The May social of the Central I'm
ion church under the direction Of
Mrs. Philip Frear and Miss Helen
E. Sprinks presented a unique and
enjoyable little one act play as the
feature of entertainment on Thurs
day evening. The play, entitled,
why Mrs. Gordon Did Not Hire a
Servant" was most amusing, and
proved further the latent talents of
a clever Honolulu artist, Miss
lSprinks, whose ingenious brain de-
lvised and invented the comedy. The
stage was embowered in beautiful
flowers, large jardinieres and tall
vases of vari-colored lilies making it
most attractive. The first number on
| the program was cello solo by DR..
Ramus, which was greatly appreciat-
ed, and was followed by monologue
by Miss Helen Sprinks entitled "A
Lecture on Women which held some
lpointed illusions
A piano selection by Miss Carrie
| Mclean came next, which was very
clever and won many admirers in
the audience for this talented young
lady.
But the piece de resistance came
when the curtains were drawn to
discover Miss Lena Whitford and
Mrs. A. J. Gignaux as Mrs. Gordon

blem
The entire play revolved upon the
applicants for the position of cook to
the Gordon household, who were a
motley group and rendered a fund
of amusement.
The first to apply was Miss Susan
lLargehead, a bold Cockney spinster
admirably made up even to her false
bang" who didn't expect to find
gentry in Hamerica," and who could.

This was extremely we'll portrayed by
Mrs. st. c. Sayres.

An excellent opportunity was miss
ed in not turning loose these humor-
GUS servants at the conclusion of the
play to serve the refreshments, which
were delicious, and enjoyed by all
present.
Many congratulations were show
cred upon Miss Sprinks for the sue
cess of the undertaking, and all
agreed that it was the most enjoy
able social given in a long while at
the church.
On Monday Honolulu was honored
by a short visit from former kamaa-
mas of these islands in the persons of
Mrs. Kellogg, wife of Dr. Kellogg, U.
s. A. (who is a brother of the ia
nous DR.. Kellogg of Battle Creek),
and her daughter, Mrs. Van Setback
Cnee Kellogg whose husband is the
Governor of one of the Philippine is
lands. They passed through in the
Mongolia The stay of these two
charming ladies was very brief to the
regret of their frienos here who had
hoped to entertain them. Mrs. Van
Schaack's health has been impaired
from her sojourn in the intense heat
of the islands, so she will reside in
California for few months.

A handsome luncheon was given on
Thursday in honor of Mrs. Eleanor

table was daintily decorated in rose

place cards depicted small artistic bas-
kets in water colors. During the after
noon five tables were entertained at
bridge.
1t was a delightful day as Mrs. Dill

BIRD THAT EATS. MONKEYS

A story familiar to most OF us in
our youth told how an eagle once
swooped down upon a baby monkey;
but before It could rise with its prey
the older monkeys. parents and grand
parents, uncles and aunts, all the full
grown members Of the tribe. leaped
upon the bird, and, holding II down.
proceeded seriously to pluck II. They
did their work conscientiously, leav-
ing the eagle wing feathers enough to
fly with but otherwise an entirely
naked bird.
What the story books never told
us, however, was that the eagle, when
released, fled to hide It's nakedness in
the woods OF the far-off Philippines.

Eagles In general kill by the grip
of their huge taions,s but II is impos-
sible not to believe that the monkey
eating eagle uses also that pitiless
beak for tearing and cutting the life
out of It's victims. And for what pur-
pose does the bird wear those untidy
feathers on its head? As some snakes
have tails especially adapted to at
tract the attention of their victims so
that they may be struck when of their

ture that these feathers serve sim

when seized would. following its In.

plumes on the stopped head which

NEW THEORY Is
RAPIDLY SPREADING
OVER COUNTRY

l.. T. Cooper's theory concerning the
human stomach, which he claims to
prove, with his new medicine, is being
given more respect and comment
every day.
Cooper claims that 90 per cent. Of
all Ill health Is due to stomach trou-
BILE. When interviewed about his theory
recently, he said: Stomach trouble Is
the great curse Of the goth century so
far as the civilized races are con-
cerned. Practically all of the chronic
Ill health OF this generation is caused
by abnormal stomachic conditions. In
earlier days. when the human race was
closer to nature, and men and women
worked all day out Of doors, digging
their frugal existence from the soil.
the tired, droopy, half-sick people that
are now SO common. did not exist.
ITO be sure, there was sickness in
those days, but 1t was of virulent
character, and only temporary. There
was none of this half-sick condition
all the time with which so many are
afflicted nowadays.
Il know positively that every bit Of
this chronic i'll health is caused by
stomach trouble. The human stomach
in civilized people today is degenerate.
It lacks tone and strength. This weak
ness has gradually come through sed-
entary existence. further know that
few people can be sick with the diges-
tive apparatus in perfect shape. The
sole reason for my success Is because
my New Discovery medicine tones the
stomach up to required strength in
about six weeks time. That Is why I
have had more people come and thank
me wherever have gone to introduce
my medicine, than / have had time to
talk with"
Among the immense numbers OF peo-
pie who are now ftrong believers in
Cooper's theory and medicine is Mrs.
