It needs only a few warm days to bring out Iale little bleeding hearts; and little Miss Hepatica, who is not due until May, is sending up many lavender buds. most ready to open. Red Trilhum and Moccasins are about the only wild flowers I can't cultivate.
 My wild flower bed is pretty when well started. White and pink Trillium, Solomon's Seals and Jack-in- the Pull pit all come up young from seed to bloom the next year.

UNCLE JED'S CHAT WITH
 THE LITTLE FOLKS

Our little story writers are doing we'll, and we are giving two prizes where we promised only one, and shall give two books a month in future to the writers of the prettiest stories.
 In the hidden word puzzle competi- ton we had hoped to give one book to a girl and one to a boy each month, but we cannot justly do it when the girls are solving the hardest puzzles and evading none.
 Richard Tobin, Jr aged g, took a special prize last month as the young est competitor. This month he takes prize for making the best conclusion to the story, Lena of the Mountains, a task of real merit.
 Uncle Jed congratulatas the little winners upon their success.

Once was little mouse. Every night I came out of my hole to find some cheese to eat, One night as was running around on the shelves ! came across trap.. I said you won't get me, for I know all about trapss The cheese smelled very good. stood there for a long time.
 I got so tired watching it I went right up where it was. The trap snapped. but I didn't know was caught. When I got my cheese eaten I started to go back to my hole. But I found was caught I had fine supper just the same. When the peo- pie got up in the morning they saw me in the trap. The people had black and white cat. They gave me to her, and this is the end of my story.

A very brilliant public ball was that
given last evening at the Alexander
Young Hotel by the Merchants Asso-
citation and the Chamber of Commerce
in celebration of July 4th. The func-
ton was in honor of the citizens of
| Honolulu and the officers of the Brit

From half-past seven till half-past
nine o'clock a delightful concert was
rendered on the roof garden by the
Royal Hawaiian Band, and at the con-
clusion of the concert, dancing began
/ in the two bathrooms, which were
deliberately decorated for the occasion
by innumerable American and British
flags and emblems and signal bunting.
No written invitations for this af-
fair were issued, but everyone who
wished to attend was hidden. About
two thousand citizens attended, there
fore, and the ball was of most cos
mopolitan character.
At nine o'clock the reception was

AS Miss Ross is exceptionally

the lei was draped about her should

After a delicious course dinner, sew

Ever since the closing of the var
ious schools of the city, the young
people have been entertaining one an
other in mad gay whirl of delightful
occasions.
On Saturday Miss Pauline Schaefer
entertained at a charming picnic lunch
con at her home, "Rosebank," in Nuu-
anu Valley, whose guest list was pub
lished in these columns on Saturday.
The young girls assembled in the
reception room, which was beautifully
arranged with vari-tinted roses and
lace maidenhair, and in this artistic
bower several delightful games were
played
Among other attractions was a pro-
gressive fishing contest, the winner,
Miss Myrtle Schumann, being present
ed with a handsome volume of cOlored
Hawaiian fishes.
Luncheon was served at one, at a
table set in the midst of ported palms
on the lanai, and arranged with pink
and white carnation leis interviewer
with maidenhair.
After luncheon more games were
played, a contest of advertisements
causing great amusement. The winner
of this contest was Miss Maud Jones,
who was awarded an elaborate book of
"Christy" girls.
Miss Margaret Center entertained
at a very handsomely appointed
Fourth of July dinner party at her
home on Green and Kapiolani streets
on Monday evening, in honor of Miss
| Madeline Ross.
Miss Center proved herself a very
charming and capable young hostess,
and although not a guest of honor,
Miss Pauline Schaefer was the inspir-
alton for great deal of happiness, in
that she had returned from the main
land in time to be included in the fes-
/ tivities, she being a great social fav-
orite in the younger set.
On Monday evening the drawing
room, mushroom and dining-room
were very deliberately decorated with
draped American and British flags,
graceful palms on teakwood tabourets,
and many exquisite baskets and bowls
of red and white Jacqueminot and La
Marque roses and baby lace maiden
hair.
The central chandelier over the din
ner table was concealed in a wealth of
crimson and white carnation leis and
fragrant MALE, which were inter
twined among the lights, shaded by a
mist of red tulle.
Suspended from the chandelier by
narrow satin ribbons in red, white and
blue, hung a dainty floral basket, brim-
full of red and white carnations and
baby maidenhair, which hung far over
the sides, creating a pretty effect
The handle Of this basket was
caught with a huge double butterfly
bow of broad crimson satin, and
strong tendrils of fern and clipped
carnations were dropped here and
there over the cloth.
