Laulau, poi luncheon and luau will
be served from II a. m. to 2 p. m.
AS the church is greatly needed at
Kaimaki and as it is to be built en-
tirely of the stone taken out of local
ground, . the expense will not be as
heavy as If stone had to be imported or
made here. The luau from II o'clock
to 2 in the afternoon will mean a
pleasure for those who are fond of
Hawaiian food and for the stranger
an opportunity to taste of Hawaiian
delicacies.
WHAT SAN FRANCISCO SOCIETY
| ~ WOMEN ARE DOING FOR
|. THE ENLISTED MEN.
SAN FRANCISCO-Comes another
matron, Mrs. Henry ]. Croker, with
another kindly thought which points
in different direction. Mrs.
Crocker has opened her pew at St.
Luke's church to all who may wish
to use it. .....
Mrs. Prentiss Cobb Hale has, per-
haps, struck the note of greatest orr
ginality in her methods. She has es.
tablished an endless chain of hospi-
| tally among her friends, asking them
to invite two or three sailors at a
time to dinner once a week. She,
herself, has for two Saturdays had
parties of sailors at luncheon, with
girls to go around for the hour or
two of dancing afterwards, and auto
mobiles to take the boys and girls on a
trip about the city in the late after
noon. 49,.
Recently Mrs. Hale was hostess
to about thirty men,. The Saturday
before she entertained i'll like mau-
ner twice and was delighted to find
among them one who had been the
college chum of her son, Carlton
Bryan, at Stanford University.
She found that others we're college
boys from other parts If the coun-
try, and that all appreciated the priv
ileges extended to them, their ex'
pressions of gratitude for a touch of
home being pathetic in their tEgen-
uousness. ~. -,. !:
Some of the girls who hav9 been
assisting her are Misses Dorothy
Deane, Marcia and Elizabeth Fee,
Adelaide Oliver and Mts. Edward
Burke Corbet (Linda BYyan). Mrs.
Jesse w. Lilienthal and Mrs. Andrew
Lawrence also assisted. Each of these
was impressed into similar entertain
ing, and each promised to urge her
friends to do the same. Hence the
endless chain.

all my life had home, but I've al

thing like this. l feel like this is my

feeling about any place before. You
