Twelve automobiles carried the gay
picnicers around the circle and the
beautiful night, cool, but with hardly
a breath of air stirring, and with the
full moon shining in the east and
Halley's comet glittering in the west,
was an ideal one for the occasion.

lapaki where Hon. and Mrs. Charles
A. Rice furnished the first course of
the dinner, consisting Of some of the
hosts famous cocktails, followed by
soup, and at quarter past seven the
start was made for the next stopping
place.
The long line of lighted automo-
biles, as they travelled up the hill
from Nawiliwili, made a picturesque
sight, which was added to by the
clear starry sky overhead, in which
the moon had not yet risen, and the
bright comet in the west, shining
through the calm, still air.
The first stop was at the home of
Sheriff and Mrs. w. H. Rice, Jrp
where the guests were RECALLED with
an entree of lobster Newburgh, be-
fore continuing on to the spacious
grounds of Hon. and Mrs. w. H. Rice.
Here the host and hostess received
the party and ushered them to the
three large and several smaller tables
scattered through the verandah and
halls Here was encountered the
meat course, the main one of the
evening, and it cossIsted of a sub
stantial supply of tender turkey and
ham, together with several vegetable
and other side dishes.

tites, sharpened by the long wait at
the first stop, were now in a fair way
to become satisfied, the travellers
were carried onward the short dis
lance to the home of Mr.. and Mrs. II.
Rohrig, in the middle of the town,
where a delicious German salad was
,set before them,-a combination of
all the good things which can be
thought of, which enter into the COM
/ position of the finest salads.
Next in line for the journey was
the comfortable residence of Hon.
and Mrs. A S. Wilcox, at Kilohana,
which was reached at half after eight
o'clock, and here the diners were
I welcomed by the host and hostess,
who had gone on ahead and were
awaiting them on the froad front We
randa, and an apDetizing dessert of
ice cream and cake was brought out.
I Following this came the cigars, which
was 4 reminder to the guests that
their round of joy was fast nearing
it's end, and the hour growing late.
The last section of the journey was
now undertaken, and at nine o'clock
the cocoanut- empowered beach resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. S. w. Will
cox was reached at Papalinahoa
where coffee was served, and then, to
the subdued accompaniment of the
breakers on the beach below the
house, the dancers in the party trip
ped away couple of hours to the
tuneful measure played by the Ma
Mia Brothers quartet, and at eleven
o'clock the diners said goodbye tC
their final host and hostess and en-
tered their machines again for the
