tity.
From the grand march when all the
motley ARA of maskers paraded a
bout the ian before the Queen. the
princess and the judges of the gentler
sex all in powdered hair and evening
toilettes TO the signal for the unmask-
ing fun was uncontrolled. The judges
could hardly keep their gravity. The
Princess quietly stole away from the
dIgnihed body and donned d pink do
mino. and even a little later she ap-
peared as a Persian, dancing as gaily
as the rest.
An amusing feature occurred when
the lights suddenly went out and on
being upturned again revealed a Ger
man Band The costumes were OF
funny pattern. and the leader was
sonny Cunha in startling costume
of widepants and blue coat The music
was awful but il was German. At
midnight the unmasking took place
by sonny" Cunha. as follows:
Most Beautiful Costume for Ladies
a tie between Miss Kelley. as Golden
Shower" Mrs. Kimball. as a Turkish
lady, and Miss Campbell. The Girl in
Red" Miss Campbell won the prize,
a cut-glass salad bowl. The Most Orig
inal Ladies Costume prize went TO Mrs.
F. Howard Hunphris. who appeared as
tached to a big cardboard on which
We're boudoir articles for a doll. The
prize was hand painted vase
The prize for the Handsomest Gentle
mans Costume. went TO Mr. Charles
r. Chillingworth. who appeared as a
japanese Samurai- His costume was of
heavy> rich gold embroidered silk, with
swords thrust through the girdIe- The
head was represented as shaved and

was a pair of solid silver military hair
brushes. The prize for the Most Origi-
nal Gentleman's Costume went to Mr..
James Dougherty. who represented a
gigantic irecracker, one being built
around him.
The prizes were awarded by Queen
Liliu0kalani, and following this the
maskers marched to the reception par
lor where small tables awaited the
guests. The unmasking had made
strange partners and the tables re-
sounded with laughter as disclosures
came. The supper comprised dainty
salads and other tempting edibles, while
champagne punch was quaffed in fun
bumpers to the host and hostess, Prince
and Princess Kawananakoa, and the
Al.
The supper over the ballroom was again
the rendezvous where dancing was
continued until late hour.
The sylvan scene which burst upon
the view of the maskers as they en-
tered the ballroom was fit setting
for the gayety which they brought into
it. The ballroom. which partially ex-
tends beyond the sandy beach and over
the water. was open to the cool breezes
which swept from valley TO sea It's
long, rectangular form lent itself easily
to the decorative skill OF Mr. Ernest
Parker. whose dainty design and meth
DDS of arrangement won general ex-
pressions of praise.
The brilliantly Illuminated hall was,
however, somewhat dimmed by the mass
of greenery so profusely used. Both
ends of the hall were almost concealed
by the wealth of ported palms, pam
danus branches, palm branches and
croton bushes arranged there. These
various forms of green were carried
up to great heights their rich hue
bring relieved by strips of contrasting
color The music gallery was similarly
treated, and at intervals along the
sides were masses of the green luxuri-
ance.
From the two central electric light
discs in the ceiling long red paper
streamers hung IN festoons, the other
ends caught up in the two long rows
of electric lights shaded with yellow
which ran along opposite sides Of the
ceiling from end to end. Beneath each
disc hung a huge group of pandanus
branches. Also suspended from each
d sc We're steamers of red green and
yellow paper. the ends catching up
paper masks Long, dainty tracing
lines Of MALE low hanging ran through
the long streamers. and at frequent in
tervaIs gay and sad-looking masks
dangled in the breeze. The musicians
played in the gallery. just above the en-
trance
