\The reception rendered last evening
at Oahu College by the trustees of that
institution for Mrs. Susan l.. Mills, was
in many ways a most memorable one.
Hundreds of citizens took advantage of
the opportunity of meeting the woman
whose name will always be an inspira
ton in educational circles in Homo
lulu, as it must needs be also in Cali
coast. Many Oh the women and men
present, now on the sunset side of life,
ascribe much of their success to the in
spring influence of the woman who
forty years ago endowed Oahu College
with some of the unstinted service
of some of the best years of her life.
In the receiving line with Mrs.
Mills in the large assembly hall of the
fiths, Prof. and Mrs. Alexander, Judge
and Mrs. Dole, and others. The eighty
six yeads of useful life have dealt
lightly with a noble woman, and with
memory unimpaired, the guest of the
evening greeted with i'll concealed
emotion and perfect recognition the
many of her pupils of olden days
After the first rush of guests had
subsidized, a very pleasant hour was
spent with informal addresses and
music. Among those who spoke of
early school days in the islands were
Judge Dole and w. R. Castle, while
Mrs. Mills also recalled many old me-
mories to her hearers in "reminiscences.
Mr.. Hastings, Mrs. ingalls,, Miss Ger
trude Brown, and the Waimapuna
Glee Club, also entertained the audi
ence with delightful musical selec-
tions.
The hall was beautifully decorated
with greens and flowers for the occa-
sion and for many of the older guests,
at least, the scene and associations of
the evening will remain with them to
the end Of the span.

AS a farewell to Miss Josephine
Waltz who will return to San Fran
cisco in a few days after a visit of
some weeks with relatives in Homo
lulu, little outing has been arrang
ed for tomorrow. The affair will be
a tallyho party, and the objective point
is MaRapuu Pointer as near that
place as it is eXpedient to get with
vehicle. 1t is understood that the
new road from Koko Head to the
Point, which is being built by the
Federal government for the purpose of
getting materials for the proposed
light on Makapuu to the site, is now
passable for the greater part of the
distance. There will be "a in the
party and a royal good time is an
ticipated.
Mrs. Susan l.. Mills was the guest
of honor at a representative gathering
of Honolulu women at the home of
Mrs. c. H. Klugel at Punahou on
Thursday afternoon. Almost all pre-
sent had at one time been Mills Sem
mary girls, and the affair was there
fore in the nature of a reunion. With
her keen and unimpaired intellect Mrs.
Mills charmed everybody with her
vigorous talk in which she urged her
hearers not to be content to allow
the world to outstrip them in pro-
gress.
Before the gathering broke up the
suggestion of forming a Mills Club"
of the numerous members of the Mills
Seminary Alumni members, had been
enthusiastically endorsed, and com
mittee appointed to outline the scope
of such an organization, which shall
have for its object the self improve
ment of it's members.
The afternoons pleasure was en-
HANGED by a number of beautifully ex-
ecuted piano selections by Miss Whit
ing, which were received with great
pleasure by all. The guests were
treated to dainty refreshments during
the afternoon.

1t is said that Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth are to visit California
again this summer. They have plan
ned visit to Alaska and may sail
from Sar Francisco in July. Mrs.
Longworth retains all the dash and
charm that made her so popular as
Alice Roosevelt, but one nears less of
her since her marriage. The Long
worths spend much time at their es-
tate near Cincinnati. Should they
come to San Francisco there will prob
