The directors of the League, as the
executive committee of the Mardi Gras
Bal Masque, thank the Prince and
| Princess, the ladies in waiting, the
ushers, the building and decoration
committees, for many pleasant gifts
and surprises rendered them they
thank the firms and individuals and
also the guests who attended.
/ Rather than give up this annual af-
fair which as years go on will grow
| into one of the most important days
| OF the calendar of Honolulu, the Art
| League has bravely come out little
ahead of the tremendous expenses nee
essary to give as successful and in ev-
cry detail as beautiful an affair as the
third Mardi Gras.
The first Mardi Gras seven years ago
cost three thousand dollars. The COM
mittee considered the money we'll spent
for it was exchanged in the hands of
those who needed a little stir in trade.
Add to this the benefit that the prep
aration to attend Mardi Gras costs
and know that next year every win
dow in Honolulu will be decorated to
suit the occasion and the Art League
receive what it did not get in a univer-
sal form this year a place to give the
ball and more enthusiasm. So Come
and trip it as We go with a light fan
tastic toe and in your right hand bear
with me the Art Leagues future

The plays on the 9th and 18th We're
a regular dramatic circle part of our
yearly program. The next date for
this circle to entertain the League is
in June. The League thanks the actors
and actresses for their good entertain
ment.
Almost too soon after the Dramatic
came the Literary Circle, but then, we
had to take advantage of Mrs. Ella
Wheeler Wilcox's visit and suit her
time to ours. The reception line con-
sisted of Mrs. w. f. Frear, Mrs. r.
Wilcox, Mrs. w. NJ. Graham, Mr.. Bur-
ton Holmes, Mrs. L. L. McCandtess,
Mr. D. Howard Hitchcock, and Mrs. |
A. B. Tucker. Mrs Marshall welcomed |
the guests as they entered the door of
the building down stairs.

The next entertainment of the League I
will be the First View of the Pic /
torial Circles thirtieth semannuaI ex-
hibition. 1t will probably occur in the
third week of April and be a very fine |
showing of the work of our local and /
visiting artists. Positively no one viii |
be admitted without cards and these /
will be rendered members only.

The Photographic Club have asked /
the directors for admittance to the /
Pictorial Circle of the League. They.
will probably have their own subcom- /
mittee and maintain their own dark |
room and studios. This viii be an
other advantage to the League men,
bers for any member by joining this
branch will have the use of the rooms |
and equipage of the Photographic de-
partment. At the April exhibition this
branch of the pictorial art will be
represented by a whole room de-
voted to large and splendid pho
exhibition. AS the clubs
is considerably over fifty,
this will probably close the three hum
dred memberships required by the Art
League. Many of the Photographic
Club are already members of the
League. Those who have been late in
to the invitation to join
will probably be put first on a waiting
list from which new members will be
admitted. Until larger rooms are ar
,anged, three hundred. counting those
who are away and those who do not
20 out at night, are all that the League
AN manage.
