ian entertainers figured very promi
nently at luncheon given to Justice
and Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes when
they were in San Diego The luncheon
was at the Cristobal cafe, which is on
the isthmus In the exposition grounds,
and the Hawaiians we're secured from
the Hawaiian village on the isthmus
where they had come from San Fran
cisco. They were the most heartily
and frequently applauded of all the
performers, being called back again
and again. AS a tribute from their
native islands two of the singers re-
moved the leis from their own necks
and laid them~over the shoulders of
the distinguished visitors. This grace
ful little act created sensation, peo-
pie standing up all over the cafe to
witness ii. Both Mr. and Mrs Hughes
seemed delighted with the Hawaiian
singing and dancing, which was all
new to them, and throughout the rest
OF the luncheon. and on the way to
the organ pavilion where Justice
Hughes addressed crowd of 10000
people. they wore the decorative Ha-
waiian leis.
That day the Pan-Pacific building
was thronged all day long with Wis
itors. When l called on Mrs. Went
worth she was besieged on all sides
with questions about the photographs
she had of Hawaiian scenes and for
other information concerning Hawaii.
Most OF the visitors seemed particu-
larry interested in the model Hawai-
ian school, and I was called upon to
discuss its structure, and listen to
comparisons between it and mainland
schools.
"Old Folks Day" last week at the
exposition was enjoyed by over hun
dred delighted youngsters between the
tender ages OF 80 and SO years. all
guests of one of San Diego's big-heart-
ed women. One old lady was not al
lowed by her relatives to come, she
having recently celebrated her 105th
birthday, which was considered excite
ment enough for child or her age.

visitors to the Canadian building have
now just about passed the baby stage,
but still prove a drawing card with
their funny. awkward acrobatic stunts.
j was asked the other day why Ha-
wall had not sent one or two OF her
native animals to the exhibit, and was
hardly believed when i said that SO
far as knew Hawaii had no animals
that had not been introduced there
from other countries. Somebody in
terrupted me TO say: "Oh, yes, there
are plenty of native centipedes and
lizards there-but they don't bite.
Ellen Beach Yaw, who is called the
Lark of California because of her In
Irritable sweetness and clarity of tone,
thrilled a vast audience when she sang |
at the organ pavilion last week. Her
"Swiss Echo Song" win not be soon
forgotten. There was not stir, ex-
cept in the hearts of the listeners as
they waited for the echoes.
