DlD-TIME CHRISTMAS
DINNER At VIDA VILLA

Surely the lines of the guests of Vida
Villa fell in pleasant places Christmas
night. FairyFand was robbed of its
honors. One would be excused if they
had faneied the denizens of that far
famed land had been called upon to
decorate the immense dining hall and
living rooms. Such a beautiful sight as
greeted the eye!
Quite thousand great crimson roses
formed into garIands with green's hung
in festoons from center of ceiling to
side walls which were also draped with
them. and Christmas bells hanging from
broad crimson ribbons, were in arch
WAYS and centers of rooms. There were
boquets of red carnations on every
table and red candles in silver scOnces
under silver shades lined with red silk.
The exquisite napery and cleaning sill
yer and glass of the table accessories
formed a picture not soon forgotten.
Nor was that dinner all for the eye,
as the crowded hall could testify, and
to prove it, this was the menu:
Oyster Cocktail Raw Oysters
Oxtail Soup
Mullet
Lobster Salad
Turkey, Cranberry Sauce
Goose, Apple Sauce
Roast Pig
Beef Tongue
Caulihower Dreamed
Irish and Sweet Potatoes
Macaroni, Spanish
Green Corn, Mince Pie
English Plum Pudding
(Home-made.)
Nuts, Raisins, Fruits
Cider, Tea, hot or iced; Coffee
How | wish I hadn t eaten so much,
but how could one help it, with the
privilege of ordering all, and ali was
so hard to choose from.
After dinner a splendid Christmas
tree was discovered in the living room,
ablaze with pretty candles and laden
with joke gifts for all the house guests,
that created such lot of fun! It was
late when the final good-nights were
said.
I don't think the general public is
aware of the fact that meals alone are
served. A message will reserve a table,
but one must be prompt or space will
be taken to limit. A DINER.

FOUNDED, I'M HONOUR.

No doubt y u have seen in the
papers such announcements as
this concerning some Pedicine or
other: elf, on trial, you write
that this medicine has done you
no good we will re.l nd your
money" Now, we have never
had reason to speak in that way
concerning the remedy named in
this article. In a trade extern
ding throughout the world, no
body has ever complained that
our medicine has failed, or asked
for the return of his money. The
public never grumbles at hon
estly and skillfully made bread,
or at a medicine which really
and actually does what it was
made to do. The foundations of
WAMPoLE'S PREPARATION
are laid in sincerity and honour,
the knowledge of which on the
part of the people explains its
popularity and success. There is
nothing to disguise or conceal.
1t was not dreamed out, or dis
covered by accident; it was stu
died out, on the solid principles
of applied medical science. 1t is
palatable as honey and contains
all the curative properties OF
pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted
by us from fresh cod livers,
combined with the Compound
Syrup of Hypophosphites and
the Extracts of Malt and Wild
Cherry. This remedy is praised
by all who have employed it
in any of the diseases it is rec
commended to relieve and cure,
and is effective from the first
dose. In Anemia, General De-
bility, Influenza, and all Throat
and Lung Troubles, it is a spe-
cific. DIR. Thos. Hunt STICKY

ance of getting well. One bottle

cent. of their total income in American
goods or in building up Hawaii 5 bust
ness and trade
Should the wages be increased to the
minimum of the Higher Wages Associa-
ton s demand, namely, $500 per month,
the increased annual income of the plan
tation hands will be $1,S00,000. The
increased income will, of course, to
some extent, go to swell the import
of japanese goods and the sum sent to
Japan. But the nature of the japan ese
is such that they prefer the American
to the japanese goods, and as they are
showing the tendency of remaining
here and make Hawaii their home
greater proportion than forty per cent.
of the increased income will be spent
in American goods. If forty per cent,
i. e, the present proportion of their
increased income be spent in American
goods, it means $4,000 more trade for
the American merchants, in piece goods,
in canned goods, and other neeessaries
of life But as the japanese pre-
fer the American to the japanese goods.
considerably over a million dollars will
be spent in American goods and in
promoting Hawaii s business, trade and
industries, after the demand for the
increased wages is complied with.
These figures certainly should appeal
to the white merchants of Honolulu
and Hawaii in general. Most of the
benefit flowing from the higher wages
will revert to the interests of Hawai- s
capitalists and merchants.
The japanese are doing an equal
amount of work, of equal quality. in
equal space of time az done by labor
of any other nationality, and yet they
are given only one-third of the wages
received by other labor. The demand
for a higher wages with minimum of
the increase at $22.50 per month is
neither extravagant nor extraordinary.
They are doing just that amount, or
more, of work deserving that pay. The
demand is not hastily made nor for |
mere pleasure of excitement. We are
justice and nothing more.
These considerations viii show that our .
movement for higher wages is started /
10 less for the Interests of the white
merchants than for ourselves, and that
he interests of the white merchants are
lot dBly not inconsistent with, but are
ather promoted by, the increased wages
or the plantation hands. We want the
community to understand that our
movement is not inaugurated for selfish
nd narrow, antiquated chauvinistie
but on a broad and high |
principle of justice to labor, and an
deal to secure for Hawaii an enduring I
welfare and for the American
SIN a good, fertile, productive soil to ]
,lant itself, and grow and prosper>
Very truly yours,
FRED. K. MAKING,
Chairman, Executive Committee, Higher |
Wages Association.
