The Cleaners are all wearing very
happy countenances at present, for
their lawn party at Haalelea Lawn Sat
urday afternoon, an event for which
they worked with the energy that has
characterized all their former efforts at
gathering funds for Christian work,
was a success beyond the hopes of the
most sanguine.
As soon as the gates were opened at
d. m, people began to arrive, and at
o'clock the grounds were comfortably
filed. Without counting those who
had charge and assisted at the various
tables. there were 800 people present.
The work of the Cleaners in putting
I'D attractive booths and identifying
the grounds in various ways showed
to good advantage and brought forth
frequent expressions of merited praise.
The Hawaiian Band, stationed just
to the right of the entrance, played de-
lghtful selections during the afternoon,
which had the effect of putting every
one in very happy mood, especially
when Company d Minstrels" was
played.
To the left and near one of the large
trees on the lawn was the lemonade
stand. calculated to entice the thirsty
visitor. Miss Ellen Hopper and Miss
Derby were in charge.
Next to this was the children's Ia
BILE. presided over by Miss Harriet Lew
ers, who was assisted by Miss Campbell,
Miss Hartwell, Mrs Basford and Jen-
ME Angus The booth was decorated
with white muslin and branches of the
pepper tree. Here were the festive
Brownies peeping forth in many dec
oratious, the irresistible top, the col
ored toys of various kinds and all little
articles calculated to bring joy to the
hearts of children.
Standing next TO this, out in the cen
ter of the lawn, was the flower booth,
by right and by common consent the
prettiest ON the grounds. Bulrushes
for the lower part and cocoanut leaves
for the top. and all this bound about a
frame of algaroba branches, gave to the
booth the decided appearance of rus
ITCHY. Here and there in places calcu-
lated to present the most artistic ap-
pearance, were placed punches of lilies,
white and purple asters or other beau
tiful flowers, while intertwined among
the cocoanut leaves and hanging grace
fully from various points were sprays
of vines. A long table at the mauka
side of the booth was simply laden with
MALE, lima and other kinds of leis. to-
gether with punches of various flowers.
To the right was smaller table entire
ly given up to button-hole bouquets
Misses Sadie Carter, Pauahi Judd, Mary
Carter and Clara Fuller were kindly
assisted by Messrs. VIM. Levers, Arm
strong Smith, B. Marx and Ensign H.
did much of the decorating.
Opposite the flower booth, on the
other side of the driveway, was the re-
freshment tent, an indispensable part
of the lawn party. Mrs. Kleugel, Mrs.
Richards, Mrs. Thurston and Miss
Sexton were assisted by a number
of girls, who waited most gracefully on
the ice-cream-an cake seeking part of
the visitors.
On the mauka part of the grounds
and nearest the stone wall was a table
prettily arranged under a bread-fruit
tree and laden with candy in little pa
per boxes. All the sweetmeats disap-
peared long before the end of the party.
Mrs. T. W. Hebron, Mrs. A E. Nichols,
Misses Patty and Smith were the ladies
who had charge of this table.
Next came the paper booth, with Mrs
H. H. Williams, Misses Girvin, Hustace,
Kelley and Alexander in charge. This
place was one of the main attractions
of the afternoon on account of the fine
work in paper that has lately become
such an industry.
The tea garden under the palms was
presided over by Mrs. Jordan. Mrs. Cha
pin, Misses Ada Whitney, Ethel Rice
and Edith Bond. Many cup of the de-
lightful beverage was taken in this
pretty little spot.
The fancy table, just mauka of the
house, was covered with Hawaiian and
American flags artistically draped.
Mrs. Ned Jones and Miss Agnes Judd
TO the wants of people here,
and succeeded in taking in the largest
sum of money of any table on the
grounds
Misses Gilman and Forbes attended
the gate.
The reception committee was com
posed of Mrs. Parmelee, Mrs. N. Da-
mon. Miss Judd, Misses Belle Carter
and lnie Forbes. and the executive |
of Miss Bolles and Miss
Rhoda Green.
The main feature of the afternoon |
was the Floral Rainbow" in charge |
Of Misses Snow, Sorenson and Gilman. |
1t was given twice during the after |
noon.
But few OF the people present had any /
idea of what the entertainment was to /
be, and were consequently agreeably /
when they saw four littla /
girls dressed in red come marching out /
Of the front door of the house. They /
took their stand before the mound situ-
ated in front Of the house and recited |
4 verse on the roses, finishing by sing
ing little song on the same subject,
and walking up on the mound, the tall
sst girl at the top and ranging on down
