the first time that the main residence

by huted pillars and grilled archway

were most effective. At the foot OF
each pillar were potted fan palms, while
II one corner, banked high upon Ia

bamboo. cherry hibiscus, ferns and
feathery palms. The hallway and
lanais were similarly treated, the whole
decorative scheme being artistically
carried out. Behind a curtain of palms
and ferns a quintet of Hawaiians play
ed and sang native melodies, to which
the guests tripped away in the deux
temps or whirled through the mazes of
the waltz.
