history OF Maui social affairs occurre,
at Haleakula Hall, Makawao, oil
Tuesday evening, August 2Sth. Il
was a masquerade party-the only
one within q decade of years-in pre-
paration for which during months
past the fair ones OF the district hav,
been consulting mantua-makers, COS,
tuners and fashion plates, ancient
and modern, foreign and domestic
The rule in regard to great expecta
tions WAS this time proven by the eX-
ception. The party was brilliantly
successful. Forty or fifty masked
faces Of beings, picturesquely garbed
pr0menaded under the mellow light
OF Chinese lanterns pendent from the
Tafters Of the old hall, itself incognitc
with profuse decorations of beautiful
evergreen.
On the wall near the musicians was
the legend "Aloha-M. c." lAIistletoe
Club, and in front Of the platform
was this announcement:
"When the bell rings, take your
partners. When the music begins,
then dance. Grand March. l. Ian
GERS > Virginia Reel. 3. Lancers.
4. Waltz. >. Dan Tucker. s. Line
up and unmask.
The directions, a Ia bulletin, were
faithfully performed, and at the un-
masking wonder, establishment and,
IN some cases, horror were sensations
prevalent among both maskers and
spectators.

coffee al l2-mOre dancing, and per
maps il is prudent not to mention the
hour OF gOodbyes and grateful words
