Dowager Kapiolani, for the benefit
of the Kapiolani Maternity Home
was an unqualified success in every
particular. The Armory was most
tastefully decorated with palms,
ferns and fragrant flowers. Over
head a perfect canopy was fur
nished by artistic flag decorations.
The flags of the world were repre-
sented adding more beauty to the
already handsomely decorated in
terror. Four tables for the public
extended the full length of the
hall. They were prettily arranged
and laden with all the tempting
Hawaiian viands that could be
devised. The royal table was
placed at the Waikiki end of the
building where Her Majesty could
have good view of everything
going on.
Long before the time of COM
mencement people came in large
numbers, and at 2 o'clock when
the Hawaiian Band commenced
their first number the Armory
was comfortably filled with young
and old, rich and poor. Six young
ladies stood at the main entrance
selling leis and button-hole bou-
quets. They did remarkable
business owing to their persistent
efforts for the cause of charity. 1t
is safe to say that very few gentle
men entered the hall without pur-
chasing a lei. The girls would not
take mo" for an answer, with the
result that they Melted a handsome
sum of money for worthy chart
table cause. Their names are ::
the Misses Mary and Hattie Nc
CURE, the Misses Helen and Car
RE Along, and the Misses Annie
and Maggie Dawson.
During the day the ice cream
booth was also a small mint, as no
young man who possessed fifty
cents was allowed to depart with
out first spending it. This impor-
tant branch was presided over by
Mrs. Capt. A. Fuller, the Misses
Ward, Mrs. S. G.. Allen, and Mrs.
DR.. McWayne.
The coffee stand was directed by
Mrs. e. S. Cunha and Mrs. G. N.
Spencer, assisted by. a bevy of
young ladies. They all did their
share towards the substantial re-
suit of the day.
About half-past 2 o'clock the
Hawaiian and U. S. F. S. San Fran
cisco bands struck up Hawaii Po-
moi and the royal party entered.
Her Majesty the Queen was es-
corted to her chair by Major J. w.
Robertson, Her Majesty's Cham
berlain. The royal party included
FL. R. H. Prince Kawananakoa,
His Excellency Samuel Parker
Hon. John Richardson, and ladies'
in-waiting Mrs. c. B. Wilson and
Mrs. Chas. Clark.
After Her Majesty was seated
the luau commenced amidst enjoy
able music furnished by the Ha-
waiian Band and the band of the
u. S. F. S. San Francisco. Owing
to the excellent management dis
PLAYED there was no confusion OF
any kind, everybody was pleased
with the good things offered whe
ther they were Hawaiian or for
eign.
At the Royal table, on either
side OF Her Majesty the Queen
Dowager, sat Their Royal High
nesses Princes KaTananakoa and
