MAKAWELI (Kaua), Nov. p.
Belleview7 the home OF Mr..
and Mrs. Morrison OF Maxwell
plantation, was the scene Of a
pleasant reception given in honor
OF the new pastor OF the Waimea
Foreign church on Friday, Novem-
Der odd. The entire district was
represented, some having come
long distances to meet the new
clergyman, whose arrival Is vel
coined by all in the district.
After the introduction Of guests
Mr.. Morrison made few appro-
pirate remarks and called upon Mr..
Omsted to open the program for the
evening with a piano solo. This
was followed by violin solo by
Miss McGrew, Miss Boyer accom-
PIANIST. 1t is seldom Makaweli
people have the privilege OF listen
ing to two such artists as Miss Nc
Grew and Miss Boyer, and the
music OF this evening Will long be
remembered here.
The recitation OF "Charley La
tham's Pard" by Mrs. Scott had a
good effect. Following this was a
solo by Miss Boyer, with violin
obligato by Miss McGrew, the able
rendering of which brought forth a
Scotch song as an encore. Next
was a selection from Essay on
Self Reliance" read by Mr.. Percy;
then a piano solo ''Kammanoi
Ostrow" beautifully executed by
Miss Boyer. Mrs. Ogg then de-
lighted the guests with a reading
"True to Brother Spear" followed
by vocal solo, "The Night Has a
Thousand Eyes" so well rendered
by Miss McGrew as to call forth
enthusiastic demands for an en-
core.
The next item on the program
was a reading by Mrs. Morrison,
the popular hostess, who on this
occasion completely eclipsed all her
previous records in originality.
Before proceeding, Mrs. Morrison
as an excuse, for not having had
time to finish her paper, and which
only wanted the addition of a few
adjectives, called upon her guests
TO shout out. each in their turn, a
simple adjective, which she filled
in, in the bank spaces of her read
ing, a few extracts from which are
quoted below: Ladies and gentle
men, not very long ago on the
SILLY" island of Kauai in the
''stupendous" district of Waimea, |
the spicy" people lost their
"sharp" minister, who was pro !
digous" man, and whose departure |
was deeply regretted by all the
breezy subscribers. Word came |
to our beautiful" secretary, that
the "kind" trustees call had been |
accepted by the Rev. Mr. Massey,
who would be with his terrible
people soon. We were afraid that
the vicious cholera reports and
the tiny" quarantine regulations
might delay his coming, DC. &c
The rest of this original reading
was equally comical and was
brought to a close, by the hostess
offering in the name of all present
a cordial and hearty welcome to
the new pastor, expressing the
hope that this work would be
pleasant and so successful, as to
leave him no possibility of regret
at leaving his late charge.
"Chanson D'Amour," by Miss
McGrew and Miss Boyer, with
violin and piano, was a beautiful
finish to the list OF items on the
program.
The next twenty minutes were
taken up enjoying the delightful
ice cream and cake, coffee and sand
witches, so bountifully supplied.
Before bringing to a close one of r.
the most enjoyable evenings spent |
on the Garden Isle" each OF the
guests received a numbered card
with a separate slip of paper, on
which was the name OF an animal J
Of which the owner had to make a
sketch on a blackboard put up for c
the occasion. The name OF each I
sketched had to be g
guessed and added to the card sup I
piled, prizes being offered for the q
two whose cards represented the +
highest number OF guesses. Two
prizes were also presented to the i
lnlucky pair who possessed the b
cards with the least number OF cor
rect guesses. The result was Mrs. Il
Scott. first Iady's prize ; Mr.. Bald :
win, first gentleman's prize Mrs.
Perry and Mr.. Hodges, BOBBY prizes. {
