We rub our eves and even pinch ourselves to make sure it's not a dream. For this wide-awake feeling is a new one to all of us, we've been sleepirg’ beauties 0 long. But the Prince came with his magic wand and wafted visions of teas, luncheons, dinners and dances. We awoke with a jump and have been on the jump ever since. ¥ I've had just the sort of week that I like. The more the merrier, for society in somber hue pleases not mine eve. If Dame Soclety g to hold me captive she must not dangle me at the silken end of indolence. 1 want to be dragged hither- thither, helter-skelter, hurry-flw'ry from one amusement to another. I cannot complain of this week. The cup of enjoyment was full to overflowing. It has been anything but “early to bed” or “early to rise,” and the result is a thinness that is no- longer ethereal but absolutely painful. The first part of the week I spent in Sausalito. There were eighteen of us, and we had Mrs. Gregory's house. Mrs. Leon- ard Evergit chaperoned us—you probably remember her as Mabel Estec. We stayed two days and wished we could lengthten it out a week. Grace Shain was the life of the party. She is her old jolly self now that her mother is well again. She played on the and the boys declared ‘hat they s I off a lung.’” I can vouch that ol Y. ey. 1 came home from Sausalito exhausted, but_summoned up enough strength to go to Mrs. Crocker's dinner on Wednesday honor of Mr. evening. It was given In and Mrs. Childs. There were very few tnere, but it was a very swell affair. | There was a London atmosphere about | it, don’t you know. After dinner we were entertained by talent engaged for the oc- casion. The talent really didn’t bother us any; we talked right through their numbers. That is, all excepting Signor at 1200 Larkin | was | Charles Soonnich- | de Vries' number. He sang so well that one almost wished he would go on for- ever—like the babbling brook. Thursday was the red-letter day of the week. In the afternoon I went to an in- formal affair at Mrs. Buckbee’s. The | house was simply but beautifully deco- | rated, and Mrs. Buckbee is always a charming hostess. The ests of honor | were Mrs. Allen, Miss Anderson and Miss | Merriam of Vancouver Barracks. | Miss Merriam {s the daughter of Gen- | eral Merriam, and has a very pleasing personality. = Everybody talked ‘“red, | white_and blue,” and we civillans quite e‘riwied the others their military knowl- edge. | Thursday evening we were invited to a | hop at the Presidio, but, as we had an- other engagement we declined. | We went to Mr. Greenway’'s dinner at | the Bohemian Club. There were about | thirty guests, and we dined to the soft | tinkling of a mandolin and guitar or- chestra. It was Mr. Greenway’s birth- day, and we all tried to guess his age. He had not invited any disagreeable peo- ple whose memories went back far | enough to really know, so we all stood an equal chance. We decided that he ls | really on the sunny side of 50, looks 30 and feels half-past 16. We did not go to | dinner until half-past 8, and we did net | 80_home until “plenty after 12.”” |~ Friday night the B8alisbury Cotillon | opened.” Mal went and said it was | a very pretty affair. Most of the girls were there, and they all say Olive Hol- brook led off beautifully with Edward | Sheldon. | "I dia not go myself. as T had accepted | an invitation to a theater party. Law- | rence Van Winkle was host, and Mrs. Miss Anderson, Miss Merriam, Frederick Greenwood and | Ned Greenway completed the party. Saturday was such a crammed, jammed | up day—like a merry-go-round. In _the | afternoon Mabel and I_helped Josie Loughborough to receive. It was a very, | very pretty affair, and Josle looked like |a rose. Gertie Carroll, Therese Morgan, | Ethel Keeney, Olive’ Holbrook, Susie Blanding and Kate Salisbury did ‘the act with us. We had constant bulletins of the happenings at the Cushlon tea, for a great many took in both. I threw prudence to the four winds, and subduing the inevitable tired feeling that follows a tea, I went to Mrs. de Young's In the evening. Some of the cushions were really exquisite. The tab- leaux were excellent. Mr. Houseman and Dick Hotaling arranged them. There were several acenes from the new Stan- ford calendar that were excellent. Car- rie Ayers, as the “little May field-girl,” easily carried off the honors. Gertie For- man_ looked the stunning ‘‘Thanksgiving as perfect as the “Good-by-Summer-Va on Igfirl," Adelaide Dibble, Marie Wells, Rosalind Bryant and India_ Scott posed for the other tableaux and did beautifully.

Everybody was s0 excited over the visiting ship that no attention was paid to Holden's sup- pressed eagerness and emotion. The proas were paddled out two miles toward the ship. Nearer than that none of the savages dared go. Several proas started back to the shore because the kanakas in them were afraid of capture. Holden vainly begged and en- treated the men with him to go nearsr the ship. But it was all that he could do to keep them from starting back for the shore. Finally he waved his hands, halloed and whistled with his fingers to draw attention from the ship. Twice the kanakas in the proa were ready to paddle back to the island and let the ship go, but Holden begged them to Will With a Balloon. Tr*j; figain to Reaek{the’ Nortb Pole walt and get gifts from the rich white men. , At last, after he had exhausted his lung power he saw a yawl let down from the ship’s davits. It came cau- tiously within a quarter of a mile of the proa, and Holden saw that the sail- ors had no idea they were looking at a white man, for his hair and whiskers were then like Samson’s, and his flesh was as dark as his kanaka associates. As the yawl drew nearer Holden was | able to call in English to them, and he | says he almost swooned with delight to hear his own tongue spoken in reply. | None of the kanakas who sat open- | mouthed and wondering near him, un- | derstood a word of English. “Come nearer. I am a poor castaway sailor, and I want you to save me from these savages,” he shouted. “We don't want to be speared by those devils in the canoce with you,” one of the sailors returned. Holden urged the men to come nearer and make a sudden demonstration against the savages, so that he could | escape to the boat, but they did nm; want to risk their lives against poison- | ed spears; besides, all sailors knew -the | frightful fate of Captain Cook and his | crew on the shore of the Sandwich Is- | lands. The ship signaled the vawl to im- mediately return. Holden knew the signal. His heart beat fast and his| brain whirled. He realized that it was then or never. He was doomed to a lifetime of barbarism and slavery on a lonely island if he let another minute go unimproved. The kanakas were restless and had laid down their spears | and taken up their paddles to go back to shore. “For shouted. “Swim to us and we will,” was the sailors’ reply. “But look at thelr spears.” | “Dive and swim under water out of spear range.” | It was a desperate moment, but his decision was made as quick as a flash. | ““Hold up.

God's sake, save me!” he| the gunwale d his foot upon Holden ha 8 PO S ha of the proa, and in a tw plunged beneath the water. Several kanaka wildly hurled their spears af- ter him, but they were too excited to be accurate. Several others began pad- dling after him, but a gun fired at them from the rowboat terrified them so they dared not go nearer. Meanwhile Holden was still under water. The sallors stood up and watched for his appearance above the surface. The kanakas in the proa stodd gazing about with spears poised in their powerful right hands, ready to transfix the swimmer the second his head became visible. Still the white man was under water. The sailors were sure he had gone down to nis grave in the ocean. They had seen wonderful feats of submarine swim- ming, but never anything like this. At last, when Holden came up, he was out of range of the spearsmen. For a few minutes he paddled slowly about until he could breathe. Then he velled to the sailors in the rowboat. They pulled toward him, and he was hauled, exhausted and almost fainting. into the boat. The kanakas in the proa, seeing this, paddled swiftly to | shore. Half dead with excitement and ex- haustion, young Holden was carried on board the ship, which proved to be the Britannia, in the English merchant ger- vice. He was shorn of his locks and whiskers and soon became the pet of the forecastle. His stories of his ad- ventures on the strange island always had an audience. It was October 20, | 1834, that he was taken aboard the Britannia. It was the first calendar day or month he had known for five and a half years. He went to Lintin, China, on the Britannia. There he shipped for Cadiz, Spain, and from there to New York. He reached New Bedford early in the summer of 1885. The story of his adventures in the Sandwich Islands attracted attention from the great daily newspapers in New Yu.rk and Boston in those days, and Willlam Cullen Bryant wrote sev- | eral editorials in the Evening Post on the ploneer survivor of early Hawallan But he was too late. savagery.

The great captive balloon which will be constructed by Souvigny will be so varnished and finished inside and out that it will not lose over 1 per cent a day of gas, if as much. But he is calculating upon a daily loss'of 2 per cent, so as to be on the safe side. By lighten- ing the ballast the balloon can remain a great deal longer in the air, and Souvigny expects to stay up forty days. One unique feature of this balloon will be a smaller balloon in the interior, which is to preserve thé geometrical form of the balloon. No matter how unsatisfactorily the wind blows, the balloon will keep her shape. This will make it possible to employ a regular’ steering apparatus in which thé@re need be little allowance for deviation. It is hardly possible that if the right course be taken the ship will need to remain sixty days in the air, but the inventor claims that he can easily make her flvat as long as that. : Surrounding this big balloon will be twelve small bal- loons, which are to make up the loss of gas.

Souvigny, the French aeronaut, whose name is a synonym for aerial adventure, will start for the pole as soon as his great balloon, the Triumph, is completed. The failure of Andree, far from discourag- ing this aeronaut, has only stimulated his zeal, and he is preparing to win for France the palm reserved for him who is bold enough to reach the pole. M. Souvigny's project does not date from yesterday; it was concelved in 1893. In that year he proposed the build- ing of a balloon upon lines that were at once accepted by French scientists. Soon after there arose the Andree sen- sation, and it was decided to wait until the resuit of An- dree's trip had been seen.

Richard Rutherford, L The balloon which he will construct is very similar to La France, built by Godard and Surcouf, although it dif- fers from it in certain essentials. It is a balloon.in which a man might live forever, only coming to earth when he wanted food which could not be killed in the air. The balloon will cube 11,000 meters and its circumfer- ence will be 86 meters. It will be inflated with pure hydro- gen gas and it will have a lifting power of 12,000 kilo- grams, or 24,000 pounds. The 12,000 kilograms will be rep- resented by the weight of the balloon and the weight of the crew, and also the provisions, the baggage, the en- gines for making gas and the ballast, which will be very heavy. & ‘When Andree’ went up he took no gas-generator with him, as he would not need it. He expected to return the next day, or as he expressed it, “‘three days at the most.” He expected that he would reach the pole in twelve hours. 1t was all very simple, but he reckoned without the wind. Our local authority, Stephens, the balloon ascensionist, predicted at the time that Andree would never return, at- tributing the fact wholly to the lack of a gas generator.

There will be five in the crew besides the aeronaut. These will consist of two second aeronauts, one chemical meteorologist, one explorer who has navigated the polar seas and knows his way from experience and one phy- siclan who also knows his way in the polar seas. The two latter will be appointed by one of the Ministers of Marine. The money necessary for the building and equipping of the ballcon will be 500,000 francs or $100,000. .This sum is considered small for such a glorious work. His Mejesty, King Oscar, very gladly gave Andree this sum for his aerial adventure; and there are loyal Frenchmen willing to give as much as that to place the crown of glory upon the head of one of their country. Souvigny fears delay owing to the slowness of the build- ers. He dreads the long time which must elapse before his balloon can go up. He is eager to start, but his friends console him by the thought that it would be more glorious to wait until the Paris Exposition, when he could return in triumph with the exposition at its height, and label the trleu.ltv airship with the words, “Returned from the north pole . % ., Fifty-first lowa; Frank C.
