For a society which was created TO
CLEAN the fields after the harvest of the
many other regular organizations, the
Missionary Cleaners did pretty well
on Saturday. Their total receipts
were about $3.50, This is how they
did il. A most attractive and spright-
" collection Of maids and matrons In
the prettiest and most picturesque
costumes, assumed their most win
ming (they are always winning) man
ners, surrounded themselves with
much that art and taste could sug-
gest and-wou.
Very soon after O'Clock the street
ears began to empty crowds of prettily
dressed children and yonng folks at
the corner of Victoria street, with a
gondly sprinkiing of their elders.
Others came in carriages, some walk
ed, and Miss Gilman, the gate keeper,
had her hands full in more senses than
one, for she took i'll over two hundred
and eighty hapahas, to say nothing OF
the hosts of walters and other assist
ants who were there; so there must
have been rot far from four hundred
people.
Not far from the gate table was
spread with q very pretty display of
fancy work, so called, but all useful
and some necessary. Not the least
of the attractions here were several
collections of amateur Photographic
work On the branches o. trees anu
bushes hung scarfs, table spreads and
other alluring things. You could get
all YOU wanted by handing q little
coin to Mrs. Lowrey or one OF her
assistants. An old bachelor who
walked away with load OF aprons,
bibs, work bags and other useful arti-
cles was heard to remark "Tbose are
most taking Iadiesw They took about
a hundred dollars.
Next this bazaar several very pretty
Japanese ladies were observed laugh
Ing, hiding behind their fans and ex
hibiting other Japanese-and possibly
cosmopolitan-traits Their surround
ings were suggestive also OF that very
artistic people. One was surprised
on inspection to find that this jap
anese bevy resolved itself into Mrs.
Day and several other Honolulu fair
damsels. They offered tea, and the
cups one drank from so very success
fully that they alIured thirty-six dol
lars and thirty-fiye cents out OF many
willing pockets
Near by Misses Mcintyre and Has
singer caused people to rub their eyes
and look around and make sure that
they were in Honolulu and not in the
far Orient of bible times, for thestwo
girls certainly made lovely "Rebeccas
at the WE'LL" and at five cents glass
with an occasional manuahi, they
took sixteen dollars and fifteen cents
for cold lemonade and orange water.
Next TO these wells of refreshing
an amused laugh drew the attention
and the silyery voices of Miss PauahI
Judd and Miss Fuller drew the nickels
from many pockets to see in their
booth the amusing pranks OF n perfect
host of brownie McGintys. Before the
fair was over they had sold their funny.
folk and had taken in $500.
In a perfect bower of beauty, next to
the McGinty show, Miss Carter pre-
sided over the sale of flowers. Leis
and button-hole bouquets, as well as
beautiful masses of flowers, were IN
equal demand and their gleanings
amounted to S27.
A merry laugh from a yachting lot
of girls drew attention to a boat from
the Myrtle club under full sail. But
it didn't sail: it was securely anchored.
An anxious crowd constantly sur
rounded the boat. In it Miss Beck
with, as chief head director, and a
merry crew of girls retailed candy to
the lovers of sweets, and they did IL
well, realizing S31.10 from their
yachting trip; better than most fish |
ers.
The ringing of n bell drew the |
crowd off to one side, and then Albert |
Judd and Harry Waterhouse pronted
by Henry Judd as the typical "sand- |
wich man" They gave very credit |
able Punch and Judy show. The |
general distress caused by Punch's |
numerous cold blooded murders was /
relieved most uneXp-ct diy by the |
appearance of iragon, which |
gobbled up Mr.. Punch with
out much ado Marshal Hitch |
cock was induced % look on and took
notes of the prompt way to deal with |
offenders. This show realized $50 S.. |
People were hungry too and took |
ice cream sherbets and cake TO the |
amount of S64.l0.
Hammocks, tents, tennis and GRO |
quet attracted many and the grounds |
with their pretty decorations, flags, |
banners and other features with the |
sprinkling of moving figures made /
picture not easily forgotten.
Through the courtesy of Admiral |
6kerrett his band was present and /
added greatly TO the enjoyment of the |
occasion. The following programme !
was rendered most beautifully.
