Major Wholly has been on detached

he enjoyed a leave of absence before

Major Wholly, with his wife, Miss
Wholly and young Master Wholly,
have taken possession of quarters
No. 5, officers line, at Fort Shafter.
No. 3 was built and intended for a
field officers home. 1t is the only
field officers quarters at the Kahauiki
reservation, but has never until now
been occupied by the post comman-
der. Lieutenant Colonel Samuel W.
Dunning, when in command of the
Twentieth Infantry battalion, always
lived in house No. l at Fort Shafter,
and so the succeeding commandments
of the post have followed Lieutenant
Colonel Cummings example. The rea-
son for this was that the set of field
officers quarters No. was the last
house to be completed along the line
and Lieutenant Colonel Cunning did
not care to move.

If Miss Cowls wrap is dramatic, what
