girls to remember that the bachelors

hearts for the visitors. He referred
to the fact that Mrs. Weatherred had
been spoken Of as woman who
should be kept here in Honolulu to
promote interest in the islands. He
was the only bachelor ex-commodore
in the club, and he felt that Ut was
his pleasant duty to endeavor to keep
the lady here.

Inerny and Commodore Hebron also
made short addresses in happy vein.

presented with a bottle of Hawaiian
vanilla extract, the product being the

dore then called upon Mr.. McInerny to
