Miss Charlotte L. Turner was the
Wednesday afternoon. when twenty
five ladies called upon her to wish her
many happy returns of her birthday.
Her friends showered her with flowers
and congratulations. and expressed to
her the deep and sincere aloha of all
the people of Waikiki.
Mrs. Ella L. Austin recited a topical
poem composed by a friend for the oc-
casion, being written in pidgin- English,
and purporting to be the words of
poor Chinaman, whom Miss Turner
had befriended. Needless to say, both
Miss Turner and the ladies were great
ly amused. A pretty souvenir book
was got up for the occasion by Mrs.
VIM. A. Mckay, and after refreshments
were served each lady left her auto
graph.

Now that Honolulu is to elect
mayor, the following from the San
Francisco News Letter suggest local
possibilities:
eff the new-laid plans of some of
our most active clubwomen do not gang
agley, San Francisco will soon be pro-
vided with a first lady 1t is proposed
to ask the wife of Mayor Taylor to
assume that position, in imitation of
the custom at the national capital,
where the wife of the President is
known in courtesy as the first lady of
The land In that relation, Mrs. Taylor
would be the first lady of the city, as
Mrs. Gillett is the first lady of the
State. / don't think that Mrs. Taylor
wants to be the first lady; I think she |
would prefer to be known as the wife |
If Edward Robson Taylor. However, |
f we are to establish this sort of caste |
n San Francisco, I wish some of the |
hub ladies who have the matter in |
land would prepare for the instruction |
# such curious citizens as myself a |
graded schedule setting forth the rela- |
i've Importance of the various civic |
aides. If there is a first day there |
hould be a second day, a third lady, |
md so on to the logical conclusion of /
he list. I suppose it would be plain |
through the families Of |
he various city officials until it came |
o the commissioners of the DEPART
nents, and the supervisors. How the |
promoters of this new civic distinction
will number the subordinate ladies of
he municipal administration puzzles
ne completely. But to tell the truth.
have never been adept at differen-
iating these social Innovations have
ever had the pleasure of meeting up
With civic ladies, and their habits of
bought are as a sealed book to me-"
