The brilliancy of everythinghere passes description. I havejust witnessed the Hudson-Fulto- n

Treasurer D. L. Colliding, wholeft for the Coast a few weeks agoen route to New York to attendto business connected with theprinting of a $200,000 bond issue,was in San Francisco recently, forthe first time in nine years, andthe San Francisco Chronicle hasthe following from and about him :

"D. L. Conkliner'. treasurer ofthe Territory of Hawaii, arrivedin the city on Friday, comingfrom the Islands by way of Van-couver. He is en route to NewYork, whither he is bound uponofficial business connected withthe printimr of a $200,000 bondisue recently authorized by theHawaiian legislature.

" 'I came by the northern routein order to get here in time forthe festival,' said Mr. Colliding.'I wouldn't miss it for anything,as I am an old San Franciscan,although I must confess, not hav-ing been here for nine years, thatthe city looks strange to me. Ihad not realized how completelythe business section of the cityhad been changed by the fire. Iexpect to remain here a few daysbefore starting eastward.

" 'Everything in the Islandsjust now is in a very flourishingcondition. It has been a prosper-ous crop year, business is excel-lent and the banks are overflow-ing with money. We are enjoy-ing an era of progress, with grati-fying prospects of large expansionof trade and the completion ofmany needed insular improve-ments.- " 'The Legislature has beenvery active in fostering improve-ments by liberal measures involv-ing the raising of necessary funds.The bonds, the printing of whichI am to look after, are in two sets.One issue of $100,000 is for theimprovement of Honolulu harbor,and the other of like amount is forthe establishment of a water sys-tem on the island of Maui. Therewill be no trouble in floating the'bonds ritrht in the Islands.

" 'The immigration question is

THE HONOLULU TIMES

a live one at present. The lastlegislature added a tax on all in-

comes over $4000 for the conser-vation of the resources of the Is-

lands and for bringing white set-tlers into our midst settlers whowill make homes and stay. Be-

fore the end of the year there willarrive between 400 and 500 Portu-guese families; then A. L. C. At-kinson, former secretary of theTerritory, who is now in Siberia,is sending over 250 Russian fami-lies. The Japanese are in the ma-jority right now as to labor, butwith the coining of the new set-tlers things will be changed.'

"The visiting treasurer saidthat great progress was beingmade in the production of cotton,tobacco and pineapples, and thatsugar was no longer the solestaple of production that it hasbeen. The tobacco now raised ontwo plantations was pronouncedby experts to be of first class qual-ity; the cotton was long in fiberand of great commercial value,said Colliding, and the pineappleindustry, both with the fresh andcanned fruit, was simplv boom- -ing."

A CHALLENGE.

"Come, Worry, let us walk abroadtoday ;

Let's take a little run along theway ;

I know a sunny path that leadsfrom Fear

Up to the lovely fields of Whole-some Cheer.

I'll race you there I'm feeling fitand strong.

So Worry, come along!"

We started on our way, I and myCare.

I set the pace on through thespringtime air,

But ere we'd gone a mile poorWorry stopped,

Tried hard to catch his breath,and then he dropped,

Whilst I went onAn easy winner of that Marathon.

And since that day when vexedby any fear,

When Worry's come again withvisage drear,

I've challenged him to joii? me inthat race,

And found each time he could notstand the pace.

John Kendrick Bangs inAinslie's.

There should be hours for neces-sities,

Not for delights; times to repairour nature

With comforting repose, and notfor us

To waste these things.Shakespeare.

AN EDITOR'S FEW NOTES.

Nov. 1 (All Saints'). Eggssix and quarter cents for one!!(Now, what will they cost atEaster?) Miss our chicken ranch.

Bought 2 good-lookin- g apples,bound to be not so very good onthe inside. Bought 2 lemons, alsofine-looki- but very little juicemostly thick skin and dry pulp.All seemed high and dry exceptpotatoes; and they, high and wa-tery.

Nov. 2 (All Souls'). Attendedannual meeting of Red Cross.Hon. W. O. Smith, the paper says,does not approve of Mr. Wool-ley'- s

work, as to Prohibition forHawaii, while he admires theman's zeal and earnestness as awhole.

A sort of storm for many days,but no great rainfall.

The Legislature is now sittingin special session. The Gov-ernor's Message is an all roundsquare meal and fine for diges-tion.

We must go to see what thatunco' wise conclave will be ham-mering out. We must make atime for that religious duty.

Nov. 3 (Rainbow this morn-ing). One of the grandest (truenobility) men of this Territorysubscribed for the Times today.The friend hailed us on the street.

(It is not money that can makeus feel joyful; but, kind, helpfulwords make me feel almost tobump against the sky and knockdown a cloud ; the effect is thor-oughly exhilarating, as all cantestify.)

Thursday, Nov. 4. (Rainbow thismorning). Went across toYoung Cafe for hot coffee at 6:15a. m. Little later rode up Nuu-an- u;

we confess to not a littleamazement at the finery and tin-sel, etc., of not a few of our girlsof different nationalities as theywend their way school ward ; howthey can meet their laundry billnot to speak of lace and ribbon, isa conundrum the daily wear andtear of it all ! We are often led toask Qtprsclf: "Where are the par- -

ents, what work do they do? andhow are they clad?" But-then- ,

we are an advocate of the simplelife. Wealth can buy and buy andnot miss the money ; but, the poorgirls of small means must not tryto follow on that road !

We really think the clergyought to advocate a pretty neatinexpensive gown for young wo-men.

It is astonishing to note thehats and gewgaws often of many(not of all). Youth is sweet andlovely of itself and needs only aplain quiet setting. To our eyescheap jewelry, cotton lace, ruffles,and a mass of artificial roses overicd and yellow, etc., is, to say theleast, confounded !

Cards are in for the SalvationArmy of seventh and ninth inst.

Talked with one of the officcisof the Board of Health about rigidsanitation in kitchen, restaurantsof whatever grade; and, few otherquestions for the welfare of ev-erybody that we could think ofjust at that minute, not forgettingschool children. There is quietbut earnest work constantly onthe carpet. President Mott-Smit- h

docs not favor clamor orbitter controversy.

Animosity goes for nothing inany work. It is bettev to leadgently. The Arab whispers inthe ear of his steed. But dwellersin the desert and the wildernessare sometimes given heavenljwisdom of which the world wotsnot!

Visited the Legislature for ashort while.

Apropos of church going onSunday we believe that if a man,any man a non-chur- ch goer,would, could, should decide to at-

tend some form of church servicein the forenoon and again in theevening, he would declare at theend of it all that he had been trulyrested and refreshed mind andbody; that he had heard onlygood words, listened to good mu-sic, and had had a time for en-

tire repose and uninterruptedquiet. His conscience would tellhim that he had gained in vigorand was more ready to combat theworking days and their trfals.

On the other hand, not going tochurch but starting off to have anidle day, riding perchance in crowd-ed cars, going from one point toanother, taking part in some play,talking on this theme and on that,

THE HONOLULU TIMES

eating a little here and thereand, at late evening, admittingthe day had been tiresome, evenperhaps irksome and a bore, andfeeling really weary as after a hardday's work no ease or comfortno cessation or calm, for mind orbody.

How really pathetic and hard,that men will seek to be amused onSunday instead of resting. "Sixdays shalt thou labor and do all thatthou hast to do," etc.

& tWe went to the Industrial Home

for Girls, adjoining Kaiulani Schoolthis P. M. And we were pleasedto feel an air of home there and tomiss the stiff, rigid, inflexible linesand rules of such institutions ingeneral and that always makesus to shiver and shudder and infact grow morose for the time im-

patient and severe. We believe infirmness and will-pow- er to the lastletter ; but, tempered with true love,in dealing with youth; and, alsothere needs to be a transparent hon-esty of purpose, that the dullest willnot be able to misconstrue or resist.

We believe we realize and com-prehend, that a real prison must bea real prison; but, no industrialschool for wayward youth boys orgirls should be conducted on linesthat savour of the prison in the leastdegree.

"Now what shall the harvest be?"J t

We walked quickly through intothe kitchen of a Chinese restaurant,and found the same clean and inorder. When we considered thatthis place finds a lunch for likelynot fewer than a hundred hungrymen every day, not to speak ofother meals, the ingenuity and in-

dustry arc deserving of our earnestcommendation.

Nov. 5 But, as we were sayingyesterday, to mould or to remouldthe mind and character of the youngis no easy job no sinecure andthey who engage in the work mustthemselves be sure that they knowthe task are in a way experts, notbunglers. Then will order emergefrom chaos.

& & J!There are 40 girls in that Home

at present, the youngest 7 and theoldest about 18.

A number of these are orphans,little ones with no one to care forthem and put there as an expedi-ency, out of pure Christian charity.(Rainbow tonight.)

Nov. 5 Our "notes" are grow-ing and will be many if we keep on.There seems to be much on handthat cannot be passed by. Thetransports seem to be often inport "Dix," "Logan," etc. Theykeep us all from too much dullness,and are a pleasant lot to meet at allhours.

The transport people make them-selves happy and welcome on ourstreets, often bringing out their lit-

tle ones to let them see all the prettythings Honolulu has to show.

O w

We must always take a deep in-

terest 111 reading over the plain, un-

adorned story of the very poor, thatare pensioners of the Asso. Chari-ties, as set forth, byAirs. Jordan.

"Recurrent (chronic) cases; then,20 families supplied with (good)milk ; a few sent away to the Coast,etc. ; a few children put in school ;

clothing, meal tickets, etc., etc.There cannot much be said of thepoor that is new; it all has aboutthe same old color, (gray).

If the Blessed One when He wason earth, simply stated the proposi-tion : "The poor ye have with youalways, and whensoever ye will yemay do them good," without sug-gesting a remedy for the condition,poor humans may not dare tojudge, far less condemn.

J vH jtNov. 6 This is to be a thor-

oughly busy day for all; the Ala-meda with a lively load, the bazaarsof the C. U. Church are alwaysgreat affairs to a great crowd; andthe day in itself, is a royal blue one,not too warm, not a drop of rain,clear and magnificent. Oh, dearme, what a superlatively lovely daythis is ! It is a queen of days and"Saturday" too, what everybodylikes to have and to go out in, tobuy, to look, to have, to see ! Thepoor workingman is buying hisSunday dinner and feels so happyto have his arms full of bundles;the rich are ordering for their din-

ner parties; and the newsboys areworking off the Coast papers, lin-

gering over them to look at thecolored pictures !

Mr. Cohen passes intent on hismail and the next (passing) pay-ing show !

This is ladies' night at the Com-mercial Club and the scientific vio-

linist, Air. Buchly, has waved hismagic wand and called out, for finefiddling, etc. Young Abies is ableto please for he has industry and

We were speaking the day a min-

We all know, that life at the bestis hard, to the majority; thepreacher, every preacher or priestknows that all too well. Only thefew are rich; thousands are verypoor "not knowing which way toturn" indeed, and even willing towork, to one that is rich.

THE HONOLULU TIMES

Thousands are very poor theworld over to one that is rich. Nowdon't forget that simple axiom.

If there be "work for everyone,"then many work at cross purposesin striving to get at it. That weknow, also. To come down to bed-rock, all life is a mystery that thewisest man has failed to solve.

But we can be charitable andmerciful.

"Oh, what is so rare as a day inJune!" James Russell Lowell.

Our days are all as a fairy tale,Braided of sunshine and showers,

Mists from the sea, the mermaids'veil,

A sprinkle of rain for the flowers.And ev'ry day is a "rare day,"

Every month of the year is June !

To span the sky, hilltop and sea,A rainbow hastens with delight;

Shoving the clouds along, in glee,Wrapping the valleys in colors

bright.And ev'ry day is a rare day,

Ev'ry month of the twelve isJune 1

When all so lovely is our own,We may not dream of other

lands ;

We cannot covet other seas,If ours are fringed with golden

sands !

And ev'ry day is a rare day,Ev'ry month of Hawaii is June.

Put on a combing sacque andbrush, and comb out the hair; theteeth too must always be looked tobefore bed-tim- e.

The nails of the feet must haveas exact care as those of the hands.

Even where one works all theday there is always time that can beutilized for these vitally importantmatters.

To turn to different occupation isnot apt to be tiring; on the con-

trary, change of work is restful andgives one ease to know that the

hair, teeth and nails are in properorder.

es one must learn notto be a sloven. (And, too, shouldbe taught that code, in youth : self-respec- t.)

(Note the "advertising rates,"please that canny, financial sheet,ah!)

Self-defen- se demands that wcpoint to that with the index finger.

In looking over the advertisingrates of the "Service," we see thatthe charge is : "One inch $2.50, twoinches $5.00, four inches, $8.00,"etc., etc.

Why, in all the seven years andmore of The Times, we have neverhad the face to ask the richest bank$2.50 an inch! But that is justwhat the "Service" extorts, and wepresume some of the other inferiorpublications as much. Theircolumns are crowded with ads ; andwhat are we to infer except thatthe firms say: "Oh, yes, we don'tmind, you can print our ad. at anyprice." It is no wonder that newpapers spring up like mushrooms,in order to live on the income ofthe ads. If they do not materializeof course the paper soon expires,not having a literary base at all.Such publications are base metaland in the main, frauds, neitheredifying nor instructive.

We savor of his Majesty KingManuel in one thing ; we never car-

ed too much, for "figgers."We favor exactly an old-tim- e

family domestic "Peggy;" she couldnot count money; but, would (inspile of that,) she would always goashopping alone, dear Peggy; and,after selecting quite ten dollars'worth, say, of goods, that pleasedher fancy, she would put down afive-doll- ar piece, to the amazementof the clerk, and tell him, "to takehis pay out of that."

"Never you mind, Peggy; we'llgo to see that sassy clerk." Andso, by a bit of tact (tax), wesmoothed out always, the triflingpilikia. (One ought surely to know(ken) the value of koin.)

If we are sum wise and know thevalue of a dollar at all times andseasons, we save others from oftenfinancial ruin and despair and our-selves from the reputation of dis-

honest dealing.We are then not a clog, but help

to oil the business wheels of life andtrue prosperity. We may, as one,count for only very little compara-tively, but we all know to what anenormous colossal aggregate, little

THE CHURCH ON THEBOWERY.

By Rev. Luke J. Evers, Rector ofSt. Andrews, New York.

Reverend Father Elliott has ask-

ed me to come to the congress ofpriests, to say a few words to youupon the subject of "Wreckage andSalvage." Perhaps my position asa priest is the most peculiar of anypriest in the United States, becausepeople call me the "Printer'spriest," the "Prisoner's piiest," andthe "Priest of the Bower) ."

Some nine or ten years ago whenI came to St. Andrew's Church inNew York City, many of the print-ers would come to St. Andrew's totake the pledge because "theFather Abbott would not allowthem to enter the chapel when theleast sign of liquor was on them."

(You will notice that the termsthey used were peculiar. Thiscomes down from the time of thefirst ages of printing, when theprinting press was in the monastery.Their printing room is still calledthe chapel.) When these printerscame to take the pledge, I wouldoften ask them, "Do you come toMass ?" and "Have you made yourEaster Duty?" and they would say,

THE HONOLULU TIMES

"Father, it is impossible for us togo to Mass because wc work four-

teen hours on Saturday, and finishour work about two o'clock, Sundaymorning, and by the time we reachhome, and go to bed, we are in themidst of our sound sleep, only twoor three hours then, and it is im-

possible to rise and go to the paro-chial Masses."

I say the Mass every morningmyself, and Reverend Fathers, itwould inspire the heart and soul ofany man who is a priest of God, tosee that noble band of seven hun-

dred to eight hundred printerskneeling like little children beforethe Altar of God at two o'clockevery Sunday morning, assisting atthe Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, andoffering up to Almighty God, aprayer of love and aboration whichis due from every man to his Godand his Maker.

When this Mass first started,many stated that it would not con-

tinue, for no priest would be ableto stand such a strain, but Rever-end Fathers, if you look at me youcan judge, for yourselves the truthof old saying, "Early to bed, andearly to rise, makes a man healthy."

I don't know Reverend Fathers,if the inspired writer thought of thePrinter's Mass when he said therewas nothing new under the sun,but that I should think there wouldbe something new under the sun,if we could find thet omb stone ofa priest whereon was written thathe had "died for want of sleep."No, Reverend Fathers, if we areinspired with zeal for the glory ofGod, and salvation of souls, andthe extension of God's kingdom onearth, if we have the spirit, Al-

mighty God will give us the graceto perform the work, which we areallotted to do, but ReverendFathers, we priests, I fear, are notquite zealous enough.

fc w'The honey, said the farmer, came

out of an old hollow tree. For 10years the tree had been occupied bya swarm of bees. The farmer hadnever bothered the little insects, forthe very good reason that he didnot care to destroy the tree and heknew of no other method of gettingthe honey. In consequence thebees worked away in peace. Yearafter year they stored up their crop,until the tree had literally been satu-rated with honey. Several timesthe farmer considered the advisa-bility of cutting the tree down, buteach time he decided that he neededit more than he needed the money.This, of course, goes to show thathe was a very sweet old farmer.However, one morning not longago he was very much surprised todisocver that the bees were desert-ing their old home. He watchedthem and discovered that they weremigrating to another hollow tree inthe neighborhood. The farmer call-ed his wife and they ubzzled overthe situation for half an hour, final-ly reaching the conclusion that anew swarm was being driven outby older bees because the quarterswere becoming too crowded or per-haps because of domestic difficul-ties. As the farmer figured it out,nothing short of a big fight couldcause the bees to desert their hivein the winter. Two or three dayselapsed without a more satisfactoryreason for the migration havingbeen offered, and the farmer hadreaffirmed his original verdict in thematter several times when, onenight, he was awakened by a trem-endous crash. The noise seemed to

But beforehe reached the yard the noise hadceased and he was unable to deter-mine what had caused it. The nextmorning, however, he found that abig 10-to- n boulder had rolled downfrom the top of the hill and hadsmashed everything in its path. Atthe end of its route lay the old beetree. At last it dawned on thefarmer why the bees had moved,but he is still seeking an answer toone point : How did the bees knowthat the 10-to- n boulder was goingto fall and, if they did know aboutit, how did they know that it woulddestroy their tree?

J i"ACTS OF GOD."

A man started from Quincy,Mass., for Boston, on January 2,1904. Instead of reaching the Bos-

ton terminal in fifteen minutes hegot in at six o'clock the next morn-

ing. He sued the New York, NewHaven and Hartford Raihoad here,in the City Court, for two thousanddollars for the failure of the rail-

road company to deliver himpromptly. The company, in de-

fense, said that the train was heldup by the worst snowstorm Bostonhad ever had, and that during allthe time it was held up it was inthe yard seven hundred feet fromthe Boston station. He got a ver-

dict for fifty dollars, which wasaffirmed by the Appellate Divisionof the Supreme Court. The Courtof Appeals has now reversed thejudgment. The opinion says: "Theonly question is whether the bliz-

zard in Boston was 'an act of God.'

If it was it would absolve the rail-road company from risk." Thecourt decided that it was, and namesas other "acts of God" unusual andextraordinary freshets, wind-storms, Hoods and earthquakes.The opinion says that all the de-

fense the company should have putin was proof of the occurrence ofthe blizzard.

"Acts of God" is an ancient lawphrase found especially in old fireinsurance policies.

But it is well worth while to lin-

laid away in lavender. (In an ageof machinery and factory-mad- e

pickles and tinned fruits and bak-er's bread and cake made by whole-sale, Mrs. Wright's quaint book islike a whiff out of a dear, ancientland, where there were rose gar-dens and leisure and sprigged mus-lin dresses and the sweet aroma ofsuch skilled concoctions as are setforth in these pages.)

THE VALLEY ROAD.

At eventide I shade my eyesAnd peer into the West,

Where, winding down the shiningplain,

And round each wooded crest, ,

The highroad goes the sunset way,Upon the endless quest.

Full many a traveler I have seen(And one was passing fair)

Go down the valley from my door,And swiftly vanish there.

Some I have sped upon their path,And lightened some of care.

One day I too shall take my staffAnd down the valley go,

For one who went was passing fair,And waits for me, I know.

And I shall find her O my Soul !

Beyond the sunset glow !

THE CARS.

As we arc, even today, an earnestand constant patron of the cars, wetrust we may be permitted to makea passing remark ! Were we a man,it seems to us today, not the offerof the riches of Golonda couldtempt us to undertake certain caresand duties, involving often severeand undeserved criticism, as a surereward for the management, for in-

stance, of any car road, the worldover; for, indeed "the world over"there must and will be accidents,various and of divers sorts, big andlittle. All this, then, a manager

must promise to endure and to un-

dertake. An accident, true, is afearful and a fearsome thing, evenif' one secures as a result, only ahard shaking up. To be "shookup" thoroughly, like to medicine ina bottle, is not to be desired often,or even at long intervals.

But to come nearer home (Pu-naho- u),

if we are to he suspiciousof evil, in every car on the road, wemay as well one and all becomemonks and nuns and not ventureoutside the garden walls. Weshould rather fancy, that the RapidTransit concern will be as activelyconcerned and vigilant as practica-ble, to conserve and preserve itsown interests and well-bein- g. Nocompany, however, is superhuman,and accidents will happen, in thebest of business affairs, and have towork ever on the base of profit andloss. Not even Manager Ballen-tyn- e

himself can go down inside aniron bar or even be able to deter-mine, with any degree of accuracy,when the same may or will be"played out."

It really looks as if we shall, oneand all, have to trust in that, as inother mundane affairs, to a mercifulProvidence to carry us through insafety. (We can all stand a triflemore in the way of faith.) Butcertainly every human precautionshould be taken, btoh early and late,for it is a terrible calamity to bemaimed, bruised and shocked. (Nochances should be taken in tryingto serve a community !) The motor-me- n

ed, and not ignored.P. S. Mr. Ballentyne, be it said,

and the fact is known to all inter-ested, has rare acumen in road af-

fairs: rare tact, courage, persever-ance, and often under difficulties.He is kind, courteous, accessible topoor and rich alike, willing to makeamends, and to mend all pilikia asfar as is reasonable. We recall thismoment where an elderly personwas only slightly hurt by the carstarting too soon, and Mr. B. wasmore than kind, ordered to have adaily doctor and a nurse, everynourishment called for, at his ex-

pense. This we know personally.0& & t&&

A PRAYER.

Teach me, Father, how to goSoftly as the grasses grow;Hush my soul to meet the shockOf the wild world as a rock; x

But my spirit, propt with power,Make as simple as a flower ;

Let the dry heart fill its cup,Like a poppy looking up ;

Let Life lightly wear her crown,Like the poppy looking down,When its heart is filled with dew,And its life begins anew.

Teach me, Father, how to beKind and patient as a tree ;

Joyfully the crickets croonUnder shady oak at noon ;

Beetle, on his mission bent,Tarries in that cooling tent ;

Let me, also, cheer a spot,Hidden field or garden grotPlace where passing souls can restOn the way and be their best.

O vIMMIGRATION AND CON-

SIDERATION.

People of the peasant class, sud-denly transported from familiar

surroundings to a foreign land, with;none to speak their language and'none to understand or sympathizewith the troubles they must find inadapting themselves to altered cir-cumstances, require special and con-siderate treatment. Otherwisesmall troubles will become aggrav-ated into large ones ; dissatisfactionwill become enrooted, and there willbe mutual disappointment on thepart of the newcomers with the Is-lands, and on the part of their em-ployers with the immigrants.

The present experiment withRussian laborers appears to be in afair way to failure through what isprobably a series of misunderstand-ings, fomented into grievancesthrough ignorance on one side andfatuous folly on the other, and mag-nified through the mischievous workof those who do not wish to see theexperiment succeed. Just whatparticular ground for complaint theRussians who have left the planta-tions may have, we do not know.Complaints, supposed to be fromthem, have appeared in the Man-churi- an

newspapers, but the naturalinference to be drawn from a read-ing of these complaints is that somemore skilled pen than that of apeasant wrote them.

The fact remains, however, thatthere is complaint and that, in theminds of some, the complaints just-ify charges of injustice and of mis-representation on the part of theagents who brought the Russianshere. Before the matter goes anyfurther, an investigation should bemade by the board of immigration,through capable interpreters. Ifthere be ground for legitimate com-plaint on the part of the immi-grants, such should be learned andthe cause removed; if the groundupon which complaint has beenmade is found to be one of misun-derstanding only, proper explana-tion can be made to those interestedand a better understanding arrivedat.

The Russian experiment looks sopromising as one means of settlingthe labor difficulties this Territoryexperiences that no misunderstand-ings capable of being explainedaway and smoothed out should beallowed to make it abortive. TheRussians who have so far landedhere are apparently of that classwhich will make desirable settlers;the reports from Manchuria are tothe effete that a practically inex-haustible supply of labor is availa--

Seldom has a ceremony been sobeautifully aided by the touch ofdecorative originality. The altarsection was a modified Chinese andJapanese garden scene, where palmsand ferns banked upon the platformsteps and to the choir rail gave aneffect of a cool mountain glen. Atopposite ends of the rail were twofloral lanterns of white asters, frag-rant replicas of the quaint stonelanterns seen in oriental gardens,in each a candle burning. The twoside aisles, where they opened intothe space immediately before theplatform, were guarded by beauti-ful Japanese torii gates worked outwith flowers and vines. The postsand lower crosspieces were formedof white chrysanthemums andwhite asters, the top part of maile.Swinging gates of gilded bamboo,covered with a fretwork of astersand maile, gave an unusually pic-

turesque effect. The aisles werealso flanked with pillars woundwith maile and topped with fernsand the featherly plumes of sugarcane, satin ribbons confining thepillars to the pews.

When the Mendelssohn weddingmarch was played, a quartet of chil-

dren, two boys and two girls,walked down the main aisle, and,separating before the chancel, wenttwo by two to the torii gates. Fol
