An Art Exhibition and
BaZaar.--SOCiaI
Items.


LIHUE, December 1.-THE Lihue
Art Exhibition has grown into a regu
lar Institution characteristic of the is
land. The seventh recurrence of this
pleasant and interesting event took
place at the Lihue hall on Saturday
evening December l. The hall was
tastefully decorated for the occasion,
plants, and beautifully lighted by or
namental lamps in addition to the
electric light. The exhibition features
of the affair were less strongly mark
ed than heretofore, the display being
small but choice, mainly in drawn work
and embroidery with a few choice bits
of hand painted china.
The strength of the exhibition lay in
the bazaar, where many beautiful and
valuable articles were on sale, the gift
of ladies of the community for the
benefit of the library. These in them
selves formed an interesting art ex-
hibit
The flower table was in charge of
Mrs. A. H Rice, the candy table in
charge of Mrs. Weber, assisted by Mrs.
Purvis, and the main table in charge
| of Mrs. C. H. Rice.
| The few articles remaining unsold
were auctioned off by Mr.. a. H. Rice
very successfully.
,te,
were served, in charge of Mrs. Smythe,
on the stage from which the partakers
reviewed the interesting scene below.
The total receipts were $176.40, the
expenses 1920, leaving a net balance
for the benefit of the library of $12S.20.
THE SEASON OPENS.
The Mokihana Club gave its first
dance for the season last Saturday,
needless to say with perfect success.
The ladies had sent out some two hun
dred invitations to their friends and
acquaintance on Kauai and the invi-
tation met with a general acceptance
wherever it was sent. Kauai people
from Hanalei to MakaweH thought
nothing of the distances or the muddy
roads but came eager to enjoy the hos
pitality of the Lihue ladies.
TO HELP THE BAND
The year is nearing its end, but the
funds of the Lihue band came to an
end long ago, so now is your chance
to show your public spirit as well as
you Hberality and take up your share
of the maintenance of it. Father Adal-l
bert, who has put in some hard ticks
to get the organization started and
later in keeping it together, last year
took a list round to some of the peo-
pie of the district, who responded gen.
erously. A subscription list has been
placed in the hands of Mr.. J. j. Hiorth
at Lihue store, where all those who last
year showed their appreciation of the
worthiness of the cause by a subscrip-
ton will have a chance to prove the
courage of their last years opinion by
doing likewise this year.
GOOD ROAD NOW.
John H. Wilson, who has a contract |
for matchmaking some of the county's /
roads, has finished the stretch between !
Mahinauli gulch and the railroad cross
ing beyond the Hanapepe hill. The
disgraceful road and the rickety
bridges were not only the joke of every
traveller in the Territory but a danger
to those who had to use them. The
danger is now eliminated by the new
concrete bridges and a smooth road
with good grades will soon have rel
placed the old dust streak.
HOME AGAIN.
On the return of c. w. Smith from
a short vacation in Honolulu the gent
al blacksmith of MakaWeli entertained
4 few of his friends at very pleasant
chowder down a the landing Saturday
evening, the first. The chowder was
most delicious and all appreciated the
Efforts of Mr.. Smiths inimitable cook
After a delightful trip in
ne landing launch the guests returned
o sit down in the beautiful moonlight
o delicious spread. Soft Hawaiian
Hrs made the time fly and all too soon
| was announced that the train was
'eady to return to the camp. Those
present were the Misses Aldrich Whit
