ENGAGEMENT Dinner Dance.

Engagement Dinner Dance.
The engagement was announced last
evening of Miss Luriine Matson and
Mr.. VIII Roth. The secret was let out
at a very beautiful dinner dance given
for Miss Matson at the Country Club
by Miss Wtlhelmina Tenney. From
the first the guests suspected some.
thing when they viewed the dainty
pink trimmed tables with significant
pink hearts dangling from the chande-
hers and lovers knots Of misty pink
tulle. Toward the end OF the supper
their suspicious were justified when
a loving cup was passed around and
the health and happiness oflthe young
couple proposed, and the singing
boys carol y Love You Truly" by
Carrie Jacobs Bond. After supper the
evening was devoted 10 dancing, the
party being joined by number of
others, including the guests of Mr..
and Mrs. Tenney's dinner. Those
present were Miss Lurline Matson,
Miss Jane Hotaling. Miss Marie Ty.

Hibiscus Show at the Armory 81.
Great interest Is being taken by
both townfolks and tourists alike In |
the hibiscus, palm and fern show that
will be given on Wednesday from IL :
to at the armory, under the direction
OF Mr.. Gerrit wilder. This makes the
third affair OF its kind given in Homo
lulu, each one showing marked prog
ress, especially In the cultivation and
breeding of hibiscus. The first was
given In the Promotion Committee
rooms three years ago and was very
beautiful. although only a handful. Of
garden enthusiasts exhibited. The
second was held In the Y. M. C. "A.
hall year ago and attracted a great
deal of attention by the beauty and
variety of its flowers. During the
past year, however, the indifference
with which the average Honolulan !
has regarded the hibiscus has vanish
no doubt BY the wonder
full results obtained by Mr.. Wilder and
b few others. Whereas formerly there
were only three or four varieties Eof
the hibiscus--yery attractive, though J,
unappreciated by most people, who !,
considered them more in the light of /.
3 hedge flower than anything else -
there are now q hundred or more.
They vary In shade from pale pink,
salmon color, yellow, orange, cerise
to deepist red with a few added va
rieties such as lavender, white, spot
ted, coral. wita all numbers and
shapes OF petals. Honolnlans who
have seen smaller exhibits OF hibiscus
In the various stores will realize at
once how exquisite this large one will
be. In addition there will be some
wonderful palms and rare. ferns, some
Of which are seldom seen in the ISL :.
ands. The opportunity to view this
splendid exhibit will be eagerly seized
by everyone, tourists especially ap-
preciating the lovely sight, though !
townsfolk are not behind them In en-
thusiasm. ~e> =
