AT the plate of each lady guest was

The program was very informal and
to a large degree impromptu. After
the AID Club quartet had sung AID Club
songs, Robert Cation was called upon
as one of Scotland's sons. He furnish
ed some off-hand fun in the course of
several stories which led to quick
witted repartee between Lauder and
himself, and voiced the sentiments OF
the company in stating that all were
glad to meet and entertain Mr.. and
Mrs. Lauder.
Harry L. Strange next told how he
had seen Lauder in London when the
Scotchman was friendless and alone,
and how LADDERS ability had wen him
permanent recognition. j. A. Dunbar
who arranged for LADDERS visit and
who accompanied him on the tour of
the city today, next spoke briefly.
After welcoming Mr. and Mrs. Lau-
der on behalf OF the AID Club, Mr..
Dunbar presented them with beauti-
full leis. 1t was then that with many
cheers as accompaniment, Lauder was
elected to honorary membership.
Mr.. Dunbar said:

Producing to you all Mr.. Harry Lauder

"As the thistle is the national en-
biem OF Scotland, so was this flower,
the lima, chosen of all flowers by
the kings of old to be the emblem of
this island Oahu In the .ef Cmean-
Ing wreath) the lima with silent elo-
quence speaks when all other words !
are weak the one word Aloha. The

the famous little comedian brought upl
4 smile that instantly evoked wavel
of laughter which Increased to riot
when he began telling Scotch stories
broad dialect with Eng
llsh in which scarce trace of Scotch
accent was noticeable, he thanked the
club for its courtesy. He told briefly
but with some real pathos of his early
struggle for success, and referring to
the AID Clubs recognition of the la
dies, declared that even on the low
est rung of the ladder he had been
eheered on by his wife.
He ended by singing two verses of
Scotch song, one of them ending
Goodby till we meet again" but the
cheers were so insistent that after this
he got back on the chair and sang an
other song, "the Scots goodby after a.
night o. conveeyiviality, as he put it. |
