Y. W. c. A. HOMESTEAD
VISITED BY GHOSTS

The Homestead on King street
ahounded with ghosts and spooks last
night who were present at the IIallo-
we'en party given under the auspices
of the physical department OF the
Young Women's Christian Association.
They came in great numbers and from
the size of the gathering it seemed
very probable that all the Spooks
throughout the city had abandoned
their play elsewhere and had chose
the Homestead for their evenings en-
tertainment.
the rooms were appropriately dec
Grated for the occasion with black cats
and witches while ghostly lights and
Illuminated jack-o'.lanterns lurked in
the dark corners. The guests had
come in various coStumes, and there
were Indians, soldiers. cowgirls, three
o. four dozen ghosts, any number of
Mephistopheles, Japanese girls, and a
Little Red Riding Hood.
AS the guests arrived they were es-
corted to the various places of amuse-
mert which were The Valley of Mis-
cry, The Valley of Wisdom, The Val
ley of Mishap, The Valley of Good
Luck, The Valley of Expectation, The
Valley of Matrimony, The Valley of
Good Taste. The Valley of Distaste.
The Valley of Merriment, The Valley
|of Unhappiness and The Valley of
Good Fortune. Perhaps the greatest
amusement OF the evening was the
fortune-telling booth which was presid-
ed over by Mrs. Thurs tell, and around
which the girls gathered eager to
learn what the future had in store for
them.
Refreshments in keeping with the
occasion were served On the lanai. and
following this all present were called
n the living room where ghost stories
were told. Miss Ruth Benedict and
MISS MacDougal told one entitled
The Screaming Skull" which was a
most narrowing tale.
The guests departed at late hour
and all voted that they Lad had a most
hilarious time. -
The affair last night was the begin
ming Of a series of social events that
will be given by the association this
winter.

WORK for A REPUBLICAN LEGISLATURE

Delegate KuhO is giving his fellow-C andi-
dates the heartiest support he, knows how. and
for some of the very plantation men who lined
lup with the anti-Kuhio forces last spring he is
now making votes. He is speaking for ali the
Republican candidates for the legislature.
On Maui he campaigned for III. B. Penhallow,
and Penhallows fight, according to reports, be-
gan to assume distinctly brighter prospects
when the prince put his shoulder to the wheel.
He spoke also for kalama, who is having tough
tussle with William J. COelho, COelho having
turned Democrat. On Hawaii he worked for
Beckley and Fernandez, as against the split
ticket of Metzger and Fernandez On Oahu he
is speaking nightly on behalf of Dowsett, Renton
and KaleiOpu for the senate, and for the entire
representative tickets.
Delegate kuhiO asks Republican legislature
that will carry out the Republican platform, the
platform for which he is largely responsible par
ticularly for the land plank.
Z "That platform is the most progressive ever
written in this territory and ask that YOU elect
b progressive Republican legislature that will
carry out it's pledges" says the delegate to the
VOTERS It is an entirely reasonable request, and
