a GREAT many years ago, when

sic girls began in the playtime
of their youth to prepare store of
household linen, for no girl was left
uncourted after she had reached 16.
One after the other of the daugh-
tiers in a family stepped forward in
mathematical precision, and was
promptly matched and dispatched,
and it almost never happened that
the swain who came accounting look
ed beyond the oldest daughter of the
house at her youngest sistre.
She was kept in the background un-
til her elder sister was married off
because her oldest sister always mar
ried first. There was no doubt it would
happen; it was as assured she would
marry first as that the oldest tree in
the forest is the first to fall
Conditions have changed. There
may still be a lad for every lassie,
but lads have grown more wary in
the disposition of their precious per-
sonages, and lassies. have grown more
skeptical than the masculine person
age is precious, and also more indie
pendent. Under the new dispensation
the man who comes counting picks
out the girl he loves, and there is no
gainsaying him, though there may be
ten older sisters left hanging on the
parent tree.

harbor commissioners is doing and has done In
fact, the harbor board since its inception two
years and q half ago has been board full OF
energy end constructive ideas, and harbor and
wharf niaproye ments III Hawaii have progressed
rapidly under its administration.
At least one member Of the board, Mr. Wake
field, has placed his resignation at the disposal
.of the governor. Very many people in Hawaii
will wish to see him retained on the board. Much
sof, the good work accomplished has been due to
his initiative It is certain that if his resigna-
ton is accepted it will be no reflection whatever
on the high quality of his public service, but
merely in line with such reorganization of the
territorial administration as may seem to the
new executive a wise policy.
