ku, from Kahului, SpreckelsVille,
and from all parts of Makawao &C
copied the invitation to a dance is
sued by charming coterie of Maka-
WAC ladies.
Upon entrance, each swain was
greeted after the Spanish custom
with showers of diamond dust
which chung so affectionately to
his coat, his hair and mustache,
and glittered so brilliantly I'M
der the glare of lights, that
his appearance recalled most wildly
either some ancient Christmas tree,
or even old Santa Claus himself.
Then came the dancing fast and fu-
rious-danees Of all sorts, varying
from the lancers 10 the Caprice"
from the German waltz to a Hot
Scotch reel, In fact even the hilarity
of the latter did not satisfy some of
the young men, for during the inter

cases disastrous, efforts were made
to kick tiny hook suspepding from
the ceiling of the dining room.
Many grateful expressions are due
Mrs. Forrest, Miss Voss and Mr..

was in the morning by the bright
light of the moon when each reluct.

"a delightful evening" to Mr.. Bald
