Since jockeys from the race courses In England have gone. almost to man, to the firing line. women have professed themselves as eager to take their places. Some already are trained for the purpose, among them not a few who, in more prosperous and less belligerent days. rode to hounds over English fields and meadows. Many Of these. confident In their riding ability and skill. have petitioned the stewards of England's governing jockey club the arbiters of the turf-tO grant them iockeys' licenses. Recent reports bore the information that the stewards are siving the petition serious oonsidera- don and that there Is strong proO' ability of their granting 1t.

II is so easy TO cOncOct a plausible
evasion. But II is dangerous advan-
tage TINT the parent takes when he
thus imposes upon the ignorance and
the ingenuousness of the child For,
however plausible your excuses may
be. each experience with a parental
promise that ends In disappointment
drives home the thought that promises
are intended only for immediate ad-
vantage and not for future obligations.
AS the child grows older and comes
to understand that promise" does car
ry with 1t an obligation, we should be
careful not to burden him with prom
ises that are too difficult to keep.
Have him promise less and keep his
word up to 100 per cent, rather than
get n larger total performance at the
cost of few broken promises. The
ability TO look forward, to gauge his
strength and resources, to plan his
time, must not be too heavily strained.
It is only gradually that the child
learns what he may undertake with a
reasonable probability of accomplish
ment. And in the meanwhile it is un-
fair to urge the making of promises
that must be broken, in whole or In
part. The danger, of course, is not

resort to promises in our desire to i'm
press the child with the seriousness
of what is expected of him, but in
most cases we succeed only in i'm
pressing him with our own discom-
future.
If the child is too young to attach
any meaning to promising" there is,
of course, nothing wrong In his failure
to keep his promises. But in the
course of his mental development you
expect him to know what a promise
is. When this stage is reached the
word and the associations should not
have cheapened the performance for
him. For this reason neither the word
nor the act should be forced upon the
young child. We should neither exact
promises from him as condition for
restoring him to grace or as the cost
Of favors, nor should we label our
promises to him.
1t goes without saying that the par
ent'S promises to the child should al
ways be kept. But the temptation to

are seen the old, silken royal stand
ards 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
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 its
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-
tions 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-
waii 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
affairs were and are characterized by
such toilets as are seen in London,
Paris and Berlin.
The army now forms a 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 man-
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 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
minglG 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.

the conservative set; there is the

royalty set; there are many social
circles in Honolulu. Among the most
active entertainers are the Princess
Kawananakoa, beautiful part-Ha-
waiian woman of culture and brilliant
accomplishments, and Prince and
Princess Kalanianaole (Prince Cupid,
for short, they say), whose delightful
old villa at Waikiki is the scene of
many and wonderful parties. Prince
Kalanianaole is Hawaii's delegate to
congress.
Golf and polo are played through
out the Islands. Tennis courts abound
everywhere, even at the remote villas
Of the sugar planters far away from
town. The motor car is everywhere,
even going now to the very edge Of
the crater Of Kilauea, on the island Of
Hawaii. Baseball is played the year
round. At the famous Honolulu Coun-
try club in Nuuanu valley, just outside
of Honolulu, is splendid 18-hOle golf
course.
Isolated as Honolulu may be geo.
graphically, its society otherwise is in
close touch with the outside world,
and Is in no sense insular. 1t is ready
to do it's part, with credit to the dis
tinguished strangers whom it may re-
ceive, and its representatives are at
home in any land wheresoever busi-
ness or pleasure may take them.

wv YHEN the picturesque opera
NN/ 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 a territory
of 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
the depOsed queen, Liliuokalani, liv-
ing a still eventful life in Washington
place, the home of her husband, the
prince consort; a home filled with rel
les of the days of royalty; reminders
of the days when King Kalakaua was
the monarch, and she queen herself,
during brief reign of two years.
Today, however, the queen is hon
ored in Washington place and else
where as if she sat upon the throne Of
old Hawaii. On Hawaiian holidays, on
her birthday and many other Occa-
Sions, she receives in semirOyal state !;
the guests are ushered into her draw
ing room by the same officers who Off
ciated when she was in the palace !;
the introductions are made by the
same courteous gentleman who offici-
ated as chamberlain during her reign j;
her attendants are the same women
who attended her in the brilliant days

that the child will fail in his under
takings, but that he will become in
different to the sacredness of his
promises.
Not only in the gradation Of his abil-
ity and foresight but also in the evo-
luton of the child's temptations should
limits be found for the promises ex-
acted. Don't ask Mabel to promise
never to chew gum" it is enough to
get promise for a day at a time
never is too long a period, and car
ries more temptations than the child
can anticipate. SO with promising to
behave mannerly at table" or to hang
up lie outer wraps on coming into the
hOuse-fiX the attention on single
unit of performance, and slowly in
crease the length Of time to be covered
by a promise until promises are made
unnecessary by suitable habits.
Promises may be helpful instru-
ments in the training of children, but
they should not be mere convenient
coins with which to bargain for ad-
vantages.
