"Sf. P..trick's Day IN t"S
Morning
,snecial TO the ADVERSELY.

potr;ck and Kamehameha III. divid-
od bopors, as far as celebrations are
concerned; the evacuation Of Boston
by the British, a great American
event, received no mention whatso
ever. Several schools kept holiday,
bnt as q rule the citizens of our little
Island were forgetful of the triple
reason which make the day historical.
At Haleakala Hall, Makawao, it
was st. Patrick's Day in the evening,
and dancing feet did honor to his
Saintship till long after the midnight
hour. A happy and artistic garniture
of bunting, ferns and lanterns made
the interior beautiful, and large
party of Makawao young folk caused
the hours to pass right merrily.
Knots of green ribbon, worn by the
ladies and gentlemen below their
pretty buttonieres, gave reason for
the naming of the festivity-a st.
Patrick's party. The music was
spirited, the floor CLASSY with wax,
and the lunch bountlful. Messrs.
Simpson and Garnet, of Paia, made
efficient floor managers, and thanks
are due to Mrs Alexander for the use
of the old-time, classic hall.
A YOUNG PEOPLES SOCIAL.
The last much abused Legislature
is worthy of enconium for one of its
Northumberland of compelling citi-
zens to attach lanterns to their CARR
ages when driven during the hours OF
darkness. Its effect in Makawao has
been to convince people that the dark
of moon is no longer to be feared,
and that a social event is possible
and enjoyable as we'll even when
luna is not shining brightly.
During Tuesday evening, the 14th
inst, the friends and members of the
Christian Endeavor Society gathered
in goodly numbers in the parlors of
the Paia Foreign Church, and on this
occasion the third literary program
me within two weeks was introduced
and we'll rendered. 1t was most in
formal, and consisted of solos, vocal
and instrumental, readings and reel
tations.
Miss Ethel Mossman made pleas
ing debut by reciting some of Ten
nyson's polished and poetical verses;
this was perhaps the most ambitious
effort of the evening.
As receipt for sociability the fol
lowing is to be recommended: Dis
tribute slips of paper and pencils to
your guests, and request them to
search their inner consciousness for
questions humorous on absurd, and
write them on the blanks; collect and
then re distribute the written lnterro-
cations at random; after your friends
have scrubbed ridiculous answers,
collect again and read loudly and
distinctly. Presto = excitement and
great laughter. This was one of the
successes of the evening Of the 18th,
lust before refreshments.
