Just Chatting By Margo KAMAAINA KOLUMN By GRACE TOWER WARREN A RENOVATED USO VICTORY It's a good idea to relax after close CLUB will reopen tonight with a formal dance.

The club, the favorite dance spot of men and women of the services, has been closed for six weeks undergoing the remodeling The roof garden, understand, has been done over completely. There's a new bandstand on the makai side of the floor. A white picket fence has been put up around the mauka side- -the idea is to end the congestion of the stag line which has hampered dancers in the past. The ceiling has been done in soft blue, and a cozy atmosphere will be achieved by indirect lighting. All Honolulu girls are invited to attend the formal dance tonight from 6 to only provision is that they wear formal gowns.

As added incentive, there will be transportation for the girls to and from the club upon request. Tonight's dance will set the Victory club dance program in full will be noonday dancing every day swing again. n. Starting Monday there except Sunday, from 11:15 a. m.

Browsing through some beauty literature reaching our desk, we found a lot of excellent hints on how to look and feel better. There is one on resting the eyes. USA, was best man. Ushers were Private First Class James Soong and Private Arthur Doo, both aj of the army. Mrs.

Williams attended her son's wedding in a yellow holoku with an orchid corsage. The reception-luau was given at the George St. home of Mr. and Bernard Oliveira, the bride's brother in law and sister. The bride, who was graduated from St.

Andrew's priory, is employed at American Factors. The bridegroom is a graduate of the Kamehameha school for boys. eye work. The suggestion is that after an hour of this work, you close your eyes and then open them and stare into the distance. After a day at the office or day's work at home, get two cotton pads dampened with witch hazel, get flat on your back, get your legs elevated on several cushions or on the wall, place the pads over closed eyes and relax completely for about 15 minutes.

Allow your mind to relax as much as possible. Don't lie down and try to figure out work to be done. Think of something particularly pleasant; force yourself if you have to. If you fall asleep, all the better. But these few minutes of complete relaxation will make you ready to face a social evening or to greet your husband brightly.

Good posture is one of the most difficult qualities for a lot of women to attain. Slouching makes you look like a tired question mark and when you suddenly sit or stand straight, you feel your back will break. If you will conscientiously sit or stand straight, you will find it a habit after awhile. And for those with that tendency, good posture makes you look slimmer.

Made possible through the cooperation of the USO, local community women and the YWCA, the attractive lounge was accepted by the uniformed guests with pleased surprise, especially when it came to the perky red and white powder room outfitted with every cosmetic designed to lend a glow to the face and a spark to the morale of our girls in the armed services. The only Honolulu center for ennated women, the lounge has springlike atmosphere, with chintzes and solid colors in green, yellow and white, and delicately carved wood grill work depicting Hawaiian plants over the arched entrance. White screens, wrought iron furniture among the upholstered pieces and masses of white and pastel flowers add to the cool, refreshing feeling of the lounge. Here service women who drop in while on liberty or pass find a good, up to date library, information and checking facilities, magazines and writing facilities. But the star of the lounge is the powder bar, which was filled to capacity AS soon as the doors were opened by young ladies intent on gilding the lily just for the fun of it.

Cosmetics, supplied through the courtesy of Elizabeth Arden, range from the usual rouge and lipstick to skin lotions. Most of the girls were torn between dipping into the lavish display and not wanting to touch a thing, "it looks so lovely." Other features of the powder room bound to be a boon to service women are hot showers and ironing board and iron. In the receiving line on opening day were Mrs. J. Platt Cooke, USO territorial director; Miss Grace Steinbeck, general secretary, YWCA; Mrs.

Marion L. Bell, USO director; Mrs. J. Dickson Pratt, chairman of the advisory committee for the lounge; Mrs. Roy M.

Hotel St. Phone 4172 Buy War Bonds and Stamps Party Attended By 900 People The love of Robert Louis Stevenson for Hawaii has become as part of literary history muchne writings of the famed author and poet.

The following is the first of two articles by Mrs. Warren on Stevenson In Hawaii, OF ALL THE KAMAAINA VISITORS who have come to Hawaii's shores none loved Hawaii more nor was more loved by the people of Hawaii than Robert Louis Stevenson. When I first came here in 1906 was taken to the small, two story house on the edge of the sea at Sans Souci-the Hatch property at Waikiki--where he lived and wrote when he was here. Hanging from the ceiling of the lanai was an old ship's lantern which he had salvaged from some ship and the more or less time mutilated figurehead that once proudly adorned the prow of a ship, was a treasured possession. Some years ago the old house was torn down to make way for a more modern building.

When Princess Kaiulani was young girl Stevenson was very fond of her. He used often to be in the extensive gardens which formed the setting of Ainahau, the home of Judge Cleghorn and his wife, Princess Likelike, who were her parents. The letter which he wrote to her when she was in England is gem that has become historic. Years ago a bronze tablet, properly inscribed as a Stevenson memorial, was set in the gnarled trunk of the old banyan known as the Stevenson banyan under whose thick leafed branches the author loved to sit and write. In the second month of the author's visit to Hawaii, at a luau given at the home of Mr.

and Mrs. Henry F. Poor at Manuia, King Kalakaua and the Stevensons were guests. During the evening Mrs. SENATOR THELMA M.

AKANA, at whose lovely Kahals home the nurses' benefit garden party was given last Saturday, is pictured above chatting with a group of service nurses, Lt. Marion Pang, Lt. (3g) Doris Swanson of Seattle, Lt. Ada Boyd of Atkins, Lt. Ann Page of Dallas, and Lt.

Janet Kane of Scranton, Pa. Lt. Pang is of the army and the others, of the navy. About 900 guests attended the affair. Stevenson presented the king with an exquisite golden pearl, and Stevenson read the poem which he had written to commemorate the event, referring to the pearl as "the ocean jewel to the island One of the author's closest and most convivial friends in Hawaii was the late King Kalakaua.

In Monterey, another of Stevenson's favored haunts, lived another close friend, this time a man of low estate, one Jules Simoneau, 85 years old. R. L. S. himselt was rich in friendships, and he chose them from where he would.

In Monterey, a man of the people, humble and poor. In Hawaii, a king, rich and proud. It mattered not. For the spark of friendship, if loyal and true, is the same in any language, in any country, in any circumstance of life, be it in the heart of a peasant or the heart of a king. Spending a weekend once at Del Monte, I was able to browse around the quaint old Spanish Monterey with its adobe buildings, its picturesque fishing village, itsi charming patio gardens.

The places there interested most. My ramconnected with met Stevenson's stay blings finally took me to the modest little home of Old Jules, a white haired, white bearded Frenchman who had known and loved Stevenson in the days when the author was making his headquarters in Monterey. With pride glowing in his bright eyes plete Old autographed Jules showed set of me a Steven- com- n- son's books. On the fly leaf of each was a personal message inscribed in French, which the old man translated for me. "There's not gold enough in the world to buy these hooks," proudly exclaimed the old man.

Akana, and it was gratifying to know that all of the 1,200 tickets issued had been sold. Plans for the program, however, were changed overnight and a new program, themed as a tribute to the late President Roosevelt, was stituted. The gay hulas and songs were given up and in their stead the Policemen's Glee club sang several of the late president's favorite songs, including Home On the Range, and the Royal Hawaiian band played appropriate music. The Rev. Henry P.

Judd, aina clergyman, was introduced by the hostess who explained that the affair already once postponed could not be put over another week, so it had been decided to make the motif of it a memorial tribute to the late president. Mrs. Akana greeted her guests in a stunning hostess gown of petunia crepe which touched the floor, but now and then gave surreptitious peeps at slender bare feet in truly approved Hawaiian fashion. She wore many leis of pink carnations and plumeria and a long spray of exquisite white orchids. With rare skill Miss Alice Arnold had arranged unusually attractive decorations.

In the large living room, open to the sea, and decorated in tones of jade green and chartreuse, she had arranged great bowls of cup of gold, from which radiated dozens of yellow plumeria leis. Stunning great branches of yellow plumeria and feathery papyrus were effectively used in tall floor vases. Mrs. Sam Chillingworth was general chairman of the affair and was assisted by Mrs. A.

R. Tyler and Mrs. Harry Franson. Miss Laura Hooker was ticket chairman, while Mrs. Thomas Gage was in charge of the refreshment committee.

Mrs. Harry Franson was in charge of entertainment, Mrs. Arline Thompson had charge of publicity, Mrs. Lawrence Robinson, chairman of finance, and Miss Alice Arnold decorating. Just a few among the people noticed were Mrs.
