price the soldier would pay FOR it.
All the churches and wOmen's or

Mrs. Walter l.. Emory made an
earnest plea for cooperation and con-
tinuance on the part Of the women
Of Honolulu in this matter of looking
out for the soldiers welfare and en-.
ltertainment. She said it should not
be a thing entered into with great
energy, with everybody trying to do
something at the same time, but
should be a concentrated effort to con-
tinue to make the soldier as man
AID as a body of men realize some
thing of what he means to the people.
It was urged that not more than one
big entertainment, like the Outdoor
| Circles affair last Saturday, where
fifty or more men are entertained at
one time be undertaken in month.
This was the suggestion of an army
officer.
Wednesday and Saturday evenings
/ are liberty evenings" for many of the
posts, and these two evenings have
been selected for entertaining the sol
der. Private entertainments to- in
| diyidual soldiers are given, of course,
| at any time Mrs. S. G. Huber, every
Saturday, has three soldiers for a
drive and for dinner, taking different
men-the new recruits from Iowa be-
| ing at present those favored-for each
Saturday.

that wherever possible the mothers
of the boys vino had be entertained

Next Saturday evening the Woman's
