Surrounded by banners of the Nation,
whose colors were set off by those of
the foliage of the islands to which they
have SO recently come, the visiting
Senator'S We're yesterday formally en-
tertained at luncheon by the Federal
officials stationed here. The luncheon
was given on the Eva lanai of the Ha-

of the prettiest, and most typical of
the life.
The table was spread outside. SO that
1t might be surrounded by the plants
and palms which We're used to trans
form the lanai into bower of the trop-
les. At either end were hung great
flags of the Nation, looped up to give
glimpses of the scenes without. The
decorations were in leis of carnations
and maile. and these were varied by
the introduction of punches. of red bios
SONS along the stretches of the board.
The hour was one o'clock and at the
moment the guests We're gathered on
the Waikiki lanai and marched across
to the banqueting room.

There was a merry party indeed, and
the guests spent the time right busily
in the discussion Of a menu which was
thoroughly Wymanesque and left moth
ing to be desired by the most critical.
There was a round of conversation
which tended to show to the visitors the
many view points INDUCED by the sec
tions of the community. 1t was late in
hour given to the affair that Judge Es-
tee said that there could be no extend
ed toast list. but under the circum-
stances where Americans had gathered,
he would propose the President of the
United States. and call upon Senator
Mitchell of Oregon to respond. The
guests drank standing and the chair
