GREAT SOCIAL EVENT.
Reception by Mr, and Mrs., ",
c. Wilder.
Combined Birthday, House
warming and New Years
Party.
Description Of the Mansiom--iist of
the GuCSts,


Mrs. ". G. Wilder's reception at
their nlndsome new house, Makiki, |
last night. Although the family |
have been occupying the mansion |
several months, several clrcum-
stances made the postponement OF |
the se-warming desirable. When |
the date was selected for the event 1t |
was one having triple significance.
1t was the initial holiday Of the year
and it was Mr.. Wilder titty-seventh |
birthday, as well as the rendering
of the hospitalities of his beautiful
new home to society.
The reception opened at O'Clock
and the spacious rooms were soon
thronged. Mr.. and Mrs. Wilder re-
ceived the guests in the parlor, their
sons Gardner h, Chauncey and
Charles being the ushers. Mr.. Hugh
Gum and Miss Agnes Walker at
tended on the host and hostess, pre-
senting guests when required with
accomplished grace. IL was Miss
Walkers birthday too, and she was
congratulated by the Sc in the secret.
As the procession passed on 1t dlNld-
ed into groups in the various rooms,
making a great buzz of seasonable
greetings and cheerful conversation.
Over an hour sped along with this
animated scene, while the Royal Ha-
waiian Band played on the outside.
Dancing was next in order. A
large lanai rooted with iron, enclosed
with draperN of flags, and tloored in
the most finished way, had been
erected on the north faE X of the rear
wing for the ball. AT every number
the floor was thronged with dancers,
to whose light-trippng feet the
Royal Orchestra gave time and tune.
The scene was truly enhancing
one, the gay dresses Of danes and
! damsels intermingling in bright re-
lief with the sedate evening apparel
of the old and young lords OF crea-
ton. and here and there the gold
lace and epaulets of Uncle Sam S
nav, contributing their sheen to the
kaleidoscope picture.
There was pause in the reveIry
at the middle Of the program, when
the dining room was thrown open for
the service of refreshments. This
revealed an abundant and elegant
collation., covering a wide range OF
fine products of the culinary art,
from which the most eccentric palate
or the most iitful appetite could not
fail to make an agreeable selection.
The feast was prepared under the
supervision of Steward Mariana OF
the British Club, which is enough
said as to its superb quality. Coffee,
tea, lemonade, ice cream, sherbets
and cognate reflections supplemented
the more solid factors of the ban
quet When all appetites had been
demolished the dance was resumed,
closing with the end of 1925 first
day.
