placard nailed to a post, which read:
I'VE have just been married-don't
look at us!" Instinctively the passen-
gers looked back and sure enough the
young couple had just reached the

the Dlacard.

From the San Jose Mercury: A very
pretty Hawaiian fete was given under
the auspices of the Womans Christian
Association of the First Presbyterian
church Friday afternoon and evening,
in the grounds of Hotel vendome
Six booths fashioned to resemble
as nearly as possible the artistic
dwellings of the tropics, Occupied places
on the lawn in front of the hotel The
Hawaiian welcome aloha" was dis
played at each and several presented
an appearance strikingly natural with
their distinctly characteristic decora-
tions.
The Hawaiian booth, whose portals
bore the inscription Hawaii Mel" was
indeed like a bit of the island repub-
lie set down in the midst of the scene.
The booth was made in the shape of
the native houses, palm branches and
bamboo, instead of the native grass,
being used to form its walls and thatch
its roof. 1t was exceedingly attract
i've within as well as without, for it
was filed with curios and the pref
test of Hawaiian obiets dart. Mrs
Joseph Pash, Mrs. L. F. Graham and
Mrs Will Dinsmore presided over the
table of leis, mats, calabashes, fans,
cushions, strings of shells and numer-
Gus other articles, all genuine and all
very pretty.
Miss Rita Dinsmore had transformed
the bandstand into an Hawaiian bow
er, lining it with a handsome mat,
against which native paddles, bats,
leis and other articles showed to best
advantage. Long wreaths of brakes
of this very attractive bower. The
music was most enjoyable. In the
afternoon a quartet of young ladies
rendered selections, both Hawaiian and
popular airs being on the program,
and in the evening double quartet
sang. A real Hawaiian, Mahelona by
name, was one of the singers. Dab
laing's orchestra also played during
the evening
Mahelona and Miss Beatrice Humid
ley, a fellow country-woman, gave the
names and explained the uses of the
Hawaiian articles exhibited and on
sale.
