This beautiful affair was given at
the Meyer home at Waianae. the
house being decorated with uuanti-
ties af exquisite pansies and other fra
grant flowers, and the large lanai,
where the feast was spread, being en-
closed by festoons of MALE brought
fresh from the surrounding mountains
for this occasion. The idea was
very pretty one and created a striking
| effect At each juncture where the
| graceful festoons met, were grouped
huge clusters of double scarlet hibis-
Gus blossoms, the long tables being
! adorned by fragrant MALE trailers and
scarlet carnations scattered thickly
over green bed of ferns, with large
calabashes of these fragrant flowers
here and there, intermingled with nu-
merous varieties OF. gladiolus.
When the guests were assigned
their various seats (the honored ones
being seated at the table of Mr. and
Mrs. Dowsett) they were gracefully
presented with long beautiful leis of
red carnations and sweet MALE which
admitted, owing to their length, be-
ing wound several times round the
neck.
And then the feast began, and such
feast! Every delicacy, some of
which are almost impossible to obtain
at the present time was presented in
neat packages, and the hills and the
sea had been robbed of some of their
choicest viands.
Over one hundred and fifty guests
sat down at the luau, fifty being pre-
sent at the table of the honored
guests.
The Waianae band alternated with
