CONFINEMENT NOT LAzINESS

We know there are all kinds

strenuous life is like the boy

There are many men on
earth who do not want thtir
brains racked with perplexine
problems; men who are willing
and glad to do any work that
is wholesome, provided they
can get a good livelihood; men
whose minds are not idle, even
when doing the so called mon.
otonous work.
There are others who, though
qualified for higher positions,
are perforce of circumstances
loyalty performing their duties
in order TO keep a necessary
income; men who, even under
such circumstances, are using
their surplus mental energy in
the better performance of the
duties of their work and in
study, work or pleasure out of
work hours.
In many cases the position
, toward which an extra ambi-
ton might push them would
render them, BY its eXaction of
strenuous work and worry,
wholly unfit to lead a comfort

many girls of 'the States" would have
been able to display so much general
information about their native places
Does Miss Jones of Detroit know the
population of her city? or Miss Smith,
of New York, know the height of their
tallest building? or could Miss Blank
of Massachusetts give an outline of
the kind of government first exercised
in the colonies? Miss Woods referred
to all these matters quite incidentally,
and when she spoke of the native
women, the natural question: view
of our memorable November 2-was:
Has there ever been any suffrage
movement there?" -
She opened her dark eyes wide, and
smiled. .
Il should say there has! The ma.
tive women are great politicians.
They haven't the suffrage, but they
have organized a suffrage movement
and they are very active in the politi
cal affairs of their husbands-cam-
paign for them in local elections, and
are the real power behind the throne.

From the Boston Evening Record,

November 81
The first thing the tourist sees of
Honolulu is mass of gigantic ferns
and trees, with the mountains rising
abruptly in the backgrounds tropi.
cal riot of brilliant color, with the
blue sky overhead, the blue waters all
about, and the city itself almost com
pletely submerged in luxuriant vege-
tation and embracing hills.
The sight, gladdening the eyes OF
a traveller, has a certain sadness If,
instead Of arriving, you are taking
leave, and looking upon the Hawaiian
city for the last time. And If il should
happen to be your native city you
would feel its beauties with poignan-
cy that not even joy can give.
Such was the impression carried
away by Miss Elizabeth Woods, who
came here to study art, leaving her
native city for her first trip to the
United States.
AS she talks of Honolulu you get
a picture that no photograph, painting
or even movie" can give you. Peo-
pie who have lived in beautiful place
all their lives do not always appreci-
ate its beauties; they are apt to take
them for granted. and get their keen.
est realization only in absence This
is not the case with Miss Woods, but
she is not the average person. Seeing
things with the eyes of the artist, she
saw Honolulu for what it is; the ques-
ton may be, whether it is not Homo
lulu that has made her ansartist.
She arrived here early this fall to
enter upon the two years. course at
the New School of Design, 24S Boyl-
ston street, and will not return until
the two years are up.
We on the Atlantic coast are rather
proud Of our autumn colors, but to
Miss Woods they appeared dull and
unsatisfying.
