The steward at the Moana hotel GER
tainly deserves much praise for his
artistic table decorations. At the Mer-
rill dinner last Friday evening his in
spiration was very happy one. The
center of the table was converted into
miniature lilly pond. The lilies
resting most naturally on the water,
with the green leaves and pink petals
made most effective picture. Little
palms and grasses rose from the wat
er, and the whole effect, with its foun-
cation of sands and rocks and the
softly shaded candles was most favor
ably commented upon by the Merrill
dinner guests.

A very enjoyable picnic was given
on Sunday by Robert Single at Wal
lele for the Merrills, who are guests
nj the Moana Hotel. Wailele, the
country estate of Alan Herbert, is
ideally situated at the head Of Kalihi
Valley. The mountain scenery is SUI
perb and the natural bathing pool
formed by the rushing of the noun
tain stream into a deep recess cut out
of the rock Is simply perfect for deep
water bathers on hot summers day.
The summer-house constructed like a
native grass hut, with hanging pots
of ferns and flowers is restful and cool,
and the large billiard room. with its
huge fireplace and comfortable chairs,
is pleasant lounging place. The house
is reached by "A long bridge built over
the stream. and an imposing bell al
ways welcomes and speeds the guest,

Mrs. Clifford Kimball entertained
for Mrs. Dikwell Hewett Of San Fran
cisco on Friday last. 1t was very
informal tea as only intimate friends
we're asked. These informal teas are
becoming quite popular, for you can
really have little chat and be quite
comfortable without having to rush
about and say lot of silly things to
people who only bore one. Mrs. Kim
ball always makes a charming host
ess. for she Is both sincere and am
iable--two qualifications which always
insure success.
