Auto Club Holds
Successful Run

The initial outing or the haual
Automobile Club was a signal sue
cess, which outran even the most
confident expectations of its pro-
moters.
They Gather in From Far and Near
In accordance with the program,
carloads of happy cutters from all
sections of the island began to roll
into Hanalei about 10 o'clock, and
came thick and fast, and in such
numbers that finally parking space
was at a premium.
Ideal Hosts
Mr.. and Mrs. w. f. Sanborn plac-
ed their beach house at the disposal
of the party, which was very well
come convenience, and they them
selves made most genial and kindly
hosts.
Hanalei at its Best
The day was phenomenally beau
tiful and Hanalei was at it's best.
The sea was most inviting, with
quite enough surf running to give
zip and zest to the swimming and
it soon became evident that there
was plenty of both, even close in
shore, while farther out there was
quite Of spice of danger.
Most of the young people, and
some who were not SO young, went
in, while there was good sized
old folks row lined up on the beach
to enjoy it as spectators.
On to Hanalei, and the
Beauties on the Way
Rather reticently they heard the
call of the outing leader, "All aboard
for lunch at Haena!"
The trip thither along the coast,
overlooking the tumbling waves and
rock-bound reefs and sandy reaches
below, is one of the finest that can
be seen in Hawaii, or, indeed, any
where else, and was at it's very best
on this occasion.
A Romantic Spot for Lunch
The Dry Cave of Maninihola was
the selected spot for luch, and prov
ed a most delightful place for that
purpose. 1t is in front of the great
cave, with it's dark and cavernous
depths, and under the fine grove
of kukui trees, which have grown
up there, with the precipitous beet.
ling cliffs overhead, and glimpses
of the blue sea out through the
trees.
There is plenty room there for
the largest outing party that will
ever lunch there, but it could be
very much improved by clearing off
loose rock. The crowd broke up
into groups according to affinity
and lunch arrangement and devoted
themselves very assiduously to the
toothsome viands they had brought
for the space of half an hour or So
An Old Hawaiian Story 4.
They were then rounded up to one
central point, and Mr.. Lydgate gave
them a Hawaiian story about the
three outstanding rocks near by,
which were ancient demi-gods, Pc
hakuakane, Pohakuloa and Kauwa
who swan in one night, all the way
from Kahiki, in the South Seas
bound forWaialeale. but who were
overtaken. just as they landed, by
the breaking day, and like Lots
wife of old, were turned to stone.
To the Wet Caves
The next number on the program
was the Wet Caves at Kanaloa ant
Waiakapalai, a couple of miles or Sc
farther along and beyond the reacl
Of automobiles. A goodly number
some 25 or 80, lined up under tbs

Flapper Wins Out
OUer Old Time Girl



and led off with a clever maneuver in
which she admitted the virtues. Of tn"
Victorian damscl. but added that the
modern girl had all those virtues and n
few more. which she then proceeded to
enumerate.
Grace of limb and body. SO charac-
teristic Of the modern girl, she said
are possible only because of the abol-
ton Of the unnatural. constrained, un-
hygienir. unbeautiful dress Of the Vic.
torian era.
The modern girl also has the virtue.
insisted Mrs. Sutherland Brown, of
being perfectly frank with her faults
and foibes. whereas the Victorian girl
had them, but .arcfully concealed them.
The girl today is independent, scorn-
ful OF gossip and all petty things.
and has truly Spartan indifference to
praise or censure.
In conclusion. Mrs. Sutherland
Brown said. IL any one thinks that the
modern girl is lacking in charm, let him
or her be confronted with q representa-
rive specimen.
Models OF Both Periods
Following out this line of thought
she summoned to the platform three
Young ladies dressed in the modern
fashion. as opposed to the three who
were garbcd in the Victorian dress on
the other side Of the platform. Mrs.
Thomas Linder, Mrs. Leslie F. Milford
and Mrs. George II. Sullivan appeared
and furnished excellent proof OF the
strength Of her contention.
Mrs. Starr also produced material
witnesses in support of her claims for
the SUPERIOR charm of the old fashioned
girl, and Mrs. Pennington II. Way,
Mrs. Kenneth s. Lueders and Mrs.
Eycritt G.. barnard advanced, quantity
and beautifully dressed in the fashions
of the time.
Apparently non -plussed By these
arguments. the jury retired to secret
place to Judge the matter. those in
cluded being Countess Santa Euiaiia,
chairman; Mrs. II. l.. Prcntiss
Nichols. Mrs. l. II. O'Hara and Mrs.
Reed McIntire.
Shortly thereafter came the verdict.
While awtiting the decision of the
Judges. Mrs. Blankenburg remarked,
anent the Sesqui- Centennial. tha'
women had done a great deal in fur :
therance of the last exposition in 1916,
and that their work should be surpassed
on the present occasion.
She also expressed the hope that the
Parkway and Fairmount Park site
would be chosen. and that some means
would be found to clean up the SChu!l'
kill River and make il presentable foI
the inspection Of the many VISITORS.
