The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-10-08

Two little boys were playing, one was
younger guest,
And they were interested in what they
liked the best
The host was somewhat older, the
guest was very small
But these facts made no difference to
their happiness at all
They played together nicely, they were
having heaps of fun,
But it was by a mother that dissen-
sion was begun.
Said the parent of the younger, SHOW
Harry how you spell"
And he did so to perfection, being
praised for it as well.
"He known all of his letters and can
count to twenty, too"
And Harrys mother said to him, I'm
quite ashamed of you!"
The victim was confused, in truth, as
bigger of the two,
And then as such he frightened, for
he thought he'd struck clue.
So, with his chest expanded, he netort-
ed pompously,
ooh he'll forget all that" he said,
when he's as old as mel"

Our thoroughfares are assuming a
more lively appearance, since school
days have called back into town the
youths and maidens and tiny tots in
duck, gay ginghams and dainty lawns,
who pass along the streets in groups
laden, according to their years, with
books of various dimensions. 1t is in
teresting to watch these as they go by,
as a great many do from windows, or
carriages, or motor cars, the latter
perhaps slipping cooling frothy sodas,
or inspecting chiffon which some OBJ
liging salesman has brought out for
their convenience.
There are many kinds of children
in our little island town. Some walk
through the streets as they walk
through life, with the full knowledge
of the responsibilities heaped upon
their frail shoulders. Others smile
timidly up at one under their huge
hair ribbons with an irresponsibility
which is charming and infectious.
Some swing their dilapidated books
with careless abandon, or sling them
over their shoulder, with gross indif-
ference; others hold them close to their
small bosoms, as though at an early
age they comprehended their worth,
foreseeing the invaluable part their
well-learned scripts will play in the
drama of their future lives.
AS for society-which is d different
topic entirely-it has gone so far as to
don a dressing gown, with OCCASIONAL
ventures into tight clothes, and last
look at it's retirement ere hurting it
self into the full swing Of the winter.
