A CAY INTERVIEW WITH
THE PRINCESS KAWANANAK0A

waste your time making me a spell
ling teacher" suggested the princess.
When her wish was being carried
out she hoped up the stairs and chat
ted gayly about Honolulu San Fran
cisco, Washington and her "hulking
brute Of a brother, prince Cupid"
you should see my brother-really
a brother-in-law-'Cupid, who is in
Washington. His name is so hard that
the people still call him by the nick
name which he was given when he
was a baby and did look like a little
bronze god of love. His real name is
J. X. Kalanianaole and he is a dele
gate to Congress from Hawaii. The
funny congressman like to call him
Cupid and co so. 1t is indeed anus
ing when they call for Cupid to take
the floor. The great big hulking brute
does not look like a cupid now Ha,
ha, he is too fat, but oh 10000 nice.
LIKES A GAY LIFE.
You seem to want me to talk about
things which interest me, so l will tell
you. / like gay life. Baseball
am devoted to it, polo, l watch with
enthusiasm; golf, tennis-all the
sports I watch them and some of
them play myself like to be where
l can start something. Noise and ex-
element keeps one young and gay.
When l am in Honolulu l have a con-
tinuous round of pleasure-gay times,
tell you"
"lf you are not married you would
like to go to Honolulu. 1t is a gay
place. Next to Honolulu, San Fran
cisco is the best and liveliest city;
but if this is The Paris of America
it should be-what is Honolulu? AS
| before saId, If you are not married,
you should visit my native city; there
they keep things humming There is
a cosmopolitan crowd, and they can
make a pace | cannot begin to tell
you all of the gayety that is there for
one who knows how to get acquaint-
ed. There IS often trouble getting in
troduced into society, unless you are
very well known; but, without trying
to break into social functions, there
is yet excitement where one has
money and health
DASHING AMERICANS IN ISLANDS
at seems strange that an English
game, polo, has such hold as it has
in Honolulu. When l was over there
during three months there was hardly
a day but what could get out to
a fast polo game. Well matched teams
fine horses and handsome men to be
seen in abundance. l have noticed re-
Gently that Honolulu is becoming more
of a military center filled with dash
ing American officers, VINO do every
thing well.
Although l have been away from
San Francisco for only few months,
l am startled to see how fast they are
building up the city. Riding through
the streets, one can amuse ones self
counting the new buildings put up
within few months. They could not
be counted on the fingers and toes
not that any one wants to count on
their toes here.
"A morning talk does one good. |
can go back to bed, have my meal with
more appetite, take a little more sleep
let us hope that it is a beauty nap
and then another dip One should be
what you call a good fellow"
SURROUNDED BY GOOD FELLOWS
Besides Miss Rhodes, her guest, the
princess carries a retinue of helpers
and is constantly attended by comely
companion who has a fund of jokes
and is familiar with life in many coun-
tries. Mrs. Buchanan, of a formerly
prosperous Honolulu family, seems to
be a highly entertaining companion
and shows a unique way of making
suggestions.
The princess will make her home in
San Francisco during a part of this
coming winter, but she says that she
is constantly obsessed by the wander
lust" and finds travel the best way to
avoid ennui. Her son Kalakaua, aged
Z years. is visiting eX-Queen Liliuoka-
lani and is in charge of an uncle in
