking English, and the king speak
ing Hawaiian, until, with laugh, tie
king said that 1 spoke Hawaiian well
enough to talk to him. This removed
my embarrassment, and our interv cw
was exceedingly pleasant.
Still another little incident that w.
reveal the at-homeness of the king and
people at Lahaina: One day l heard
some people coming up the road, sing
ing, and, stepping to the veranda, 1
saw a small company parading the
streets in a shower of rain. 1t was the
king. his wife. the queen, his trusty
friend and official, John Young, and
wife. and several others in the party.
They were without shoes and stockings
and hats, and with large wreath OF
MALE, and no more clothes than neces-
sary. They were as happy as any
children playing in summer showers.
The company had just come from per-
forming one of those ancient acts OF
community interest, teaching the peo-
pie the dignity of labor. The king ana
his friends had a kalo patch, and had
been cultivating it with their own
hands These little incidents may seem
trivial, but / think they illustrate the
easy. happy life which the king en-
joyed.

Entertainment Vastly Pleasing to the
Little Ones.
~Nrs~ss-NtI~~

Little children of eight or nine, and
wen some bigger girls of ten or Il,
are fond of playing with paper dolls.
10 1t was bright thought that came
10 one little hostess to give Dolls
House Party in order to amuse her
young friends.
This Is how the entertainment was
g1ven-and 1t was such complete
success that instead of dolls house
parties being quite novelty, as they
are at present, they should soon be-
come. quite popular. First Of all the
little girls were invited to tea, from
five to eight. On arriving they were
received by their hostess and her
mother, and when they had all assem-.
bled, the latter read them some short
stories, new stories or old favorites.
as preferred.
When the reading was over. the
children were asked to illustrate one
Of the stories by making dolls house
and inviting the other children to visit
the home of the STORY book people"
A large cardboard box was given to
each child, arranged for two-story
house, and pictures OF furniture. cur
tains, rugs, ETC., cut from shop cata-
logues, were put in boxes on the Ia

her own furniture. The dolls them
selves were cut from fashion cata-
ognes and illustrated papers. and each
child was asked to select her own
samily.
The children were busy with paste
and scissors until tea time. and then

Every year millions upon millions Of
dollars find their way from the towns,
villages and rural districts of the coun-
try to the Golfers Of the mail order
houses In the cities, and go to the up
building of enormous institutions in
the centers of population. Naturally,
the sources from which the contribu-
tons are made suffer accordingly.
Figures ever tell a better story than
words. Here are figures which tell
story SO stupendous that it's full sig
nificance cannot be grasped in a mo-
ment, but the mere sight of which are
awe inspiring:
In the year 1905 two mail order
houses, located in Chicago. did bust
ness amounting in round numbers to
$80,000,000. In the year 1904 these
same concerns did business OF about
$62,000,000, a gain of $18,000,000 or
nearly 30 per cent. in q single year be-
ing thus exhibited.
These figures represent the sale last
year of one dollars worth Of merchan-
disc for every man, woman and child
in the country by two catalogue houses
alone, and those operating from the

A friend once told me that the

opinion, for 1t is the sane housekeep-

In tbs science of good housekeeping.

to do and what to leave undone: the
woman who never plans a days work

Nowadays women take quiet mo.

have time for a little rest of some
