AN EVENING
OF FAREWELL
Mr.. and Mrs. T. Rain Walker and
Mr.. and Mrs. T. May
Are Honored.

THE reception given last night by the
ladies of st. Clements Guild in
u honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Tom May
and Mr.. and Mrs. T. Rain Walker
at the residence of Rev. and Mrs. John
osborne was one of the most brilliant
events of the season.
The beautiful grounds surrounding
the rectory and the carriage ways lead
ing through them were lit with torches.
the illuminations flaring among the
trees and shrubbery with pretty effect
The spacious drawing rooms and lanais
of the osborne residence were artis-
ticaIly decorated with Hawaiian and
American flags and with greens and
garlands of flowers; gay canvas cano-
pies had been stretched over the lawns,
forming open tents and affording softly
lighted retreats for those who preferred
the quiet.
Mrs. osborne was assisted in receiv-
ing by the ladies of the Guild. who pre-
sented the guests, as they entered, to
Mrs. Walker and Mrs. May. About
three hundred guests were present, the
elite of society being represented among
the number.
At 10 o'clock dainty collation. was
served, the refreshments being under the
supervision Of Miss Helene Johnson.
Miss Soper and Miss Hardinge. Little
| girls and boys went about with trays
bearing sandwiches, ice cream, cake,
lemonade and like dainties; the children
| enjoyed their duties and were charm
ing little pages one and all. A quintet
of native music was in attendance, con-
lcealed somewhere in the shrubbery on
the lawn, and the soft strains added a
sweet harmony to the scene, without
interfering with the chatting of the
guests.
| Later the chairs and rugs were clear
ed from the dining room and lanais and
impromptu dancing became the order OF
the latter part of the evening.
Mr. and Mrs. T. Rain Walker and Mr..
and Mrs. May, in whose honor the re-
ception was given, will soon leave for
England to reside there permanently
and 1t was the desire of the ladies Of
the Guild to have their numerous
friends meet with them socially again
before their regretted departure, their
plans taking the pleasant form of the
reception at the rectory.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walker and Mr.. and
Mrs. May are all well known to resi-
dents of Honolulu, their many contri-
buttons towards philanthropic work
their names constantly before the pub
lie in connection with various char
liable enterprises.
There were great many young folks
in attendance and the dancing contin-
ued until late hour, the children hav-
ing possession of one of the lanais for
the tripping of the merry measures
