OAHU COLLEGE,.
Reception TO Mrs. MiIIs-A Splen-
did Gathering and a Pleasant
Time.

The hour of 1880 was scarcely
reached last evening until guests
were arriving at the handsome main
hall of Oahu College, Punahou, for
the reception rendered by the trus-
tees and faculty to Mrs. 5. l.. Mills,
of Mills College, Oakland, CAL,
which was founded by her late hus-
band and herself after retiring, some
20 years ago, from the charge OF
the institution now giving her an
honored welcome on the occasion of
brief visit. Lights were placed
along the winding road from the
street through the park to the build
ings, which, with colored lanterns
hung in the verandah arches of the
main hall, lent fairy-like charm to
the classic grove. Excellent taste
was displayed in the decoration of
the building inside and out. Fes-
toons of vines ran along the front of
the verandah; rich clusters of ferns
and foliage, gemmed with flowers,
hung in the doolways; delicate
passion vine, with pendant bouquets,
adorned the chandeliers the walls
were decked with various designs
in verdure and bloom: while the
graceful palm leaf, with harmonious
reinforcement, relieved the corners,
and beautiful bouquets shed delicious
perfume through the apartments.
Rev. W. G. Merritt, principal OF
the College, and Mrs. Merritt were
kept busy for time in receiving
guests, and were aided with zest in
dispensing the hospitalities of the
