CECILIA OF THE PINK ROSES.
tGeorge II. Doran Company BY
Katharine HaviIand Taylor.
t&I.25.)

The little heroine OF Katharine
Haviland Taylor's Cecilia Of the Pink
Roses George II. Doran Company is
the daughter OF a laboring man who
has lost her mother early and must
look after her father and her little
brother So long as she remains a
child and poor the reader will be de-
lighted with her and with her good
friend the old priest. The laborer
however makes money and becomes
very rich; the girl retains her good
qualities and hard sense and is never
ashamed Of her father, while her
brother is snobbish and has to be saved
from going to the dogs. The account
of her prosperous and grown up days
though IT includes a love story and is
interesting in its way, is not as at
traCtive as that of her childhood in
the tenements before she had learned
TO use the English OF good society.

The Sacred Concert

The Garden Island is not ordi-
narily in sympathy with Sunday
entertainments, but the Sacred con-
cert on Sunday evening we regard as
an exception because of its high
character. From the beginning of
the world the emotions have been
stirred and men have been moved to
noble deeds through music, and in
all ages music has been the hand
maid OF Religion. The music Sun
day evening was of the kind that
stirs man to better things.
Our own local singers Mrs. Ahana,
Mrs. Sheldon and Miss Daisy Shell
don added very materially to the
pleasure of the envning.
We heartily commend the wisdom
of Mr.. Fernandez in bringing to
Kauai this kind of talent, and we
trust that the reception that it meets
will Justify that wisdom and lead to
our getting more of it.

IMPORTANT MEETING Of THE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The regular meeting of the Ka-
uai Chamber of Commerce met in
response to the call of the Presi-
dent on Thursday afternoon at 2
p, m. the President in the chair.
The President explained that in
the regrettable illness of the secre-
taro Mr.. Timmons, til e minute
book of Chamber had been mislaid e,
so requested the Chamber to dis
pense with the usual reading of
the minutes of the last meeting
Under the head of New Busi-
ness, Col G. p. Wilcox suggested
that it was a matter of duty Of
every loyal citizen to stand behird
the Federal Government in every
way possible in the present crisis,
and show his LOYALTY by flying the
national colors on his place of busi-
Hess VI MS IeSluSHCS.
Col Wilcox also reported for the
committee Oh Mail Service that ef-
forts had been made to secure a
more frequent local service. The
matter had been taken up with the
local post master, but without any
practical result so far.
Mr., Brandt reported if the post
al authorities would pay $500 a
week more the service required by
the public could be secured, but so
far there was no assurance that this
small amount would be paid.
Mr.. Silva thought that there
was very easy solution of the
matter; i f the Postal authorities
would take off the Monday service
and make it a Tuesday service the
problem would be solved, A Mon
dav service wasn't much good for
anybody; what we wanted was a
mail from Lihue to Kekaha on
Tuesday morning. and returning in
the afternoon, and the later the
better.
MIR. Hofgaard; - They wont
suspend the Monday service!"
Mr.. Wishard said that the diff
Guilty was that the Tueadav steam
er came to Ahukini, and it made it
late getting the mail up; if she
landed at Nawiliwili there wouldn't
be any trouble.
The Garden Island. [volume] (Lihue, Kauai, H.T.) 1902-current, 1917-04-24

The consensus of opinion was
that no change was possible
until a new contract was entered
into for the carrying of the mails,
WHICH would not be until July first
1918.
Col Wilcox being inter- ogated
in rega1d to the military situation.
said that there was nothing now
that he could say in the matter; in
case of mobilization, there was
every assurance that the Kauai
regiment would be ordered to Ho-
nolulu for training, This would
involve a good deal of inconven-
ience, to say the least, since there
were now about 1000 men involv,
ed, and if the companies were re-
cruited to full strength it would
mean double that number.
Inquiry was made in regard TO
the military census, as to how it
was tC be made, where the blanks
were to be secured, etc,
Mr.. Patterson said in reply that
he had about a thousand of the
blanks, aud doubtless more could
be secured.
Mr.. Farley said that they ex-
pected him to furnish the list of
those to whom the blanks should
be given out. This was no easy
matter as his lists were not made
up on the basis Of citizenship but
for taxation purposes. 1t seemed
to him that the blanks were far too
voluminous and too intricate; it
would take a LAWYER to fill them
out: how was all ordinary Filipino
going to do that; he would be
utterly at sea. In answer it was
explained that the blanks came
fr ON military head quarters in
WASHINGTON and we had to take
them as they came.
Mr.. Rice was appealed to on be.
half of th- police depal tment, as
to what would be done by them,
Mr.. Rice replied that his depart
ment stood ready to do whatever
they could, but naturally the plan
tations, and other large employers
of labor were in a much better pO-
