Dr. and Mrs. H. w. Howard gave a
Tantalus party to number of friends
last Sunday, and certainly more de-
HghtfuI day could not have been chosen
for the jaunt. 1t was cool, with but
slight breeze stirring, and the ascent,
which would have been trying under
other circumstances, was most pleas
ant. A number of the party met, at DR..
Howard's and overlook the remainder
quite a distance up. A rest was taken
at the nursery. Through the hospitali-
~ of Mr.. H. w. Schmidt, who was pres
ent and welcomed the party, his noun
tain retreat, 'Maluhia," was placed at
their disposal. A delightful lunch was
followed by a stroll among the ferns,
gingers and other tropical plants that
grow so Iuxuriantly on Tantalus. The
various spots of interest were visited,
and after several group pictures had
been taken the party returned nome.
