DinnemParty on Kauai.
LIN E-On Saturday evening last
Mr.. and Mrs. T. Brandt gave a poi
supper in honor of Miss Woodman
who is shortly leaving for her home
in England
Low tables, heavily laden with suit
Ible yiands were spread on the shad-
ed lawn, and around them gathered
the guests to the number of so odd
;. who had come, some of them from
distant parts of the island. The
happy combination of moonlight, ia
panese lanterns and Hawaiian music
was very artistic and called forth
many enthusiastic suggestions of fairy
land
After supper the. guests enjoyed
themselves in various informal ways
from cosy tete-a-tetes in quiet cor
ners to dancing on the lanai.
Towards the close of the evening
MIR. J. NJ Lydgate in the absence of
the new president, Rev. G.. Milliken,
presented to Miss Woodman, on be-
half of the Waimea Literary Society,
8 beautiful travelling bag in recogni-
ton of her valuable services as pro-
moter, moving spirit and first presi-
dent of the club. In facetious and
happy phrase he congratulated her
on being the other kind of English
woman not the suffragette kind of
which We hear so much these days,
and assured her that the gentle wo-
man of her type wherever met in any
land, was a gracious and inspiring in
fluence for good He bespoke for her
much success and many friends wher-
ever she might go, but doubt If she
would find any more loyal and appre-
ciative than those she had made here.
Miss Woodman in return, in few
we'll chosen words expressed her very
grateful appreciation of the honor
that was done her, and the kindly feel
ing of her friends-Garden Island
