With every dollar of debt paid, the
Kaiulani Home for Girls opened its
doors yesterday for an invitational re-
ception to those interested. The prem
ises and handsome new building cost
$31. 900 and not a cent remains unpaid,
due to the generous donations of phil
anthropic people both of the Hawaiian
Islands and the mainland. The Home
is built on the old Cooke premises on
King street opposite the Castle Kin
dergarten, and is an attractive-look-
ing building surrounded by beautiful
lawns and shrubbery. The spacious IN
ternor. cut into large rooms for par
lors. diningroom and sittingroom, with
goodly halls is finished in natural
wood. 1t is simply furnished, put
pleasantly so, and throughout it Is
home-like, and with Mrs. S. D. Heapy
in charge it is like happy home gov
erned by a much-loved mother. Mrs.
Heapy was the prime mover in getting
such an institution established, and it
is largely due to her that the donations
were so freely given. She is assisted
in the management by her daughter,
Mrs. Stafford Heapy.
At the reception Mrs. Heapy was as
sisted by Mrs. George r. Carter, Mrs.
Fred Macfarlane, Mrs. w. F. Frear and
Mrs Du Roi and Miss Pope. The young
ladies of the Home. were dressed IN
white and also wore rosettes of yellow
and white, the Home colors. The Wis
itors were conducted through the Home
and grounds and afterwards had some
dainty refreshments. Governor car
ter, who was there, expressed himself
as more than pleased with the splendid
equipment.
The building is almost square, and
two stories in height, with several en-
iea off a I
a large reception hall and a very large
drawingroom. Opposite is a big dining
hall and commodious quarters for the
kitchen and pantry and storeroom.
There is also a general sittingroom,
where piano and sewing machines in
vite pleasure and industry.
A broad staircase leads to the second
story, where the rooms of the young
ladies are located. There are accom-
modations for 46 persons, generally
with two to a room. Each room is
provided with two beds, two bureaus
and several chairs, and clothes closet.
Electric lights are numerous through
out the house. There is also a hospital,
comprising a room with three cots,
bathroom and a medicine room.
The grounds comprise 5-S acres and
are beautifully laid out. There is an
out-of-doors swimming tank.
The Kaiulanie Home for Girls was
started to afford a home to assist young
working girls and girls attending
schools at reasonable price, the
average rate being s12 per month. This
gives a girl room and her board. The
institution is now self-supporting.
The building was designed by Meri-
thew and is a fine example of his work.
