HEN the picturesque opera botiffe kingdom of Hawaii succumbed to the law of destiny In 1893, when the reigning queen was deposed and a re public set up, and five years later when the republic became it territory of the United States of America, the romance of the old-time government disappeared with the furling of the beautiful Hawaiian flag. Hut the old, moonlit nights still remuln; the same incomparable climate still enthrolls, Hid the tinkle and the strum of the ukulele and guitar are heard beneath tiie coconut palms as the native Ha- waltanj sob their ear-huuntiug melo dies, writes a special correspondent of the Christian Science Monitor from Honolulu. No longer Is the old palace filled with diplomatists of foreign stations; distinguished generals, admirals, writ ers and playfolk are no longer re ceived In tile old throne room by a Hawaiian king and queen. Of all the old regime, there still remains only he deposed queen, LlUuokalanl, liv ing a still eventful life In Washington place, the home of her husband, the prince consort; a home filled with rel ics of the days of royalty ; reminders of the days when King Kuliikuua was the monarch, and she a queen herself, during a 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 semlroyal state; the guests are ushered Into her draw ing room by the same officers who offi ciated when she was in the palace; the introductions are made by the same courteous gentleman who offici ated as chamberlain during her reign; her attendants are the same women who attended her in the brilliant days of the monarchy. In the drawing-room the early missionaries, New Ehglund 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 bcnnUful 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 filled with beauUfully 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. It uniforms are seen ut 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 Hono lulu Is strict, and formality demands u 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. 8tranger Not Held Aloof. The stronger 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 "lanals," as the luslnnders term them ; the town clubs and country clubs, the army posts, the varied forms of public amusement. There is the "smart set;" there Is the conservative set ; there is the When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don t get scared ana proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract.

The Broken Broker, The late Judge Pennypacker of Phil adelphia was an advocate of the en franchisement of women, but he also advocated justice, in the relationship botween the sexes, for man. "Woman," he said, whimsically, one day at the Pennsylvania Historical Society, "mustn't play it both ways. She mustn't get the vote and the equal wage through man's sense of equity, and then get all kinds of unfair privi lege through his sense of gallantry. "There's a lot of truth in the story of the young broker who, after his failure, was thrown over by a pretty girl. " 'Why was the engagement broken off?" a banker asked the ruined bro ker. " 'Well,' he answered, 'after I'd giv en her a string of pearls, art opera box and a birthday gift of a 12-cylinder limousine I went to smash and her people accused me of amusing myself at her expense.'
