OUTRIGGERS
ADVERTISING

The Hawaiian band will play for the
young people at the Outrigger regatta
Saturday afternoon, as well as for the
older folks who go to witness their
sports in the water and indulge in af-
ternoon tea.
The Outriggers have issued an illus
trated card advertising their after
noon and evening events next Satur-
day. Several wellknown citizens have
come face to face with themselves in
these pictures, riding before the break
ers in canoes, snapped when they were
too intent upon keeping their seats to
notice the camera fend.
Burton Holmes, one of the first to
suggest the Outrigger Club, is in one
of the pictures, with little Marie
Brookes, the club mascot. The pres
ident of the organization is pictured
standing on his first wave, and even
R. K BONNIE did not escape the
camera.
Arthur Gilman and some of his con-
temporaries are pictured in surfing
contest; in another snap picture, Har-
old Hustace, the ex-champion surfer,
and again contestant, is seen standing
nonchalantly on his board, while young
James McCandless is sitting on his.
The Outriggers are hard at work,
and the events of next Saturday prom.
Use to set a pace at Waikiki that the
next regatta committee will have a
task. to keep up with. Everyone is
invited to the regatta, which is free
to all, and everyone is invited to af-
ternOon tea, or a six O'Clock supper, on
the Outrigger grounds, which is almost
free.

It was the day after Christmas, and

West-end residence. and In answer TO
his ring a mauservant In rich livery
appeared.

servant, as he took the letters. The
mistress wishes TO speak to YOU"

LEGEND OF SANTA CLAUS.
Stockings Hung on Door of Mother
Abbess in French Converts.

There grew up custom in Christian
countries of giving presents in secret
on the Vigil of st. Nicholas.
In Italy it was called the Zopasta.
which means in Spanish a shoe, be.
cause the gifts were put into shoes to
surprise people when they should put
them on in the morning.
In many French converts the board,
ers used to place each her silk stock

Mother Abbess, recommending them.
selves at the same time to st. Nicholas.
And in Germany boy dressed as a
bishop would go round In vestments
and mitre and fill the stockings hung
up.
This solemnity of the boy bishop
came to be kept here with much care
and ceremony on the feast Of ST..
Nicholas to commemorate his youth
and his patronage of children. In
Salisbury cathedral there is, or was,
a monument to one Of these boy
bishops who died during his term OF
office. The same custom was observed
in Spain, and in Switzerland until the
end of the eighteenth century. At one
place in England, the convent Of God
stowe, in Oxfordshire, public prayers
were said by a little girl dressed as ar
abbess.
The custom, stopped here first by
Henry VIII. and afterward by Queer
Elizabeth, was in a different form
carried on by the Dutch in America
and became In the end the secularizet
ceremony we still use here of SAINTS
