SSt- The most Pictured: matched tsmsssamsKsmm Open Zmmmmmms a 4 A Island Professor Visits in Florida Prof. Harlow Richardson, formerly with the University of Hawaii in temporary capacity, writes entertainingly of a trip to Winter Park, Fla. Excerpts from his letter follow: "We left Minneapolis after voting on election day. "The next morning we bought the Chicago Tribune with its now famous headlines that Dewey had won. It wasn't until we stopped at Grin-nell college, my alma mater, that we heard the truth.

I HUNTED UP ONE of my University of Hawaii students, a veteran, Kauru Noda, an Atherton House boy. He casually mentioned the fact that he had stayed up the night before till he heard Dewey concede the election. "We thought at first he had made slip of the tongue. This was the first big surprise of our trip. a a a "In my talk with the dean of students I found that Noda is one of the best students in the college.

The dean also said that all the students from the University of Hawaii were, doing very well." a Continuing, Mr. Richardson tells of his visit to the Columbia, home of Dr. Bower Aly, who was head of the speech department at the University of Haw-ui last year, on leave from the University of Missouri. DURING HIS BRIEF visit with Dr. and Mrs.

Aly he attended the christening of their baby son born last May 1. Mr. Richardson stood as godfather for the baby. Miss Jean Ervin, formerly of the speech department of the University of Hawaii, and a classmate of Mrs. Aly's when the two attended Columbia University in New York City, was godmother.

"In Illinois and Kentucky." writes Mr. Richardson, "we followed in the footsteps of Lincoln as much as possible by trying to reconstruct his career. a a a "It made history very real. We also thought of Stephen Foster when wre were in the beautiful old home in which he wrote his famous song of Kentucky. "HERE IN WINTER PARK we find ourselves in a city of 6.000 which has one bank but we are tcld that it has deposits of It ought to be a beautiful city, and it is.

Light Vi Dark Smart Island Winter Wear Apart from the muted gleamin? fabrics and shades that are new this season island women are utilizing the light dark contrast for the winter season. For the teen ager who desires sophistication a navy blue taffeta with the tiniest hint of a bustle and a lower neckline is just right. a a a Navy blue is a versatile, color and much more suitable for the younger set than black, which can often be cold and artificial for a young complexion. With this navy dream that rustles when you walk a single strand of pearls would be all the finishing touch you'd need.

Speaking of pearls and what vou can do with them one of the most strikingly dressed women on the Royal's dance floor the other night was wearing black crepe and pearls. a a a The dress, a straight sheath of black relieved only by a charming beauteau neckline, was highlighted by a large strand of pearls. They were knotted at the neckline and fell clear to the waist. Everyone is familiar with black accented by white accessories. But perhaps you don't realize how equally well white steps in for the winter when it is complemented with black splashes? We saw at another popular dancing spot a girl in a princess dress of white pique dramatized with black gloves and a black velvet ribbon choker.

She was eye-catching. Mrs. K. II. Whit tall, newly arrived wife of the P.ritish consul, were a navy blue shantune dress the other day.

She set if off with a long strand of white shells that gave the effect of a lei. AAUW World Affairs Meet Canceled Due to the illness of the chairman, the committee on world affairs of the AAUW has canceled a meeting scheduled for Monday.

I took my Hawaiian swimming trunks along and had a good time plunging through the breakers at this marvelous beach." i 3 SSI tCSK tSS33SZtSi i (3 mrxrlr i Though they're making their dresses out of window curtains and they're allowed only one egg a person per week (when eggs are available), the women of England are in good spirits. That's what Mrs. Lewis B. Sheen of Honolulu found from talking to "the man in the street" during a five week stay in Britain. She returned by Clipper Tuesday night.

a tt "TOO MUCH TALK of another war" is the main complaint made by the British people today, despite their greatly lowered standard of living, she learned. The English criticize their government for too much interference with private enterprise. Socialized medicine doesn't seem to be popular, especially with the doctors, who feel that it kills initiative. BOB Mrs. Sheen, who was making her first trip to her native England in five years, was impressed by the courage with which the British are cooperating in building up their economy.

a a a "Practically all the good things go for export." she reported, "to improve trade." Aside from parcels of food, clothing and luxuries sent by friends in the United States, the average Britisher has a meager ration. a a a "Now that the war has been over several years, we are inclined to grow lax in sending packages overseas," Mrs. Sheen pointed out. "It touches your heart to see how much joy such a gift can bring." tt tt It's the fad to be shabby, she noted. Women make dresses out of curtains or any material handy, and dress up their costumes with rather extreme hats, which are not rationed.

Rationing makes for mass production of clothes without individuality, so most of the women spend their ration points for ma themselves. A coat requires half of the year's clothing ration points, a suit several more, and even underwear and stockings are rationed. Since shoes went off ration Doints styling of footwear has improved, aitnougn quality is stui poor. a a "EIGHTY DOLLARS is the aver age price for a really nice dress, Mrs. Sheen commented.

The housewife's name is registered with one grocer, with whom she always trades. The current ra tion weekly per person is two ounces each of butter, lard, fats and margarine, and about 40c worth of meat. Tea and sugar are rationed, and fresh milk and eggs are scarce. "Prices seem lower than thev are here." Mrs. Sheen noticed, "but the quality of the food is poor and it is not very nourishing.

a a Mrs. Sheen was in Harrogate at the time Princess Elizabeth's son was born. Although there was no formal celebration there, the peo pie were generally elated. The royal family is very popular. "The consensus seemed to be sympathy for Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, who still hasn't produced a son," Mrs.

Sheen laughed. tt tt a Mrs. Sheen was called to Eng land by the illness of her father. Robert Swift Burgess, whose condition is improved. She flew to London via Los Angeles.

Boston Newfoundland, and Shannon, and on her way home visited in- El Paso and San Diego. She returned in time for the or dination of her husband to the priesthood next Wednesday. The Rt. Rev. Harry S.

Kennedy. D.D., bishop of Honolulu, is to officiate at St. Andrew cathedral. The Friendly Friday group will honor the Rev. Mr.

Sheen with a tea the following Friday from 4 to 6 p.m. in Davies hall. Margaret Kendall Is Betrothed to Donald H. Troxell The engagement of Miss Margaret Suzanne Kendall, 3346 Hay-den and Donald Hugh Troxell, 435-D Walina place, is being announced today by Mr. and Mrs.

Cyrus W. Kendall of Pasadena, parents of the bride elect The wedding date has not been sei. a a Miss Kendall is a graduate of Pasadena City college. Both she and her fiance attended the University of Southern California. She has lived here a year and a half, and is employed in the advertising department of The Honolulu Star-Bulletin.

Mr. Troxell also attended the University of Redlands. He is an employe of Pan American Airlines.

Pilot Club Sends Christmas Gift To Kalaupapa Christmas packages to the Kalaupapa settlement on Molokai were mailed today by members of the Pilot club of Honolulu, a classified service club for business and professional women, according to Miss Carrie Scales, acting president of xne club. These packages contained such items as yarn, piece good remnants, games, and books, all of which had been particularly requested by the patients at Kalaupapa.
