MAUI, Oct. 27.--On the Goth inst,
rags and tatters, holes, patches and
darns produced most hilarious and
pleasurable evening, not at Brete
Harte's Poverty Flat" but at the
pleasant home OF Mr.. and Mrs. G. II.
Dickey, OF Haiku. In pursuance of
directions on brown paper
unique, with ragged edges and poor
spelling, the evening lights cleaned
upon not a single glossy shirt front
nor reflected the sheen of a single
silken gown.
All the Makawao world was there,
aud coats and trousers of dungaree
and bagging sat vis-a-vis to tattered
dresses of seedy calico, faded and worn
many springs ago.
The men resembled a crowd OF "ho-
hos" after long days tramp, and the
ladies--welI, with all the faults of
toilet. were most charming still.
Miss Watson, arrayed in all the
poverty of a dress fashioned from
coarse bagging, secured the ladies'
prize, and Mr.. O.. L. Simpson, clad in
plethoric costume of aged dungaree,
was awarded the gentleman's.
AS dress has much to do with the
manners of society, it must be stated
that several little goOd-natured tus-
sIes caused even tattered calico and
torn dungaree to appear more passe
before the end of the evening hours.
Games and other diversions were on
the pleasing programme OF events.
