So much has been written of the
Damon reception and dance given in
honor of Miss Wall and Mr. Smith at
their beautiful country place, 4Mauna-

lovely lawn leading to the waters edge,
with beds Of tropical plants scattered
about, lending just enough color to
the emerald carpet to make pleasing

cakes-were thoroughly enjoyed.

unflagging in their zeal for the comfort
of the guests, and / could not but wish,
as watched the pretty scene, that Miss
Nav Damon was home to enjoy 1t also.
No party seems complete at Moanalua
without her, and am told she will be
soon here, restored in health. 1t was
an evening long to be remembered, and
ads one more triumph to the glory OF
Moanalua.
