all reports and the kindly words Of
those who attended, it was a success,

Flowers Brighten Scene m
I filled the building with palms,
ferns and flowers; mad an eight-foot
greeting, Aloha hung at each door,
built a platform, borrowed everything
Hawaiian from the village and things
that would pass as such from the Phil
ipEines, and made the building thing
of beauty: had a dandy punch, passed
on by all the official board as the
best ever served on the grounds
served from our little coconut hut to
the masses, and from the Hawaiian
booth to society guests.
In honor of the event the Hawai-
ian village was closed, and the boys
furnished music Lei Mokahana gave
a real hula dance, not once, by by re-
quest three times, and little Winnie
Shaw danced miniature hula several
times. These with vocal music filled
the three hours and at o'clock there
was still crowd in the building.
Ball Much Enjoyed
. The plaza vas prettily decorated
and the bali enjoyed by all. was
worn TO fragile, but have the salts
faction of hearing on every side that
it was the incest event of the season.
Il wish you would send note of

of grounds, for his kindness in send
ing me the palms and flowers free of
charge. also to Mr. Pendleton for the

Jeancon of the publicity department
