the Royal Hawaiian Band. some thou
sand more citizens strolled, despite the
dampness of the evening. The Capitoi
was decorated along the balconies With
more colored lights. in tho center OF
which blazed the Stars and Stripes.
Within. flowers had. been lavishly used
for decorations, white daisies and
ferns being massed with splendid ef-
feet on the main stairway. and potted
ferns. palms and other plants trans
forming the landings and alcoves into
green bowers.
In the throne room, where the pres

Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth and Secretary
Atkinson was a few minutes late and
drove up at speed that made people
shiver as it spun around on the WEI
