AGREE TO DISCARD FOOTWEAR
Natives Of the Golden State Have
Formed a League Which 10 Some
what Unconventional.

Harking back to the days when man
roamed caIelessly across green pas
lures unshackled by costly footwear;
when cool, solid comfort met the ma
ked foot at every step, and when cOrns
and bunionS were unheard of, four
prominent Sacrumentans have formed
what is to be known as the Sacra-
spondent.
There are four charter members OF
the league, all residents of Yardley
avenue, and they are DR.. Robert E.
Smith, James Mccullough, l.. o. Lum-
ry and Steve Downey.
The league was organized in quite
an unintentional way. Which of the
four was the originator is unknown.
But it Is intimated that Doctor Smith,
for several years advocate of the Coat
less Summer league for men, had
something to do with it.
AT any rate, the league has had sew
eral meetings. The requirements of
the league are these: No member must
be too modest to display his bare feet.
He must be without pedal covering
in attending meetings. He must be
willing to, and enjoy, walking on his
lawn before the assembled multitude,
including his wife, unshod.
He must be willing to step into his
neighbors house in his bare feet and
walk across his neighbours hardwood
floors as nonchalantly as though nj
were Pithecanthropus in the jungles
Several meetings of the league have
| been held at the homes of the variou:
charter members of Yardley avenue
| The meetings are preceded by a COO
walk upon the lawn of the host. Al
| the evening becomes cool and member
retire to the hosts drawing room ant
are entertained with photograph sc
lections.
| Despite serious objections to tn
league on the part of the better halve
in some of the homes, the organization
has grown and is now reaching out TO
congenial spirits.
Keep cool and comfortable and cur
your corns," Is the slogan OF tn
league.

her attendants are the same women
who attended her in the brilliant days
of the monarchy. In the drawing-room
are seen the old, silken royal stand
acds Of Hawaii. In the trains of
guests are the highest federal, terri
tOrial and city officials; there are
jurists, generals and admirals, states
men and writer's. Social life in old
Hawaii still centers in Washington
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 eti-
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 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 its 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
the old days the opera house would
be filed with beautifully gOwned wom-
en-, and men always wore conven-
tional evening clothes. The formal

American Girl Dreams of

From Harvard, where important the
cries in chemistry, economics and phi
losophy have been evolved, comes the
latest pertinent discovery that what
girls want and what they get are some
times totally opposite, don't you know.
1t isn't a professor emeritus who
launches his idea, however, says the
Boston Post. It's Harvard student
whose record of having been engaged
three times and thrice disengaged en-
titles him to as much hearing on such
II matter as a string of alphabetical ap-
pendages.
Most girls conjure an image of their

same girls are marrying men whose
Bertillion statistics don't doyetail with
those of Adonis, or whoever the girls
pick out.
The Harvard expert cites instances
of Greater Boston girls who have laud-
ed blonde-haired men and have welded
dark-haired ones. He has seen girls
who preferred brainy men to all things
marry men who are glad the unions
have set up minimum wage scale
And he has witnessed the betrothal OF
girls who spurned all but abstainers
from cocktails and cards to men who
drink according to Hoyle. The theor,
he has evolved is this:

The army now forms large part
of the population of Honolulu. Its
uniforms are seen at 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
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 AIoof.
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
insarfders 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

accomplishments, and Prince and

company, proved one of the best at
fractions ever shown in Richland and

Genced their hearty appreciation of

one of the best performers ever ap-

those who did not secure season tick

for the four numbers yet to come this
