One of the most delightful social
functions which Honolulu has seen in
a long time was the reception and dance
given last night at the Young Hotel
by local Masons in honor of Grand
Master Franklin Pierce of the grand
lodge of California. The night was
ideal and everything went off as
smoothly as the most fastidious could
have asked.
The function opened with a recep-
tion in the mauka pavilion of the roo1
garden, where the Masons and their
families were given an opportunity to
meet the grand master. Prominent of.
ficers of local lodges stood in the re.
ceiving line with the grand master and
as the guests passed through in process
sion each was presented to Mr.. Pierce,
At the close of the reception orchestras
took their stations in both pavilions
and the dancing started. There were
just enough dancers present to fill both
paviliOns comfortably and the music
was exceptionally fine. Honolulu So
ciety was well represented and some
stunning gowns were in evidence dur
ing the evening.
Refreshment booths were arranged
under the canopies on the roof and be-
tween dances the dancers were served
with lemonade and ice cream. The roof
garden was brilliantly illuminated and
the picture of the black-clad men and
handsomely dressed women, passing in
and out among the potted palms, was a
very striking one.
On the whole the evening was just
about as successful as one could have
wished and the grand master was Civ
en- an opportunity to observe what man.
ner of entertainment is possible under
the balmy skies of Hawaii.
Yesterday afternoon Grand Master
Pierce was taken about the city in an
automobile by Messrs. L. Tenney Peck
and Belser. The various points of in
terest were visited and as much of the
city was taken in as could be covered
in the space of time available.
This afternoon the grand master will
probably be escorted to EVA plantation
by Past Master Petrie The workings
of the plantation will be explained to
anu uS VIII UO gwen ONOlJ OPPO17
tunity to learn something of the inside
workings of the sugar industry in Ha'
waii.
Tonight a dinner will be rendered
Grand Master Pierce by the masters
and past masters of Honolulu. This
affair promises to be most delightful
one.
Tomorrow the knights Templars will
take Grand Master Pierce in charge
Mr.. Pierce is high official in the
grand commandery of knights TEN
plars and the members Of the local com
aandery are exceedingly anxious ia
show him some attention. Just what
arrangements have been made by the
knights has not been announced.
Friday will be left open as Mr.
Pierce sails on Saturday and it is de-
sired to give him an opportunity to
put in one day in Hawaii as he may see
fit. Local Masons will place them
selves at his disposal should he want
guides or advisers, however.
The visit of the grand master has
been particularly satisfactory to the
Masons in Hawaii. All of the blu
lodges of this Territory are under juris
diction of the grand lodge of California
and the brethren feel that the visit
of the grand master has enabled them
to get into closer touch with those OF
the craft on the mainland.
