HAWAIIAN REUNION
IN SAN FRANCISCO
Walter G. Smith, A. F. Cooke
and Others Start a Pleasant
Idea Abroad.

Growing out of suggestion in jest
few days before the sailing OF the
Sierra, self-appointed committee con
sisting of H. L. Kerr and Mrs. Kerr,
Geo. N. Wilcox, Mrs. Robert Levers,
A. f, Cooke, Mrs. Anna s. Wright and
Others, very informal but most de.
lightful gathering of Island people, met
by invitation at the Hotel Stewart, San
Francisco, Friday evening, August 10.
A company of Hawaiian boys with
their stringed instruments and the hotel
piano, led by M. LOno Heen, with the
assistance of some Honolulu girls, led
by Mrs. Helen Desha Siemsen, furnish
ed Hawaiian songs and music to the
great pleasure of all, including many
of the hotel guests.
Many old friends met to renew their
former aloha for Hawaii and its at
fractions and interests of bygone days.
After light supper, Walter G..
Smith, formerly of The Pacific Com.
mercial Advertiser and now on the edi-
torial staff of the San Francisco Chron-
icle, entertained with most interest
ing talk given in his usual good humor,
uttering praises for Hawaii and re-
minding those, present of the heavenly
conditions under the shady palms of
Waikiki.
1t was voted to make it an annual
event for the gathering together of Ha-
waiians on the Coast, and Mr.. Stewart
kindly offered the use of his hotel par
Tors for that purpose, if at this time
of the year those present desired to
take up the matter.
A suitable button was furnished as
souvenir to all present and to some
who intended in the near future to
visit or to make their home in Hawaii.
Thanking Mr.. Stewart for all the as
sistanee he had given to make the gath
ering so pleasant, the company sepa-
rated, some to continue their journey
ings, while others retired to their rooms
to pack their trunks for the Sierra,
leaving the next morning for Honolulu.
The hope is expressed that the sug-
gestion offered above will take shape
and the reunions of the futre will
become regular feature of Hawaii
abroad. A register of those who took
