Everything points to a great success
in the lawn fete and luau which is in
progress this afternoon and continuing
this evening at the beautiful grounds
surrounding the home of Princess Ka-
wananakoa, at 1888 Pensacola street.
For two Weeks or more under the di-
rection of the Princess upwards of
two hundred ladies have been busy
with brain and hand in planning and
carrying out the ideas which cannot
help but make the affair success.
The proceeds of the day are to be
devoted to the fund being raised for
the purpose Of building a home for
destitute Hawaiian women. This pro-
ject has been on foot for some time,
and of the $4,000 which are needed for
the purchase of the property which is
proposed to be devoted to the purpose,
$1,000 have already been raised by
private subscription. The proceeds of
the fete and Luau today will be ap-
piled to this fund, and from indica-
tions the amount to be raised will be
very materially reduced
The Home which is to be established
will be in charge of the Catholic
Bishop and the Catholic Mission, al
though it will be open to destitute wo-
men of any denomination, subject only
to the condition that they be Ha-
waiians.
The grounds where the fair is being
held presents a beautiful appearance,
and when it is lighted up at night with
myriads of electric globes it will be
even more attractive.
