them TO carry on vast campaign Of
local and foreign relief work. and this
is uppermost. in every circle at this
time. Almost every woman. in Homo
lulu has done her share of knitting for
the war-sufferers and the kin in whom
they are most interested IL Is safe
TO say that every steamer leaving
here takes its quota Of knitting for
war-stricken Europe
The smart set has surely kept the
Benten season as never before, for
practically not an evening of enter
tainflent has been held during the
week. However, the elite have not
been idle, for with the enormous
amount OF things that are being done
outside of events social, milady has
kept the hours from dragging too
heavily. Baby Week, which has taken
such hold on everyone, has kept a
lot of folks more than busy, for il has
been tremendous undertaking, and

heart on certain sum of money, and
from the present outlook she is going

Mrs. E. s. Cunha and Mrs. J. F..

that is worthy of them to raise funds
through a delicatessen sale to assist
the poor and needy in our midst.
Mrs. Arthur G. Smith is giving every
hour of her time as the publicity chair
man for The Tanning of the Shrew"
and no easy task either, for she
needs must please everyone.
Mrs. Harry Macfarlane as costume
chairman Of the same production is in
deed busy woman.
With really almost more than one
woman could accomplish, Mrs. Mac.
farlane is SO well-ftted by talent and
industry that it has been easier for
her than for almost anyone else here.
Mrs. L. l.. McCandless has written
an able paper about Shakespearean
costuming.
Mr. VIII Levers, the director, has
had a night-and-day contract on his
hands, that of keeping everyone happy
and yet getting the best out OF each
player.
Mrs. F. j. Lowrey and her willing
assistants have been busy during the
whole Lenten season attending to the
replanting of destroyed trees and
those that have just died, also to the
general work that comes under the
authority OF the busy women of the
Outdoor Circle.
Mrs. e. M. Watson, whose picture

Next week the Lenten spell will be
BROKEN, for many things are on the

Shrew." Many indeed are the dinners
and luncheons to be held the coming
week.

lovely lower-girl picture which We all
admire. Instead, there will be bas-
kets Of cut flowers ready to send to
friends-baskets with graceful curves
and dainty handles. Then there will
be boutonnieres and larger bouquets
and one still larger fiower-Mrs VIM.
