The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-02-23

give talk to the ladies of Honolulu
lem. Mrs. Merrill is well qualified to
speak on this subject, as she lived in
that city for number of years. Her
late husband was the American con
sui to Jerusalem for sixteen years,
was a great archaeologist and wrote
number of books, as well as num-
erous magazine articles on matters
concerning that interesting portion Of
the world.
Mrs. Merrill will tell of the real
life of Jerusalem, things which the
tourist has no opportunity of seeing
or knowing.
The talk will be given at Kilohana
Art League rooms at o'clock next
Thursday. All ladies are invited,
whether members of the league or
not.

Miss Hustaces car in the Floral
Parade in it's representation of uni
versal peace was an original concep-
! ton of Miss Hustace. The idea was
carried out to perfection in detail.
Four doves of peace lowered over the
car, one perched on the mouth of the
cannon in which a nest of young
doves were resting. The rifles were
crossed and garlanded with wreaths,
while tiny song birds perched on the
barrels of the rifles.
The drums of warfare were all
filled with flowers and baskets OF
ferns supplanted the barrels of bull.
let's
Miss Hustace's idea was unique and
well carried out.

Society has been engrossed with
the festivities incident to the Floral
Parade "Pinafore," and the Colonial
ball during the past week, so that
fewer bridge teas, lunches and din
ners have been on hand than for
some weeks past.
Now that these events have passed
and the regular routine is again es
tablshed, it is expected that the old
time hospitality for which Honolulu
is noted will be in evidence.
