E
Yorv fortunate were the favored
friends of Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Wil
cox, who wer-e entertained at a poi
supper at their Kilohana home on
Fridav evening, in honor of Mr. and
Mrs. Alien C. Wilcox, recently
married. It was more than usually,
a notable event. The skill of Mrs.
Wilcox in the matter of poi suppers
and lunches, is well established;
needless to sav the viands were up
to the level of her top-notch ideal
both in quality and cuisine.
There were soiiie !5S or -10 quests
ranged at a long table running the
full length of the great dining room,
all eager for the event, and when
the first pangs of hunger were allay
ed somewhat they assumed the pro
portions of a genially hilarious
bunch.
Mr. A. S. Wilcox set the pace
for the toasts with one of his char
acteristic, original, dry-luunor
speeches, in which he explained
just why they were all there, and
how such an unexpected thing ever
came about. Timely toasts follow
ed rapidlv, from Mr. Stewart, Mr.
C. A. Hice, Mr. W. IT. Mice, Jr.,
and others. In response to a special
call from the host, Mr. Lydgato
rounded up the finish with some
facetious badinage that didn't seem
to hurt anybody's feelings.
Most of the guests remained till
a late hour playing bridge.
Those present at the above poi
supper were: Mr. and Mrs. A. S.
Wilcox, Mr. and Mrs. Allen C.
Wilcox, Col. and Mrs. (i. I'. Wil
cox, Lieut, and Mrs. (!. .1. (ionser.

the Iutejscholastic Soccer league
were played off Fridav and Satur
dav, Mav -1-5.
At Kapaa on Friday afternoon
tlfc Untie school team defeated
Kapaa bv the .score of 2-0. The
Kapaa players kept the visitors
hustling every minute of the plav
but superior playing by the Lihue
forwards made the scores possible.
Kapaa has developed wanderful
ly for a new team and next year
can be counted on to stand up high
in the list.
Lihue school has also played a
fast and exceptionally clean game
and deserves every point it Ins
won.
Koloa oecforined as expected and
sent the Kalaheo team down to de
feat at Jvl; on Friday afternoon.
A large and enthusiastic crowd
turned out to see the final game
and cheered and cheered as the
scores were made.
Manuel Jonquin was again the
star Kalaheo performer and was
well backed up in the attack by
Palama and Vokoiuoto,
Tile Koloa kicking was excep
tionallv strong and the hall was
passed almost the length of the
field on seme of the plas. Gon
salves and Hannuiku carried the
bulk of the Iwttle for Koloa but
were finally supported by their
team mates. The final score was
2-0 in favor of Koloa.'
Kauai Grammar Defeats Elcelc
The crucial contest of the series
was that played between Eleelc
and the Kauai Grammar school at
the High school grounds at Lihue
on Saturday afternoon,
A win meant victory for the
seriestfor Grammar school, while
.a draw would have left the team
tied with Koloa for first place. Had
the game been lost the cup would
have gone to Koloa.
With this incentive the Gram
mar school went into the game to
win and they played with all the
energy and snap that thev could
commend. Eleele was also right
o n edge and played a brilliant
game throughout. .
Eleele won the toss and chose to
kick with the wind. The game
waged hotlv from one end of the
field to the other, and the most
spectacular kicking was shown.
Eleelc has some powerful boost
ers and. they drove the ball again
and again down the field. Sam
Kneo, the Gramma school fullback
showed that he is the strongest
kicker in the league bv returning
the kicks to his forwards some 60
or 70 yards at a time,
In the first half Grammar scored
one goal but fouled on the plav
and it was not allowed. The half
showed the score 0-0.
The second period of play start
ed with Grammar determined to
score and they carried the ball
through the field to a score by bril
liant team work and accurate pass
ing. Mauzi Ouye, the Grammar
captain, put the ball through with
a fine drive taken at full speed.
Ouve has beeii the most consis
tent scorer in the league and has
nlayed the positioned center for
ward brilliantly, as well as managed
his team with judgment and skill.
There was no fuither scoring
during the game although Gram
mai tried a penalty kick.
Eleele is going at top speed now
and the last three weeks lias been
making a fine showing. They
should have a hiuher place in the
league standing Tanaka, the Ele
ele goalkeeper, is one of the best
plavers in the league, while Eddie
Ah Nim and Wong Bunr art both
star plavers and kick the hall splen
didly. The final score was Eleele 0

The Mokihana Wise On Brazil
At the regular meeting of the
Mokihana1 club on Wednesday last,
the ladies of Lihue listened with
much interest to an instructive talk
on Brazil, bv How Marcus K. Car
ver, of Waiinca. Mr. Carver was a
missionary in Brazil for some 25
years, stationed at Manaos on the
Amazon, far up in the interior of
the continent.
His talk was of the intimate, per
sonal and reminiscent kind that is
always interesting; and in addition
he gave the club much valuable
general information about that great
and littlcknown country.
Dim Your Lights
Our attention has been called to
the culpable negligence of many
automobile owners in the matter of
the dimming of head lights. The
law requires such dimming, if is a
simple and inexpensive expedient
and neglect is fraught with great
danger, especially to the other fel
low who is not at all to blame. We
understand that Deputy Sheriff
Crowell is taking strenuous action
in this matter on his side of the
Island; we trust that this means a
similar activity here.
Needle-work at Kapaa School
A communication setting forth
the praiseworthy attainments of the
Kapaa Schools in the matter of fine
needle-work has been lost in the
mails. We understand, however
that it was to the efl'ect that they
were doing some very fine work ti
lling the lines of embroidery, hem
stitching, and other Mich dainty
work, and that one of these days
they were going to have a little sale
which would be a revelation to the
public; and that then would be the
time to lay in some nice things for
LChristiuas.

plimenting Mrs. Johnson. N
Leslie Wishard, who graduates
from the Harvard Law school this
month, has entered the Harvard
graduates trainging camp in con
nection with the University. This
will prevent his return to the Is

tended to do.
Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Baldwin
welcomed a lusty son and heir to
their home in Makaweli, last Fri
day evening. Baldwins are always
welcome in the hind ; our greetings
to this last and least of the family,
and this beginning of a Kauai
branch of the same.
The Homestead Post Office Hies
the national ensign ; so far as we
have seen this is the only post office
on the Island that does; a mighty
good example from humble sources!
Oh you brethren of rthe postage
stamp, where are ou with vour
flags?
Many persons on the Waiinea
side enjoy "tennis" and tea at the
Knudscn's beautiful home every
Thursday. T h e hospitality o f
"Hoea" is synonymous with a good
time. The tennis court is in con
stant use all the afternoon. Bridge
tables are in evidence while others
prefer needlework. The swimming
pool with its sotting of pink pillars,
comes in for a goodly,shareof popu
larity too. Over forty people were
present last Thursday.
Captain and Mrs. Whitjington
and daughter a r e comfortably
located on their homestead, K-.da-heo
niakai, whore they are enjoy
ing life immensely. The simple
life, tho fresh air, the out-of-doors
interests and activity, evidently
agree with them; not in long years
have they looketl so well. They
have gone in mainly for pines, of
which they will have about 100
tons this coining crop. Here's to
success !
Mrs. Cilaisyor of the Kalaheo
Homesteads has a ro.-e garden, a
scientific creation of wire netting
and base hoards and cotton roof
ing; and what is more she has
roses therein, sonic 10 or 30 varie
ties, beauties with lordly French
names that fall lightly from herj
hps; and about the feet of tho rose
bushes there are beds of Sweet
Alyssuni, as white as sheds of foam
breaking on the .shore, and a frag
rant as the breath of IVadiso.
How about a bunch of roses for the
Garden Island!

New Attractions at the Park
Wo congratulate the Kukuiolono
Park management on the fine
avenue of Bougainvillia and Alla
manda leading up from the main
road. Although only in the early
stages as yet, it already gives as
surance of its charm; it will be a
marvel of beauty later.
Because of vandalism committed
at night it has been found neces
sary to close the Kukuiolono Park
at sunset, but it is open in tho day
time notwithstanding a sign, that
is sometimes mistaken to read to
the contrary.
