caused no little amusement. When
this formality (?l was over, there was
a general clamor for breakfast. and
the visitors marched to the Waime a
hotel, where tasty breakfast was in
waiting. Governor Pinkham left the
steamer with the party and entered
keenly into the spirit of the occasion.

of the visitors visited the Kauai Fruit
and Packing Company's plant. as well
as other special points of interest

Reception at McBryde's
Without doubt the feature of the
excursion was the reception held at
the beautiful beach home of Walter
McBryde. The weather had cleared
by the time the visitors arrived and
permitted the AID Clubbers to hold
many ceremonies on the lawn New
members were voted in and speeches
were made, and then visitors and en-
tertainers repaired to the big lanai
where a sumptuous lunch had been
|spread out. Cheers were proposed
first to the host and then to the la

short speeches. Two Hawaiian or
chestras were in attendance and. fol-
lowing the lunch, dancing was indulg-

thing was one big round of pleasure
and joy-making, aided materially by
informally. There was no lack of
genial hospitality and neither was
there lack of generous response As
a host Mr.. McBryde played his part
well and was duly elected member
of the Ad Club.
At o'clock the start was made to
Lihue, the trip being the best over
land journey of the excursion. The
sun came out just at the right moment
and permitted the visitors to get a
coveted glimpse of some of Kauai's
best scenery in all its bright hues.

ladies and the hosts and hostesses
gathered in the spacious town hall at
Lihue in attendance at chowder pre-
pared under the auspices of Jack
Coney.
And it was some chowder.
1t was the big gathering of the
trip, and was attended by about $50
persons. The hall was prettily dec

ranged. The stage at one end of the
hall was banked with ferns, and at
the table were Governor L. E. Pink

few prominent Kauaians, including

welcomed the AID Club to Lihue, after.
which w. ii. Rice, A. S. Wilcox and
other Kauaians were voted members
of the organization.
Sees Marked Advance
Governor Pinkham was the third
speaker of the evening and, in what
