Through the efforts of the house committee, Mrs. Robert H.

Mrs. Henderson then introduced the speaker in a few well-chosen remarks. From the day of a raging bliz zard in Chicago when the llrst sug gestion came to Mrs. Titus to visit the Hawaiian Islands, she led her audience step by step into the lives and characters of the little' brown people she had come to know and love so well. "They met us at the steamer, upon our arrival, with their charm ing "Aloa!" (my love to you) an'd it never failed us in the whole two years of our residence there," she said. "As we drove up the main ave nue I had my first glimpse of the native women sitting upon the ground the endless "lels" or boas of flower petals. In Hawaii when one has a birthday or gives a formal dinner or has a funeral or does any of their things that we associate with boquets and baskets of flowers, these leis are used, M Hawaiian may be barefooted, he may have no hat and his clothes be ragged and torn bue he has money for a lei If it be a fete-day or a Sunday. Simplified Housekeeping "Housekeeping In the Philippines is simplified to the last degree through the employment of Chinese help. These "China-boys", be they 17 or 70, are as imitative as mon keys and are as capable as they are honest and reliable. They take over the housekeeping budget and do all the buying and planning of the menus even for the formal din ner parties. "The dress problem is another of America's burdens which is swept away in this land "of flowers and ro mance. The native Hawaiian wom an, whatever her social station, wears some modification of the "lioloku"; satin and chiffon for the attendant of the palace balls, cheap cotton material for the daily tasks of her humbler sister. This gar ment is always made on the lines of the American "mother-hubbard", full, easy and straight with no com plication. "There was grief in the hearts of the brown race when the little Pa cific Islands were annexed by Uncle Sam. It meant the end of the an cient monarchy whose kings? and queens had been simple-minded peo ple anxious to do their best by their subjects and whose history and folk lore dated far, far back. The day their flag was lowered and tlie Stars and Stripes raised in its place, the grounds of the palace were crowded The Foster Player Piano Made and Guaranteed bij Foster <Sc Co., Rochester, N. Y.

Mrs. Titus has made a detailed study of the folk songs of the Ha waiian people, visiting the timid pa tive women and encouraging them to tell her of their music and leg ends. Following her talk she sang a number of these selections In the soft vowel wording of the Hawaiian language, playing her own accom paniment, and she made an earn est plea that their music be kept sacred and individual and not be syncopated for the sake of commer cialism as has been done over much of late.

OFFICERS MAKE RAPID PROGRESS Men in Reserve Camp atMudi son Barracks Hounding Into Shape (By Special TELEGRAPH Cor respondent ) Madison Barracks, N. Y., May 20, —Fair and warmer, if not a fact, is at least the hope of 2,350 "candi dates" who Compose the fifteen com panies of infantry aiid engineers at the Reserve Officers Training Camp j here. The sun has deigned to come out several times in the past week but not in the good old-fashioned way, and the men have not yet had a chance to shake the office kinks out of their muscles. With the issue of ordnance, cloth ing and other equipment, and the] typhoid prophylaxis and smallpox j vaccination out of the way, the training regiment stationed at this) reservation is in a fair way to get really started this week. Within a week the members or the National Guard are expected to till up the companies lo full strength, but it is understood that the formal action necessary to release them from pres ent duty in order to attend the camp has not been taken. Making Rapid Progress In the meantime, however, the camp has not been marking time. Rapid progress is being made in the manual of arms and other regula tions, and camp sanitation, the keeping of company records, squad drills, physical exercises, etc., arc keeping all reserve officers and can didates on the jump. Orders from headquarters are gradually becom ing stricter and the organization of the camp is assuming a more mili | tary appearance as the days go by. Camps this summer differ from former Plattsburg camps in that the work is more thorough and com plete and naturally more serious. Every man is training himself and being trained by the regular army officers in order that he himself may be in a few short months do just what he observes his superiors doing now. It is the intention or Lieutenant Colonel Sample and the men associated with him at camp headquarters to give every man at camp an opportunity for actual ex perience in commanding squads, platoons, and the companies so that the twenty-five or thirty per cent who are chosen to train the first army of men called out by the draft bill will be as carefully and success fully qualified to handle the posi tions that they will assume as Is de manded by military exigency. Act as Instructors The reserve officers at camp are acting as assistant instructors to the regular army officers detailed here for special duty, and new commis sions are constantly being received by men who came to camp before they had been informed of the result of their examinations. There are now several hundred of them in camp here. At the end of the first month it Is understood that the men will be separated according as they are specially fitted for artillery, cavalry, infantry, engineers, signal corps, quartermaster, supply, and all the other branches of the service. In the meantime all are working under the same schedule, getting the fundamentals down pat and prepar ing for the more advanced work tliafr will come in June.
