WOMAN BETTER LOOKING THAN IN OLD DAYS

HONOLULU. Nov. 5.-Almvsr for. gotten on Inc mainland where dozen years ago she was the subject Of con. tinued newspaper gossip. I.iliouka. lani, last monarch of Hawaii. is still very much alive in her native land. Hardly a week passes that she does not provide copy" for the Honolulu Tapers. This copy Is not always will insly supplied. You do not necessarily have 10 be a reporter 10 learn, ii you live in Honolulu, that the eX-queeu is very much averSe to being inter- viewed. As a usual thing. in fact, practically always a published inter vicw with Her Majesty. Queen Lfliou- Ealani, Hawaiis Queen. is q fake. According to ono or her attaches. MT laukea, during the three months that Ray Stannard Baker was in Hawaii collecting material for his magazine articles, that arc still ranklIng in the
 hearis of the sugar planters here, he made protracted, but always inef. fectual efforts to secure an interyiew with the queen. She will not see news paper men. However. since a cat may look at a king" there is nothing to prevent a reporter from seeing her eN- Majesty if he stays in Honolulu any length Of time
 Sees Her Majesty.
 ! have seen her many. many times within the last ten months. l have been presented 10 Her Majesty: have Eenuflected. and kissed the royal hand: have seen and spoken to her in her home and out of it, but never interviewed her. She is old now, seventy-four in September. 1912. anu one has to respect her years quite as much as her rank, and consider her wishes. Besides, she has a temper No longer tan last June she went into a perfect rage and had 10 go 10 bed for several days because her wishes were crossed.
 No reporter. no matter how ambi. Iious he might be would like to run the risk of putting an old lady tOl bed for several days in The faint hope that he might sell all interview with her. Having mentioned her temper. l think l should do her the justice 10 say that she keeps it pretty waii in ] check now, except when ner wishes are crossed, and she sees to it tha. !, nobody comes around her who Is like | ly to cross them. J. O. Dominis. clerk : of the court. and aprotege Of hers i who has grown up at Washington Place. the Queens home. says that she i is like a mother to us all"
 All Seek Washington Place.
 This Washington place is one of the first sights sought out by the tourist when he comes to Honolulu. 1 and he is usually disappointed to see. instead of the magnificent palace his |, imagination had pictured, a simple two l story house, set in the midst of won derful tropical foliage. The grounds ! are small, but well kept and beautiful, i and very fragrant. The royal residence l is not unlike the country farmhoussI of a well-to-do New Enslander. In i fact, it was planned and built by a New England woman. the wife of old Captain Domonis. the Queens mother inlaw One unique feature it has in the broad stairway. which is made Of the beautiful koa-wood, one of the na- tive trees of the Islands. Except on the rare occasions when the house IS thrown open to the public, the QueenI hyes there, with her retainers, very much as the grand danes of Colonial days lived with their servants. l have fre1uently seen her about the place, dressed in the black hOloku. beloved ty the Hawaiian woman. and attended ty her la.dy-n- waiting.
