pdtuTudy nlSnJ was q huge success
Those who had not before seen the
Ballet were delighted with 1t, and
those who had were more han pleased
to see ii again. Through the generos.
ity of u Lahaina friends, which add
ed so materially to the success of the
evening, the new curtain is more than
assured. The sum of $4,000 was
taken in for flowers, candy, and at the
door, and all who were present had a
wonderfully good time.
The monthly club meeting on Mon
day was unusually well attended, due
to the excellent program which had
been prepared, as well as the fact
that it was the primaries ~balloting
for candidates starting at $3.50 p. M.
Mrs. S. A. Baldwin and Mrs. l.. C.
Jones were hostesses for the after
noon, and had arranged a very attrac-
tive program. After the regular bust
ness Rev. Geo. II. DeKay spoke for
a few minutes of the boys who come
here on training and other naval
boats. He made a strong plea for
such boys, saying that his experience
had shown him that they were just
average boys, coming from all sta
lions of life, but particularly from The
country; that they needed to be en-
tertained and shown a good time the
same as any other 'home boy who
goes out into the world.
Miss Rita York appeared in a very
delightful solo dance, very gracefully
given, with a beautiful stage setting
of flowers and palms and other
greenery.
And now a word with regard to our
retiring president, Mrs. Helen MARI
Linton. Mrs. Linton took our club in
its infancy, with everything to be
worked out, and, already an extremely
busy woman, she worked and planned
untiringly, these past four years, to
make the club a credit to Maui. That
this has been accomplished no one can
deny, and the club members unite in
giving to Mrs. Linton the major share
of the credit. She has attended prac-
tically every department meeting, as
well as the regular ones of the club,
and few can realize how gigantic a
thing this has been. But it has kept
her in touch with the work going ON
in all the departments as nothing else

OF her great success as president. But
probably no club president, anywhere,
has ever attempted to give to her club
the time Mrs. Linton abs given and
never g%rudged, She has never been
too busy to talk over club matters
with the many who have gone to her
with their problems.
Mrs. Linton leaves on the Makura
ohp,,t fhn y,ilJ1a IF NIou for fha =, IN
land for a much-needed rest and
change, and we all wish her a splen- |
did trip, and look forward to having |
her again with us in the fall.
In connection with the proposed ex-
tension courses of the College of Ha- |
wall speakers are on Kauai this week, |
and on May 18th they will arrive on
Maui. The tentative program during |
their stay here is as follows:
Monday, May 16-Visit Puunene and
Waihee schools, and the Wailuku
school, where they will lunch.
Tuesday, 17th-Makawao, Kula.
Wednesday,, 1Sth-Camp No. /, Ha-
makuapoko Grade, and Paia, where
they will lunch.
Thursday, 19th-Haiku and Maui
High School, where they will lunch.
Friday, 20th-Lahainaluna and La
hama, where they will lunch.
There will probably be four speak
ers on the following subjects: Horti-
culture, agriculture, literature, psy-
chology, home economics. About four
evening lectures are planned, 10 be
announced later. Prof. David Craw-
ford is in charge of the extension
work.
A very important announcement
was made at the club meeting on
Monday by Miss Mary Couch, chair
man of the humane department. She
reported that, commencing the first
of the month, Manager Ross had
promised to set aside Friday night for
children. This leans that during the
evening pictures fit and suitable for
children to see will be given, and no
others. There is to be a Mutt and
Jeff picture, for one, and if this is a
sample of children's night, it is likely
that the grownups will be just as
pleased with the program as are the
children, judging by the number VINO
enjoy Mutt and Jeff. The Friday night
pictures will start at 1880 p. NJ. This
also is important, as it mean the lid
dies can enjoy the program and yet
be in their beds at a reasonable hour.
And now it is for the public to show
their appreciation and endorsement Of
this arrangement, for it is not a fixed
institution as yet. If it is a success, it
will be continued, if not, no one can
blame the theatre management. The
attendance of the public is the thing
that will decide whether or not we are
to have a permanent children's night.
Mr.. H. Hitchcock, one of Hawaii's
favorite artists, had conn from Homo
lulu with some of his paintings, and
gave a talk on the various phases of
artist life and the making of pictures,
illustrating his remarks by use of his
paintings. These were very beautiful,
and were greatly enjoyed by the au-
