church fairs or bazaars during the las
. week than ever before in her history
The first event of the kind. given by
the Ladies' Guild of the Church of the
tGood Shepherd of Wailuku, took place
at Alexander Hall the evening of the
10th.
| The three pretty rooms were so beauti-
fully adorned as to be described. fairy
land and a dream of beauty" A large
number of people were in attendance.
The refreshments were all sold early in
the evening, and nearly every article at
the fancy tables before the evening was
over; $3.50 was the large sum realized.
| During last evening, the 22nd, the first
bazaar ever held by the Ladies' Aid So
c!ety of the Makawao Foreign Church
took place in Paia Hall.
| 1t has been the annual custom of the
society to hold sales. of fancy work some
time in November, but never before has
regular church fair been given. The
interior Of the hall was most profusely
decorated with ferns, ported plants,
bunting and other drapery. In the CEN
ter of the hall was the large octagonal
fancy work booth presided over by Mrs
F.. W. Hardy, Mrs. Dora Won Tempsky
and Miss Irene Aiken.
Nearby. in an adjoining corner, was a
pretty Christmas tree, dazzling with the
light of many candles, reflected in shin
! ing ornaments This was the doll booth
in CHARGE of Mrs. d. c. Lindsay and
Mrs. f. b. Carley. Opposite this was
the ice cream booth, in pink and green.
presided over by Mrs. w. S. Nicoll and
Miss Belts. Adjoining was the lemonade
and ice drinks booth, decked out in strik-
ing orange drapery and the green ferns
Miss Clara Lowrie made this table the
center of attraction, ably assisted during
the latter part of the evening by Mr..
Diggs of Woodland, Cal. The candy
booth. adorned in red and green, was
an attractive corner, presided over py
Mesdames W. o. Aiken and Geo. VIII
bur.
| Opposite the candy table was the Jap
Ianese booth, which was artisucally
adorned with the lanterns, flags. umbrel-
las fans. flowers and pottery of the ISL
and Empire, in addition to the green of
| ferns and the vivid coloring of bunting.
Here Misses Eva, Nellie, and Ethel
Smith dispensed tea and sweetmeats in
Japanese china, and sold articles of Jap
| anese art.
The Hawaiian booth, in red, white, blue
and green, in charge of Mrs. w. F. Nc
ConSey. was popular one. all the lahala
work being quickly sold.
One of the leading features of the ba-
zaar was the fish pond, which occupied
one half of the stage. 1t was mystic
bridge constructed of quaint bamboo,
with large fish-net forming the water
below. After the payment of fee (2J
cents), the fisherman stood upon the
bridge and with pole and line angled I'M
til he hooked some package containing
some fancy article.
| Owing to the confusion attendant upon
an affair of the kind, the excellent mu-
steal program did not receive the atten-
ton it merited. However, the fine cor
net solos of Mr.. G. d. Lufkin were very
much appreciated we'll as the bril-
liant piano selections of Mr. Norton Of
Spreckelsville.
The singing of Hawaiian songs by a
sextet of Maunaolu girls was excellent.
and Miss Lowrie's piano solo was up to
her usual high standard.
There was a large number of the dis
trict people present which was more
than equalled by the large attendance of
Spreckelsyille residents. A free train
was run between Wailuku and Paia.
The receipts amounted to Si42
