"The Woman in Question" by John
Reed Scott. A pretty, characteristic
tone Is given To this romance by the
color pictures which emphasize three
of the more suggestive episodes In the
story. Unlike some OF the author 3
former novels. the setting OF The Wo-
man in Question" is not only modern,
but of modern international society.
An American who once met charm
ing lady i'm Venice, is haunted by her
face and voice. Both he finds again

Virginia. To which house party mas
been invited The lady OF smiles and
laughter has local rival, and so

means to solve the identity OF The
mysterious guest in whom he believes
he recognizes an undesirable. But the
social upstart has too many strings 10
his bow. dissatisfied with his efforts
To unmask the lady Of smiles and
laughter, he incidentally tries TO win
the heiress of the romance. and OF
course. comes TO grief between his en-
deavors. This novel is right up 10
the standard the author set In The
Colonel of the Red Hussars,' which
proved so popular with the reading
public.

LAST ADDRESS
Of FAIRBANKS
Fine Speech at Mems League
Supper Made Last
Evening.

Former Vice President of the Unit
ed States Fairbanks bade a public
farewell to the people Of Hawaii at a
banquet given last evening at the
Royal Hawaiian Hotel by the MEMS
League of Central Union church. It
was Ladies' Night with the club, and
about three hundred guests were pres
ent to meet and hear the distinguished
statesman A surprisingly large num-
Der of ladies were present, and they
app1auded the visitors remarks with
as much vigor as did the regular
members of the club.
The guests sat at long tables in both
the dining room and on the EVA la
mai. The guests of honor were at a
short table in the mauka end of the
room, and behind them were the flags
of America and Hawaii. At this fa-
BILE were the POSTMASTER. ex-Govern-
or George R. Carter; Mr.. Fairbanks,
Mrs. Fairbanks, Mrs. Timmons, Mrs.
Frear and Governor Frear. The din
ner, which was given in honor of Mr..
and Mrs. Fairbanks, included the fol-
lowing menu:
Canape of Caviar
Olives Radishes
Oyster Cocktail
Consomme en- Tasse
Filiet of Sole, Tartar Sauce
Roast Young Chicken
Saratoga Chip Potatoes
Asparagus Hollandaise
Combination Salad
Neapolitan Ice Cream Assorted Cakes
Coffee
Mr.. Carter introduced the guest of
the evening in a speech which rang
with a true Hawaiian welcome. He
spoke of many features Of Island life
which ne hoped Mr.. Fairbanks had
noticed during his travels around the
group. Mr.. Carter claimed that the
further one went away from the main
land the more patriotic the people
We're. He reminded Mr.. Fairbanks
that there were no color lines drawn,
and the people here stand for all man
kind rather than for one race.
