The Italian woman has not yet taken

is generally handsome, rarely bad in

by no means a very strict moralist. At
home she rules; outside she exerts no
influence Whatetf. The political wom

A JEALOUS WIFE.
Whjf Sho NeVer DOubts Her Hues
band's Love.
"I wouldn't marry her, if I were
you!"
That was the gist of his friend's
counsel, spoken w implied. They all
udmitted her graces, of person, heart
and iniud. Hut the undeniable fact of
her jealousy remained.
"A jealous woman," hisaunt assured
him, "can make any man miserable."
"A jealous wife," declared his near
est friend, will make you wish you had
taken my advice, which Is thai tho
immortal Weller gavo to his son.
'Don't marry vldder,' he suid. 'Go
hang yourself first, an you'll bo glad
on it arterwardl I am presumptuous
enough to paraphrase that: '(Jo hang
yourself before you marry a jealous
woman, and you'll be glad ou It arter
ward!' "
Hut Harold Groves had only laughed.
When was a mau or a woman in love
evor apt to listen to anything so disa
greeable as common sene? And ho
was in love, honestly, sluoeroly and
passiouately. So lie married Noriue
Hale, and was most ridiculously hap
py for two years. Their life whether
was simply ideal, His few' faulte he.
corrected. If fault she had, thay re
mained undiscovered by uim. One day
he summoned courage to tell her tho
remarks tlmt had been made concern
ing her jealous disposition.
bUe looked up at him with grave,
shining eves.
Ahd it may be he would never have
discoverel at all that Sarins , 1'u
os if it veru not for the burglary.
Harold Droves was a lawyer, lie
traasacled mueb of his buteine at
home, and had It!" hi study a larjfe
desk, iu which ho kept paper of im
portance, tiuu ami memoranda re
lating to the affairs of hiscUenU. The
desk looketl sadly untidy, and, in the
opinion of Norine, was a daeidod blot
in tho exquUitely neat little room,
where some of their pleasuntest hours
were spent.
"Harold," she said to hiiu one evert
Ing, as she leaned over his chair, and
smoothed back hie dark look caret
ingly with her pretty white ringers,
"1 really shall tidy up that desk one of
theae days. The litterof dusty apV
books and pipe is poetiveJv diMrrace
ful."
He gavo her a glanec of alarm.
"Don't for mercy's sake, dearest! I
know now whore to put mv hand on
every Hiiufr I want ou'il"
Hut the fear that she might do so in
duced him to lock his dealt, and keep
it locked thereafter. Norine noticed
it and laughed.
"At least you have shut the disorder
out of sight," atho avowed, gayly. 'My
threat was efficacious to that extent.
Indeed, dear, how you can ever tell
one of those Hresomo documents of
yours from another, is a mystery to
me."
A certain blue, starlit March night
they went upstairs, leaving the oozy
apartment in dainty order. During
the night Norine was awakened by
whatsoundod like a click. She sat
bolt uprig.. tin bed.
"Hark!" she breathed. "Listen,
Harold."
Ilotli listened iiUtptJy.,
"It is a vory cold ight," he saldj at
length. "You merely heard the frost
cracking on the window pane. Go to
sleep, love."
Keassured, she did as bidden, but. on
bolng aroused early by the servant's
cry of dismay, she hastened down to
find the lowor rooms in a state of ex
treme confusion. .Drawers had been
pulled out, the desk of the master
forced open, and papers woro soot
tcred broadcast in an evident search
for valuables.
"My ruby ring!" cried Mrs. Groves.
"I lofSit on the mantel lagt night. And
my watch was in tho Chinese cabinet
where I put my pocketbook. Send
for the police, Harold! They have all
been stolen!"
"I shall go," cried Groves.
And he sorted oil on a run.
For boveral minutes Norine stood
btaringaround ,, bewilderment. Then,
mechanically, she began to arrange
flio disordered npartment. She picked
up tho piecosof a shattered vase, threw
them in the grate, straightened a
twisted drapery, lifted so.nc scattered
sheets of paper, laid them on tho leaf
of her husband's, forced desk, aiid sud
denly retreated a step, turning vory
white. Open before her, having evi
dently been wrenched wide in fhc
hope of finding, money, was a square
morocco box. Hi tho box was a bundle
of letters, and a photograph. The let
tcrs were in a woman's hand, and tho
smiling, pictured face, was that of
Norine's dearest friend.
Sho held tigljt to a chair-back, to
keep from falling Her temples
throbbed. A hot flush drove the pal
lor from her cheeks. Tiio'bjuzz in her
earn was deafening. Sho ptit out her
hand, took up ono of tho Jotters, read
it through. It was jut such a love
letter as any refined, affectionate girl
might have written. It began "My
Dourest," and ended "Your loving
Annie." It bore tho date of tho year
previous to Noriuo's marriage. Sho
took up auother folded- sheet, opened,
glanced through It, A'briofrsad little
note it was.
"My dear.' it ran, "fato has been hard to on.
It h good -by wo must nay wo who loo each
other KO" Hut not Rood-hy forever. Wo must
lteop on l)i;l!evlui? ta each other, and hoping
for ultimate happiness together. It shall uro
lycomtj. Your draolato ( AHHlE."
Harkf There were footsteps voices!
The young wife hastily replaced the
letters, drew back from the desk. Tho
next instant Harold, accompanied ljy
poHcemcn and detectives, was in the
room. He wont directly to Norine.
"My lovot" ho bald, "what a shoelc
fills has given you! You arc wlillo a"s
a ghost "
Sho thni&t his gnnll6 lianA (Vway.
"I am very well," she said.
And nit the time sho was going over
and over in her mind tho details of her
husband's acquaintance with Annie
Hubbard, ltd had known her from
phildhood long boforo ho mot Norine,
Sho recollected his tolling her they
had gone to dancing school together;
but she had never dreamed that ho
was in lovo with Annie, or sho With
him. Now she knew that it was so,
since he trensured her letters, her
picture, Sho Understood why he had
locked his desk. He had married her
for her money -loving Annie Hubbard
all the time. That fact was patent
and plain.
All day long sho wcnl around like e.
woman in a dream. Sho was very
pale, and her lips were rigidly set.
Her changed appearance and demeanor
liar husband attributed to tho fright
she had had. And the whole time o.iu
terrible thought was beating itself in
upon her brain. "Yon lovo them both.
You staud in their sunshine. Move out
of it!'-
Toward evening bho loft the house,
walked to a drug store, entered, askrd
for a certain powder, at once caressing
and deadly.
The clerk looked at her curiously
she fancied, as ho ga-e her tho package
and her chaugo.
Sho went home. Harold wns out
She sat down and Wrote him a few
lines.
"You accusod me bf bolng Jonlono," dho
wrote ' I don't think I tvn-I know I nm. I
bao road Annto'H Utters to you, If J had
dreamed before I married jou tnr.t you cared
for eoih other, I would hae done then what I
am ubout to do now."
It seemed a long tituo before tho
drug took effect, but at lust sho felt
the desired sense of unconsciousnoss
creeping upon her.
It was almost eleven o'ilook when
Il&rold, who hud been on a wild gnone
chase after tho burglars, reached his
own door. A voice out of the bhadows
spoke to him.
"Air. Groves, I've been waiting for
you. I'm Jim DInand."
"Oh, yes of course. Walt, and I'll
get this door open."
"No I only wish to speak to you a

When tho missionaries nrrlved at Ha
waii, March 30, 18:20, the condition of
woman was that of a slave. Sho could
dot eat cocoanuts. bananas, oranges or
fish, and ono of tho curious tabus, or in
terdictions, forbade her eating nuy kind
of food with men.
Queen Kaahumanu ecnt for tho now
king, Liholiho, who was engaged in a
drunken prgio out on the ocean in a
caneo, and urged him to throw down thq
idols in tho heaians, or temples, and to
clinch tho matter by eating in public
with a group of women who wero feast
ing by themselves at a littlo distanco
from tho royal abodo. Staggering over
to them, Liholiho, who was n very dif
ferent character from his famous father,
sat down and publicly ato somo of their
food. Tho cry went up, "Tho tabu is
broken.'
Tho torch was applied to tho idols, and
woman's emancipation began. Queen
Kaahumanu was a huge, heavy mortal)
and liko all tho chiefs she was proud and
cruel. At first sho treated tho mission
aries with disdain, offering only tho tir
of hor littlo linger in salutation, but she
becamo a zealous com ert and remained
to tho time of her uCalh, in 1832, at tho
ago of 68, a firm and conscientious ChrhT
tiau, beloved by thoso who intimately
knev her and nnivorsally respected for
her abilities. Sho had ruled as consort
of tho great conqueror, aa joint sovereign
with his son, Liholiho, and as regent dar
ing tho minority of Kauikeouli.
Kuntaulalu, tho queen of pleasure lov
ing Liholiho, was fond of display. On a
state occasion in 1823 sho was carried iu
procession, scute I in a whaleboat on a
frame of wicker work bonioon tho shoul
ders of 70 men,
Tho boat and platform, 80 feet long b'
13 feet wide, were covered With costly
broadcloth relieved by beautiful colored
tapas (native bark cloth). Tho queen's
dross was a scarlet silk mantlo and A
feather coronet. An immense Chinese
umbrella, richly gilded and decorated
with tussela and fringes of tho same
gaudy color, supported by a chief wear
ing a helmet, screened her from the fitui.
Chiefs held aloft kahilis, or royal
staffs, 30 feet high, the handles j.,m
rounded bj jdjfeSftVrVory and tVrtoiso
IAmIT "rings, beautifully wrought and
highly polished, tho tipier part being ar
ranged so as to funu n column or plume
of scarlet feathers of i feet iu diameter
and from 12 to 11 feet long. A moro
magnificent insignia of rank, convej-iuff
at once the ideas of grandeur, stato and
beauty, as they towered and gracefully
nodded above the multitude, was never
devised by barbntlaus.
Another royal lady, Kinau, who after
ward shared authority With Kamehame
ha III (Kanikeouli), her title being Kaa
humanu II, apiieared iu a scarlet pati, a
long piece of silk wound round tho bod"
and limbs, with two'iong streamers. Tho
pan is a vory graceful coetume, especial
ly when worn by a wahiue (native wo
man) on horseback, with the gayly col
oretl streamers siilont in the wind, the1
two dowager queens apiared in this
procession. One of them wore 72 yards
of cashmere of double width, one-half
being orange and the other half scarlot.
Tliis was wrapped tlmnt lipf fig&re till
her anils ware supported by the mass in
a horizontal position, while tho remain
der, forming art extensive train, wag sup
ported by a retinuo selected for that pur
pose.
The richnoss and variety of the di esses
and colors, and the exhibition of tho
wealth and jx-wer of tho chiefs, their
hereditary symbols of rank, the stately,
kahihs, splendid cloaks and helmets, ancV
necklaces of feathers, intermingled with
tho brilliant hues nnd deep green of tho
flowers and wreaths from their nativo
forests, rendered tho spectaclo at onco
unique and attractive. Groups of siug
erg and dancers, to tho number of many
hundred, ever and nuon met tho proces;
si on, enthusiastically shouting their adu
lation in the willing ears of tho chiefs.
Queen Kainauialn aud Liholiho fnado
a voyage to London in 1823. Before tho
ship weighed anchor at Honolulu tho
queen chanted n farewell:
"O heaven! 0 earth! O mountainsl
O seat O my counselors and ray sub
ject, farewell!"
The royal travelors created a sensa.
tion in London. Queen Kamastalu ex
hibited herself In loose trousers and a
long bed gown of colored velveteen, but
Parisian modistes 60on clothed tho ladies
in all tiio gear of fashion. Corsets for
tho first tirao encircled their amplo
waists, and the London ladies, in" theirj
rage for tho new lions, sought patterns of
tho turban that graced tho brow of tho
queen.
But, alas, tho royal pair caught thb
measles and dle$ in Loudon, poor chil
dren of nature that they were, far from
tho palm grovos and bosky bowers of
their nativo islesl Tho bodies, in lead
coffins framed in wood and covered with
crimson velvet, wero sent to Honolulu
in tho frigato Blonde in charge, of Lord
Byroii, a cousiu of tho poet. Qodey'a

A wicked story is told about two part
Sirs who respected each other's business
ability, but, who hated each cordially.
To ono of them camo a fairy saying that
ho could have any boon ho desired, and
whatever ho had his partner should haro
in doublo portion. Naturally his first
wish was for a barrel of money. "All
right," said tho fairy, "but your partner
will get two barrels on that wish?.?.
"Stop a little, '' said Jtho firat. "Perhaps
you'd better not" give mo a barrel of
inonoy. I'd rather you would make, mo
tojally blind in ono eye." New Orleans
