League Notes

During the week D. Howard Hitch
cock returned from Kauai, where for a
month he has been sketchihg<fhe beau
tiful scenery of the sea beaehes and the
wonderful mountains of the Garden Is
land.
As soon as his family are ready, he
is going to return with his wife and
children and spend the rest of his va
cation, filing several orders received
from his Kauai admirers.
The Leagues president is in the best
of health and spirits and his work is
especially good in it's varied collection
of bits from sea to mountain top.
On Friday afternoon Mr.. Hitchcock
received about two score of his rela-
tives and friends at his studio on Mil
Ter street.
On Tuesday morning Mrs j. L. More
viii start her class in china painting.
Pupils will be given the privilege of
using the studio at all times, and
through the courtesy of the League
ladies a provision is being made for
buffet luncheon for those who wish to
spend entire days at work on their
china.
In the adjoining sa1esroom of the
League many pupils are preparing to
dispose Of some of their work and pay
for their lessons in this way. Mrs.
More has made ample provision for the
firing of all the work and, with every
thing so attractive and complete, there
will probably be quite large and en-
thusiastic class. From the beautiful
samples of her work now on exhibition
in the salesroom, she is sure to give
a great deal of satisfaction to those
seeking instruction.
The rehearsals of the Symphony So
ciety are being very well attended each
Friday evening in the League hall. At
present the work is on the program to
be given at their smoker next week.
It is to be greatly regretted that Mrs.
Mallory is shortly to leave the islands
on a long visit to the mainland. Her
work will be greatly missed at the
semi-annual exhibitions. 1t is hoped
that she will send from time to time a
picture or two from the scenes of her
travels.
that the only trouble with the Garden
shine Artist must be finding a new
charm in painting Hawaiian MYSTERY,
in spite of his protests.
On Wednesday evening DR.. Sinclair
will give the first demonstration in
photography before the Society of Pho
tographers, in the permanent exhibit
ton room adjoining the well-equipped
dark room just complied this week. The
club is growing in numbers and ladies
are soon to be admitted to member
ship, it being the desire of the associ-
alton to have the fair sex well repre-
sented in the club of camera lovers.
It was with great pride that the
League produced Miss A. Parke's
painting Of Captain Cooks monument
on the day that the Promotion Com
mittee published the article asking for
authentic pictures of this historical
spot. The picture is at present on ex-
hibition at the office of the Promotion
Committee pending advices from Aus
tralia. Many who have seen the sketch
admire Miss Parke's work very much. !

he incidentally throws in a few words |
about John Barrett, and that he is a |
ready adviser on all topics that pertain
to statecraft. Still, when it is consid- |
cred that advertising is quite as nee
essary as diplomacy at times, and more |
so at others, it will be seen. that Bar
rett has his value. At any rate, he is |
progressing from one i'm |
oortant post to another, and there isn't |
so much sentiment about these things |
as some people imagine. /
