Aiding
THE 3URr
T THE3 time of their annexation to the
United States much was heard of the
Hawaiian Islands as the key to the
Pacific, a name which, unlikn mnut
tags, seems to be a fairly accurate de
scription. Situated between 19 and 23
degrees north latitude and between 164
degrees 40 minutes and 162 degrees
west longitude, they are at the Junc
tion of the principal steamer routes
across the Pacific and Indeed are the
only land of any extent within a radius
of 2,000 miles. This situation gives
them, Inevitably, great strategic and
commercial Imnortanee. Tn thn nnrth
the nearest land Is Alaska with the chain of the
Aleutian Islands, 2.000 miles away; to the east,
the North American continent, 2,000 miles, and to
the west, the Philippine islands, 4,500 miles.
Honolulu Is distant 2,100 miles tfrom San Fran
cisco, 2,460 miles from Victoria, B. C; 4,700 from
Manila. 3,400 from Yokohama 3,810 from Auck
land and 4,410 from Sydney.
The American tourist to the Hawaiian Ulands
will probably take ship at San Francisco, al
though the steamers from Vancouver are also
good. He must remember that from a United
States port It Is possible to sail to Honolulu only
on a ship under American register, unless he has
a through ticket to the Orient and planB merely
to stop over. The first day or two out of San
Francisco are usually cold, so that heavy wraps
are essential, but as the rest of the trip Is warm,
rooms on the starboard side, getting the trade
winds, are preferable.
After the hills of the coast range have dropped
below the horizon there Is almost nothing to see
a whale perhaps, or porpoises1, but no land and
very rarely a passing ship. But to the man who
has never been n the tropics the ocean, so ut
terly different from the North Atlantic, Is a reve
lation. There usually are no waves, as the At
lantic traveler knows waves; but the whole sur
face of the sea sways gently in great, silent,
lazy swells.
The harbor of Honolulu Is not large. The en
trance Is 35 feet deep and 400 feet wide; the
Inner harbor is 35 feet deep and 900 feet wide,
but this width Is being extended to 1.200 feet
The water Is always still. Indeed, the name
Honolulu means "the sheltered" and Is appro
priate, since there are few severe storms and..no
weather affects the safety of the harbor, which
In consequence is usually crowded with shipping.
As the steamer enters the channel people watch
the Japanese and Hawaiian fishing boats, usually
dories painted some bright color, that contrast
with the gray tenders of the men-of-war Near
the dock the water is alive with Hawaiian boys
swimming about and shouting, ready to dive for
nickels and dimes, not one of which do they
miss. They are marvelously dexterous swim

.that Is pleasanter and more unusual than look-
me oi iuu uuuuuuieuiy practical dui aiao un
doubtedly ugly warehouses and United States
government storehouses which line the shore.
The streets, In so far as the uneven character
of the land permltB, are laid out at right angles.
Fort street and Nuuanu avenue running from
the sea toward the mountains, and King, Hotel
and Beretanla streets, more or less parallel to
vtbe 'coast, give, as being the principal thorough
fares, sufficient indication of the street plan. All
after leaving tho business center pass between
luxuriant gardens which are never shut In by
walls, but aro enclosed only by low hedges,
usually of red flowering hibiscus. In many parts
of the city tho streets are bordered with tropical
flowering trees that are a glory In the late spring
months. An admirable electric car service covers
the entire district of Honolulu, traversing or
crossing all the main streets.
Of public buildings the first In Importance Is
the Executive building, formerly the royal palace.
This stands near the center of the city, on King
street, in Its own open park. It Is used now as
ttia offices Of tha governor and of territorial of
ficials and contains also the chambers of the
senate and bouse of representatives. Built in

as It does, with no other buildings as contrast,
approached on all four sides by short avenues
of superb royal palms, surrounded by splendid
great trees and gay shrubs, cream colored, Its
wide, cool galleries giving an effect of lightness,
it has an appropriateness that makes it almost
beautiful.
A building of real Interest, constructed of
brown tufa stone from Punch Bowl and sur
rounded by striking gardens, is Lunalilo house.
This was established by bequest of King Lunslllo

here about a hundred of them live on and on
Some are blind; some deaf; all are decrepit
They sit in the sun under the palm trees and
talk of times 70 years ago, quarrel happily and
vociferously and sometimes marry these octo
genarians and nonogenarians. They have plenty
to eat, comfortable quarters, a weekly excursion
to church In an omnibus, and, life having become
something nearly approximate to heaven, they
see no valid reason for changing their state.
Not seldom do they pass the century mark and
many remember, or claim to remember, the death
of the first Kamehameha.
Private gardens line all the streets, their luxu
riant trees and shrubbery happily masking the
houses themselves, most of which make no pre
tense to anything but comfort People live out
of doors, and the result is that broad vine cov
ered verandas or "lanals" the Hawaiian term
Is used universally are the most noticeable and
characteristic features of many of the houses.
The glory of the gardens Is their palms royal
palms and dates principally, but also wine palms
and fan palms and their flowing trees. In the
spring the Polnciana regla makes huge flaming
umbrellas of orange or scarlet or crimson; the
Golden Shower, sometimes a stately tree, Is bung
with Us thousands of loose clusters of yellow
bells; the Cacla nodessa spreads Its great sheaves
of Shell pink and white blossoms like a glorified
apple tree; the Pride of India Is a mist of laven
der. But at all times of the year these trees
look well, and In addition to them there are gi
gantic banyans throwing cool purple masses of
shade; algarobas with their feathery leaves,
through which the sunlight is pleasantly diluted
and the Insignificant flowers of which supply the
tons of honey exported annually to England.
People work In Hawaii. For those whose
lots are cast permanently in the islands life is
not what it appears superficially to tho touriat,
one long, happy holiday. Nor is there here, as
in so many tropical countries, a three-hour hiatus
in the middle of the day, when men and women
take their siesta. Hours of business are what
they are In New York or Chicago, and life la
planned too completely perhaps along northern
lines. In Honolulu men go usually to their clubs
to luncheon the Pacific, the University or the
City club talk business and hurry back to a
long afternoon In their offices. These clubs. It Is
fair to say, are delightfully arranged buildings
with windows on all sides to catch any breeze.
Of them the oldest is the Pacific, formerly the
British club, on Alaeka street The house has
broad verandas on both floors and large, cool
rooms. The University club, more especially a
resort of younger men, has a pretty cottage near
the Hsvralian hotel. Its nicmtorahlp Includes n
large number of army and navy officers, grad
uates or West Point and Annapolis, as well as
men from American, English and German univer
sities. The City club, much more Inclusive in
membership, 1b in a business block in the center
of the town. There are also of course, as In all
American cities, lodges of various orders, Masons,
Odd Fellows, Elks and Bed Men.
While men are lunching at their clnbs their
wives give luncheon parties or go out to lunch
eons a form of social entertainment which
would seem more suited to a cold climate than
to tropical midday, In tho late afternoon the
Country club In Nuuanu valley or the Pacific

ties occasionally and much more amusing moonlight-surfing
and swimming parties. There Is me
particular social season in Honolulu. More peo
ple are out of town in summer, but on the other
hand that Is the time when boys are at home
with their friends from American colleges, and
they must be entertained day and .night. This,
therefore, is the time to Bee more of the distinc
tively Hawaiian forms of amusement.
The ancient dances, or "hulas," are not often
teen, both because the art of dancing is being
lost and because many of the dances, in the
motions', which make them up and In the wordi
which accompany them, aro, from a clvlllxe4
point of view, indecent Some of them are occa
sionally given In an expurgated form at the
vaudeville theaters or certain selected dances, u
entertainment after private "luaus," and no op.
portunlty to see them should be neglected. They
are often marvelously graceful more so than
are the Arab dances Jand with the monotonous
beat of their musical accompaniment are very
poetical and quite In a class by themselves.
Of good theaters the Islands are destitute. An
occasional series of mediocre performances at
the Opera house in Honolulu .brings out tha
whole population. Of interest to tourists whe
have never been in the Orient, however, them
are the Chinese and Japanese theaters with their
Interminably long plays, often gorgeously co
turned and probably well acted. Nor Is there
naturally much opportunity to hear good profes
sional musicians.
For the women of the place housekeeping Is
none of the easiest Servants are all Orientals,
admirablo as far as they go, but with Inevitable
limitations. The Chinese are faithful, good
cooks, and immaculately clean In their work.
They are in general preferred to the Japanese,
even though during the Chinese New Year, for
three days in January or February, they all de
part on' their annual holiday. During these days
no bribe could make them work. They also at
that time have the habit of giving to the fami
lies for whom they work expensive and usually
hideous presents, which must be prominently dis
played for months after. An amuslng'part of the
Chinese New Year is the necessity for men of
calling on all the Chinese merchants of their
acquaintance ceremonial calls where , they are
regaled with queer, cloying sweetmeats and cham
pagne. The Japanese are filling the ranks now
as house servants, since under the United States
Immigration laws the Chinese population is grad
ually dwindling. They are far less reliable, bat
are often excellent cooks, and Japanese maids
in their bright klmbnos are picturesque about
the house. They can be tavtgbt almost anything,
and once taught never forget, bat unfortunately
the knowledge acquired is often of the parrot
variety. For example, a lady gave a luncheon
and before the guests arrived showed her new
Japanese maid exactly how to serve each course
and what plates to use. The following week
she gave another luncheon exactly like the first
but omitting one course. Her Japanese maid
served it perfectly, except that when the time
arrived for the course which was left out she
brought in all the plates and then carefully re
moved them empty.
Because of the lack of literature there la bo
way to get any permanent Impression of the
charm of Hawaii except by a visit Its history
one can road and can appreciate it one is able to
adopt in the reading a sympathetic point of view.
The fact that thoroughly American ideals per
vade all phases of Island Industry, of modes of
living and of social intercourse may be accepted
and theoretically believed. But the Hawallaa
flavor, with which tbeso ideals are subtly lm
presnatd end that 1ninlb1y affects all who
have lived there, Is something Indescribable,
something whloh seems to emanate from the
misty hills, the whispering waters, the exquisite
vegetation, the low voices of the people. All thlt
may be grasped only through the senses. The
eyes must see from the shores at Walklkl the
bright carpet of water beyond whloh Diamond
Head so proudly stsnds at the gateway of the
world beyond. The ears must catch the melody
of Hawaiian song and tho swish of the wind In
tho palms. The scent of stephanotls and pin
mar! a and ginger must strike one as it steals
through tho hibiscus hedges around secluded gar
dons. The whole body must respond to the ten
der caress of trade winds that have blown across
a thousand miles of warm ocean. Only this is
full knowledgo and the sense of this no words

NEW YORK. Yo remember O.
Henry's story of the little shop
girl who worked for M a week
in the big department store eelltag
the wonderful finery she herself never
could hope to own, but who, because
the strong face of Lord Kitchener,
looking down from the colored print
on the wall ef her hall room, had
stirred some Innate warning too deep
for her to understand, had refused to
"go out" with the flashy young man
who tooft all tho other girls to dinner
evenings? O. Henry called It the
"Unfinished Story." He exilalaed
that the face of Lord Kitchener might
not always be looking down from the
wall, and you caa. draw your own
conclusions.
. It Is to prevent Just that sort of
thins; the finishing of thoee tragic
stories, so many of which find their
ending dally in a big city, that Jons'
L. Fruauf has created, ma unique an
organisation as caa be found any
where in the country. It Is a school
savings bank a bank for school chil
dren to drop their pennies and dlmea
Into as insurance against the bondage
that shadows those many girls who
work for) 6 weekly In the big shop
of New York.
Started by Principal.
John Fruauf is principal of Public
School No. 14. at No. 225 East Twen
ty-seventh street Briefly, he has es
tablished his work on this theory: A
girl with a trade that will earn her a
good living Is less apt to go wrong
than a glr) whose wages are Insuffi
cient to feed, let alone clothe and
bouse her. This latter type of girl he
points to aa generally being the shop
girl.
"A girl who graduates from public
school," he says, "has two courses
to go to work at unskilled labor in a
store for what she can get generally
3 to 15 a week, or to eater a trade
school, from which she will be grad
uated with the ability to earn a good
living wage. The school savings bank
we have established Is Intended to
give children of the poor a chance to
save enough money to learn a trade,
and thus to prevent them from meet
ing the fate ef the girl a the 'Unfin
ished Story.' "

The teacher acting as receiving teller
credits the deposit oa the cash memo

money and compares It with the bal
ance of the cash memorandum sheet
after which the cash Is placed la aa
envelope and sealed, the amount writ

number and teacher's name. Each
teacher then repairs to the room of
Dr. Soaneaberg and deposits her class
collections la a strong box, which is
takes to one of the big savings banks.
The bank opens the envelopes, com
peres the amounts within with the
amounts written on them and, if cor
rect eo stamps the eavelopes, which
are returned to the teachers as can

entered in the pass book of Public
School No. 14.
As Dr. Sonnenberg explained, It Is
easy to deposit money, but while

titled to draw at any time he or she

Otherwise There Is No Excuse for the
Publication of the Tolstoi "
Lexers.
Word comes from St Petersburg
that the widow of the late Count Tol
stoi has published more than 600 let-
tors written to her by her late hus-?-band.
Tho letters begin with the pre- -posal
of marriage, and cover the
period of betrothal of the count aad
the countess and m:ay years of their
weddod life. The countess In her
preface says that It is, her desire to
give all that cherish her husband's
memory access to what was dearest to
him In life. Nine letters are with-'
held, three because they concern liv
ing persons and the last six he wrote
because the countess thinks that the
time to publish them has not arrived.
It la very rare, wo believe, that let'
ters of distinguished persons have
been published to the world In this
manner. As a rule, women are too
sensitive to make public the most In
timate affairs In their lives. Only a
little while ago the world and hla
wife were shocked at the publication
of the love letters of Robert Brows
ing and Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
It seemed as If it were little less than
sacrilege to expose the intimate love
life of the 'two poeU. Browning, we.
know, was the roost sensitive of men,
and It to easy to Imagine his Berserker
rage had aayone suggested such a pro

years of existence? No, you cannot
for when you hear that those children
of the tenements have on deposit in
the school bank $10,350.29, you will
be Incltoed to laugh. Yet such la the
case.
The matter ef school savings beaks
originated with J. H. Thlry of Long
Island City several years ago. The
State board of education adopted reso
lutions permitting the ntnblinhrocwt
of such Institutions where advisable,
and thus, with the way opened, Prin
cipal Fruauf started eutto make such
a bank a reality la his 'school. The
first thing he did was to appoint Dr.
Herman J. Sonnenberg, one of the
teachers In No. 14, active head and
organiser of the bank. Dr. Sonnen
berg, out of several schemes that had
been tried, evolved, In February, 1911,
the system that is still In use.
The bank was opened formally on
February 20, that year, and the first
day's deposits showed a total of
$160.34. From that time to date the
bank has accumulated deposits that
JUST CONVERSATION.
That women can smile, scrap, kiss
and throw the harpoon Into each other
at the same time was demonstrated by
a story told at a recant banquet by
Senator William S. Keuyca of Iowa.
Some time ago, tho senator said, a
woman called on a femalo acquaint
ance whom she bad not seen for sev
eral yer? Fond embrace, kisses and
all that sort of thing, and then the
chirp began.
"Just think, Mary," observed the
deal more red tape to get cash out
than it does to put it in. To begin
with, the parents of the children first
must sign the check 'for withdrawal,
and it then must be countersigned by
the principal. This method Principal,
Fruauf explained, prevents the with
drawal of funds for the purpose of
lolly pops or other delicacies dear to
the heart of children. It will be easily
seen that his methods, praiseworthy
as they are, have made him by no
means popular with the candy ven
ders who find their customers largely
among the school children.
Over $200 In One Day.
When any depositor has accumulat
ed $6 la his account he is privileged
to have the account transferred to
his own name at the bank. In other
words, he is given a regular pass
book at the savings Institution where
the school bank deposits its funds,
and thereafter is a bona fide depositor
in the larger institution, save that be
Is still not allowed to draw his money
without authorisation from his pa
rents and principal. This is a prero
gative held by the school, for tho rea
son that It was through It that the
account was transferred.
"That our bank Is a growing Insti
tution," said Mr. Fruauf, "is shown
by the dally Increase In our deposits.
On the opening day we had deposits
of $160.34, while last Monday $204.57
was credited to the accounts of our
children.
"The bank does many things be
sides giving children of the poor a
start in life once they are out of
school. It teaches Indelibly the theory
of saving, creates a tendency to eco
nomy, promotes business sense In the
handling of money and provides tho
competitive desire to save. You
should see our little fellows and girls
hoarding up their pennies against de
positors' day.
Great Aim of Institute.
"But seriously, the greatest aim hi
to aivo the public school graduates
particularly the girls a. chance to get
on their feet once they are out of
school. Statistics have shown that
girls who have trades are far better
qualified to meet the battle for sub
sistence than those who have not and
are obliged to take unskilled places
at whatever employers choose to pay
them. A girl, In my notion, raroly
gets Into trouble because she wants
to. It Is because she Is driven to It
by sheer desperation. You will find
the percentage of girls who make mis
takes greater among the classes who
live In poverty than among Uiobo with
plenty The answer is simple. The
opportunity te make money evidently

The Temples of Karnak.

of more Intrinsic Interest than Karnak,
