to carry our race onward toward
a nobler social ideal. I say to all
whom I love and who are in danger
of becoming wealthy, 'Do not,
oh ! do not, be too fashionable.' "

A home for those who have
withdrawn from the activities of
life and care no longer to plan for
public affairs or take a leading
interest in things in general, but
who wish to spend their remaining
years in quiet and peace and
comfort is no longer a home to be
dreamed of or talked of but it is
now in Honolulu one in reality.
The King's Daughters' Circle,
of which Mrs. W L. Hopper is
the president, has undertaken "In
His Name," to establish this
home. They see the great need
of such a place where these dear
ones who have borne the brunt
and heat of the day, who have
toiled faithfully and long and lovingly
all through their lives to
make the world better, who have
sacrificed so much in order to uplift
humanity should be tenderly
and lovingly cared for the remaining
years of their lives.
The home is situated on
street near Wilder avenue. It
is a small beginning, but they
hope in the near future to build a
place suitable for the work. The
King's Daughters' Circle is very
fortunate in being able to secure
Mrs. Berger, formerly manager
of the Associated Charities, to be
the manager. It is thought it will
be ready for occupancy July 15.
It is to be a "homey" home, where
those, perhaps weary and tired
and sick, may find rest and peace,
love, happiness and health.
The circle believes that, for
such a worthy cause, the money
will be forthcoming.
Any one desiring to help in this
good work may send any amount,
large or small, to the treasurer,

HOME IN THE DARK.
Night or day, I shall not care;
I will know when I get there.
Sun or shadow, shine or rain,
I will know the woodbine lane,
Know the right road by the thrill
And the heartbeat that will spring
At me where the loved lips sing.
Thunder rolling o'er my head,
Still on roses I will tread
THE HONOLULU TIMES
To the old place through the musk
Of the moon or of the dusk.
Not afraid to seek the mark
In the light or in the dark,
For there is no storm can blow
Hard enough I will not know.
Will not know? Why, I could see
Through ten thousand nights to
thee,
Old home, loved home, sweet old
place,
Where our wandering footsteps
trace
Back again in after years
Through the vales of dust and
tears
Paths, by dreams made glorious
still,
Down the glen and up the hill!

Allan Herbert, agent of the Hawaiian
Humane Society, has presented
the following report to the
president, Mrs. Sanford B. Dole.
Mr. Herbert says :
"To Our Friends : If you contemplate
donating by will to the
benevolent object of this society,
kindly remember that the corporate
title of the society is the
"Hawaiian Humane Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
and Animals."
The Cost to Become a Member.
"Annual membership (individual),
$1.
"Annual membership (corporation
or firm), $5.
"Life membership (individual),
$50.
"Life membership (corporation
or firm), 55100.
"Our office is at 1146 Alakea
street.
"The work being done merits
the support of a far greater membership
than is enrolled, and if
each member would secure the
membership of one friend, it
would mean a doubling of the so
ciety's income from dues, and so
aid a worthy charity, and would
assist a little band of reformers
working assiduously for the betterment
of the commonwealth.
"Bequests and increased
will assist us in accomplishing
a number of things.
"The society is conducting an
active and successful crusade
against every form of cruelty. It
receives no aid from the Territory
or city for its maintenance.
"Our officers are constantly on
the street, and in the course of
their work visit every portion of
the city, frequently preventing
much abuse where animals are
used and are likely to be abused.
San Francisco Work Horse
Parade.
"It was my good fortune to be
present at that great procession
of equine toilers that on last Admission
Day drew the attention of
the world to that city, and to its
thousands of handsome, well-kept
draft-animals. This idea was conceived
and fostered by the humane
society of that city, and but
for the society's support and its
activity the greatest parade of
work horses ever known would
not have been held."

MRS. FREAR IN NEW YORK.
Besides being one of the first
ladies of Honolulu, Mrs. Frear
has written a book of poems of
the "Cocoa Palm" and set them
to music. With her husband, she
is at the Holland House, where
she discoursed at some length on
the customs and habits of Hawaii,
which she believes constitute an
epitome of historical events.
Island Born and Bred.
Although a graduate of
College, Mrs. Frear was
born and raised in Honolulu,
where her ancestors settled. She
has lived through three successive
forms of government, and
through her patriotism and allegiance
to her native island has acquainted
herself with the lost arts,
religions and customs of its poetic
people.
"Unless one has lived among
them," Mrs. Frear explained in
her suite at the Holland House,
"one can not realize what a lovable,
sympathetic, sensitive people
the Ilawaiians are. The native
women are tall, athletic and
inclined to embonpoint due to the
climate, but they have not lost
their interest in political activities,
which with them is a characteristic
heritage.
"They are interested in club
work and suffrage, and not long
ago appealed to Congress for the
ballot.
"When denied the right to vote
they spiritedly refused to have
anything to do with the movement
for a straw ballot to determine
the sentiment of the Island
women.
