DELIGHTFUL DANCE.
Party by Mr.. anA Nrs. Alex. Young
ia Honor OF IeT. It. &. MOnteagie.

A gay and festive event yesterday
evening was dance given by Mr..
and Mrs. Alex. Young at their resi-
dence, King street, i'll honor of Mr..
r. G. Monteagle. The honored
guest is a well-known society young
man, popular from his excellent So
ciaI qualities and his able participa-
ton in amateur opera and other
musical entertainments. He will be
long remembered here for his good
performance of the title role in "The
Mikado." Mr.. MonteagIe, who is
employed as draughtsman at the
Honolulu Iron Works, is shortly
going away to take position in a
Philadelphia establishment. 1t was
in view of his departure that Man
ager Young and his amiahle gudewife
thoughtfully placed their house and
their hospitality at his disposal, to
enable him to meet his friends in a
farewell good time"
The spacious garden was all ablaze
with colored lanterns, hung in the
palms and shrubbery. Likewise the
verandas and upper balcony were
profusely invested with iridescent
grandeur. From every point of view
the effect was one of dreamland
beauty. Within, the reception rooms
were brilliantly lighted, contrasting
in striking effect with the dancing
areas, which, under subdued light
and draped with flags, suggested the
idea of corridors to fairy castle.
A novelty, that could not be pro-
duced in any other Honolulu house
without the aid of stage carpenter,
consisted in a lamp burning brightly
in the real fireplace lately added to
the front paror, the chimney Of
which, showing its full length on the
exterior of the house, is an object of
curiosity to all passers-by.
AS the guests arrived they were
presented to the host, hostess, and
guest of the evening in the parlor.
Soon after 8 o'clock dancing began in
the dining room and adjacent lanai.
Music was supplied by Prof. Berger
and detachment of the Royal Or
chestra. Before | O'Clock all were
served with chicken salad and other
toothsome viands, followed by delci-
Gus ice cream, sherbets F., and ice cream
bricks - Mr. Steiner of the Elite
Ice Cream Parlors being the caterer.
Beautifully decorated cakes were
sacrificed on the occasion. Novel
ties among the reflections were ice
cream chickens and other figures in
the same perishable material. Mild
beverages were available close to the
dancing rooms all the evening.
After refreshments the order of
business for the evening was re-
sumed, and kept up merrily till mid
night. In the course of the evening
Mr.. Young, at hint from prylng
newspaper blade; conducted the in
quisitive one and other 'wall shrubs
over the house, showing them the re-
novations made a few months ago,
which practically made the old family
''roof tree" new structure. The
visitors admired the roomy and COM
modious chambers, including four
bedrooms, in the second story added
to the fabric The snug balcony in
front, among other picturesque addi-
tions to the mansion, is very taking
rest-place. A hall running the depth
of the house affords a generous cir
culation of air, a blessing particu-
larly when the sc oldrums" are IN
season.
