For 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 1890! This is how they
did it. A most attractive and spright-
ly 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-won.
Very soon after o'clock the street
cars began to empty crowds of prettily
dressed children and young folks at
the corner of Victoria street, with u
go dly sprinkling 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 in 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 not far from four hundred
people.
Not far from the gate a table was
spread with 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 and
| bushes hung scarfs, table spreads and
other alluring things. You could get
all you wanted by handing a 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 "Those are
most taking ladiesw They took about
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
smOpolitan-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 |
cnps one drank from so very success
fully that they allured thirty-six dol
lars and thirty-five 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
AID the silvery voices of Miss Pauahi
Judd and Miss Fuller drew the nickels
from many pockets to see in their
booth the amusing pranks of a perfect
host of brownie McGintys. Before the
fair was over they had sold their funny
folk and had taken in $500.
In perfect bower of beauty, next to
the McGinty show, Miss Carter pre-
sided over the sale of flowers. Leis
and buttOn-hOl bouquets, as well as
beautiful masses of flowers, were in
equal demand and their gIeanings
to S27.
\ merry laugh from yachting lot
of girls drew attention to 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 il Miss Beck.
with, as chief head director, and
merry crew OF girls retailed candy to
the lovers of sweets, and they did ii
well, realizing S3l.1O from their
yachting trip; better th an most fish
ers.
The ringing of q bell drew the
crowd off to one side, and then Albert
Judd and H Try Warehouse prufited
by the arriving spectators brought in
by Henry Judd as the typical 'sand-
witch man, They gave a very credit
able Punch and Judy show. The |
general distress caused by Punch's
cold blooded murders was
relieved most uneXpect dy by the
appearance of dragon, which
gObbed up Mr.. Punch with
out much ado. Marshal Hitch
cock was Induced o look on and took
notes of the prompt way to deal with
offenders. TIL show realized 500 s..
