kEALIA, Kauai, Nov. 2O.-Perhaps
one OF the pleasantest little social
events Of the season at Kealia was a
stag dinner given by Stephen G. o.
King. Tuesday evening, November II,
in honor of William Jennings Bryan
of Nebraska, Z. S. A, who Mr.. King
innocently believed would be the sue
cessor of Mr.. Cleveland as chief of the
greatest nation on earth. Happy mis-
take for Mr.. King as far as this dinner
was concerned, for he was in posses
sion of magnificent ten-dollar appe-
tite and enjoyed the spread, which
might not have been the case had the
truth been known to him.
This was a political dinner, unique
in many respects, and a success that
deserves a brief description.
The table was laid with silver, crys-
tai and fine china for four. The dec
orations were extremely artistic and
consisted of red, white and blue silk,
and maiden-hair ferns, very prettily
arranged. The boutonnieres were of
red and white carnations done up in
blue silk bows.
Of the guests, the venerable Mr..
Thomas Cummins occupied the seat
of honor at the head of the table. OPP
posite to him was H. 2. Austin-these
two gentlemen are staunch Mckinley
gold men. Stephen G. o. King sat
on the right of Mr. Cummins, with
George Mundon opposite as his politi-
cal support, they both being ardent ad-
mirers of Mr.. Bryan and most emphat-
ie white metal men. And thus the tor
ture began.
Two of Kealia's most charming
young buds just poisoning into
womanly loneliness, en- costume, one
an exquisite petite blonde as gold
bug" the other a brunette of rare
sype of beauty as silver bee" waited
upon the table and looked after the
wants of their respective partisans,
and served them most gracefully with

There was choice instrumental and
vocal music during the entire course
of this excellent banquet and in ad-
dition Mrs. King RECALLED the company
with a number of exquisite classical
selections on the piano, with an occa-
sional Yankee Doodle"
Afterwards Mile. Tommie Timmins
entertained the company with a very
graceful dance-a la the adorable Elsie
Adair, Honolulu's fayorite. The above
young lady is a recent acquisition tc
Healia society, and will favor Homo
lulu with brief season after she has
terminated her visit with Kauai.
Politics was then the order of the
evening; the great question of the houl
being discussed in all its bearing upoI
life and society. And although thu
arguments for and against, were a
times quite spirited the best of gooC
feeling prevailed to the end of this un
