The motion to have the Chair APP
point an executive committee of five
and a finance committee Of three was
carried
The Chair called for suggestions
for the entertainment of the party.
Parker said it would be a good idea
to let the people from Maui and Ka-
uai come to see the visitors in Homo
lulu instead of having them go to
their Islands, where there was moth
ing much to see. These visitors came
to have good time ana not to be
rushed to death on steamers.
McCandless said that these mat
tcrs should be arranged by the COM
mittees, who could meet every day,
while the visitors were in town, and
could get their own views on these
matters. Hawaii was now having a
Grand opportunity and all personal
feeling and petty spite should be set
aside.
Chillingworth wanted to know if
the other Islands had not already
been asked to arrange to receive the
visitors.
Peck answered that the other ISL
ands were attended to by the general
committee.
Chillingworth said that the local
committee had nothing to say about
the trips to the other Islands. 1t was
therefore a waste of time to discuss
them.
Atkinson said il had been suggest
ed to meet the visitors on their arriv-
al with leis and music on board the
lroquois. Two days rest should be
given, then, on the 10th, the Gov
crnor's public reception would give
the people chance to meet the Con-
sressmen.
The trips to the other Islands had
been arranged according to the sug-
gestions of the Island committees. He
described these trips as outlined.
ChillingWOrth suggested that these
trips were rather strenuous. Gift
fard said the same.
Atkinson answered that the other
ISLANDS had as much right to enter
tain the visitors as Oahu. He did
not believe that all the visitors would
take these trips. 1t was important
that they be shown other things than
Eva and Puunene.
Admiral Beckley wanted detailed
information about the part the Kinau
was to take in the trip. He was
told.
The Delegate said he thought the
Kauai trip was a waste of time, but
It would be hard to get out of having
it. However, the Kauai people
might be induced to forego it.
Giffard said he doubted that many
of the Congressman would wish to
so to either Maui or Kauai
Lane said that he had introduced
in the Legislature the resolution ap-
ErOpriating the $4,000 for the en-
tertaiament. The members from the
other Islands had voted for the reso-
luton with the express understand
ing that the visitors should be taken
to Kauai, Hawaii and Maui. These
trips could not be omitted without

to make the money go far enough
However, if anything should be left
after paying the hotel bills, this
could be spent on entertainment
Judge Dole asked if it was desired
t. have householders entertain the
visitors. Atkinson answered that he
had had several offers of this kind
However, the guests should have the
they so preferred. 1t would be a
aood thing if owners of rigs and au-
tos would offer their services to take
the visitors about.
Peck said there would be from Sc
to 81 to spend a head per day. This
should be sufficient. He thought it
would be a good plan to appoint
finance committee, as it would un-
Goubtedly be necessary to raise some
more funds.
Smit moved that the Chair appoint
an executive committee of twelve
members to look after the details of
the entertainment and a finance COM
mittee of three. This carried
Judge Dole suggested that the ex-
ecutiye committee was too large. He
moved to reconsider. Carried. He
then moved to limit the committee to
five members.
Smithe explained that if the com
mittee was large it could be divided
into srbcommittees on transportation,
hotels and entertainment. There
should be some members of the Leg
islature on it to make it representa-
tive.
McCandless favored having a small
executive committee, to which vari-
Gus minor committees, to be appoint
ed, could report.
Smit with drew his motion.
Dole said the idea of having sub
committees was a good one. The APP
Eontment thereof could be left to
the executive committee.
Sam Parker said that there was no
time to waste. He thought that ar
rangements should be made right
away instead of leaving them to
committees, whereby time was vast
cd. He thought that there was some
objections to the plan already adopt
ed AS it was, the visitors would be
spending half their time on the
steamers, which they would not like.
Atkinson said Honolulu was not
the only place in Hawaii.
let us give them good time in
Honolulu" said Parker, instead of
Swing them these rushing trips,
which will only tire them out"
Harvey said he doubted that the
Visitors, especially the ladies, would
take he trips.
Dole remarked that they would
have their say-sos when they arriv-
ed.
Delegate Kalanianaole thought the
committees should be appointed forth
with. He also believed in having an
executive committee of twelve.
McCandless said the executive COM
mittee of five could pick its sub
committees Immediately after its
election.

Lane said the Honolulu committee
had no right to decide as to what per-
tanned to the other Islands. The
plan outlined by the general commit
tee covered that.

Belt for Old Gloves,

Every girl finds in her possession
one or more pairs of discarded long
gloves. Pretty and durable suede
belts can be made from the same by
simply ripping up the seam and cut
ting off the hand. The glove is then
the right shape for the belt when
opened out and two pieces Joined in
the center. Line the glove with silk
cut on the bias, turn over the edges
and stitch on the machine. Also
stitch the back and finish with three
gold bosses or fiat buttons covered
with kid cut from the hands of the
gloves. Another way of finishing is to
tie the kid in three or four small bows.
For the front use pearl buckle or
a small steel one covered with the
feather.
