CHAPTER XVIII.
PAVING the Price.


With all their money and all Mrs.
Brands charm the Brands were not
within the inner circle of New York
society. Just what the circle is, is
hard to say. Those who try to define
1t are generally those who know little
about 1t. or who at least are not part
OF 1t. The circle Is composed Of many
segments. There are times when these
segments vie with others so that 1t is
difficult to tell where the one begins

ries are there. and. generally speaking.
they may be determined by the hori-
zontal and vertical lines. New York
has grown vertically; its skyscrapers
stand as monuments to millions, but
from the Battery to the Bronx It
measures the same number Of feet and
inches as In the day of Peter Stuy-
vesant, and 1t Ia the landholders Of
New York that dominate the circle.
Within its circumference there have
been many entertainments. Savants
are welcomed, toasted and forgotten.
Marriage and intermarr1age have
brought many newcomers; million
aires and billionaires have been toler-
ated, but the oligarchy remains
The Brands had neither antecedents
nor matrimony as passports. Brands
wife had beauty, culture, wealth: all
the reciprocal means that society
loves, but she lacked incentive and
ambition. Her nearest approach to
the inner circle was the Long Island
hunting set. She was an ardent horse
woman and rode and drove admirably.
She had been received by some very
smart people Of the younger set In
the hunts at Hampstead and Meadow
brook and II she had pursued these &C.
Quaintances. might have found an en-
tering wedge to the sacred sphere.
But the Brands lived on Little Rock
Bay and 1t was something Of hard
ship for Mrs. Brand TO- shift her
mounts from her stable half way
across the island. An ambitious WON
an would not let such little matter
a. that stand In the way OF social pre-
ferment. but she found the effort irk-
some. She entered few of her favor
ties in the horse show, but more from
pride for her horses than in social
quest. In fact, Mrs. Brand was not
society mad. She courted comfort
and liked her own amusements.
When Jane came upon the scene the
situation changed. What Mrs. Brand
lacked In way of aspirations. Jane sup
piled, and what young Mrs. Reynolds
lacked in matter Of means WAS amply
furnished by her new friend. And
Jane wanted all or nothing. She craved
not only entree to the circle, but ad-
mittance to its most sacred confines.
She urged Mrs. Brand to seek every
possible avenue Of approach to social
recognition and Influenced her to at
tempt lavish entertainments. Brand
was agreeable enough. He rather en-
joyed the energy and zeal that Mrs.
Rey-elas dis played and approved Of
the effect 1t had on his wife. He as
sisted with supply OF unlimited cash.
James only sesame to her goal was
through her friend and by the means
of her own personal attraction. She
made the most Of the latter and the
bills from her modiste and milliner
caused Bob many a misgiving, despite

casually he fingered pad of paper on

artistic trifing. Redeemed eighty. but
his immobile features underwent no

for his hat and neither spoke. As Dick
opened the door the broker offered no
commonplace good-by. His words
might have seemed somewhat irrele-
want, but for the little cross Dick had
scratched upon the pad.

AN ENDORSEMENT FOR SYSTEMATIC
ADVERTISING.

Businessmen who have definite results to get
which depend on interesting the public can get
these results most quickly and economically by
advertising
That s what the Hawaiian Pineapple Pack
ers Association has realized, and to get coun-
try-wide advertising it will spend in the next
few months $4,000 on a big publicity and adj
vertising campaign The islands packers have
big crop to move and they have enlisted the
all-powerful aid of publicity to do it.
The packers are taking the best business
course-best because it is the most effective
expenditure of money-that of letting the peo-
pie know, through reliable and authoritative
channels, what the businessman has to sell.
The proprietor of shoe store or candy shop
or an auto sales agency or a tailoring house or
drygoods concern or real estate office or
anything else that depends on sales for pros
perity can get best results, quickest results,
cheapest results by advertising in the publicity
mediums which reach his patrons and locally
that means the newspapers, chiefly. Nowadays
the concern which doesn't advertise is the one
that is falling into rut which sooner or later
will become gully and soon after that bot
t0mless pit
Advertising by the retailer is store news
and If handled as such is remarkably attractive
to readers The Hawaiian pineapple packers
ID placing their stamp of approval on system
atic adveftising show that any concern, large
or small which wants to get results by reach
ing the buying public should do it by paid pub
fcity and intelligent advertising. The COM
lnunitv made up of live advertisers has an UNI
breakable grip of prosperity.

MAUI AND THE TOURIST.

Our board of supervisors can hardly be
blamed for refusing to continue the monthly
donation Of fifty dollars to the HAWAII Promo
ion Committee from Maui County. It is a
doubtful investment at best, which has never
yielded any tangible or adequate returns as far
as Maui is concerned.
AS an altruistic proposition it has its merits,
butin business sense it has proved worthless
to Maui
The charge has often been made, and we fear
not without reason, that the Honolulu people
instead of encouraging tourists to visit Maui
have done their level best to discourage them
from making the trip in order to keep them in
Honolulu, claiming that we have nothing to
offer them and what there is to be seen OF
scenic beauty is hard of access
Be this as it may, the fact remains that Maui
gets on an average Of one tourist per month,
and fifty dollars per head is too big price to
pay-Maui Weekly Times.

EDITOR
DIR. N. B. EMERSON.

4
A true-hearted and patriotic American citi-
zen, a scholar, devoted expounder of Hawaii
an life, customs and traditions, fine character
has passed in the death of DR.. Nathaniel j..
Emerson.
1t was fitting that for him really great
achievement crowned life of unsparing faith
fulness and energy in whatever task, duty or
recreational research he might be engaged. He
had just finished book upon Hawaiian myth
which is monumental in its painstaking exact
ness and in its scholarship type of scholar
ship peculiarly difficult to compass ''Pele
and Hiiaka, synchronization of much of the
Legendary surrounding the famed volcanic
queen, is the result of seven years of labor-a
labor that for him was one of love- To this
work he gave an immense amount of thought
full care. His friends know the zeal with which
he sought out fragments wherever obtainable,
by word of mouth from. Hawaiians of the elder
generation, from old records, manuscripts and
books, deduced from other writings where sug-
gestions caught his ready attention.
With characteristic pains to produce nothing
but the best, he undertook to see his book
through the press and did so from beginning
to end. The volume was published by the
Star Bulletin and members of the Star Bulletin
know with what assiduous care lie corrected
proofs and made changes the better to salts
fy nice discrimination in mechanical as
well as literary style and substance. The re-
suit, it has gratifed the Star Bulletin to know,
was one which pleased DR.. Emerson deeply.
This monumental work is of permanent value
to Hawaii 1t is significant token of DIR.
Emerson s character Typically he paid his
tribute of appreciation to the Hawaiian people
who had helped him unselfshly through many
maze of labyrinthine legendry.
. He once said to member of tile Star Bulle-
tin staff, discussing the correction of some
galley proofs of his book, "a misplaced comma
causes me distress" The feeling was not irri-
tation over the trivial, but anxiety lest in all
things his book might not measure up to his
ideal. Finding once that he had gone step
astray in the translation of a minor story, be-
delayed his book until he could make suitable
correction. Nothing but the right thing, the
right word, the right turn of phrase, the right
impression upon his waiting audience, would
satisfy him. So his book, besides being a.
monument to research in Hawaii's dim past,
is monument in literary expression.
His services to the Union during the Civil
physician, public health official, valued
member of historical and sociological societies
AL stamped him as man of broad sympa
thies and devotion. His was constructive
type of citizenship whose thoroughness in small
things makes for permanency.
