Mid=Widter Fair.

One of the most pleasant and pro-
fitable gatherings of the season was
the mid winter fair given by the Ladies
Aid Society of the Methodist church,
Wednesday evening, in the church
parlors. On first entering the church
beautiful scene met the gaze of each
and every guest, that reminded them
of the streets of Carlo or some mid
way" The rooms were encircled with
neat and tasty booths, where wares,
fixtures, furnishings, eatables and etc.
were temptingly displayed, presenting
the appearance of the work of an ar
tistic hand.
The first booth as we entered was
presided over by Mesdames Grace Full
lerton and Rose Roberts, where ice
cream and cake was temptingly dis
played so as to attract the attention of
the hungry.
In the center of the circle of booths
was a candy stand full of all kinds of
sweets cared for by Mesdames II. M.
Talbot and D. G. Mott. Just beyond
was the kitchen booth looked after by
Mrs. Humphrey and Mrs. A. II. Dolla-
hide. They had all kinds of kitchen
furniturelfor sale and sold it, Adjoin-
ing this was the long tables loaded
with good eatables, presided over by
stern matrons and blushing maidens.
Mrs. DR.. Brooks and Mrs. John H.
Mosier had the experimenting of the
fancy work booth. This was model
of beauty and was full of useful trap.
pings when opened.
The handkerchief booth was filled
with an elegant assortment of goods.
ranging in quality from the ordinary
to the best the market affords and in
price from shilling to as much as you
could desire to pay-no limit to price
The salesladies, who had supervision
of this department, were Nlesdames
Ed. Bilharz and G. E. Brooks.
Mesdames Hooker, Frick, Jackson
ann Miss Myrtle Frick looked after the
art and valentine booth where many
beautiful pieces of ware were kept for
sale.
Mrs. f. Bilharz and Mrs. Jennie
Donaldson had charge of the apron
booth and before the evening was half
over had sold the last remnant of
their large stock and public clamor-
ed for more.
The last but not least (only in the
size of the garment was the baby
clothing booth kept by Mrs. w. R.
Green, who was proud of her depart
ment and by her ardent efforts did not
fail to attract and please the artistic
eye. To those unframed in making
such purchases the garments seemed
dear and high-hung above.
Later sweet music was furnished to
lull to ease the weary attendants and
to provide entertainment for the guests
present. The evening was Measurable
because every one enjoyed themselves
and profitable because the society
cleared good some of money.

EDUCATIONON
THE MAINLAND

Jonah Kumalae, one of the Republican
members of the House, seems to be la
boring under the impression that Hawaii
is yet under monarchical rule, and that
many of the acts done in that hey y-day
of the bestowal of kingly and queenly
favors may be repeated, and that Ha-
wall can send its Hawaiian youth abroad
or upon the Mainland to be educated at
the expense OF the local Treasury. The
member introduced a bill in the House
yesterday providing for the regulating
of the sending OF Hawaiian youths to
the Mainland or abroad to be educated,
The bill is in reality only rehash OF
chapter IL of the Civil Laws of 1897,
wherein the local Government at that
time undertook to send its youth TO
schools in Europe or America TO be edu-
Gated. In former years the monarchical
government was foolish enough to send
Robert Wilcox and others to obtain an
education in Italy, with disastrous re-
suits to the Island group which sent
them away. The course OF study out
lined at that time did not contemplate
