Wahiawa society turned out en- masse
Sunday afternoon to participate in the
wedding celebration of On Yong, mer-
chant and general man of affairs of
the rapidly growing City of Pines.
Mr.. On Yong, with customary Chinese
hospitality, invited all the townsfolk
and visitors to partake of the bounty
of a genuine Chinese wedding feast
and with eommendable catholicity ex-
tended the invitation to every person
within the radius of the pineapple belt,
whether his skin was white or yellow
or his purse fat or slim; thus multiply
ing his own joys by sharing them with
others.
The feast was assembled at four in
the afternoon and consisted of the most
delectable dainties of the Chinese cut
sine. The greater part battles deser.p
ton; but among the list of choice edi-
bles were roast duck, fried Eastern
oysters, baked fish, scalloped sage,
stewed chicken supplemented with aba

The backbone of the labor strike was
broken yesterday morning when half
of the Eva plantation laborers re-
turned to work, and both the Wal
pahu and Aiea plantations were sup
piled with nearly fourteen hundred
strikebreakers from Honolulu and the
countryside.
The news of the return of the EVA
men was the best kind of cheer, not
only for the agents of Eva plantation,
but for all the planters interested in
the labor crisis on Oahu and Honolulu
plantations.
Furthermore, Agitator Fred Maxine

that world of which, to be sure, he
knows nothing
At least he knows much of those
things which lie far beneath the surface,
and when his narrative once more takes
account OF life upon the solid earth it
continues to make a spiritual appeal, to
expose the movements of souls as well
as bodies. Moreover, the play of purely
human life which thenceforth goes on
is somehow enriched and made more
thrilling by what has gone before. We
would say, even, that Mr. Bennett drew

It's sequel is, if anything, more judicious-

sl1epticism we are constrained to admit

a unity. as Imagination, deep feeling and
adroit craftsmanship could give it. 1t

Finck brings in the casual story, the
personal touch, which will illustrate
character or hint at a point of view.
There is, too much more than gossip IN
this volume In it the student of tech
nique will come upon many a profitable
note.
The author of "A Guide to Modern
OPERA" having previously published
similar book on the works of Wagner
and his predecessors. now relates the
iibrctfi of such pieces as The Bartered
Bride" of Smetana. the Louise" of
Charpentier, the "Tosca" of Puccini and
the "Salome" and Electra" of Strauss.
Allusions to the music of these and other
compositions popular nowadays are not
infrequently made by Miss Singleton. but
her aim is more especially to bring out
the dramatic substance of this or that
opera. Her narratives are fairly con-
else, but they are made full enough to
enable the reader to turn from the book
to a performance and follow with
understanding every detail of action that
he perceives upon the stage. The illus
trations are from portraits of noted con-
temporary singers, most of them in op-
cratic costume. Miss Gladys Davidson,
another summarizer of operatic librctn.
tells her stories in romantic fashion,
framing them almost as though they
were inventions of her own. Indeed, her
little book might be read for itself with
scarce any thought OF music or of the
acts into which operas are divided. She,
too, uses portraits for her illustrations,
but they are all portraits of composers.
The new edition of Stokes Encyclo-
pedia of Music and Musicians" brings UP
to date a convenient little work of ref
erence. Though the volume runs to
more than seven hundred pages, 1t is
fairly light in the hand. and to test it
here and there is to find that Mr.. De
Becker treats his subjects with ex-
emplary concision, but without the sac
rffice of anything that is pertinent In
the appendix space is found for matters
so recent as the opening of The New
Theatre.

Very modestly and quietly there steals
into the jostling crowd of new books
published this season a little volume so
small, so old and so completely anti
pathetic to the spirit of most very busie
men" that it might easily be overlooked.
But once let the right reader discern 1t
and the odds are that he will straight
way neglect all Of its tremendously i'm
portant fellows, retiring into a corner to
loaf and invite his soul with the best
of all companions. Obviously we refer
tc the new edition of THE Compleat
Angler" which comes from the River
side Press in one of the most endearing
little volumes ever issued from that
home of good printing. The page is
small, but the handsome type is suffi-
GENTLY bold and there is a wide margin
to boot. Best of all. this page has been
shrewdly designed, it is of just and at
tractive proportions. In word this
edition is perfectly framed to suit the
booklover. If he happens to be-and we
cannot imagine him otherwise-a lover of
Walton, it is difficult to see how the
Christmas season could bring him a bet

delicate, more artlessly favored alike.

To meet them in a volume as beautifully
made as this one IS to have delight raised
to higher power
Equally well made, on the same scale
though naturally in very different fash
ion, is the new edition of Praed. which
has likewise been put forth from the
Riverside Press. The volume is, above
all things, a light and dainty affair, as
BELTS its contents. Is Praed widely read
to-day? We doubt it, and there was good
reason for the inclusion in this edition of
Mr.. Greenslet's predatory essay, wherein
the merits of the poet are solicitouslv
emphasized. Praed needs a friendly
hand. He is to be sure, minor classic
but very minor. and just enough dated"

One hundred and six applications for
