LAST NIGHTS STATE BALL
In Celebration Of First Anniversary
Of Flag Raising Day.


To Minister Mott-Smith is due
the great success of the reception
and ball at the Executive building
last night in celebration of the fret
anniversary of the raising OF the
American flag in Hawaii.
There was not hitch from
beginning to end. The guests
came, we're conducted to the dress-
ing rooms by the ushers, went into
the throne room ablaze with lights,
we're received by Minister and
Mrs. Mott. Smith and Minister and
Mrs. Damon, and then passed out
to the veraDdas or promenaded
about the ball room enjoying the
beautiful arrangement of floral
decorations and furniture arranged
by Mrs. King and her able assist
ants.
The Ministers aud their wives
who received the guests, stood in
their places at the upper end Of
the throne room, before bank Of
ferns, for about an hour after the
guests arrived, and then mingled
with them, speaking pleasant
words here and there, and making
everyone present feel perfectly at
home.
Then the music started up and
the floor Of the ballroom was i'm
mediately covered by gracefully
gliding couples. Professor Berger
and his boys we're stationed be-
tween the staircase and the ball
room, playing dance music as they
never have before.
Walters in white suits circulated
from veranda to hall bear
ing trays of light refresh
ments and seeing that none re-
NAMED observed. In back, tables
laden with retire shments we're only
waiting for guests to approach.
One of the things most talked
about was the electrical illumins-
ton of red, white and blue lights
that adorned the front of the build
ing, and the American flag that
formed a centre of attraction. The
light was indeed a beautiful one.
Outlined as it was with these
myriad lights, the Executive build.
ing stood out to great advantage.
The floral decorations have
already been dwelt on, so that no
further mention is necessary.
