Speedy Work With
Cupid In Command

The following from the San
Frncisco Chronicle will be of inter
est to many friends here:
A separation of a few weeks
proved more than the impetuous
love of Francis Ernest Gay, son of
Francis Gay, the millionaire Homo
lnlu banker and planter, and Miss
Laura Low, also of a prominent
and wealthy island family, could
endure. and when the two met here
Tuesday, on the arrival of young
Cav from a business trip to New
York, they decided to delay no
longer. Both are Just turned 90
Miss Low, who had been visiting
relatives here, called limousine to
the Palace, and in a record d-break-
ing shopping tour-consuming Just
one hour-purchased a complete
trousseau.
Then followed a telephone mes
sage to their friend, DR.. Bruno F.
Sandow of 297 Lee Street, Pied
mont, asking if the wedding could
be staged there. Dr. Sandow agreed
to provide minister, attendants and
guests by the time they crossed the
bay and secured a license.
Just three hours from the time
the couple made their decision to be
married they stood before a minister
in DR.. Sandow's home and were
made one.
Miss Eva Stein was maid of honor
and Allison Jordan was best man.
The wedding was as formal as
though planned for months. DR..
Sandow provided a delightful sur
prise when he ushered the twenty
five guests to a perfectly appointed
supper, done by the leading caterer
of Oakland, all on an hours notice.

Convention Called off

Word comes to us from the Ha-
waiian Board Council in Honolulu
that the Annual Convention of the
Sunday Schools and Christian En-
deavor Societies of the Islands, set
for June 26. will be withdrawn for
this year.
This determination is the out
come of a demand for economy and
the husbanding of our resources for
future possible needs; ). it will relieve
the various communities of large
burden, in fact double burden,
that of sending their delegates to
Honolulu and of entertaining them
while they are there. This with
drawal, of course, includes the song
contest.
The regular annual Church Con-
vention, known to the Hawaiians
as the Aha Makua, will how
ever be held as usual, according to
the original program.

Prince Udine's Illness Delays Western Trip
Rural Y. M. {. A.

The annual meeting of the Gen.
eral Committee of this organization
was held at the home of the secre-
tary, Mr.. Loomis, at Eleele on
Thursday evening.
The treasurers report showed a
very satisfactory condition of affairs
financially, with very hopeful out
look for the future.
Reports from the two field secre-
taries, gave in some detail an ac-
count of the work inaugurated and
being carried on under the various
heads, and having in view the all
round development of boys and
young men. The committee eX-
pressed surprise and qualification at
what had been undertaken and ac-
complished, and considered that the
work was no longer in experimental
stage, but was a most pronounced
success.
The secretaries made an urgent
plea for greater cooper action on the
part of the general public.
The present officers were reflect
ed, and one new member added to
the Board.

Miss Janette Searight gave hel
friends a most delightful evening IN
her piano recital at the Lihue hall
Sunday evening, and one that will
be long remembered with pleasure.
The selections were entirely from
Chopin, the popular composer for
the piano, and were rendered with a
facility and feeling that were a reve-
lation to her guests, who had not
dreamed of the musical ability that
was hidden away under the demure
modesty OF. this popular young lady.
The stage decorations were more
than usually pleasing and harmoni-
Gus in the simple beauty of pink
begonia and pink shower, in gener-
GUS masses, in the midst of graceful
potted palms and ferns. Mrs. J.
NJ. Lydgate acted as patroness and
was mainly responsible for the ar
rangements of the affair.
We congratulate Miss Searight on
her initiative; as every one is say
ing 1T was such a nice thing to
dol" We hope that she will do it
again, and always invite the Gar

EXCURSION TO
THE VOLCANO

The following letter to Mr.. Rice,
the Kauai Member of the Promo
ton Committee will explain itself.
Honolulu, May 20, 1917.
My dear Mr.. Rice:
We have figured out that the trip
can be made by parties from Kauai
to Hilo, the Volcano, Haleakala,
Kahului and return to Honolulu,
stopping at the Crater Hotel, s51 so.
Stopping at the Volcano House will
be little more. $3.50.
The Honolulu Y. w. G.. A. will
be pleased to assist in placing ladies
in Honolulu, and of course, the
Promotion Committee will do every
thing it can to assist. We will have
special motor trips around this is
land and excursions oyer the O. r.
& L.
Hoping that you will be able to
double or treble your party from
Kauai, and asking you to make it
known to them that the services of
the Promotion Committee, and the
Y. w. c. A. are placed at their dis
posal, free gratis.
Leave Nawiliwili June 23rd
(Leave Honolulu June 25th. Lahai-
ma 29th.)
Return Honolulu June Both.
Leave Hilo 29th., arrive Honolulu
30th.)
The Y. w. G. A. Cafeteria is only
open foi lunch. This meal costs
20c on an average. The Y. w. c.
A. will be ready to arrange for
member of its staff to attend at Pro-
motion Committees office on days
parties of teachers arrive and will
arrange for rooms for them. A bed
room in any respectable place will
cost 81 90. There is one room avail
able at Y w. G. A. Homestead to
accommodatethree girls if necessary,
but it is not very often vacant.
A fair average cost for teacher
in Honolulu for one night and five
meals would be so 75-certainly
not more.
| Very truly yours,
(Sgd) ED. TowsE.

Fiske Singers Coming?

At the church meeting the other
evening a communication was read
from Maui requesting the coopera-
ton of Kauai in financing the adj
vent to the Islands, in July, of
Fiske University quartet. This
quartet has an international fame
and, we are assured, more than
upholds the traditions of the famous
Fiske and Hampton Jubilee sing
ers of a generation ago.
The proportionable expense, that
Kauai is asked to assume, is esti-
mated to be about 5000; they would
spend a week with us, and make a
tour of the Island, giving such con-
certs as we might arrange, entirely
free of expense beyond that indicat-
ed above, together with local trans
portation and entertainment. 1t
was the general feeling that we ought
to take advantage of this rare op-
portunity and get them to Kauai,
and that, for such a cause, there
ought not to be much difficulty in
raising the money.
The matter was referred to a spe-
cial committee consisting of VIM.
Henry Rice, Miss Elsie Wilcox, and
Mrs. j M. Lydgate.

Annual Church Meeting

The annual meeting of the Lihue
Union church followed the box sup
per on Tuesday evening, in the
library rooms of the church. Fol-
lowing an opening prayer, the pas
tor Rev. J. NJ. Lydgate, made a
brief statement of the work of the
year, commenting favorably on the
encouraging advance that had been
made. The church membership had
been practically doubled, the con-
gregations had increased 500, the
collections had more than doubled
and an unprecedented amount had
been raised for the Hawaiian Board
as well as other charities kept up.
Reports were then received from
the various committees, all of which
made very good showing Of faith
full work during the year, with very
satisfactory results.
The nomination committee, final
ly, made its report of prospective
officers and committees for the COM
ing year. As a rule those who had
served so faithfully last year were
retained, though many of the COM
mittees were reinforced by new
members. Taken up item by item,
these recommendations were careful
ly considered. and some few changes
were made. A new and important
committee was added on entertain
ment, it being the purpose to de-
velop the social side OF community
life III connection with the church.
The meeting closed with the singing
of "Blest be the Tie that Binds"

Some 297 children of the Lihue
and Hanamaulu schools were treat
ed to a moving picture matinee on
Tuesday afternoon. They were the
guests of a number of generous ladies
under the leadership of Mrs. p. l.,
Rice under the auspices of the Mo-
kihana club. There was very for
tunate selection of films and the
children were delighted beyond
measure; and they will long re-
member it as a red letter occasion
This is one of series OF treats
that are meant to include all the
children of the schools in turn.

Change and Exodus

From advance indications there
are going to be wholesale changes
in the personnel of the public schools
of the island, for the coming year,
mostly among the Coast teachers.
At Koloa four or five teachers are
leaving, at Eleele five or six, and
at Kapaa a like number, while at
other schools there will be material
changes, if not so sweeping.
AS rule these retiring teachers
have commended themselves, both
to the schools and the communities
in which they have served and we
will be sorry to see them go. Most
of them, we understand, return to
the Mainland, and some will ven
ture into the untried and uncertain
realm of matrimony. Our congra-
tulations go with them, also our
sympathies, in case they shall
needed.

STOCK ON THE
ROADS At NIGHT

There is very sharp corner on
the road at Koloa, near the old
mill, where there is much traffic;
and where, of all places, there
ought to be clear coast; yet very
commonly at night, there is loose
stock that hangs about more per-
sistently and more wantonly than a
lot of buns about an open saloon.
One of these days there will be a
serious accident at this corner, and
then perhaps, after lives had been
lost, measures will be taken to re-
move the nuisance. We understand
that an estray ordinance was passed
months ago, covering just such con-
ditions, but it hasn't occurred to
anybody to enforce it in that neigh
borhood as yet.

Box Supper On The Lawn

An annual church dinner is now
the established custom of the Lihue
Union church. This year it took
the form of box supper on the
church lawn, on Tuesday evening,
each lady member furnishing a pic
mic supper for herself and partner.
Men being somewhat in the minori-
ty, ladies were impressed to take
their places, which they did very
acceptably.
The suppers were very various,
but very excellent, and very gener-
Gus; the temptation was to stray
away from your own to your neigh
bors viands. The one exception in
the way of hot food was coffee.

Snow White at Koloa

The Snow White cantata at Ko-
loa, Saturday night, was even more
of @ success than people had expect
ed. Natural intelligence, good voices,
careful training, and beautiful cos
TUNES must tell, and they certainly
did on this occasion.
As usual the little ones were naive
ly interesting and delightful, and
showed remarkable training. In the
midst of the play the lights went
out, and stayed out for what seemed
an age, yet it didn't rattle the chill
dren at all, they went right on as
though that was part of the show.
The costumes called forth a great
deal of surprise and admiration
they were creations of wonder out
of the simplest materials, and have
awakened much curiosity as to how
it was done.
The entertainment will net some
$500 or over.
We understand that they con-
template repeating the performance
in Lihue; by all means, we hope
they will!

High School Hike
Up Hanapepe

A party of students from the Kau-
al High School and Grammar School
made a trip to Hanapepe Falls on
Decoration Day.
There were some twentv-six boys
in the party; all boys who had play
ed on the school athletic teams.
Rev. J. NJ. Lydgate, Charles
Dole and the Principal of the school
went with the party.
The start was made at about Sc
ven O'Clock from Lihue, truck and
an automobile carrying the party
AT half past nine the hike began,
and soon, according to Marey's Law
the line extendent far up the valley.
There were many beautiful and
interesting sights, and with Mr..
Lydgate to identify the various trees
and plants, the value and interest
was increased.
The streams were very high from
the recent rains in the valley, and
a heavy rain set in about half past
eleven, so that the trampers travel
led in wet garments, and ate lunch
under shed.
The return trip was made
through mud and rain but the en-
thusiasm could not be dampened bv
the rain or the steep hills, and
everyone seemed to enjoy the trip
immensely.

Electric Lights In Hospital

An Electric Light system has been
successfully installed in the Waimea
Hospital through the efforts of the
ladies Of the Waimea district.
The idea was originally planned
by the late Mrs. S. d. Heapy and
at her death, Mrs. T. Brandt, Mrs.
E. A. Knudsen, Mrs. w. X. Shult2
and Mrs. VIM. Danford took the
matter in hand and raised the re-
quired amount for the plant itself
and the Kekaha Plantation en-
stalled it.
Those personally interested wish
to thank all who SO generously sub
scribed to the worthy cause.

Autos Burned

Shortly before midnight last Tues
day the garage and stables belong
ing to the Kapaa Wine Company,
of Kapaa, together with three auto
trucks, were DESTROYED by fire.
The origin of the fire is not known
other than it started in the garage
end Of the building and that it was
a gasoline blaze.
Manager G. B. Gray is inclined
to the belief that someone was help
ing himself to gasoline from the
trucks and used a match to find his
way about.

Country Treasurer Kaulukou will,
from and after the first day OF July,
1917, issue badges to all persons APP

On account of the increased num-

badges as that is the only way
proper tab can be kept on them.
There are now 10 licensed rent

Too Much Speed

A locomotive belonging to Lihue
plantation is lying on its side in the
ditch just back of the Fairview
Hotel as a result of the engineer
trying to get up too much speed on
an empty engine. That both the
engineer and fireman were not kill
ed is a miracle, as the engine after
jumping the track and running
along the ties for quite a way,
plunged over the bank, thru the
fence and landed on its side.

But few women seem to wish to enter
the legal profession, and there is no
agitation whatsoever about their desir-

frank, cordial manner and her joyous
interest in everything novel gives ad-

She was before her marriage Miss
Louise Reidhaar and has been care
fully trained for her high social des-
tiny, having first studied at the private
schools of Basel and afterward under
tutors in Geneva. She spent short
time in Paris, for she is, an ardent mu-
