must be admitted that in many
cases these forces are powerless to

If one turn back to the sixth cen
tury before Christ to find out what
was required of a gentleman one is
rewarded by finding that, though the
ideal has grown, it has never radi-
cally. changed; though, in the course
of the ages, it has had superfluous
accretions that haYe been Topped Of
again, it remains essentially one
growth The heartening part of the
whole matter is that humanity, in the
voice o f its wise men, has never
ceased demanding certain unanswer-
ing ideals.
TO this ideal the chief contribution
of Epictetus was the Stole indiffer-
ence, refraining from all such things
as are not under our control. When
it was reported to Agrippinus that his
trial was going on in the Senate he
replied: Il hope it may turn out well.
But now it is the fifth hour; let us
go and take our exercise" And hav-
ing taken his exercise, one reported
to him. "You are condemned" Then
he said Let us go to africa and
dine"
Practically what Epictetus had to
add to the ideal of a gentleman was
that he should never make himself ri
diculous by inflated hopes or waste
his energies in kicking against the
pr'cks. Seek not that the things
happen should happen as you wish,
out wish that the things which hap
pen be as they are
1t seems that modern life has added
two more qualities to the ideal of a
gentleman; one. that which is so
beautifully depicted by Pater as the
attribute of almost all his heroes eX-
cept Sebastian van Storck; it is the
quality which led Marius to take as
his motto through life, "Tristem, ne
minen fecit;" a kind of tender sus-
ceptibility to the necessary sorrow
and desolation of human life which
led him to go softly all his day in fear
of hurting others. The final quality,
not once limited at in the earlier
ideals, is that of self effacement which
Browning points out in his hero, Ho-

VISITOR WRITES.
ABOUT A LUAU

The following is from late issue
of the Pittsburg, Pa, Press:
One day, while riding, l saw Ha-
waian picnic party seated on the
grounds of a private school for child
rem, says Enle w. Merriman in an
article on Honolulu in The House
keeper for March. There were as
many grown people as children and,
although the appearance of the group
was somewhat spoiled for me by the
prevalence Of European attire, yet |
could see that many of those present
were evidently pure blooded Hawai-
ians. ! was told that it was as near
to being "the real thing as | was
likely to see in Honolulu, so left the
car and walked back for closer
view
The "tablecloth" was woven of
coarse grass or reed and was very
pliable. It was long enough to ac
commodate the entire party and must
have been quite ancient, since nothing
of the sort has been woven in many
years. I should judge that this mat
would sell at curio stores for $500 or
S5OO-possibly more than that for the
design was quite intricate.
Down the center of the table was a
row of wooden dishes called Gala
bashes. At one time this was all the
dish the native Hawaiian owned; but
on this occasion common porcelain
dishes were used in addition to the
calabashes-of course, quite spelling
the effect for the prying tourist be-
hind the hisgh hedge of hibiscus!
These calabashes are each cut from
single block of wood, which is as
hard as our black walnut and which
takes on a far more beautiful polish.
l think it is prettier than either rose
wood or mahogany. In olden times
these dishes were made with stone
tools. Knowing this, one wonders at
the perfection of their workmanship
l have seen calabashes that were hun
dreds of years old, yet were hardly
cracked or warped at all, and time
had impaired to them a wonderfully
fine color. There was one used for
cooking a large sized man-for these
dishes served for cooking purposes
as well as for serving food. The food
to be cooked is put into the dish, then
red-hot stones from d nearby fire
are thrown into it, and exchanged
for other hot stones as they become
cool. This process is kept up until
the food is cooked to taste. 1t must
have been nicely favored with ashes
for. of course, the hot stones could
not be washed; but why should one
be troubled with such trifles!
