RECEPTION
CAY AFFAIR
A Brilliant Gathering
Throngs Throne
Room.

The throne room of the Executive
Building. for so long closed so far as
social affairs of the Territory are con-
cerned, was the gathering spot of So
ciety once more last night at the re-
ception given by Governor and Mrs.
Carter to Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth and
Secretary and Mrs. Straus, at which
several hundred citizens were present.
ed to the distinguished guests. The
grounds were brightly Illuminated by
hundreds of colored incandescent
lights, under which, to the music of
the Royal Hawaiian Band, some thou
sand more citizens strolled, despite the
dampness of the evening. The Capitol
was decorated along the balconies with
more colored lights. in the center of
which blazed the Stars and Stripes
Within, flowers had been lavishly used
for decorations, white daisies and
ferns being massed with splendid eff
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
entations We're made, an aisle had been
partitioned off around the room by
Ereaths of MALE and fern, the receiv-
ing party standing on the Eva side of
the room. on the balcony behind them
was stationed the Ellis Quartet, which
played during the reception.
In the receiving line, in the order
named, We're Governor Carter, Mrs.
Carter, Secretary Straus, Mrs. Long
worth, Congressman Longworth and
Mrs. Straus, the introductions being
made by Secretary Atkinson. The
ladies of the party We're richly gowned.
Mrs. Carter wore white satin, en-
broidered with roses and real lace, and
carried a bouquet of white and pink
roses. The costume worn by Mrs.
Longworth was a most becoming crea-
ton of steel blue satin, and Mrs.
Straus' gown was of white lace.
The officers of the National Guard
assisted in the reception, their uni
forms giving a touch of color to the
groups of the members of the sterner
sex which gathered in the main hall.
National Guardsmen were stationed
also at the doors to see that the lines
of those to be presented were duly
marshaled before entering the throne
room.
Before nine o'clock the automobiles
and carriages began to arrive at the
Capitol with the members of Ho-
nolulu society, a solid lane of people
extending from the King street en-
trance 10 the palace steps to watch
the arrivals. The automobile bringing
Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth and Secretary
Atkinson was a few minutes late and
drove UP at a speed that made people
shiver as it spun around on the wet
flags before the steps It seemed TO
the watchers that the machine must
skid and crash into the steps, but the
driver handled his machine most skill
flllv and nothing unfortunate occurred /
