THE little girl was amazed That

less she consented.
Shut your eyes, said Willie. Sit
down here and shut your eyes. And,
mind, if you open them the bargain is

"The little girl obeyed and slowly,

There are four types OF women to ben
seen on the streets and in the shops 1
and homes of Honolulu, and each typef
is a pleasure to the eye.
The native Hawaiian woman wearsq
a "holoku.' This is, in plain truth, a
Mother Hubbard" gown, made with
out fullness-a sort of half fitting
princess. 1t is not artistic, but is no.
ticeable for its spick and span cleann-
ness. have not seen one untidy Ha-
waiian woman on the street or in
shop.
Their holoku gowns are made long;
they hold them up, and invariably
show freshly Numbered petticoats.
Sometimes the holoku is of silk, or
made of thin black stuff, with a lace
yoke; or of sheer lawn or lowered
material. Always it is neat and the
underslirt spotless.
The full-blooded women are strik-
ingly similar in. type; the round, full
face, the slightly up-turned nose and
upper lip, splendid teeth and superb
eyes, and long straight black hair
They are voluptuously built, and in
cline to grow stout after thirty.
The heads of the Polynesians are
handsome and intellectual in shape.
Next we see the pretty little Jap
anese women trotting about the streets
in their picturesque kimonos-always
as tidy and trim as a lady on fan.
And the luxurious costumes of the
| Chinese women often make one turn
and gaze, with more curiosity than
politeness, so splendid are the colors
of the silk coats and so glittering the
| jewels.
When we come to speak of the AM
erican women who are residents OF Ho-
nolulu it is like trying to describe a
garden of tropical flowers.
In no other city in the woodland
have visited many-did l ever see
women so universally tasteful and ar
tistic in their dress as the women OF
Honolulu.
The climate lends itself to delicate
and feminine effects in dress. India
and Chinese silks, pongees the native
pima CLOTH" made OF the pineapple
fibre and resembling chiffon, but much
more durable; lawns, laces and crepes
are the materials in use here.
Every American woman | have seen
whether the wife or daughter Of a
wealthy planter or Government Off
cial an opulent descendant of mission
airy stock (for they are the rich people
of the island), or a self-supporting
school teacher or business woman
has been pleasing picture to the eye.
Not only are their garments dainty
and well made, but they are well worn.
Dignity, grace, exquisite taste and
feminity mark the American women
of Honolulu, and make their drawing
rooms a veritable delight to the beauty
loving eye.
Many of these women have been

born on the island. Several of them
are the third generation born here;
one is the fifth. Their grandfatners
or great-grandfathers came here in
Iearly times as traders, capitalists, ply
lsicians or missionaries.
Besides these four types there is a
fifth type, which is, however, closely
allied to the American. That is the
half-blood or the quarter-blood Ha-
waiian girl or woman
They are born of American, Eng
fish, Scotch or German fathers and
Hawaiian mothers, and they are uni
versally possessed Of striking beauty
and brilliant mentalities. The perfec-
ton of this type may be seen in the
cultured lady known here as Princess
Kawananakoa, wife OF the nephew of
the late Queen Consort.
Princess Kawananakoa was the
daughter of an exceedingly handsome
native woman of good family who
married Mr. Campbell a Scotch-Irish
capitalist, in the golden days of the
monarchy.
In the daughter of this union is to
be found the perfect type of the half
blood beauty, possessed of the joyous
temperament, the good brain of her
forebears and given every advantage
of culture which ouJ american heir
esses enjoy.
There are scores of others born of
these intermarriages, and all are usu-
ally women of position socially. But
there are hundreds of others who are
not so fortunately situated, being born
of Hawaiian mothers whose American
or English fathers laughed and rode
away Happily for these girls, and
boys, too, the liberal spirit of Homo
lulu places no ban upon them. They
wear their fathers names and are re-
spected for their own moral worth.
The Duke of Edinburgh, who visited
this island many years ago, left a
royal daughter to be provided for by
her native mother. His grandson lives
here today, a man of fine appearance.
The Christian-bred white man has
not been altogether an elevating in
fluence on the island. He introduced
rum and the "morganatic marriage to
use a polite term, and he introduced
graft and politics.
Yet he also did away with supersti-
ton, fear of idols, human sacrifices
and many barbarous customs, and es-
tablishing schools.
"These Polynesians cannot be
preached into reform; they can be edu-
Gated into it," said the grandson of
one of the old missionaries to me.
"The school system here is our pride
and glory. 1t is doing what our fore
bears, with all their sacrifice of time,
strength and life, failed to do"
So all honor to education. For it
means the elimination of disease, SUI
perstition and selfishness from the hu-
man race, in time, and the establish
ment of new world and new race

August Belmont, president of the
jockey club, at dinner said Of racing:
Racing is honestly conducted in the
main. The stories that one hears
about it are rather absurd. They are
like the story of Starlight.
Once there was a group of sports
men who were all quite broke. They
must, however, get in to the races, and
one at a time they presented them
selves at the paddock gate.
:" L am the owner of Starlight the
first said. He was well dressed and
imposing. They believed and passed
him in.

bore out his story, and they admitted
him.

appeared.
