Doubtless yoting Mr. BrewBter
will tell the story in detail soon
in respouse to some enterprising
magazine editor’s liberal cheque.
Meanwhile the public must rest
satisfied with the meagre accounts
contained in a Honolulu dispatch.
It seems that the hero went from
Isfew Jersey to Hawaii three
months ago, that he met Miss
Afong at a dance in Honolulu a
month ago, and that they were
married within three weeks. But
the heart of the fair creature, to
gether with “the blocks of Hawai
ian sugar stocks that went with
it,” was won iu half an hour by
the olook. “They were introduc
ed,” says the all too brief dis-
; “they danoed together,
and within a few moments were
chatting on the tropical' roof-
garden of the hotel. The dark
beauty of the tropical belle prov
ed too bewitohiug for the reserve
of the son of New England. He
lost liis heart. At 9:00 o’clock
that night he was presented to
her. At 9:80 they had retired to
the roof garden, and at 10:05
o’clock he had declared his love
for her, asked her to become his
wife and entered the ball room
as the affianced lover of the heir
ess,”
All of which shows that there
is nothing like plenty of “sugar
stocks” to give sweet zest to a
courtship and hastep matrimony.
At the same time, nothing is more
evident than that James Brewster, .
aged 22, is a taking young, fellow.
For, as she was an heiress, it was
1 h fi i>af,
■
of course not Miss Afong’s first
opportunity to take such a leap
in the dark. Let us hope th
will not have reason to repent.
