The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1907-10-20


noon was most delightful affair and
presented many novel and interesting
features. One thing that had con-
slant crowd about it was the grab
bag booth. You bought lemon and
put it in the mouth of one of the two
figures that presided over the caprices
of this institution and presently you
were handed neatly wrapped up par
eel containing something that you
wanted-or didn't. D. Howard Hitch
/ cock was the genius that devised the
| innovation He also painted the faces
of the presiding figures and there was
a fascination about them that kept
neople before the booth spellbound.
| The ice cream and cake, both Of
which were most excellent, were served
| in a large round tent. Miss Blair and
Miss Wills were the lightning portrait
artists producing portraits often rec
| ognizab BILE in very short order.
The lemonade booth was artistically
designed with punches of real grapes,
Chinese oranges and other fruits work
ed into the design. 1t was presided
over by Mrs. C. W. Booth, Mrs. Clara
Schmidt and Mrs. G. W. r. King.
At the fancy work booth there were
an immense variety and number of
things over which women rave, and
which were indeed things of beauty
1t was under the direction of Mrs. w.
NJ Giffard.
The flower booth was within circle
of palm trees and was exceedingly eff
fective. In the paper flower booth 1t
seemed as if Nature had been outdcne,
if that were possible. The delicatessen
booth attracted many people. Every
thing sold could not only pass muster
under the pure food law, but it had
the -whoIesomeness of home made"
The fair was held at Haalelea Lawn,
and the grounds were admirably fitted |
for the purpose. Within the house |
there were shadow plays, silhouette |
and dancing darkies, and other fun |
producing features.
The attendance was good throughout |
the afternoon, and the affair was a
great success. It was under the gen.
