in honor of their son Alexander Liho-
liho, who has recently attained his
majority, will be a large affair and
thoroughly Hawaiian. Several hundred
invitations are out, and as Mrs. DeFries
has been preparing for the event for
several weeks, a feast of large proper
tions will result.

The sale of woman's work to be held
on November 81 and % in the Elks'
Hall has a deeper motive than just the
sale alone. There are so many women
whose beautiful handiwork finds slow
sale and more often there is no oppor-
tunity for even the display of such
work. The executive committee in
charge of the arrangements have inter
ested themselves in the matter and
hope the women of the islands will re-
spond by sending their work to be sold
and this may be the outcome of a per-
manent Womans Exchange club where
yearly sales may be held. There is no
fee to be charged to those who give
supplies. The rules governing the ac-
ceptance of contributions may be had
y
the sale being open to women of all ma
tionalities. The ladies' presiding at the
different consulates, with Mrs. Dole,
Mrs. NJ NJ. Estee, Princess Kawanana-
koa and Princess Kalanianaole, have
been asked to act as patronesses. The
committee will accept any articles of
women's handiwork, needle work and
painting, in fact anything from art
tn MA in in o.
eatables. The sums taken in return go
to the persons whose articles are sold.
The sales is not given for any chart
table organization, and only a small
fee will be charged visitors to the sale,
to pay for advertising and other ex-
penses. Any surplus from this fund
will be made known to the public and
probably be used to establish a per-
manent exchange club for women where
they may always have a place for the
sale of their handiwork.

THE DEMAND FOR COAL

Most of the coal dealers in town closed
their offices yesterday after delivering what
ever coal they had on hand. The severity
of the present cold snap melted many people
supply of coal, and the dealers were be-
sieged by constant stream of people who
desired to be supplied. Being unable to
deliver either hard or soft coal yesterday
afternoon the dealers closed their Offices.
A prominent dealer said yesterday that fol-
lowing the present cold snap a goodly sup
ply of coal Is expected. He said that there
will not be enough to supply anything like
a full demand for the coal bins, but enough
would come to relieve most cases.

Miss Ola Humphrey, vino plays Fla
Wis in Shipman Brothers production of
THE Prisoner of Zenda," booked at the
Grand Opera House tomorrow, Friday
and Saturday nights and Saturday mat
inee, has been playing leading roles
most of the time during her six years
stage career, which she is carrying out
with such marked success. Nature has
been most kind to this artist, for she is
young woman of great attractlveness
and very engaging personality. In adj
dition, as those who are familiar with
her work know, she is a most excellent
actress. Her emotional work in partic-
ular is sincere and striking, though she
is unusually versatile and has played
widely diverging parts. Her first real
acquaintance with stage methods was
made at the Emerson College of Ora
tory at Boston. Since then she has ap-
peared with such celebrities as May
Irwin, making her first big success as
Kate Kerwin in THE Girl Left Be-
hind Me-" Success encouraged success
and Miss Humphrey steadily advanced.
AS Flavia in THE Prisoner of Zenda''
she has possibly been given the best
chance for the portrayal of her wonder
full artistic ability. This is another
high-class attraction at popular prices.

BEFORENa,
Mssssas

long before-right
N0w, in fact, is the time
to settle upon just what
you're going to tell us to
box up and send off.
An order given nOD,
with full particulars as to
shipping, ETC., allows us
ample time to give it the
attention it deserves
and leaves you with the
comfortable feeling of one
item less to be carried on
your Christmas list.
Of course we are glad
of your orders at any time,
the eleventh hour not ex-
copied, still it's up to you
not to forget that a box of
Christmas goodies a
case of Wine, a box of
Cigars or any package of
a Holiday nature, really
ought to reach its destina-
ton about Christmas
morning-not the day
after. We can easily in
sure this-but not without
your cooperation in the
shape of early orders.
We work nights before
Christmas-after the cur
tains are drawn. 1t gives
us a chance to fill orders
with intelligence and
accuracy, check them
carefully and attend to
detail in peace and quiet
all of which is practi-
callyimpossible, even with
the most careful store
management, during the
stress of the last few days
before the twenty-ffth.
And this year, more so
than ever before in our
sixty years of business,
when all signs are pointing
to an increase in our kind
of Gifts, sensible gifts for
Christmas, I'VE wish to
make the plea Tor carry
orders more emphatic
than ever.
