One of the Kings Wives Whom He Chistened 'Ere Pre-

explaining Mr.. Everett's kingly ca
reer.
Mr.. Everett, before he became a
king, was a man-about-town, Beau
Brummel and boulevardier. Lob
sters, champagne and chorus girls
were his favorite dishes.
Suddenly affairs In Wall Street left
him in a shaky state of health finan-
cially, and he started on a trip
around the world.
In the course OF his travels he
came 10 Arorai. Ii Is I'm the midst
of the maze Of islands scattered
through the Southern Pacific. The
nearest centre OF civilization lies in
Samoa, over a thousand miles away.
This was just the place for Mr..
Everett TO start in anew. Fortu-
nately for Mr.. Everett, the king OF
the island, one Rovaka, didn't like
his looks, from a gustatory stand
point, and as 1t was not considered
etiquette for the lesser dignitaries of
the island to take up what the king
turned down, the New Yorker was
not molested. On the contrary, his
fine white tiannels, his manners, and
a photograph which he carried with
him, so charmed the old king that.
before he had been on the island
more than a few hours, the king
begged him TO accept Arawali. his
only daughter, for a wife and named

marriage and named him heir. King
Rovaka then further evinced his lik-

king allowed each Of them TO select

good deal OF misrepresentation among
the women as TO the exact functions
or the various articles OF clothing.
but the king, full of experience gath
cred in years gone by, was able 10
advise his wives, and they were soon
attired In the way the clothes were
Intended to be worn.
The king sat back on his throne,
half closed his eyes, and as the three
wives paraded UP and down the court
imagined he was once again back on
dear old Broadway and that three Of
his favorite musical comedy queens
were waiting on him.
His bliss was short-lived. In some
way the news Of the arrival OF the
wonderful new gowns spread through
the royal domain, and the other
twenty-seven wives quickly presented
themselves at court, demanding

This vacant throne is that OF the
kingdom OF Arorai. one OF the Gilbert
Islands. It's last incumbent was
Archibald G. Everett, formerly a New
York stock broker. Mr.. Everett
abandoned the stock broking business
for the king business rather sud
denly. He had been on the short"
end OF the stock market for some
time-that is TO say, he had sold
whole lot OF stocks that be didn't
own, in the hope that prices would
go down and that when the time
came for him TO deliver those he had
sold, he would be able to get them at
reduced price.
Instead OF going down, however,
the market went UP, and Mr.. Everett
lost out. It was then that he de-
cided that the atmosphere along his
beloved Broadway was too warm for
comfort, and that, by comparison,
even the tropical climate OF the South
Sea Islands might be regarded as
frigid.
This was four years ago. Some few
months later he found himself firmly
established on the throne of Arorai
and the lesser half OF thirty different
wives. 9 He reigned most satisfac-
torily 10 all concerned until a few
weeks ago, when he suddenly devel-
oped desire to return 10 his former
haunts along the Great White Way

False CoIors.

The opal has no color in the sense of augmentation To break open an opal in order to observe it's hues would be the equivalent to killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. Neither golden eggs OF rainbow hueS would be found.
 Opal consists of hydratcd sili- ca. It is not uniform in texture. If the word surface may be used for interior conditions. il might be said that the opallne silica is in the form of surfaces and layers that lie cOmpactly agalnSt one another. These layers refract the light at various angles, glN- ing forth the cOlOred flashes ill the same way that a pure crystal Fprisnl refracts the colors of the spectrum. Technically speaking, these layers of silica are said to possess a different index of re-
 fraction from that of the matrlX.
 As the opal is moved the various layers break the light into colOrs.
 which change, of course, accord
 ing to the position of the stone.
 The iridescencc of nacre, or
 mother-of-pearl, is also a matter of form not actual color. In fact,
 all "changeable" colors are nor" or less the result of form even
 where there is pigmdntatl"n be-
 meath, such as in certain ribbed
 silks. When sunlight bears di- rectly upon finely ribbed metal, as ia file, there is he same play of cOlorS.
 1 In the ease of mnther-Of-prarl an interesting experiment has been made. An impression of the pearl was taken upon pure whit" wax. II was then found that the apparently smooth surface of th" pearl had still sufficient irrrgu- laritirs to impress upon the wax a surface that resulted in Sllni- ! lar color manifest lationS.
