of Mr.. and Mrs. f. A. Schaefer's
young daughter to 4 fancy dress ball
at the Palace last night. Besides the
parents of the special guests large
number of other grownup folks had
been kindly invited by the Queen to
enjoy the rare spectacle. So many
accepted that the borders of the
throne room were thronged with peo.
pie looking at the young folks in
delight equal to that enjoyed by the
latter themselves.
Queen Liliuokalani received the
special guests in grand parade,
standing at the head of the throne
room. Her Majesty was attended by
His Excellency A. S. Cleghorn, Gov
ernor of Oahu, Prince Kalanianaole,
and Ladies' in Waiting Mesdames
Wilson, Carter, Aldrich and Clark.
The Cabinet Ministers, their EXcellen
cies S. Parker, G. N. Spencer, III. A.
Widemann and w. A. Whiting, and
Mesdames Parker, Spencer and Wild
emann had positions on either side.
The Royal Hawaiian Band stationed
on the front veranda furnished the
music.
The children marched in and up
the room two by two, the smallest
taking precedence. Helene Irwin,
four-year old tot, and Tillie
Hoting, bright as the butterflies
they represented, were leaders
of the procession. Major j. w.
Robertson, Chamberlain, presented
the children by name in turn to the
Queen, to whom they all bowed ex-
cept the two little court ladies', Else
Schaefer and Bessie Lawrence, who
gracefully performed the cOurtesies
that some living will remember see
ing their grandmothers do. After
tie presentation q list of II dances
was begun, through which the young
people went with dignity and pre-
cision not always reached by mature
society folks.
1t was pretty enough to see the
ordinary dances performed by a
complete assortment of juvenile sizes
from three to close on to six feet in
stature, arrayed in costumes rich in
material and resplendent in endless
range and combinations of colors
Yet the most taking events of the
evening were probably the Spanish
dance. by Rita Schmidt and Gardit
Macfarlane and the Minuet by Els
Schaefer and Bessie Lawrence
Both dances were done with exceed
ing grace, the pairs being wei
matched, and both had to be repeat
ed in response to continued ap
plause. Miss Atkinson had trained
the little girls for these exhibitions
and has reason to be gratitied will
the way they carried themselves be
fore the company. There was no
the slightest flaw in their perform.
ance. The beating of the castonet
by the Spanish dancers was beanti
fully done.
A break was made in the middle
of the program for supper, which
was served in the dining room to thu
young folks first. 1t is needless tt
say that they enjoyed the repast
which comprised substantials anC
delicacies in profuse variety. Will
growing bodies after all the exercis,
and excitement the plainest refresh
ment would have been relished, 81
that it may be depended on that tn,
royal banquet was justly appreciated
