|Leis From Ha1Uaii
Mark Adpertisine
Club Luncheon
By Ruth Dean

| Washington's ice and cold were
forgotten for q few hours at the
luncheon meeting of the Women's
Advertising Club yesterday when
leis from Hawaii turned thoughts to
a land of sunshine and flowers.
The leis we're flown to the Capital
especially for the occasion as the
gift of the guest speaker, Joseph r.
Harrington, delegate from Hawaii.
Mr.. Harrington presented an ap-
peal for statehood for Hawaii,
stressing not only the desire of its
people for full voting representation
in Congress but the strategic adj
vantage of Hawaii's position in
relation to other Pacific islands.
The statehood bill passed the
House last June, Mr.. Harrington
pointed out, but is still pending be-
fore the Senate, which undertook
survey last summer to ascertain
what percentage of the people want
statehood. A total of 234 witnesses
were heard, the speaker declared,
and all but Is wanted statehood for
Hawaii.
| Crossroads Of Pacific"
1--WE in Hawaii have always be-
lieved that Congress would admit
us to the Union when we fulfilled
the qualifications for statehood" he
asserted
"As the crossroads of the Pa
cific, Hawaii has a more important
role to play than to serve as play
ground for the thousands of tourists
who flock to 1t every year." Mr..
Harrington declared. cit is the most
strategically situated land in the
world"
A luncheon highlight was the dis
play of an American flag, redesigned
to include "the forty-ninth State, :"
with seven rows of stars down and
across the blue field.
Sixteen leis, each containing an
estimated 100 carnations, were re-
ceived by lucky members and guests.
Mrs. Jean Ambrose, club president,
was one of the recipients of the
floral necklaces which were present.
ed by Mr. harrington and Pualani,
native Hawaiian and professional
hula dancer. who in private life is
Mrs. Randolf Avon.
| History of Hula Given.
A surprise feature was the clubs
presentation to Mrs. harrington of
an American lei of white carnations,
made by Mrs. Angus M. Taylor, who
with her husband, former United
States attorney for the District of
Hawaii, also was among the guests
of honor.
The program included an enter
tanning history of the hula dance
with interpretations, by Mrs. Blake
Clark. Dressed in an authentic
costume-a long red and white
print with train INSPIRED by the
Godey's Ladies Book of its era)-
Mrs. Clark demonstrated with ges-
lures the symbols for various
phases of Hawaiian life interpreted
in the national dance.
She pointed out that whereas
hula dancers grew their own skirts
in the old days, they now entertain
tourists in cellophane skirts i'm
ported from New Jersey. =
The program was arranged by
Miss Helen Hess. Other guests at
tending the luncheon, held at the
Washington Hotel, included Mr.. and
Mrs. William H. Ewing of Hawaii,
Mr.. Clark, who is writer; Mr.. Avon
and Mrs. George Gould, a native
Hawaiian. -
