dry spell, the weather has broken up
much to the relief of plantation man
ayers. Copious showers have fallen in
termittently during the past ten days
Quite an exodus of school marms will
take place this year, at vacation time
I understand many will not return
Rumor says some are going to seek
fresh fields and pastures new, whilst
others will undertake that fatal cure
for the disease called love, viz, mar
riage.
On Kamehameha Day we experienced
two sharp shocks of earthquake. The
first, long, low, rumbling one, oc-
Cured at about 3:45 a. M, followed
| by a second short and decidedly sharp
jolt, at two minutes past four.
Our local police have been distin-
gushing themselves. Last week, ar
rayed in artistic disguise, they accom-
plished two successful raids and land
ed some nineteen votaries Of Dame
Chance
Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather, large and representative
gathering assembled at the Social Hall,
last Saturday evening, to witness a
performance given under the auspices
of the Kohala Dramatic Club.
The program opened with ''The
Honeymoon, in which Miss Paulsell
made captivating, Mrs. Honeyton and,
supported by Mr.. Templeton as Mr..
Honeyton, gave an excellent represen-
tation of this time honored play.
A vocal solo, "Spring's Awakening,
sang by Miss Lamb, elected warm
praise from delighted audience, which
was gracefully responded to in the
rendition of "The Nightingale.
This young lady is the possessor of
a powerful and talented voice and it
is to be regretted that she is not heard
in public more often.
The trio "Sing, Smile, Slumber,"
rendered by Mesdames Gum, Hind and
Renton, was given with excellent uni
formity, showing careful study, COM
bined with a welI-balanced timbre. 1t
was deservedly encored.
A vocal solo by E. G. Vaughan was
pleasingly given, but we have heard
this gentleman to better advantage in
more carefully selected songs.
The piece de resistance of the even
ing, however, came with the production
of the gay and festive comedy, "Betsy |
Baker" A. Mason as Mouser, L. C.
Paetow as Grumpy, with Mrs. II. r..
Bryant and Miss Lucy Woods as Mrs.
Mouser and Betsy Baker, respec-
lively, made up strong cast. Charity
covers multitude of amateur thea
trieal performances as a rule on ac-
count of the delays, dragging of parts,
and the frequency of the prompter s
voice, but this was an exception to
the general rule From start to finish
the piece went with the life and vim,
one sees with the regular Thespian. Mr..
Mason, as Mouser, especially. displayed
the handiwork of an old hand before
the footlights, and, being ably sup
ported by the above-named ladies and
gentleman, brought to a close most
enjoyable and artistieally successful
performance
The third commencement of the Ko-
hala Girls School took place at the
