many social attentions since the an

| A very delightful and informal after
noon was spent at Maluhia, the charm
| ing valley home of Mr.. and Mrs. P.
c. Jones, on Thursday, with the Aloha
Chapter ID. A. R., Mrs. Charles Warren
Fairbanks being the guest of honor.
Mr.. Jones had arranged to have auto
mobiles in readiness at the end of the
Nuuanu car line, and many of the
guests were thus conveyed to the place
of meeting. The day was perfect; the
valley never looked more beautiful and
| the charming outlook on every side was
| thoroughly enjoyed.
! Mrs. Hall, regent of Aloha Chapter,
| introduced the ladies to Mrs. Fair
banks, and in few words gave little
sketch of the Chapter S history She
then introduced Mrs. Fairbanks as one
who had held the high office of presi-
! dent general of the National Society
! d. A. r. Mrs. Fairbanks made short
| speech setting forth the aims of the
society and its achievements. She told
| of the Continental Hall, which was to
| stand forever as a loving tribute to the
| memory of the women of revolutionary
times who were no less brave and self
| sacrificing than the men. This build
ing is of white marble and stands
| among other public buildings in our
| national capital. She spoke also of the
educational work of the society and
the necessity of teaching the young of
the various Pationalities who come to
America, that they may be fitted Tor
life among a self-governing people.
Light refreshments were served and
a general sociability prevailed until
| Ave 0 clock, when Mrs. Fairbanks took
leave of the ladies as she had dinner
| engagement to fill. So many gaitles
are being thrust upon our distinguish
ed guests that it will not be at all
strange if they, each and ALL draw a
deem breath of relief when they are
fairly settled on the steamer bound
for Japan. Aloha Chapter hopes that
their journey will be one of unalloyed
enjoyment.
While there have been numerous
functions and entertainments in honor
of the Fairbanks party there is an ex-
| pressed desire among townfolk in
general that a public reception be
held that the distinguished states
| man may be met informally. Such a
| reception could easily be held down
; town, providing that Mr.. Fairbanks
list of dates. is not already filled.
