WOMEN SOLVE PROBLEM Of
PRESERVING NIGHT BLOOMING CEREUs
Ea!BYT 3

The problem of how to preserve the
beautiful night blooming cereus blooms
so that they may be sent across the
Pacific Ocean to relatives and friends
on the mainland has just been solved.
The secret has been revealed to Homo.
lulu people by two California women
who are visiting here. 1t is by dipping
the pretty bloom in hot paTahn.
Mrs. NJ. Carr, of Los Angeles, and
Miss Joy Noble, of Oakland, yesterday
treated many Of Honolulu Is choicest
flowers with this method and now have
a big display of the waxed flowers on
exhibit at the Donna Hotel. Many per-
sons have called to see them and all arc
amazed to see the cereus bloom in all
its beauty preserved to perfection. For
the visitors it was the first time they
had seen the flower in the daytime, as
the blossoms always close when brought
to the light.
In the display are the red hibiscus,
golden shower, pomare, oleander, roses
and many other varieties. All are pre-
served by the wax in all their beauty.
Even their delightful fragrance is pre-.

served. 1t is said that specimens may
be kept for many months by simply dip
ping them in the hot parafiin.
Miss Noble says she has preserved
carnations for year at titne. One
time she says a box Of these waxed
flowers was sent all the way from Oak
land to Germany to bride there and
upon their arrival were reported to
have been in perfect condition. For
some time, she says, the California peo-
pie have been treating the blossoms by
this method in order to preserve their
beauty for long time. The only pre-
caution necessary is not to allow the
flowers that have been waxed to get in
the sum as the wax will melt
Persons who have lived here for thir-
ty years and more are delighted to
learn that night blooming eereus and
other choice Honolulu flowers may be
thus preserved. 1t has been suggested
that when the Hawaiian Islands make
an exhibit at some other far away coun-
try or on the mainland at the San Fran
cisco World IS Fair an exhibit of the
flowers here be sent so that persons who
have never lived here may enjoy seeing

"joke' was on them and they would
put the $75 down to "profit and loss
and experience. - 1t was the first time
in the history of the firm they had
been taken in in this manner.
They wrote that the stranger was
perfectly familiar, or appeared to be,
with the inner workings of the firm
and described him as follows:
No Teeth but Plenty Gall.
CHE is fairly tall, with sort of light
gray hair, about forty years old. The
most distinctive naturalization was the
fact that most of his teeth had been
knocked ont. He only had one or two
of his front teeth left, and claimed this
was caused from an automobile acct
dent"
George W. Smith is puzzled over tho
matter and has so far been unable to
trace the stranger down. The hand
writing is that of an Englishman. The
firm will write to all their correspond
ents in the Eastern States and as many
Honolulans as possible living in East

Others must wander ana continue to wander. and dream in vain of the green fields of Virginia or the fjords and glens beyond the sea, To those who have Il not home Is heaven.
 Is 1t possible that the many white children lyho are continuously being born in Alaska will look back in the years to come with the same longing toward the North with which the others now look back toward the South? When wanderers conJure up pictures of their childhood they sel- dom include the majestic scenery or the luxury that might have sur rounded the place of their birth. They wish to see rather some old delapidat- ed orchard in which they pilfered ap- pies, or some old mud fence behind which they hid from their searching playmates. The memory of the bees buZzing al noon time is sweeter than the sweetest song of the nightingale The silence of the evening in th, fields Is Seraphic music to the retro spective mind. Or It may be that the loveliest memory on which the mind of the wanderer can finger Is the old grocery store down the street from which you brought the sugar to your mother as she stood by the fire or which the kettle was singing. Win f be in days to come that our young white Alaskans will wander and dream of the bridge across Snake riv- CT. or of the matutinal walk up Stead man avenue to the public schools. Can Alaska live in the minds of its white children as Southern homes live in the minds of others? Will Alaska have a future population unified by the tie of common motherland?

The Western branch Of that worthy institution has set twen- ty-uve years as the limit of youth for women, and has declared that after that age women should be able to take care Uf themselves. But the ladies Of Pussic. x. J.. have other thoughts upon the subject.
