her attendants are the same women
who attended her in the brilliant days
of tie monarchy. In the drawing-room
are seen the old, silken royal stand
ards of Hawaii. In the trains of
guests are the highest federal, terri
toriul and city officials; there arc
iursits, generals and admirals, states
III: and writer's. Social life in old
Hawaii still centers in Washington
place and all delight in honOring the
beloved queen. The people of Hawaii
who overturned the monarchy still
give sincere homage to this woman.
Impress Of the Monarchy.
That is one side Of the social activi-
ties In Hawaii. The monarchy made it's
impress upon the people and their GUS
toms in the past, and many of these
customs Of habit and precedence have
not yet been overcome, for the ETH
quette of the court OF st. James pre-
vailed at the palace during the reign
Of King Kalakaua and Queen Liliuo-
kalani. The levees, at which presenta-
tons were made, were based in form
and style upon those given In Buck
ingham palace.
With the change in the government
and the setting up Of a republic, the
president of the republic, Sanford Bal
lard Dole, former United States judge,
and Mrs. Dole became the arbiters Of
official social life In Hawaii. Mrs. Dole
was the social hostess Of Hawaii !;
around them were the descendants of
the early missionaries, New England
ers mainly, whose culture, educational.
and religious training have brought
Hawaii to It's high state of civilization
in the last 100 years.
There are as many beautiful gowns
seen In Hawaii as In the cities of the
mainland. In former days, when Ha-
wall was an independent country,
silks and satins and the finer fabrics
were easier to obtain than now. In
tie old days the opera house would

such toilets as are seen in. London
Paris and Berlin.
The army now forms large part
of the population o. Honolulu. Its
uniforms are seen ut all formal af-
fairs; in fact the companies that as
semble in Honolulu are often far more
brilliant than are to be met in main
land cities. The social code of Homo
lulu is strict, and formality demands
a regard for the rules that have been
found necessary for the common good
of society everywhere. The city of
Honolulu is divided into, social dis
tricts, all of the women of the same
neighbOrhood receiving on the same
day.
Stranger Not Held Aloof.
The stranger must needs yield ref
erence to entitle him to entry into the
conservative circle of social Honolulu.
The stranger, however, is not held
aloOf. Every opportunity is afforded,
whenever possible, for the stranger to
mingle on equal terms with the resi-
dents. The outdoor life favors such
mingling-the life around the hotels,
the sea beaches, the homes with their
wide-open porches or "lanais,' as the
inslanders term them; the town clubs
and country clubs, the army posts, the
varied forms of public amusement. All
these tend to bring the stranger into
the midst of the social life of the
capital.
There is the "smart set :" there is
the conservative set there is the
royalty set; there are many social
circles in Honolulu. Among the most
active entertainers are the Princess
KawanaEakoa, beautiful part-Ha-
waiian woman of culture and brilliant
accomplishments, and Prince and
Princess ,Kalananaole prince Cupid,
for short, they say), whose delightful
old villa at Waikiki is the scene of
many and wonderful parties. Prince

AN/ bouffe kingdom of Hawaii
" succumbed to the law of
destiny in 1893, when the
reigning queen was deposed and re-
public set up, and five years later
when the republic became IA territory
or the United States of America, the
romance of the old-time government
disappeared with the furling of the
beautiful Hawaiian flag. But the old,
mOonlit nights still remain; the same
Incompatible climate still enthralls,
and the tinkle and the strum of the
ukulele and guitar are heard beneath
the coconut palms as the native Ha-
waiians sob their ear-haunting melo-
dies, writes a special correspondent of
the Christian Science Monitor from
Honolulu.
No longer is the old palace filed
with diplomatists of foreign stations |;
distinguished generals, admirals, writ
ers and playfolk are no longer re-
ceived in the old throne room by a
Hawaiian king and queen. OF all the
old regime, there still remains only

ing still eventful life in Washington

prince consort; a home filed with rel
les, of the days of royalty; reminders
of the days when King Kalakaua was
the monarch, and she queen herself,
during a brief reign of two years.
Today, however, the queen is hon
ored in Washington place and else

against the city, and it made responsible for the en-
tire cost of the Improvement because in printing the
tce of Improvement it read "south Of Mill Creek in
sead of South of Mill street" Of course the property
owners were notified all right knew the Improvement
was to be made and where to be made but because
OF this error IN printing the notice OF improvement they
saw or thought they way to get out of paying for
the Improvement and took advantage of technicaly
to dodge payment and throw the cost of improving the
streets IN front OF their property the city, So far
their scheme has worked and the city responsible for
the bill II this amendment is not passed the city will
nave the bill to pay and ali the property in it will be
taxed to pay it. Those who have paid their street
mens will have in addition to help pay for the i'm
provements made for these objectors. The ordinance
provides that in this and similar ones re-assess-
ment be made the corrected and the property
owner be made to pay.
There is idea prevalent in quarters that the
reassessent means that property that has paid will
have to pay again. There truth in that The
ordinance provides that where assessments have been
paid they shall be credited of the date paid in any case
of reassessment.
There is no injustice done anyone in making the
property pay for improvements made in front of
his property but there is gross injustice in making those
who have already paid for their improvements go down
into their pockets and help pay for someone's else i'm
provements. Yet that is what will happen if this ordi
