CHRISTMAS IN HAWAII.
christmas in Honolulu yesterday
was like a balmy spring day on the
mainland. 1t is rather hard to think
Of snow and sleet, sleighs and
the jingle Of sleigh bells in our
own delightful country. This year was
warmer than for several years past
making the social side one with din
ing room windows wide open and a
pleasant breeze waited from without.
1t was a quiet Christmas with little
gift-making except for the children
and they, as they should, had their
days pleasure The approach Of San
Ia and his horns and bells sends
thrill of childish pleasure through
even the oldest Of US and the expec'
tant faces Of the little folk, as they
stand or sit grouped around Santa
Claus, will never cease being a JOY to
behOlders. So let US hope that as long
as the world lasts the charming story
of Santa Claus will be enacted and
give the joy and happiness it was in
tended to give.

ARMY GIRLS PATRIOTIC WORK.
Miss Polly Young. the attractive
daughter Of Col. George S. Young, who
enjoyed the greatest popularity dur
ing her visit here last summer, is now
in charge Of the Portland branch Of
the Navy League, according to letters
received here by her friends. Col.
Young was transferred from the Pre-.
sidio here to Portland a few months
ago In the latter city he has been
doing recruiting work. Miss Young
followed her father north in a few
weeks. and almost at once plunged
into the Navy League work. Her po
sition as head OF the league means
hours Of strenuous work every day.
But Miss YcUng's taste for work is
apparently as enthusiastic as her en-
joynert Of 81 c!al pleasures, and she
is acGuitting herself in Portland in the
most creditable manner. Col. and
Mrs. Young have lived in Portland for
