living in one room, chalk lines having been drawn in such a manner as to

mark out a quarter for each family.

“How do you get along here?” inquired the inspector.

“Very well,” was the reply. “Only the man in the farthest corner keeps

boarders.”

munching macaroons be deported to Waikiki Beach to indulge in the popular

Hawaiian pastime of poi-eating.
