The address Of the president, was volumi-
nous and interesting document.
She tells us the story of the life Of the society
in such happy, charming way that we almost
forget the two discouragements which even
this most prosperous society met. The first
encouragement was trying TO make the clothes
large enough for the giant natives of Ponape
about which she says:
hal a a.. IL.
mostly stout and that we must not get the
articles too small. Too small wish YOU
could have seen them, for surely none but
nation Of giants could have worn the huge
sacks and voluminous shirt bands that went
down in our first box to Micronesia, There is
nothing like experience to teach wisdom"
The other discouragemen, was this they
made dozens Of articles Of clothing Of differ.
ent sizes for poor little mo,heress boy at
Apiang enough to last him two or three
years. She says eve took great pains with
them and felt justly proud Of our work, so ina
gineo our dismay when we afterwards learned that
the little boy never wore many Of them-the
pants, made as Honolulu boys wear them,
that land Of elaborate wardrobes.
Besides making clothing and patchwork
quilts for the heather, sending to Mrs. Rand,
their much loved missionary, such articles as
were needed, helping in any charitable object
that came under their notice, they have helped
in the following ways; in 1874 they assisted
the ''Lades Benevolent Society" by fancy
table at fair, netting $243; again in 1879
they helped in the same way in 1875 they
made their debut and realized $751;, ($2s Of
which was donated to the Y. NJ. c. A. in
recognition Of the timely aid given by its mem.
bers); in 1876 a fair gotten up by the wee
cleaners netted $50; in 1880 they held fair
and realized $I3o; in 1881 they netted S2I4
from fair; in 1883 they realized $500 from
an entertainment.
They support beneficiary at Kawaiahao
Seminary. They have helped poor little
blind girl and made her happy by securing
text books for the blind, so she has learned to
read. They pay So month for Hawaiian
bible'reader in Honolulu. In 1883 they made
Mrs. Rand their own mssicnery. In January
OF that year their first payment Of the 5000
year for her support was made. These are the
definite objects for which they work; but they
are always ready TO aid in any charity.
A society that does so much good should be
encouraged In every way, and this idea and
Others which supplement it are so we'll ex-
pressed in the conclusion of Mrs. Damons
49, 'Just as sure as the hrst Saturday IN
the month comes around--which is the regular
day for our meetings-just so sure does some
good mother or auntie, forgetting entirely the
meeting Of that day, plan picnic for Waikiki
or the woods, which always takes away more
or less Of members, and naturally their interes,
in the society and its work flags whereas,
il they could only attend regularly, and their
parents make it point to see that they do,
they will thus become intimately connected with
what transpires at each meeting, and will not
make any complaint Of want Of interest. To
dear mothers, auntes and older sisters, and l
might say as WE'LL fathers, uncles and big
brothers, please don't plan picnics, or anything
else distractng, for the first Saturday Of the
month. For such society should exert an
important influence upon our young people in
