tty contralto voice of Miss

Pemaiden in all her purity ,piety
Padery, and she made Priscilla
Quite cunning and arch in the
suffering of the lines, "Speak for
yourself, john"
The tableaux, "John Alden and
Priscilla" was 80 interesting as to re-
ceive recall.
Number five was reading, "The
Children's Hour" by Mrs. Beckwith,
which aroused sentimental thoughts
of "home and mother"
The tableaux of faxen haired
children, "Storming the citidel of the
poets heart" elected applause. Miss
Milly Beckwith rendered that solo so
pregnant with old-time memory and
deep pathos, 1.-THE Bridge" most
alphabetically.
Then Mrs. Gulick read extracts
from the poetic story of the sad and
beautiful Evangeline, which recital
was foN owed by a suitable tableaux
(the silhouette of the young lady
posing as the heroine being of
striking Evangelinesque order.
The next was quartette, com

Chas. Baldwin, Lindsey and Nicoll.
They sang the frolicsome song, "Be-

!, young lady and gentleman-showed
I hat they have had considerable ex
: hcsrience in the "motif " of the piece
ee-fckleness and coquetry. The piano
!, solo by Miss Lottie Alexander,
though not a la Longfellow, exhibit
ted fine artistic touch and called
forth an enthusiastic encore.
The recitation "Hymn to Night"
was prettily and simply executed by
Miss May Baldwin.
The representation of Nox, god
dess of night, by a young lady of
brunette style robed in black gauze
with golden stars and crown which
the flame of the traditional torch
made luminous, was perhaps the
most effective living picture of the
evening.
The quartette "Stars of the Sum-
mer Night" from the Spanish Stu
dent brought to an end the "poetic
frenzy" of the occasion.
After the historic sandwich had
been nibbled and the anti-soporific
coffee slipped the guests departed,
long to remember-the night when
the cares that infested the day did
fold their tents like Arabs and as
silently steal away.
A HALLOWEEN PARTY.
The evening before All Saints
Day was charming with its ''sweet
moonlight, kiss moonlight" las the
native song goes) and surely the
Makawao young people riding or
driving to Mrs. III. G.. Alexander
mansion appreciated fully the first
part of the sentiment, as for the last
-uuien sabe? Apples, almonds,
vinegar, sugar and waterfall acted
important parts in the evenings
play. The first is a tickle, aggravat
ing fortune teller, and few lads OF
lassies would e'er obtain sweethearts
if they had beforehand to bite the
fruit swinging on cord or catch it
bobbing tantalizingly on the waters
surface. Sugar, vinegar and water
in bowls were the accessories for q
sort of q Portia casket scene, into
one of which receptacles the victim
after being blindfolded and confused
as much as possible was commended
to dip his finger-if he touched
sugar then his life's vis-a-vis woulC
be charming; if the vinegar, of soul
temper; if the water, then his lol
would be deplorable-one of single
wretchedness. As for the almonds
they of double kernels meant phllo
pena.
Many other humorous tests, larks
and games finished up most pleas
urable evening.
