they can see and get sniff of the
roses. On the 4th inst, Wilson got
his big wagon with six horses ready
and took as many as it would hold
of young people for a trip up the
Volcano road by moonlight, and a
good feed at the end of route, getting
home in the small hours. And next
day some were saying, "Oh, how my
back aches" Others had sides ach-
ing and were generally feeling as
though they did not want to enjoy
the same thing over again very soon.
Some never learn by sad experience.
Next night the young Hawaiians had
the same kind of ride with the same
experience.
On the 10Th inst. there was the
usual church sociable. 1t was held
at the beautiful residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. b. Loebenstein. The house
had been beautifully decorated with
flowers and evergreens, so beauti-
fully that everyone spoke of it, and
it was remarked by many that they
had never seen in HlO house more
beautifully decorated. On entering
the house the first thing that at
tracted ones attention was the beds
of roses at two corners of the parlor,
and then looking up center piece of
roses over the beautiful hanging
lamp, and also on the center table a
hnl ~ In, hn Gid nf l,a
parlor was greenery arranged into
beautiful shapes. The hall and din.
ing room showed some japanese
handiwork of birds made from greens
and flowers. In the grounds there
was tent where those wishing their
fortune told could 90 and have a
good laugh. There was some good
singing and playing, also refresh
ments. l am told it took two whole
days to decorate the rooms. Mrs.
Loebenstein and Mrs. Stevens de-
serve special praise for giving our
eyes such pleasure. Their work was,
l can assure them, fully appreciated.
At last we have a musical and lit
erary entertainment again, and it
seemed in part to make up for the
months when there were none. l be-
heve the committee were Mr.. and
Mrs. Severance, at whose house these
entertainments are given. We shall
ever remember the beautiful music.
The program was as follows: Piano
duet, Miss Wendt and Miss Mitchell !;
Reading, Miss j. Deyo; Vocal solo,
Mr.. A. T. Atkinson; Reading, Mr..
l.. Seversl ace Piano duet, Mrs. Good
ale and Miss Curtis; Reading, Mrs.
w. S. Terry; Piano and violin duet,
Miss Wendt and Miss Mitchell; Rec
itation, Mrs. w. E. Scott; Piano So
10, Miss Wendt; Violin and piano
duet, the Misses Mitchell.
Miss Wendt and the Misses Mitch
ell deserve SPECIAL mention, for their
selections were of the highest order
and performed in mastery manner
to the great delight Of lovers of good
music.
We shall long remember the pleas
ure they gave us. Miss Wendt' s
piano playing was truly artistic and
Miss Mitchell's performance on her
favorite instrument, the violin, was a
trul y grand treat. For one so young
as she to play so beautifully was truly
wonderful. She played like an artist
which she is in every sense of the
word. If she continues to improve
she will be second Camille Urso,
and rank No. among violin players.
When she leaves Hilo she will carry
with her our musical aloha nui and
great thanks for the pleasure she
gave us. So we also say the same to
Miss Wendt. Musical talent is APP
preciated here there is no doubt.
