ART LOAN
AGAIN TODAY
This Afternoon the Fine
Exhibit Will Be
Open.

Owing to requests the Art Loan Elk
hibit will be continued today.
The exhibit, which is in the Levers
& Cooke building, on King street, will
be open from p m. to 10 p. m.
There was talk also of keeping it
open on Sunday, but this plan met with
objection on the ground that it might
open the way for other exhibitions
which were not strictly in line with a
charitable enterprise, such as the Art
Loan Exhibit represents, and there
fore the idea was abandoned.
| Another objection which has been
made. that the price of admission
| 10 cents-is too high, is met with the
| following sound logic:
Suppose those who are keeping the
Free Kindergartens and Aid Society
going had gone about with subscrlp-
| ton lists, nobody whould have thought
of putting their names down for less
than ST. and many would put them
| selves down for S. and others for $40,
| S25. $50 and $500 even. But we did not
do that We decide to give them an
equivalent for their money, ana SO
have collected this really marvellous ex-
hibition of heirlooms and historical
rarities in and about Honolulu, which
money can not replace if they should
| be lost They are SO rare, in fact, that
we have had to take out nedVy III
surance on them"
| So that reasoning breaks down the
objection that Is cents is too high.
| Today there will be no vaudeville en-
| +artainuent Light refreshments ice
| cream and cake, will be served down.
| stairs and the Art Loan exhibit, up
| stairs will, of course, be the main at
| traction. People are surprised to ind
| there so much that is interesting ana
historical and of value in early Amer
lean, European and Hawaiian history
| There is still another thing which
makes the exhibit attractive, and that
is the number of handsome matrons
and pretty girls who are in attendance
and aiding this noble cause of charity
and education-the free kindergartens'
