one of the prettest childrens parties
ever given i'm Honolulu, was the Easter
Party arranged by Mrs. Charles b.
Cooper on Monday afternoon for her
two little sons, Bryant and Jack The
affair was given at the home of Mrs
Coopers parents, DR.. and Mrs. McGrew
ON Lunalilo street, where the beauti-
full grounds surrounding the residence
lent themselves most perfectly to the
character of the entertainment which
took place almost altogether out of
DOORS The little guests numbering
about sixty ranged in age from four to
six years and most of them were az
tended by their nurses. In their brave
array Of dainty party dresses" they
made a picture that will be long re-
membered by those -,.'-o saw it.
The principal feature of the after
noon was the search for beautifully
colored Easter Eggs and tokens hidden
about the large grounds in every con-
ceivablc hiding place. Almost every
cump of shrubbery and every palm
concealed its quota of the several hun
dred pretty souvenirs, while the hedge
rows seemed to have produced some
novel kind of fruit so beautifully did
they reward the bright eyed little hunt
ers Every new discovery was the sig
| nal for a chorus of delighted shouts,
and the rivalry among the larger of
the little ones was very keen to see
who should find the most The skilful
diplomacy of the "grown-ups' VINO
watched over the fun, prevented how
ever, any heart aches on the part of
the less able of the little searchers.
The refreshments served were simple
and daintily served consisting Of bread
and milk and ice cream, and cake such
as would insure the little guests from
any unpleasant after effects of their
dissipation.
The party broke up, and the children
left reluctantly for their homes about

all of them will long remember.
