A Garden Party at Haiku-A
Fatal Accident-Strsy
ScribblinEs, etc.

the most unique events in the
social history of Makawao took
place last evening (24th instantly
on the lawn of Hon. n. P. Bald
wins residence at Haiku. 1t was
a garden party under the rays of
the round monthly moon.
A still, warm atmosphere favored
the occasion, causing the mellow
light of the Oriental lights to shine
steadily, and contributing to the
comfort of the one hundred and
more guests.
Gay booths constructed of richly
colored material, or protected by
mammoth japanese umbrellas,
dotted the greenwood in an artistic
way. At some of these sandwiches
and coffee, tea and cakes, and
candy and lemonade were dis
pensed by fair hands, while in
others tables were arranged for
guests desiring to indulge in ''tete-
a-teten chats. At one, conspicuous
in its royal red drspery, epistles,
sentimental or humorous, could be
obtained on payment Of small
fee to the postmistress.
In a little tent somewhat con-
cealed from the gaze of the mad
dening crowd" a mysterious AL
gerian read the cards for future
and past events; pretty girls in
Japanese costumes might have been
observed here and there, while the
flower maidens, with their baskets
of fragrant ,buttonieres, should not
be forgotten.
However, the chief point of at
traction was sort Of a natural
amphitheatre, bounded by semi
circular rows of chairs which faced
an elaborate little stage built Of
canvas, with foot-lights, fireplace,
and other Necessary accessories, not
emitting the green curtain stretched
between two royal palms.
The first part of the programme
consisted of simple juvenile play,
entitled "The Magic Slipper" in
five scenes. The children were
dressed in pretty and appropriate
costumes, and did excellently well.
Miss Grace Dickey acted the part
of the wicked queen, Lottie Bald
win was Snowdrop, Fred Baldwin
was Prince Charming, and Walter
Engle was the chief of the five
dwarfs Part two was a farce
Two Deaf Men Translated from
the French by Miss Mary Alex
ander especially for the occasion.
1t was well received, and created
much amusement. The dramatis
persona were:
Mr.. Donvil. ...................C. H. Diekey
Miss DOnYil-AIiss II. NJ. Chamberlain
IOiDette..... Miss Paris
MIR. Slafton..... ........... D. c. Lindsay
1t was Miss Chambelain's debut
before Makawao people, and she
acted her character in a pretty,
c0quettish way. The other charac.
ters were taken by old favorites,
and of course were successfully
rendered.
Credit should also be given to
the Paia glee club for their many
songs, and complimentary men
ton made of a quartette, (Messrs.
Dickey, Lindsay, Nichol and Bald
VIM who rendered the song Hard
Times" most charmingly.
There were present quite a num-
Der of people from Spreckelsville, /
Kahului and Wailuku.
The financial results of the af- /
fair are to be devoted to charities 4
by the Ladies' Aid Society who /
are to be thanked for the evenings +
