At KAAI.AXAI

At KAALAWAI
The Catholic ladies Of Honolulu
with Mr.. and Mrs John Lucas as
host and hostess. entertained the en-
listed men at a swim and picnic lunch
An at Kaalawai last Sunday. The
g. we're invited for II O'Clock, but
$50 found the first lot of boys arriv-
Ing and from that hour until $50 they
were still arriving. One hundred men
from Schoficld were invited and the
ladies are delighted to say that GOOD
deal over 900 men came. 1t was all
most informal. Long wire lines we're
stretched between coConut trees ana
cloth spins were provided and each
pinned his hat here and had no further
bother with his head covering. Many
enjoyed a dip in the ocean, after which
a simple luncheon Of SANDWICHES, pie
and doughnuts, with steaming hot COT
fee was served. Later in the after
noon red, white and blue neapolitan
brick ice cream was served with de-
Hcious homemade cake and Coconut
candy. Great baskets of rosy red ap-
pies and lunches of bananas we're
placed throughout the garden and
from these the boys helped them
selves
CHAPLIN Fealy was the right hand OF
the ladies I'm charge for he helped in
every possible way. He had charge
of the program. Sixteen pieces Of the
band came and played patriotic as we'll
as popular music. The Russian or
chestra played several numbers to the
keen delight OF all. The Schotield
quartet sang and were Immediately
favorites, having to respond several
tunes to the popular demand.
Mr. John Lucas. in his usual hospi'
tzsjB manner, gave the boys hearty
greeting. Mrs. Lucas extended
motherly greeting which made her the
soldiers friend. Later Mr.. Lucas gave
political speech in Hawaiian which
brought forth rousing cheer. Then
Mr.. Ward Walker, who is one OF tile
rockies at Schofield, gave speech
partly in English and partly In Hawaii
IAN. urging every one to vote the
straight Republican ticket. Then came
Mr.. II. Pettiiohn, another rookie from
Schofield. who gave a speech repre-
senting a German from Milwaukee en-
tering American politics. 1t was a
program that appealed to the men and
they we're loud in their applause
Rookie Samuel I. johnson did some
mighty clever card tricks that were
both amusing and interesting. Small
tables were scattered about the lawn
and here the men sat and enjoyed q
day out of doors. Mr.. Lucas told the
boys how proud and happy Honolulu
was of our Jackies and Sammies, and
hoped that any one showing any dis
respect to a man in uniform would be
dealt with as he deserved.
At the close of the day the boys
rave three cheers for Mr.. and Mrs,
Lucas and then goodbys were very
reluctantly said by the men. One OF
the novel things was a decor
ated circular table and here piled
high enough for every man to have
all he wished was delicious red, white
end blue homemade coconut candy,
Fruit punch was served from IL in the
morning until the close of the day.
After luncheon Gov. Pinkham ar
rived and made an informal speech
OF welcome to the boys, afterward
meeting those who came to greet
him. It was an altogether happy day
and Is an answer to the often heard
question-what shall we do for the
soldiers?" They only want to talk
to civilian folk. During the day Mr.
and Mrs. Frederick J. Lowrey, Mr.. and
Mrs. Iohn Guild. Mr.. and Mrs, Hugh
McCorriston. Rev. Fathers Steven. st
Ledger. and Valentino Mr. and Mrs
Horne, and Mr.. and Mrs. Mosher called
