CJALL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 31 1897 The bellboy was funny. ‘Shall 1 ‘taxe your card up to tme Princess, or shall I announce you?’ he asked, aiter inwerdly aebatin ieties in the case. One would imagine a bellboy at the Oc- [ cidertal to have nad experience enough of South Sea royalty o decide such a weighty | mailer quite readily. But it is evident that this island Princess is 0 be treated | with all ceremony. The vellboy finally | compromised by deciding o do botk of; the things he had suggests So when the | time apoointed for my interview with | Pringess Kanilan! arrived the boy walked | msgnificently befors with my card, I| waiting discreetly. And then, after a de cent and respectiul intervs!, me showed | me into the pretty sunny parlor, filled with flowers, announcing my presence in | a lond, grave voice. If I were Princess Kauilani and by any | strange chence to inherit the throne of | Hawaii 1 should straightway take that bellboy into my service, for such gifts as | his are wasted in an ordinary, every-day publie. There is something meonarch- sl about him.

This royal Ha- an girl needs not the exaggeration of ewspaper gallantry. Of all her portraits e is none that does jnstice to her ex- ive, small, proud face. She is ex- itely siender and graceful, quite tall holds herseif like a—!ike a Princess iige a Hawaiian. I know no simile re descriptive of grace and dignity than | ast, ani had just come froma luncheon in her honor by friends. She was 2d in a close-fitting black tailor-made wn, braided in bisck. At her throar, g irom the top of a high collar, and wrists black chiffon was pleated Sne wore but one ring, a verv sim- ne. Her very preity black hat flared 10t too much und was relieved by puff« of ite chiffon. Her clothes said Paris accent said London. Her fizure sald New York. Her heart said Hawaii. “You've been down there lately, they teil me.”” she said. *“Fancy vour having seen it s'nce I have. It's eight and a haif years now since I left. Aren’t the islands Jovely? Didn’tycu find them lovely?" ‘The waterfalls tumbling down into the 1 began.

Surely nooneisina better position to praise than the one wio knows the person bing best.” “*Weli, 8witz-rland is beantiful—but dif- ferent. No, 1 bave never seen any place more bea al than the isiands.”” And | “luau, | were there?”’ aren’t the people hospitable and kindly-—| m: Hawailans? Didn’t you find them | so?’ In answer I told the Princess about a & native feast, to wnich I had been | invited at Hilo. She smied at my en- tbusiam over the flowers and the winning softnessof the Hawaiian women. ‘“They have tbe sweetest voices of any women I've ever met,” I conciuded. '_‘My sunt, the Queen, hasa very sweet yoice. Was it warm, tell me, when you 1f uere is one tovic upon which I can grow eloquent it is the warm, wet beat of Honolulu. 0, I dread the heat—a tittle,” she said; ‘it wilts me. But I shall swim—I love to Swim, and I'll live in the water. know, we have a pretty place down Waikikt way—did you see it? No? Well, i know, where the winds can sweep down from the mountains bsck and near the ocean. And then, you know, with us” — she said “'uy"” very pretty and naturally— “July, August and September are the hot months. I: will be cooler now.” W can’t talk politics, vou know, Prin- cess. Tell me something about yourself, your life.” “Well, it nas been a strange life, really. and a very romsntic cne. You would haraly believe how romantic. Still I bave been happy. everybody has been most kind to me.”’ “That isn’t surprising,” Iremarked, in all sincerity. She smiled back at this, showing ber even, pretty teeth between curiing red lips. Ob, +he's very charming, this heir- ess-apparent to a throne that is not. Her dark bair curls softly about her forehead, her eyebrows are so delicately traced, her brown eyes behind the eyeglasses are | large and so expressive. Her noss 1s straight and her skin isas white as Maxine | Eiliott’s, but more warmly tinted. Who wouldn't be a Jacobin in sucha cause? His Suavity, Papa Cleghorn, 1s diplomatically sincere, doubtless, in say- ing that the visit of himselfand hisaangn- | terto theislands has no political siznifi- cance. But the Princess’ youth, her beauty, her grace and hercharming savoir | faire are weapons that no Royalist could resist using. If bonnie Prince Charlie were half so gracious and lovable, the old- time enthusiasm for the King over the water is quite comprehensible. T “Do you know whom I met on the steamer crossiag the Atlantic? Anathony Hope. He sat beside me and we talked. I was surprised and delighted to find him 30 uuspoiled, 80 modest, you know. He isadelizhtiul talker. We talked of books and author-, and he hadn’t a word of dis- vraise for anybody—On, yes, he did, too. For just one.” **And thaton: ?” “Marie Coreili I asked. Why, he told me that Miss Corelli sists that she’s but 18 Extraordinary, isn’t it?” Kauilani's o's and ber a'sare jus<c a bit broader than | an American’s. But I don’t know that that's more English in her than Hawaiian. *“Imagine s girl of 18 with experience | enouch 10 write such bouks as Corelli's. | Mr. Hope admires the French wrirers. fodo L I think the French write better than anybody el e.

Though she is so slight there is that springy sort of spirited strength about Kauilani that makes one think of a steel walch-spring or the tirelessness of a deer. | | “Did you see Lh+ Quesn, Iinokaiani, be- fore vou came ou 2’ “Yes. I called to pay my respectson my wav out here.” There can be nothing in the talkofa rupture between aunt and niece. Liliuo- kalani has not—never has had a more loyzl subject than her proud, beautiful miece. While we were talking a friead of the Prncess, a Hawaiian giri, came in,; and we three got to discussing the politi- cal situation 1n the _islands, despite previous paternal admonitions.. It was pretty, then, to see the earnestness with which Kauilani said: “Even the enemies of my aunt, of the Queen, will tell you that all through her suffering, a!l through her hard treatment, sbe conducted herself with the utmo-t dignity. And she feit 1he indignities, she felt the insults—I know it, for I felt them for her." Between the Princess' delicate brows there appeared two tiny wrinkles. Her spirited face lost its color and she closed her lips tightly. Looking at her tnen I thought to myself, If Kauilani had been the aunt instead of the niece there would have been no Republic of Hawall to ask for annexation. .- . = Everything I had-heard or seen at the islands was of interest to Kauilani.

Why, they would haraly believe me when I said that we had electric lights there.” ‘‘Hawaii ought to be the Monte Carlo of the Pacific.” “Not tha she answered. “But it would make a delightful pleasure place— a winter resort. But, really, they know nothing about Hawaii.” “The thing that makes me angriest’’— it was the friend of the Princess wio spoke—*“the thing I can’t stand, is when people ask such stupid questions about Hawa L.

That same womaa ssked mw what it was, and I told her it was my grandfather’s tooth.” “You did I laughea Kauilani, pressing her shapely long hands together. “Yes, I reminded her of what she had read of cannibals’ long teeth, and told her that whenever my grandfsther found that this tusk of his needed sharpening he | killed a white man or woman and cooked and ate "em. “But fancy—tancy! She sat next to my father one nightat dinner, and, pointing to my belt, said something about what a strange thing it was for me to wear my grandfather’s tooth as a buckle.
