tanned large audience last Saturday
evening i'm the Kappa Sunday school
hall. Several Hawaiian plays were
presented, each portraying the lives
and customs of royal personages. The
stage was beautifully decorated with
ferns and other greens, presenting a
scene so artistic and rarely found
elsewhere in tropical cline.
The most important feature of the
evening was the play entitled "Kaahu-
manu." which was well rendered. It

presents, kneeling ana crawling as
