Mrs. Bishops kindness to the little

The children of the Kamehameha
| School for girls would today on this
memorial day offer fair blossoms TO
the memory of Bernice Pauahi Bishop
The next number on the program
will long be Iemem bered by those
present. 1t was the flower exercise
of Crows by chorus OF ten girls
attired in white. Before they ascend
ed the platform a portrait of Bernice
| Pauahi Bishop was moved TO pro-
mInent position in the center The
girls then marched off two by two
aud distributed themselves five on
each side of the portrait. Around
their waists and necks were worn
sprays OF jassimine, loosely intertwin-
ed, and IN their hands were carried
red rose buds. All except the two
end girls wore pink ribbons IN their
| hair. These were given blue. The
girls as they stood for "a moment made
a most beautiful picture with their
| eyes 6ent on the portrait near them
and the flowers in their hands drOop-
ing carelessly in the same direction.
| The different movements Of the girls
as they performed various figures in
| the vicinity Of the portrait was accom-
panied by sweet singing, which lent
no small charm to the pleasing num-
| Der. Two of the girls, after obtaining
a wreath of roses, held that up back
of the portrait, while the remaining
eight marched under the arch thus
foI meu, and, advancing to the por.
trait, deposited flowers here and there
among the green's that surrounded
the frame. Then with true reverential
attitudes they kDelt in groups on
either side and held the remainder of
| flowers in such a manner as to form q
crescent around the lower part OF the
| portrait. AS fitting climax, one of
| the girls stepped forward after the
completion of this and delivered the
| following piece of poetry, written at
the time of the death of B, rnice Pau
ahi Bishop.
Long in our memories will thy virtues
live,
| Long in our breasts the thought of
| thee survive;
| Ill can we spare thee-none can take
thy place,
Thou, last and noblest of a noble race.
The Preparatory school chorus ren-
dered an lther song, which was fol-
lowed by an able address delivered by
Fred Beckley, president of the Alumni
Association. In it was pointed out the
benefits that have accrued from the
generous thoughts and donations OF
Kamehameba's benefactress. COM
ment was made on the duty OF the
students to her memory as well "a 10
themselves.
The program was closed b'I HPau--
