of Hawaiian ukulele players who have
appeared in n popular Strand hotel.

rule, OF an Indifferent sort, although
London was occasionally permitted to

Gently learned to express II and the
crowds which nightly listen to their

Another Hawaiian innovation is
promised in the hulahula dance, the

has heard much but has never seen.
Its popularity is enthusiastically pre-
