Meantime Mrs. Roosevelt does a bit oil
amateur gardening and has leisure to
take an active interest in the progress
of Horticulture as carried on in tbS
White House Conservatives.
With the current books of worth
from the standpoint of literature OF
amusement she is thoroughly familiar.
while her range of reading takes IN
the ever varying output of the maya
zines.
An adept with the needle. some OF
the daintiest bits of handiworll come
from her industrious fingers. Few in
FAINT arrivals in the households of her
friends lack some tangible evidence OF
her forethought and skill, the latest
completed output from Mrs. Roose-
velt's work basket being a beautifully
made "slumber coat" of soft blue silk
comfortably wadded and finished with
fancy stitching which found its way
as a christening gift to Philander
Chase Knox III, the infant grandson
of Senator Knox of Pennsylvania.
When Miss Ethel was a pupil at one
of the local schools many OF her at

The Roosevelts have established a
new record for entertaining, the totar
I of their inequalities, formal and in
! formal, mounting up to prodigtous
numbers during the course of a season
In the arrangement of all affairs sucn
as state dinners, teas and musica1es
Mrs. Roosevelt takes a large share
personally. The table in the state
dining room is never laid for any feast
before Mrs. Roosevelt gives minute d.
rections as to floral scheme and Other
decorative essentials, and regularly
throughout the winter, no matter how
frequent the dinners, Mrs. Roosevelt
makes visit to the dining room t.
see the completed work before she ap
pears to greet her guests.
i Punctuality is a byword at the White
House, and as the o'clock dining houl
approaches an almost frenzied haste
marks the labors of the men who art
giving the finishing touches 10 the
table. Always, as the quarter houI
strikes, the elevator running from the
main corridor to the presidential apart

HE WANTS LEAP
YEAR PROPOSAL

Chairman Charles Hustace. Jr. of the
Board of Supervisors, not being inclin-
ed to open a matrimonial agency-even
with the chance of serving himself as
a client-has handed to The Star the
letter printed below with the inclos-
ures, which was addressed to the May
or of Honolulu. The writing is in a
stylish business hand from a stub pen
but is a press copy, indicating that the
writer is casting matrimonial hooks in
different waters. His photograph
show a rather sensible looking young
man wearing the cap, apparently, OF a
steamer officer. Perhaps he imagines
that is a good sort of cap to set for
the rich woman he seeks:

POSTMASTER AGAINST

Sends Congress Commissions Re-
port Opposing Purchase
of Pipes.

Postmaster General Meyer today
transmitted to Congress MS report upon
the question Of the feasibility and de-
STABILITY OF purchasing and operating
pneumatic tubes in the cities where the
service is now installed. He approves
the conclusions reached by the com
mission appointed by him to make an
investigation among which are:
That pneumatic tube service appears
10 be still in an experimental condition.
although progress has been made to-
ward the development or a fixed stand
ard OF machinery.
That the contracting companies should
be required to COmple-e their contractA
without undue delay In order that the ef-
feet Of the fun and complete systems
may be aScertained
That the present contracts will not eX-
pire for nearly eight years and that
period should furnish opportunity for
perfecting the systems and for observ-
ing the effect upon the postal service
That il is not feasible and desirable
at the present time for the Government
10 purchase, TO install, or to operate
pneumatic tubes.

4 May Frost.

The unusual occurred in this section
Friday morning when the recent cold
snap eliminated III a white frost.
Frost was plainly visible on straw,
boards etc. Reports from various
truck growers indicate that cOnside er-
able damage was done to their more
tender vegetables, The frost together
with the cold north winds that sue
ceeded and followed it has done con.
siderable damage to the rice, some
fields looking quite scar and yellow.
1t is thought that the damage may
not be permanent if water is gotten
into these fields soon.

Prohibition Club.

Monday at ) clock, the WOman's
Prohibition Club held most interes-

mex of the First Methodist church.
Father lsi0Ore addressed the ladies
on the attitude of the Catholic church
toward the vice of intemperance and
the work it is accomplishing, The in
formation the Father gave was very
interesting and the ladies seemed glad
to know that this great church is in
line in this work.
Father Isidore spoke very encour-
aging words, saying that he hoped
the cause of prohibition would win
and that every saloon would be put
out of business, and he further stated
that wherever Catholics are found en-
gagged in the business, that it is al
ways in direct opposition to the teach
ings of the church.
Mrs. Hazard gave a reading, pre-
ceding it with an inspiring little talk
which was an appeal to the woman
hood of our town to join in this great
movement, She stated in part, that
