society women OF Honolulu tIllS NSSh
At meeting held on Tuesday after
noon in the throne room of the for
mer palace plans were discussed. MI
George Carter, who. by the way, has
done lot toward waking conserVa
tive Honolulu up TO realization Of
the seriousness of the war question
told in a few telling words what the
women were called together for. MT
Rath explained the distribution OF tags
and slips, while Mr.. 4. l.. Castle told
of the arrangements made and the
method OF getting members for the
Red Cross.
II is sincerely TO be hoped that not
a person approached will refuse to be
at least a member of this splendid or
ganization. The work OF this drive Is
in the capable hands OF Mrs. GerrIt
p. Wilder and Mrs. Harry Macfarlane,
who have selected as heads of the diff
ferent sections women who have done
this same kind Of work before and
Tho 90 into il with q keen understand
ing OF all that is expected OF them.
Each district head in turn selects
number of capable women to do the
soliciting, the head to remain In
some central place where the reports
may be turned into headquarters,
which will be at the corner OF Fort
and Beretania streets.
The Red Cross drive is very for
tunate in having two such efficient
women to head the campaign. Mrs.
Wilder has been working since the
carly part OF 1915 on war relief work
and IL is work that has kept her
steadily at her desk both morning and
afternoon and long into the evening.
Mrs. Wilder has her work going
smoothly, and she is always helpful,
willing and ready to advise and talk to
those of us who are not so efficient.
Mrs. Wilders task in this drive is
TO get the women from the center OF
Nuuanu avenue to Diamond Head
working, and it has indeed been a
pleasure to cooperate with two such
splendid types as are Mrs. Wilder and
Mrs. Macfarlane. -:
The machinery is working smoothly
AM 1t will not be the fault of either
directors or sub-directors IL the pro-
ject should fail. That, of course, viii
rest entirely with those asked to be
members. II they fail in responding to
this call, which is to help humanity,
they are Just as much Stacker as the
man who is too great coward to
shoulder a gun, so it betides every one
to become a member in this call Of
helping our helpless. Mrs. Harry Mac.
farlane, who has charge of Nuuanu to
Pearl City, has no easy task to per-
form in gathering in members, but
from past experience with this able
woman there is little fear of failures
The unit of mec, anical alto work
that she has had charge Of speaks for
itself
