when it involved, at any rate in the eyes

More than a fortnight ago. when the
festivity was planned, every member was
assigned a fellow member for whom he
or she was TO make a valentine. These
assignments were, however. kept secret
so that none knew from whom his or
her valentine came. This gave oppor
tunity for much conjecture and was the
cause of considerable merriment. But
the valentines were in themselves OF
unique interest. Singularly varied in
form they were universally attractive.

others sketches in charcoal and the like.

CRICKETERS TO MAKE TOUR
OF MAUI IN AUGUST

The meeting Of the CriCketers which
was held at the Scottish Thistle
Club yesterday afternoon was well
attended and the greatest interest
was shown In the scheme to send
team TO Maui.
Most of those present wanted to
make the trip. and II all the players
who are keen on the proposition can
arrange for leave, there will be a
big bunch OF Honolulu cricketers on
the steamer passenger list In the
near future.
Although no definite date was
fixed for the trip 1t is understood
that the team will leave here early
in August, and II will be arranged
so that the least time possible will
be spent on the excursion. The
Maui people are very keen on the
idea, and many OF those who do not
play tennis or polo think that the
good old English game should be
played at the same time that the
valley island.
And II II could be arranged so,
special steamer would be in order.
as the cricketers and racket men will
fern very large party OF sports.

ty well MI up one of the smaller boats.
Then, II the local gunncrs could
only arrange to send n team aong.
the JOY would be complete, and Maui
from one end to the other would be
en- fete, :
The local cricketers are going In
for hard practice from now on, and
as the team will be picked on pres
ent form, as far as possible, there
should be keen competition among
the players to make the team.
A strong team will have to be Sc
lected TO make the trip, as some OF
the Maui bats take lot of getting
out, and 1t would never do for the
! Honolulu men to be beaten.
