THE BOOTH CAPK.This curious specimen of more modern Hawaiian feather work is almost the onlyexample left on these islands of the use of green feathers for decoration of ahuula. Itbelongs to Mrs. C. W. Booth of Pauoa, Honolulu, and she traces it back to her grand-father Baker. Mrs. Booth has also a fine collection of lei and other remains of oldHawaii.

The semicircles are of crimson feathers of the apapane(Himatione sanguined), with a circumferential border of parrot-green feathers;
