Good things to satisfy the inner
man and charity were very closely
allied last evening, when the w. G.
T. L. gave a New England dinner
at Haalelea Lawn for those who
most willingly paid the small sum
required of them at the gate. The
lawn and front veranda of the
house were prettily decorated for
the occasion A large number OF
people were present. Young ladies
attired in Martha Washington cos
tunes waited gracefully on the
tables. The w. C. T. L. and Y. w.

from the dinner. Mrs. E. w. JOr-

worthy of special mention.
Opening of the Beretania Tennis
Club house this afternoon. Mrs.

music for the occasion. A large

be present.

The engagement II. A. Isenberg

The question among many Of the

going to give a return party for the
delightful leap-year event of Tues

Another leap-year party to be
given Friday night will be the
event of the week.
