The second annual Christmas sale of
art souvenirs was held this week dur
ing Thursday, Friday and Saturday. A
large number of members and the pub

a success in every way. The College
of Hawaii will probably take part
next year. AS each succeeding year
brings out more workers in the field
of designing and executing Christmas
presents which are works of art, Ho-
nolulu will eventually be known for
the excellence of it's holiday gifts
