Behind the queens chair, a high
backed Chinese carved ebony settee,
draped with a Chinese Mandarin scarf,
the tall o feather kahilis stood, made
of the yellow feathers of the bird long
since extinct, whose bases were con-
cealed by tapa and the room was heav-

can Beauty roses, one bunch of which,
containing seventy-two blossoms to re-
present the years of Her Majesty, and
presented by Mrs. George Beckley,
held the place of honor on a high
carved ebony column.
The library was abloom with deli
cate masses of brides roses, and
snowy white dahlias, the roses adorn-
ing the writing desk and center table,
and the curio cases being banked
solidly with dahlias.
The prevailing tone of the dining
room was red, the large round center
table Of koa bearing huge bowl of
Jacqueminot roses, and the buffet and
China closet being lost in a profusion
of scarlet carnations, and red dahlias,
a large basket of which stood aloft on
high carved koa, column, while all
through the house, and even drifting
down from the heavy polished koa
| staircase, was the fragrance of fresh
green MALE whole armfulls of which
had been presented to the queen for
, this occasion. The Hawaiian band
played throughout the hours of the re-
ceiving.

at a very elaborate luau this after
noon at two o'clock at ner Waikiki
residence, where about fifty of her
most intimate friends partook of her
hospitality. The luau was spread on
two long tables set on the deep lanai
overlooking the lawn and the sea by
glimpses through groves of banana
trees, hanging baskets and palms. The
tables were beautifully decorated in a
profusion of MALE and maidenhair
fern and flowers of all descriptions in
the form of American Beauty and
Duchess roses, dahlias and carnations.

tette club rendered soft music where
a, great many of Her Majesty's com
