IL may be unfair for any suggestion
that there Is something detrimental
10 comfort in the management OF the
Ladies' Branch of the club. Young
ladies who wish TO take girl friend
TO the beach, and who would have
them bath from the clubs dressing
rooms, are denied the privilege OF
more than one such guest a month.
Surprising that the same rule were
applied at any Of the local clubs, 1t
seems probable that there would be
revolt instantly, or, further, a new
club started where the rules would
be more elastic. Also there are OBJ
jections TO the rule which prevents
any member from entertaining
friends at tea oftener than once a

place where the wife or sister of
any member Of the club may go on
invitation and have the privileges OF
members. OF course, there is to be
the same fee that Is charged the men,
or the women In the ladies' branch.
No one will object to paying five dol
lars a year for permission to use the
bath house. which will be built separ-
ate and apart from that used by men.
In a word, there will be an, addition
TO the eonveniences provided for men
which will be for the exclusive use Of
women.
IL seems to me that the women Of
Honolulu, as well as the men, should
feel themselves under obligation to
Alexander Hume Ford for looking SO
unselfislily after thels {, i.,foit and
pleasure here in Honolulu. where
there Is so little to occupy the mind
of the public. II will be possible for
the ladies in the addition to have
their cup of tea and biscuit after
bathing with the same freedom that
Is given TO those who are members
of the Exclusively women" side OF
the grounds. - - soes1

Girls who patronize the sea which
dabbles around the beach at Waikiki
remember with kindest feelings all
that Duke Kahanamoku has done for
them I'M teaching them how 10 swim,
how to surf with board and with ca
noe. The reason for his absence from
membership to the Outrigger Club
has never been made public and will
not be on this occasion. That there
was reason for so many good swim
mers remaining out many, know, but
more do not and the wrfterkof this
is with fthe latter. It wonldn seem ito
most Honolulu residents that TO have
lad him membeP-of the canoe club
would have been q good thing -5m
the point Of view of the promo Il Of
tourist travel to the islands. The
Outrigger Club now has q wide fepu-
tation. It may be presumed thst IL
is international and to have 1t known
that this young son of Hawaii, and
best of all a pure Hawaiian type, is
member of the club, would be good
advertising for Outrigger without In
any way detracting from the boy HIM
self.
The movement apparently started
on Maui to give Duke q memorial of
some character is good one. II Is
said that the Greek who won a mar
athon race in Greece was made indie,
pendently wealthy by his government,
or the people. The day before he
went into the race he was working in
the vineyard. of. his, father tiliings the,
soil in the cultivation of wine grapes.
Again the Canadian who won race
over there, was. il Is. SAID, presentedf
with a purse ofeffty Thousand dollars
and a home. That part of Canada
which made the presentation possible
is in no particular need of advertis-
ing but the. people were proud OF the
achievements Of their native son and
showed their appreciation of his eff
forts to put Canada on the list of ath-
letic aspirahts. Win Hawaii make a.
showing for Duke? Here is an op,
portunity for the people to show their,
spirit.
