Lord, mother If I could only get

In fact, that does not seem to be a
pleasant way of spending ones eve
nings: nor, after several years of
thus charging his mind after supper
could Harold detect that his great,
burning sympathy was being of any
use to any specific person. In conse-

There may be scoffers to suggest

unpleasantly reminds him of his past.

manner that all readers of this book
will Il believe) remember Harold
Mark for a long while, with { | sim

This Harold Mark the reader en-
counters as a newly graduated Nor
wegian doctor, contentedly married,
and temporarily established in Paris,
where his wife, ,Thora, is vaguely
studying "art" at the Louvre and
thereabouts. And the two were
happy enough until Harold fell to
thinking quite seriously about what
sort of a world he and his fellow crea-
lures inhabited and began extending
toward his fellow creatures great,
burning sympathy.
Now, as everybody knows, when
Scandinavians once begin sympathiz-
ing they go further than the philan-
thropists of more abstemious races.
who can take pity or leave it alone.
Thus this great, burning sympathy at
once demolished Harold's liking for
Thora' art. Looking at Veronese' s
beautiful women, he thought of the
number of slaves there must have
been to maintain such an article Of
luxury" He would even embarrass
his wife by voicing such high retlec-
tons quite openly before strangers.
One day Harold and Thora were
standing in front of David S picture
of Napoleon s coronation. Thora was
for saying the proper things and for
enjoying all the proper reactions; but
Harold s devastating contribution to
aesthetic criticism was to remark that
Napoleon was zone of the world s
greatest criminals" and to reflect
"HOw far along the world would
have been if only he had lost the bat
tie of Lodi ~
Thora was startled, but she exhib-
tied commendable self-restraint by
turning silently away from him to
converse with Finnish sculptor who
estimated the Louvre pictures by
more customary touchstones.
Then came the evening when there
was a public meeting in the Place de
la Republique to protest against the
massacre of the Jews in Kiev, and
Harold was wishful to extend to these
dead Jews his great, burning sympa-
thy by standing in the crowd and
hearing M. Anatole France deliver an
address.
But Thora's feeling was that for
them to stand in the crowd in all that
rain would do small good to the dead
jews and great deal Of harm to her
best clothes. SO she undressed and
went to bed. edo you come too! ~
she urged. "And the candle threw

was full of the joyful present and

his serious thinking. Behold" de-
clares Harold Mark in effect, 81 have

course, the obvious answer would be
that to place a mentally unbalanced
person in position of grave response
bility is not a test of anything except
the full scope of your personal mud
dleheadedness.
Even so, the reader is delusiveTy en-
couraged as Harold Mark continues
his serious thinking: "You with the
bleeding worlds conscience, You
stretch yourself upon the cross and
suffer and bleed like fool You help
no one" For the reader begins to
hope that this Mark is on the verge Of
discovering at least fraction of the
truth about Harold Mark, when, in
the nick of need, the most crafty
ingly uplifting reflections occur to the
hurt dreamer concerning "the great
dreamers of the past

Mark to himself with very moving
modesty "They were dreamers, and
yet they are the torch bearers in the
procession of mankind: and it is
owing to. them that there is not night

And that makes him quite happy.
Thus finally, in wringing gladness
from the reflection that but for tho
strivings of dead dreamers things
might, you know, really have been
much worse than they are, does Har-
old Mark attain to tranquil mental
unison with that other eminent phi
losopher, Pollyanna. And the book
ends with the reader comprehending
that the already devastated town, and
all Norway, and the face of the world
at large, are doomed indefinitely to
remain the objects of Dr. Mark S seri-

Citizenship Worker
Plays Santa Claus
Three Big Community Entertain
mentS Under Direction Of R. A.
Judd Prove Big Success - Every
one Delighted With Program.

During the past week r. Judd, who
is in charge oe the American Citizen
ship work on Maui, staged three large
Community Christmas entertainments.
They all centered about three schools,
Puunene, Paia and Sprecklesville. The
necessary financial assistance has
been most generously given by inter
ested plantation managers.
The program each time has consist
ed of about twelve numbers, includ-
ing Christmas carols, exercises and
concluding with an honest-tO-goodness
Santa Claus who has been very happy
to present each school with appro-
pirate equipment for carrying on out
door sports.
A volley bali set was given the Pun
men School and each of the other two
schools seemed just as happy to be
the proud possessors of the best bas-
ket balls that Santa Claus could make.
The purpose of the occasions was
three-fold, primarily to give the chill
dren one full evening of real Christ
mas joy; second, to furnish an oc-
casion when the children might give
free expression to their pent-up talents
and lastly to increase the parents in
terest in the accomplishments of
their children. In this way only can
we ever hope to Americanize the
fathers and mothers Of u island-born
children.
The packed houses in every place
indicate a fine spirit. 1t is to be hop
ed that another year Santa Claus will
again order us all to meet in the old
familiar meeting places, so that he
may again find his hundreds of eX-
pectant, happy faces awaiting him.
The following program of the Puu-
me entertainment is similar to those
at the other schools:

County Fair New Years Dance
To BE Big Social Event OF Season
The social event of the season spell
ed with a big ct" will be the ball and
musicale on Rev Years eve which is
to mark the opening OF the new Terri
torial building at the fair grounds, and
at the same time the big New Years
sports features of the following day.
The committee in charge of this
feature held a meeting this week and
checked up on the various features of
the event, and it is quite evident from
their plans that there will be nothing
for q long time to come that will ap-
proach it in quality.
AS before announced, the ball is to
be open to the public of Maui general
~ and everybody will be welcome.
For this reason no invitations have
been sent out, it having been decided
that too many sensitive feelings would
be unintentionally hurt through in
adyertantly missing persons who
would feel that they should not have
been overlooked.
Punahou Musicians Coming
The fact that the Punahou Faculty
Music Club has consented to come up
as guests of the Fair Association, is
a matter of congratulation to all music
lovers of Maui. 1t is understood that
these distinguished artists will give
a short concert preceding the dane
ing which will be in order later. A
letter from Mr.. George Cooke. in Ho-
noIulu, states that the program will
be one that win appeal to every one,
not being Of the ultra-heavy variety.
TIL members of the Faculty Club
who are coming are-Mrs. Burrel,
yioltnist; Miss Pasmores, 'celloist;
and Mr.. Frank Morse, pianist. The
piano for the concert is a splendid
new instrument donated for the oc-
casion by Jack Bergstrom.
For the dancing, Mrs. Kunewa's or
chestra has been engaged; and for
those who prefer cards, the spacious
balconies are to be supplied with
tables and chairs for this amusement.
Reception To New Minister and Wife
The reception rendered to Rev. and
Mrs. H. V. White, at the Kahului Com
munity House, last Friday evening,
was a very delightful event, and was
thoroughly enjoyed by the large mum
Der of Maui people who called to
meet the new pastor and his wife. A
very pleasing little musical program
rendered during the evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. White are very pleas
ant young people who will doubtless
come to fill an important place in
the community.
Little Alma Katherine Vincent,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Enos Vim
cent, celebrated her fourth birthday
last Monday afternoon with a very
jolly party to some 20 OF more of her
children friends, at her home on High
street. The Youngsters had a great
afternoon with games and with the
ice cream and other beautiful refresh
ments. One of the biggest features of
the occasion was the search about the
lawn for peanuts and other things
hidden for the purpose before hand.

Mill Dance Delightful Affair

The event of the present holiday
season was hat staged at the mill of
the Waikiki Sugar Company last Sat
urday evening, when about 400 invited
guests assembled there and were ac-
corded the hospitality Of Manager Pen
hallow and his c~o-workers. To say
that it was an enjoyable affair, would
be putting it mildly, as it was far be-
yond the expectations of the large
gathering.
For several years past the company
has turned its big sugar warehouse
building into one large pavilion for a
dance and other means of entertain
ment one night during the holiday
seaso, and the 1919 event far eclipses
those of former years.
Upon entering the grounds the
guests were greeted by a large tree
which had been lighted with electric
lights and presented the Christmas
spirit. The interior of the mill had
been most tastefully decorated with
long streamers of ferns drawn from
the center to each side of the struc-
ture, showing much painstaking work
on the part of the decorators.
A large dance platform taking up
nearly half of the building, had been
specially provided for this one occas
ion, and that the devotees of the ter
pischorean art thoroughly enjoyed
themselves and the beautiful music of
the orchestra, was evidenced by the
number of dancers who fingered until
the last dance was played. Not alone
were the dancers loath to leave the
pavilion, but a number who had spent
the evening playing cards and in social
converse, fingered until the wee hours.
During the evening refreshments of
ice cream and cake, sandwiches, coffee
and punch were served at the card
tables by a number of oriental wait
resses, and the wants of all the guests
were carefully looked after.
The marriage Of Miss Mary Bal,
daughter of Capt. and Mrs. William
Bal Of Wailuku, to Mr.. William D.
Esmond, will take place tomorrow
evening at the home of the brides
parents. Following the ceremony a
wedding dinner and reception will be
held at the Maui Hotel.
Following their honeymoon, the
young couple will make their nome in
Honolulu where Mr.. DESMOND is en-
ployed as engineer in the public works
department.
