I've caught dreadful sickness, ana
the worst part of it is
That my husband says the symptoms
are similar to his.
It's constant monomania, and IN
contide in you
And perhaps you will be good enough
to tell me what to do.
Is there in honolulu a physician who
can cure
Acknowledgements which has a fas-
cinating lure?
| caught the sickness when a young
man in a rUnabout
One afternoon for speculation called
to take me out.
We reached the suburbs safely and |
was feeling fine
When suddenly, alarmingly, he chang
ed his seat for mine,
Now you may be chauffeur" said
he, I gasped in dumb despair.
Then l exclaimed Indignantly /
thought it wasn't fair.
That any man who'd do thing like
that should go to Jail.
He only laughed. Eve got to if hope
to make a sale"
SO with both feet on the throttle and
with hands clutched on the wheel
l cried We'll let her go! You'll get
the worst part of the DEAL
At length grew more confdent said
he, You're not so dense"
But ere ned finished I'd removed the
corner of a fence,
| killed dozen dogs that day and
badly scared a score
About two hundred scattered here ana
there, or maybe more
With my knee | kicked a loud "konk-
konk" and heard a soft "chug-
Chug''
And 1 fell a ready victim to the wretch
ed auto-bug.
And I'm in great dilemma for they
say the price is high
And when ] ask, my hubby says Wen
get one lin one eye"
SO I've caught the dreadful sickness
and the worst part of it is
That NY husband says the symptoms
are similar to his.
It's a constant monomania, I've con-
tided it to you.
Now perhaps you will be good enough
to tell me what to do

Was last night a really truly affair,
or only dream?"
That is the question tnat many Ho-
nolulu ladies asked themselves on
Wednesday morning Bnt their dane
ing slippers and silk stockings, the
YEARLY thrown aside decolette gown
and the little dance card all smeared
over with Smiths and Browns and
Joneses proved that the generous
pocket books of the hospitable officers
could answer that it was no idle |
dream, no visionary spectacle, but the
most unique, stupendous and altogeth-
err lovely naval affair ever given in |
Gentlemen of the Pacific Fleet, re- /
move your caps while we make our |
deepest courtesy to you for you surely |
have won out We have never seen, |
and in all probability never viii again
see hospitality dealt out with such
lavish hand.
Long before the guests entered the |
tarpaulin covered entrance the fresh |
odor of cut palm fronds was
waited in the night breeze. The sail
or chaps leaning over from the ships !
along side loaned a conscious air to !
the scene and we all wondered as we
walked along to the martial strains
Of the ships band wha revelation was
in store for us
To the right and left were artistic
little stalls where spic-and-span chi
nese sailor boys served punch and
lemonade. And then the bogus ship
U. S. S. Honolulu in her berth on top
Of the wharf I
Wasn't it great? Some ladies went
up her ladder with'the assurance that
Sebree would be there in the
line!
Well, it was unique was it not? And
'or originality what did you think OF

stood on either side of the Tennessee's
sangway. One lady acknowledged
heir stationary salute with a formal
how-Ou hen she didn know hey
lad just been pumped up By-the-way
what wonderful tales those fellows

Two bands comprising about fifteen
pieces each, rendered the dance music
,ut it is a marvel how any of it could
