IxNITED Old Soldiers Story of Coffee


 An old soldier, released from coffee at T2, recovered his health, and tells about it as follows:

In the little breakfast room beyond the dining room coffee was served by six of the younger girls Miss Martha Latady Miss Mildred Badham, Miss Alice Bowie, Miss Jose phine Johnston, Miss Oeiia Houston ana Miss Elizabeth Wyman, a pretty little group in silk kimonos and with ehrys- anthemums tucked in their hair

Clustered on the ow-hanging lamps, trailing from the top and asides of the swing and banking the rnantel were paper wistaria clusters-the pink variety, which har- monized beautifully with the graceful hangings Here and in the dining room a delicious supper was served a mid- night.
 In the ball room was the richest display of color and flowers. The great apartment had been lined with wis ,aria-purple shading to soft pink.

 The decoration of the club was a mas terpiece. To those who knew the number of delft fingers that had given their eff fort to the making of flowers and but terfiies and draperies, and to the proper placing of these lovely things, it was even the more beautiful for what it repre- sented. Every fluffy cluster of wistaria blossoms meant the loving service of some woman; every painted butterfly rep resented the ingenuity and the toll of oth- CTS. The chairmen were generals" as- sisted by a corps of capable lieutenants; but not only did they direct, realizing that working with ones assistants accomp fishes much, it is safe to say that many a flower added it's beauty to the whole scheme of things because of the work of these two able women.
 The lawns and the veranda of the club were brilliantly lighted with incandescents secreted in brilliantly tinted paper lan- terms.

Terrible old Turk!

 But what is the use of calling him names now? He seems to be harmless enough, if indeed he is yet alive. What was the matter with the old chap, anyhow? What was the trouble with the system that he dominated
 Why, he hated light.
 He was an owl or bat; a lover of darkness.
 Just one little incident will prove 1t.
 ? One day, after his hurry-up-get-off- that-thronc, good-riddance- -bad-rub- bish leave-taking, some young Turk was Eunmaging through his old pal ace, and in dark corner of some closet, where the ladies of the harem kept their belongings, he found
 A Remington Typewriter
 A strange prison for Remington! !!
 And it wasn't worn out. It was brand new.
 1t wasn't long before it found its way back to the Remington office, the records were looked up, and this is the story.
 Some years ago the Zionist Society, which was actively planning to colon ize Palestine, was desirous of propiti- ating the Sultan with unusual and costly gifts. So some of its officers purchased Remington Typewriter, equipped with Arabic characters, and, with as much dignity and ceremony as possible, presented it to old A. Hamid, thinking to please him greatly.
 What present that was to give to old Abdul! Why, it blinded him. Here was intelligence, civilization, freedom, staring him in the face.
 Here was a machine which would have given hoary Turkey new birth of light and life. To him it. was like the printing press-anathema; an engine of revolution. No wonder he flung it from him and hid it away among the women, who themselves never see the light of day.
 Among the women, to whom of course t meant nothing! What tre- mendous contrast between the women of the Orient and the women of the Vest
 This contrast has its concrete cx- prcssion in the typewriter, the ma chine whose work as the great eman- cipator of the sex has been among the most notable of its triumphs.

 ADVICE TO BEAUTY SEEK FER $

Aones-No, freckles are not really disease and their removal is quite easy and simple. First. be sure to keep the skin always clean and well pro- tectedt from sun and wind. Then massage the face Nightly for a few weeks with an ethical prbprietary preparation known as Wilson's -Fyeckle Cream. This may be obtained for 50c at any good drug store or direct from the Wilson Freckle Cream Co.,, Charleston, S. c. It is per- fecty harmless and guaranteed.
 Mrs. D. T. S.-A little dry salt rubbed into the scalp every other night and then well brushed out, frequently promotes the growth of hair. Do not wash the hair too often.

 One of the most artistic fancy dress costumes ever worn in Birmingham was that of Mrs. William Henry liettiE--a dainty. filmy thing of lace over satin, and crinkly white paper on which were borders of grape leaves.

LOCAL FRESHMEN
MEET AT DINNER

There was a very satisfactory re.
Spouse to the invitation of Alexander
Hume Ford, on behalf of the Public
Service Association, to the pressmen
Of Honolulu for a dinner at the Union
Grill last night, with the especial pur-
pose of considering the formation of
a press club. Mr.. Ford presided and
Percy Hunter of Sydney, his fellow
promoter Of Pacific unity and devel.
opment, was the guest of honor.
After an Introductory speech by Mr..
Ford, laying the subject open for dis.
cussion, Mr.. Hunter gave talk on
what preis clubs had attfined to-,
both in strength and usefu ness, in
his country. Many of the local men
followed, the debate being all CONVEX
sational and informal, and various
ideas of the nature and scope of the
proposed organization, having regard
to the circumstances to be dealt with
were brought forth. One suggestion
was to have a press association for
the Territory, but the prevailing opin-
ion seemed to be that the social fea-
ture should not be ditregarded.
On motion of Mr.. Maury, seconded
by Mr.. Irwin, the chair was directed
to appoint committee of three,
these to appoint two additional men,
ber5, to consider the whole matter
and report as early as possible to
called meeting. the three MEM
hers named by the chairman were
Daniel Logan, city editor Of the Star,
chairman; Riley Allen, city editor Of
the Bulletin, and George Henshall 81
The Advertiser.
1t was agreed that. should the com
mittee's report happily result in or
gdnization,' the body would signalize
the occasion with an excursion to Ha-
leiwa.

LOCAL TEAM
/ TO VISIT HILO

1t has been definitely decided that
the Japanese Athletic Club baseball
nine and the Mckinley High School
soccer team will go to Hilo for the
Fourth Of July and take part in the
events of the big sporting carnival
being planned by the Big Island en-
thusiasts.
Henry Chillingworth will accom-
pany the teams in the capacity OF
manager. They will leave on Tues
day, July 2, play practice games on
July and on the Glorious Fourth play
for two purses of 500 each.
The High School soccer team
should be able to defeat the Hilo
eleven, though in the past Hilo has
sprung more than one surprise in the
line of soccer.
The ]. A. C. may be relied on to
treat the Hiloites to a good article OF
ball, for their team is perhaps stron-
ger today than ever before.
The soccer and baseball players
will be able to compete in the run
ming races, which will figure on the
program, and which will range from
100 yards to five miles, and for which
attractive prizes are offered.
