Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1912-07-12

A. most worthy step and one which
should prove satisfactory TO all con
oeIned. Isl the one which the 0utrig
ger club 10 contemplating in the mat
:er of caring for the wives and sister
q membets who are not far enougl
III the list of applicants for member
rbip in the Ladies Auxiliary to have
TIE privilege OF the club.
IL may be unfair for any suggestion
that there is something detrimental
TO comfort in the management: OF thu
Ladies' Branch. of the club Youni
ladies who wish to take girl frienC
TO the beach, and who would have
them bath from the clubs dressing
rooms, are denied the privilege o
more than one such guest a month
Surprising that the same rule wer,
applied at any of the local clubs, 1
seems probable that there would b.
a revolt instantly, or, further, new
club started where the rules woulC
be more elastic. Also there are OBJ
jections to the rule which prevent!
any member from entertaining
friends al tea .oftener. than once !;
quarter IL n lNA kHf# rls
The Fo1d hef of the new addition
with regulations attached, is TO have
place where the wife or sister o.
any member Of the club may. gotI0T
invitation land have the privileges o.
members. OF course. there is to. hf
the same fee that is charged the men
or the women In the ladies' branch
No one will object TO paying five dol
lars 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 sdditibr
To the conveniences provided for mer
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 tC
Alexander Hume Ford for looking &c
unselfshly after theif {, :.,lolt and
pleasure here in Honolulu. where
there Is so little to occupy the mind
of the public. 1t will be possible fol
the ladies m the addition to have
their cup of tea and a biscuit after
bathing with the same freedom that
is given 10 those who are members
of the exclusively women" side OF
the grounds
Hui Natu and outrlsser.
Girls who patronize the sea which
dabbles around the beach at, Waikiki
remember with kindest feelings all
that Duke Kahanamoku has done for
them in teaching them how to 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 a reason for so many good swim
mers remaining out many know, but
more do hot and the writer of this
is with THE latter IL would Seem 70
most Honolulu residents that TO have
bad him a member of the canoe club
would have been a good thing from
the point of view of the prometer-ef
tourist travel to the islands. The
Outrigger Club now has wide srepb.
tation. 1t may be presumed tA&kAt
is international and to have 1T known
that this young son of Hawaii, and
best of all a pure Hawaiian type, Is
a 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. 1t Is
said that the Greek who won a mar.
athon race in Greece was made indie
pendently wealthy by his government,
or the peoples / The day before he
went into the race be was working in
the vineyard Or his''fathef thing the
soil in the cultivation of wine grapes
Again the Canadian who won a race
over there, was, il is said presented
with a purse of fifty thousand dollars
and home. That part of Canada
which made the presentation possible
is in no particular need of adyertis.
ing but the people swepe ppoad--of the
achievements of their native son and
showed their appreciation of his eff
forts to put Canada onsths list of ath.
letic aspirants Will Hawaii make d
showing for Duke? Here is an op.
portunity for Che people to show their
spirit.
