Maui WOman'S Club


The club meeting on Monday last
was very interesting. After the routine
business had been concluded, there
was community singing led by Mrs.
L. c. Jones, with Mrs. Hair at the
piano, hen a short play by members
of the study department, illustrating
parliamentary procedure, arranged by
Misses Phillips, Couch and Nearey of
the Hamakuapoko High School. Those
taking parts were Mesdames Case, W.
A. Baldwin, Fitzgerald, Bowdish, Nc
Phee, Hoogs, Moir and Wadsworth,
and Misses Crook, Holiday and
Couch. Mrs. McPhee deserves special
mention for her excellent protrayal of
the part of Miss Barrows, versed in
parliamentary procedure, and her clear
articulation, splendid bearing and en-
tire lack of self consciousness was all
very pleasing.
Mr.. Lindsay addressed the meeting
on the subject of Banking and Safe
Investments for Women" His re
marks were both humorous and en-
tightening.
New members admitted at the meet
ing We're seven: Mesdames NJ. r.
Reynolds. Roger Williams, Lillian b.
Atwater, J. S. b. Mckenzie, James Tay
Tor, Elena Carley and Miss Grace
Huntley.
The public is again reminded of the
dance to be held at the Puunene Club
House. April Goth. Admission is to be
so cents and besides dancing, there
will be a candy booth where home
made candy will be sold during the
evening. A good time is certain.
Numerous comments have been
made with regard to the planting of
c%ocoanuts in Kahului, all commenda-
tory. AS Kahului, the entry port for
this side of the island, is the front
door of windward Maui, it is, then,
the place where first impressions are
gained by visitors, and we all know
how lasting are first impressions. And
our own trees and shrubs are the
things tourists want to see. They do
not come here to see lovely roses,
carnations, chrysantheums and other
blossoms that they can see in profus-
ion and great beauty in the states;
they expect to see waving palms and
the bright colored HIBISCUS, bougain-
villea, pink and golden showers, cup
of gold and bigonia, for these are the
things they have heard about, as in
digenous to Hawaii. So let us plant
these things, which are hard to sur
pass as to beauty, anyway. No n
need wait for the civic department to
plan; they are doing splendid work in
this department, but each citizen of
NJ,,- n,. ,,aI-a . 1890 &c hnnt,txr ~
his or her own premises, and thus
help to bring about a glorious Maui.
April 18th to 18th is Humane Week
and will be so observed, especially in
the schools.
1t is understood that the College of
Hawaii is willing to establish extension
courses on Maui. This is a splendid
opportunity for our Island, and it is
hoped that in the coming months the
plan will become a reality.
The library law is finally passed,
with no reservations and there re-
mains now the actual work of estab-
fishing a library on Maui. 1t is some
thing t look forward to.
AT the club meeting on Monday sew
eral volumes of the session laws of
Hawaii were presented to the club,
the gift of Senator H.. A. Baldwin.
These books are available to members
wishing to peruse them.
The educational department will
meet at 3.15 MOnday afternoon. at
the Territorial Building. In onnec
ton with this, it may be mentioned
taht the educational department is de-
sirous of accommodating more maya
zines, photograph records, balls or
other equipment suitable for recrea-
ton periods in the schools. Anything
of this nature can be left at the Maui
Book store or sent to Mrs. w. A. Bald
win.
A fund of 500 for an annual scholar
ship was voted by the club, to be
awarded a graduate of the Maui High
school for entrance into the College
of Hawaii.
The club will sustain a real loss
when Mrs. Bowdish leaves with her
husband for their new home in San
Francisco next week. Mrs. Bowdish
has been a faithful and efficient club
worker, having endeared herself to
all, and her place will indeed be hard
to fill. However, the very best wishes
70 all the club members go with Mr..
and Mrs. Bowdish to their new field.
