MAUI, November 25.-One o
the most unique events in the
social history of Makawao took
place last evening Oath instant
on the lawn of Hon. II. 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-tete" chats. At one, conspicuous
in its royal red drapery, epistles,
sentimental or humorous, could be
obtained on payment of a small
fee to the postmistress.
In little tent somewhat con-
cealed from the gaze of the "mad-
dening crowd" 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 a 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 a simple Juvenile play,
entitled "The Magic Slipper IN

dressed in pretty and appropriate
costumes, and did excellently well.
Miss Grace Dickey acted the part
of the wicked queen. Lottie Bald

was Prince Charming, and Walter
Engle was the chief of the five
dwarfs. Part two was a farce
