at Mrs. Fuller's Monday afternoon saw
eight tables working hard for pretty
prizes. Mrs. Holloway's on Tuesday
was an enjoyable affair and Nuuanu

card party field.
Mrs. May Mott-Smith Bird has plan.
ned to have an exhibition Of her ar.
tistic jewelry in Honolulu. The exhibit.
ton is going to be in the nature of Q

freshments, and all the effect Of an
afternoon tea. After Mrs. Birds
friends have seen her work, 1t will
be put on sale and no doubt 1t will
meet with the appreciation 1t has else

there are many very odd and curious
cid effects in many of the pieces.
Mrs. Bird deserves an infinite amount
Of praise for her industry and orisi.
