TflTC LEGISLATURE.
This legislature is the best one yet selected by the voters of
Hawaii. At least that is wbat is said of it. One special advantage
it has over its predecessors is Hint every member speaks and writes
the English language and can understand the needs and realize the
wishes of the whole taxpaying community. By this token it is able,
also, 1o dispense with translators

Much is expected of the

THE GEISHA GIRL.
Whatever may be true of Hawaiian native dance- and those who
have seen them own to quite definite ideas on that point the Geisha
dances do not deserve harsh criticism. Nor is the geisha herself an
object of just offence to moral people if she no more than represents
the objects of her class. She is not immoral per se, and we deem
it a pity if her self-respect has been so wounded by recent comment
that the patrons of the Kirmess should be deprived of the artistic
and decorous spectacle which she and her kind are able to supply.
Those who have seen a fine
delighted with its terpsichorean charm, the more so in proportion
with the success of the actresses in catching the real spirit of the
geisha dance. Visitors to Japan can see nothing more artistic, insofar
as the poetry of motion is concerned, than the geisha dances at the
cnerry oiossom lestivais; and the same is true of the dances given
at purely private entertainments. The girls are carefully chaperoned;
they dance in full costume, without permitting the visual liberties
taken at any fashionable American ball; they simply take artistic
poses in their kimonos to the music of the samisen, more to reveal
Deautnui lanrics than to accent the graces of the person. It is the
opinion of the average decent man who lias seen geisha dances in
Japan that he would make a mistake, if he went again, not to take
uis iamny wita mm.
True, some geislia girls are bad. So are some American dancers,
some musicians and some artists. Rut we must not hold art account-
able for that. And if one says that geisha dances are not fit to be
seen, because here and there is immorality among those who give
mum, we mignt as justly say the
the Virginia reel.
