FLOWERS FOR DEAD

LONDON, Aug. 31.-The movement
recently started to abolish the uses of
flowers at funerals and divert the
money so saved to deserving charita-
tie purposes, is not likely to receive
much encouragement in London.
The manager of one metropolitan
Undertaking establishment voiced the
general opinion of his trade associates
in saying that there is too much sent
ment. in the English nature to allow
such tributes to departed friends or
relatives to be done away with.
"A few years ago." he said 60
Standard representative, this express
sion of grief and respect WSS mani
tested in a rather gruesomUnanner
by sable trappings and plumes on the
horses, depressing black pals on the
hearses, and yards of crepe wherever
it could be placed. Perhaps the most
oppressive feature, however, was tho
mutes with their crepe-crowned hats,
their, solemn yisages, and their sable
draped crosses. These funerals were
rot only gruesome, tut very expensive
and many a poor family has been bur
dened with debt for years in order to
pay the required tribute to one of its
dead members.
During the past decade. however,
tie British peoples natural sense Of
the beautiful has asserted itself, and
now most of the money spent at fun
erals is devoted to flowers. 1t is true
that there is an apparent waste to
lavish money upon tokens which per-
isb in day: but the substitution of
flowers for the gruesome black, trap
pings gives an atmosphere of the
beautiful to modern obsequies which
robs death of much of It's grimncss.
Moreover, it would be useless to
dispense with flowers in any attempt
to save the money for charitable pur-
poses, because everybody insists upon
laying proper tribute to their dead,
and they would in that event probably
return to the old method of elaborate
funeral trappings, which are even
more expensive AS an illustration, a
fruit-stal keeper in harrington road.
an elderly woman and very poor, was
buried recently in most extravaganza
style Where the money came from
nobody knows, but there were SIX
horses to the hearse, with black
plumes and trappings, and six CARR
ages and pairs, decorated with equal
Iavishness."

KUNALU BOAT CLUB GETTING
READY TO RESUME AQUATICS

For the pas year or more there have
t.ecn very fC% entertainments Of an
EinG but at ,hr meeting last TucSCay
it was decided that more will be done
along this line during the present
year The ClLb location is also desir,
able for swimming parties.
May Take 10 Swimming.
So far tine members have used tn"
club house on Regatta Day. for ROW.
ing. and Glh2: social entertainments.
This year. however. il is the wish OF
he girls that The members take some
interest in winning. After the
practice is over there is nothing moro
refreshing than a dip in the cooI
ocean. Some OF the members even 60
50 far as TO cope that raft will be
built there. e this hope is realized
the kunaiu 1ioat Club may develop
such swimmers as the Hui Nalus.
When asked why they do not put &
boat in the races, the girls say that
there is no real sport in rowing
against the members of their OWE
club. No doubt this is true. And ii
hat is the only trouble, why not star
another club. There are girls enough
n HI1olulu to make up membership
for another club with a standing as
high as that enjoyed by the Kunalus,
and surely the ocean will hold the
crews Of the two boat clubs. There
las already been some talk of this
hut as to whsther the plans ever ma
ture no one knows.
Now memhnrS are nronoSed in tho
Kunalus every six months, and it is
hoped that within the next six months
the present members will see,-fit to
elect a larger number of girls SO
that more interest may be taken in
the rowing. The old adage "A new
broom sweeps Clean" stands true in
this case for there are few of the
old members who take any vital in
terest in the. doings of the Kunalus.
After a girl has been member for
two or three years she loses all inter
for practice nor enters into the spirit
of the club.
Courtesy to Swimmers.
The courtesy extended to the par
Elephants of the swimming race be
fore and on Regatta Day, was greatly
appreciated, both by the young ladies
themselves, and by those who were
kindness of the Kunalu Boat Club it
would have been almost impossible
to have had the swimming races on
that day, as the Myrtle club house
was filled to it's utmost capacity by

Talking of Adding Swimming
to Rowing Events This
Year

Now that he summer is over the.
members OF the Kunalu Boat Cub
will resume their rowing This is the
only woman's boat club in Honolulu.
and has been in existence for about
ten years. For some time the young
women had no boat house of their
own, and under the supervision OF
Mr.. A. l.. G.. Atkinson they rOweG
near the Healani Boat House and
made use of the Healani boats. When
the members decided that they needed
a house of their own, money was Dor
rowed. and up TO the present time the
Kunalus have been heavily in debt
Now this debt is wiped away. and
the financial outlook is all that could
be desired.
The present membership of the
Club Is forty and at no time has the
number far, exceeded this. There are
few of the charter members still on
the active list, and each year as the
old members leave the city or resign
new members are taker ffI.--7Of the
forty members there are hardly NOR
than twenty five who turn out for the
rowing and are in any way active
This seems unfortunate, for the op.
portunities for muscular development
that rowing affords the young women
are many, 20 say nothing of the
pleasure TO be derived from this, one
OF the healthfal outdoor sports avail
able to wglnen, At present there are
but two crews, and If the membership
should be increased, the two boats
owned by the club might be dispensed
with and shells put in their place.
This would enable the Kunalus to en-
ter boats in the Regatta events.
Club is Exclusive.
Since its organization strangers
have found II hard to join the Kunalu
Boat Club. II is necessary first to-
be proposed for membership by a.
club member and then seven other
members in good standing in the club
are asked. to vouch for the applicant
II the club would admit to member
ship more young girls who would will
ingly turn out for practice, the crews
might make showing in the sports
that would be worth while.
Socially, the Kunalu Boat Club has
O. high standing. The affairs given
Ey the club are counted among the
Ultra swell functions of the season,
and their good times are enviable.
