supplied for the royal robe of yellow, valued at
a million dollars the most costly royal robe in
existence, and the handiwork of savage women
who have long forgotten the art that once was
theirs, when their fingers created feather robes
for their husband chiefs to wear.
Today when royal parsonage dies in Hawaii,
ancient kahilis or wands of feathers are care
fully reconstructed by those who still preserve
the art of putting them together and after the
royal interment they are again taken apart and
put carefully away. In days Of old even queens
worked on these, and even the present ex-Queen
Liliuokaani worked with her own hands a feather
wand that preceded to the grave poor Queen
Emma, last descendant of the first American to
make Hawaii his home. Again this kahili was
carried before the funeral cortege of Prince
David and will in time precede Liliuokalani her
self to the last resting place of Hawaiian kings
and queens, the royal mausoeum.
Sometimes one may still observe family Of
women in Hawaii wearing one of the old-time, all
but priceless mats. but 1t is tedious work and the
over-educated college-bred girl of Hawaii does
not take toll kindly. Besides the art must be
learned In childhood when the fingers are supple
and nowadays the public schools have truant Of
fcers and every family sewing machine Every
Hawaiian girl, however, Is adept at weaving
wreaths and chains of flowers The lei women
are one Of the sights of Honolulu. For the man
she loves the Hawaiian girl will still weave
hat of native fibre around which she will make
a band Of feathers to express her aloha" or love
for the wearer
AS the native arts and industries in the South
Seas are abandoned one by one before the on
ward march Of civilization the aboriginal of the
tropics are left idle quickly forget how to work
and pass away. In the good old days 1t took
muscular cannibal full six months to chop out
with primitive stone implements his log canoe
In New Zealand the most expert wood carvers were
employed for years at stretch fashioning with
stone hatchets the headpiece for a war canoe
In every South Sea village the sound Of the
women beating out tapa cloth was heard from
morning till night, but nowadays all these things
are done in twinkling by machinery in civilized
lands, sold to the South Sea Islanders for the
cocoanuts they pick up under the trees. There
is no further incentive for them to work. so nature
seems to say to them, "Then why liver" Civiliza-
ton has clothed the savage and robbed him Of
his handicrafts, but it has not yet succeeded in
making him work for the white man. as the white
man wishes him to work
In the good old days Of the great king Kane
hameha, some ninety odd years ago, every
Hawaiian man was warrior skilled in the con-
struction Of artistic war clubs and double canoes
almost as large as modern ships. The women

less relics in the museums of the world.
In the good old days before Hawaiian queen
celebrated the death of her warrior husband by
declaring nothing taboo or forbidden to her sex,
the Hawaiian woman lived on a slim diet. She
might make nets and catch fish for her husband,
but she could not eat them, nor could she dine of
the same mat, made by her hands, from which
her lord and master ate, could she even eat
in the presence of her own son whom she brought
into the world
Once the taboo" was removed, the woman be-
came the equal Of the man, and the arts Ian
guished. When kings could command and kill
the disobedent, rulers Of Hawaii wore a robe of
feathers that took many women century to COM

few feathers that each wild bird of the mountains
