She will appre- | clate the delicacy of silence I am sure. You and I, Peg, who have known Gene- vieve since our doll days, must be careful not to add another drop to her cup of | sorrow, which is full to overflowing. If| the Goads recetved half the people who | come to offer consolation, which is more | often sugar-coated ecurlosity, Genevieve | would be.inundated with crocodile tears.

LOVIngLY ¥0ORA MCcFLIMSEY. The Afong Girls of Honolulu. was greatly disap- pointed at the failure of the Monadnock to arrive before August 13, and it is sald that he demanded an explanation from Whiting. The court which is making the inquiry convened on the Baltimore to- day, and will be in session for several days. “The Monadnock did not arrive here until 'August 16, and the cause of her tardiness was her long stay at ‘Honolulu, and the fact that the Hawallan capital is the home of Whiting's family has ex- cited considerable comment adverse to him. C since his marriage to Etta Afong, one of the thirteen daughters of a Hawalian mother and the wealthy Chinese merchant Mr. Ah Fong, who amassed a fortune in Honolulu and then returned to China to enjoy his money amid the scenes and associa- tions of his earlier youth. These asso- ciations, be it said, comprised a couple of wives; but all his daughters were in the isles of Hawaii. One day, about five years ago, Cap- tain Whiting sailed into the pretty lit- tle harbor of Honolulu and met his fate. Etta Afong was then a pink- cheeked, almond-eyed bud, and Cap- tain Whiting {vas a gray-haired, pomp- ous, worldly wise gentleman of years and experience. Several of the Afong girls had mar- ried and all were married well, but the Afongs have always loved the officers and their girlish -hearts swelled with pride when Etta married into the navy, and a commodore at that. And the world at large, and the navy in particu- lar, wondered what effect this match would have on Captain Whiting’s posi- tion and how much of a pull at Wash- ington would remain to him. The Pensacola navy yard was Cap- tain Whiting’s first shore duty. This has never been considered a- desirable Evidently Mabel “did her- for Douglass stayed as lon and mamma, who is the pin Admiral Dewey APTAIN W—;T!NG has been a prominent figure in the navy ever post. It is small, and the soclety is limited. The color line is strongly drawn, and Mrs. Whiting’s brunette charms of blended Hawalian and Chi- nese tints were not admired in this Southern post. Later the Whitings went North, and were stationed near Port Townsend. Here society was of gome range, and If there were any lines drawn nobody ever suspected it. The Hetheringtons, of a notoriety that extended from China, south, east and west as far ‘as the latitude and longitude would allow, were established here, and besides there was a lleutenant who was on the verge of a court martial, and a pay- master who was being sued for a di- vorce by his wife on grounds not com- plimentary to the paymaster. A third naval light at this post had run off with another man’s wife, and the Whit- ings completed this circle that the pen of a Bret Harte alone might convert | into virtues reminiscent of the char- acters in “The Luck of Roaring Camp.” Then Captain Whiting went to sea in command of the Monadnock, and at Jast he came to Honolulu on his way to Manila. The day after he arrived here the officer on watch reported a boat along- side. “Is Willle on board?” called up two or three girlish voices in chorus. “Willie? Who's Willie?”” questioned the officer, as he gazed down at a boat load of girls in spotless, snowy muslins and gay ribbons. “Brother Willie,” cried the girls. As the officer looked puzzled and tried to recall a William from wardroom, steerage or in the sailor’s quarters, the girls chorused: “Don’t you ‘Whiting?" “Go downstairs and tell Captain Whiting that there are some young la- dles here asking for him,” sald the of- ficer, turning to an orderly. “Sir,” said the orderly, with sepul- chral solemnity, as he saluted the dignified Captain Whiting, “Sir, there are eleven girls outside asking for ‘Willfe’ Whiting."” The Hawaiian Islands are now won- dering if Captain Whiting's sisters-in- Jaw made Honolulu so attractive to him that he could not tear himself away. lieved here that Captain Whiting w! clear himself and be able to explain satisfactorily the cause of his pro- longed stay in Honolulu. And still the Afongs flourish in the jand of their birth, and they marry off as they grow up with a oneness of purpose unknown to the new woman.

Hutchcraft Hill, a Los An- geles artist, shows some unusually strong work in still life and two landscapes, while Miss Mal C. Brady gives a very good example of the real impressionistic school. Her work is very clever indeed, showing some bold hnndlln? and luminous coloring. This picture will doubtless at- lJatcl considerable attention from the ar- sts. Harry Stuart Fonda exhibits a pl figure composition in “The Nativity,” b sides showing a number of lanscapes, and Mrs. Bertha Stringer Lee shows three 0od studies.

I saw my friend, the medical student, bending over the cad- aver of a man. He had a very small scalpel in his hand and I watched him slowly and laboriously removing with it the skin that covered the right leg. This right leg belonged to him. He had bought it for ten dollars—the price of an extremity. I bought it from him for the same price. He very civilly oftered to give it to me, with the time it would take him to skin it, but as he had already explained to me that after skinning the leg would be practically useless to him for dissecting purposes— because he was dissecting nerves an inch at a time—TI as civilly refused. My story was no news to him. “This isn't the first leg I've skinned for the same purpose,” he said. “Legs make the best belts. You can take the skin right around the waist, but then you have to cut into one of the other extremities. and that's more expense. So we take the leg. See,” he showed me the stretch of skin about the thigh, “that’s big enough forany girl’s waist.” “Do you think any girl would wear it?" I asked. “Well plenty would and plenty do. Smart girls, too. They stand in line and beg for it.” My brain began to sing: And smart girls stand in a line and beg For the skin that's stripped from a dead man'’s leg.

Come out in the I WAITING FOR THEIR -‘PROPHET The Druses, the most mysterious re- ligious sect in the world, are now ex- pecting the coming of the prophet they worship, the Hakim. : | The war between China and Japan and the threatened dismemberment of the vast empire of the Orient were events long ago prophesied by the Druse priests. The first prophecy has been fujfilled, the second will be ere long, and then El Hakim will return in glory. In the land of Bashan, Mount Leba- non, Northern Syria, and in every prov- ince of China his followers are praying and watchins for him. In the tenth century El Hakim suc- ceeded to the throne of Egypt. Then he was a murderer, an assassin and a despot. When he comes again he will be hailed as a god. For nearly nine hundred years his followers hay | their religious meetings every Thur: | day evening, and yet have preserved such secrecy that the world knows nothing of their belief. Fabulous sums were offered in vain for one leaf of the book of their faith, and yet not a Druse could be found who would listen to the proposition. El Hakim, the self-appointed, had an interesting career. He began his reign by the assassination of his sister. One of his pranks was to cause several hun- dred Egyptian women to enter a public bath and then order them walled in to perish. A favorite pastime with him was to have women sewed up in bags and thrown into the Nile. Yet, after his death, El Druzi, a man of ability, espoused his cause and wrote the Druse Seriptures. He bequeathed his name'to the followers of El Hakim. But because he tried to exalt himself he was compelled to flee from the wrath of his converts. He hid in an oven, where some men, coming to bal bread and indignant at his apostasy, roasted him alive. The fanatical followers of the Egyp- tian king are brave and loyal. In the still. hours of the night they meet to worship. When they go forth their lips are sealed. All that is known of their religion is that they believe El Hakim was God incarnated; that he had ap- peared nine times before, under nine different names; that his appearance in | Egypt was the last time he will come to earth as a man. The most devout Druses are now in China. It is among them El Hakim will make his triumphant appearance. PENDENT JEWELS From the FINGER NAILS IS THE LATEST FAD.
