| teaching women how TO entertain large
groups OF men we're two matters OF
importance that called out the lively
interest Of a representative group OF
women. when the Woman War COun
Gil met this morning at the !. W. {. a.
Mrs. F. J. Lowrey. president of the
council. presided at the meeting,
To provide the soldiers with home
cooked food 100 real New England
doughnuts, feathery light cakes and
pies that bring up almost forgotten
days OF boyhood-is the purpose OF the
Canteen Club. Mrs LoWrCy wanted
it clearly understood at the outset,
that IL was the aim and purpose and
desire of the Canteen Club to cooper
ate in every wsy with the territorial
food commission. conserving as much
as possible the fOodstuffs, and parti'
cuIarly the white flour. To this end
the things prepared for the club were
to be made with an eye to economy
of materials. At the same time, the
food would be we'll cooked, wholesome
and delicious. and we'll worth the
price the soldier would pay for it.
All the ch4rches and women's. or.
CARNATIONS in the city are invited to
come into the Canteen Club. Those
which have already joined are the
Episcopal, Methodist, Catholic. Central
Union, Kawaiahao and Kaumakapili

These various organizations will
each have its own afternoon when the
goodies" for the soldier which have
been collected from the women men,
bers will be on sale at the Army and
Navy "Y." The materials for the
"eats" will be bought as close to cost
prices as possible, and the food sold
at city prices, the slight difference in
cost and selling price to be turned
ever to the Woman's War Council to
defray some of the expenses of it's
work. The work Of preparation will
be donated by the members supplying
the food.
The first sale will be around the
middle of November, as the Army and
Navy "Y" is ready. 1t has not yet
been decided what organization will
come first on the list: Dates will be
decided upon by the executive com.
mittee of the War Council. and Mrs.
Lowrey should be notified O. any
choice of dates as far ahead of the
time as possible, 30 there may be no
conflict.
There will be only twelve delegates
to the cub on entertaining the soldier
in numbers. Several of these have
been selected, but no time of meeting
has been set. Miss Channon of the
Y. w. c. A. will notify the delegates
by telephone as soon as date has been
decided upon.
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-
tertainment She said it should not
be a thing entered into with great
energy, with everybody trying to do
at the same time, but
should be 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 ono
big entertainment, like the Outdoor
Circles affair last Saturday, where |
fifty or more men are entertained at
one time be undertaken in a 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
lier. Private entertainments to in
iividual soldiers are given, of course,
It any time. Mrs. S. c. Huber, every
Saturday, has three soldiers for a
lrive and for dinner, taking different

ng at present those fayofed-fer each

hat wherever possible the mothers
# the boys who had be entertained
hould be written to. Many of these
have already been heard from
n letters expressing much gratitude.
Next Saturday evening the Woman's
Auxiliary will entertain the soldiers
With dance. Instead of the $50 orig
Rally decided upon, it has been de.
ided to have only 100 soldiers. as the
Iannine flor can accommodate only
