MAUI. Oct. S7.-On the 26th inst,
racs and tstters, holes, patches and
dsrns produced a most hilarious and
Measurable evening, not st Brete
Harte's Poverty Flat" but at the
pleasant home Of Mr.. and Mrs. c. H.
Dickev, OF Haiku. In pursuance Of
directions on brown approximations,
unique, with ragged edges and poor
spelling, the evening lights cleaned
upon not q single glossy shirt front
nor reflected the sheen Of a single
silken gown.
All the AIakawso 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 s crowd Of Tho
hos after a long days tramp, and the
ladies-weIl, with alI the faults Of
toilet, We're most charming still.
Miss Watson, arrayed in all the
poverty OF q dress fashioned from
coarse barging, secured the ladies
prize. snd Mr. q. L. Simpson. clad in
a plethOric costume Of aged dungaree,
wss awarded the genlemsn's.
As dress has much 10 do with the
manners Of society, ii must be stated
that several little COOd-natured tUS-
. y . nd
torn dungaree 10 appear more passe
before the end Of the evening hours.
Games and other diversions were on
the pleasing programme OF events.
