! of the 30 guests asked by Mr.. and
Mrs. Knudsen TO a farewell dinner for
J Rev Mr. Milliken, and everyone was
delighted TO come, for TO be asked TO

from the beginning to the end. One
feels the cordially, the delightful
friendliness, and one responds. $780,.
OF private places there, is none or
Kauai where the charm OF nature and
art has combined so we'll as in the
garden OF Hola. Every little nook
and corner is made to yield its most,
even the stones, left where nature
placed them, give the touch to the
scene. The beautiful pergola over the
swimming tank, with fernery back OF
II, takes you to Southern Europe, for
the sky Is as blue and clear as there
the flowers as plentiful and with the
mountains and their ever-changing
colors as background peace steals
into your heart and you feel life is
good. Out on the lanai large table,
seating "a, and a smaller one for
nine, were beautifully decorated with
flowers Of the golden shower 1t was
a dream In yellow on a background OF
beautiful centerpieces of real lace,
but the delicious dinner was a reality.
Mr.. Knudsen welcomed the guests
In toast, followed by many others,
for the guests we're asked to wish
Mr. Miiliken goodby and good luck
Mr.. Knudsen called first on Judge
Hofgaard as president OF the board
Of trustees Of the Waimea Foreign
church; and the Judge voiced the feel.
Ing Of the whole community that all
would miss Mr. Milliken, for he had
the rare quality of leaving a district
without anyone saying anything
against him. Similar were . the
speeches of Mr.. Brandt, Mr. Trus-
colt and Mr.. Alexander. Mr.. Ran
kin's toast was humorous. To these
speeches Mr.. Milliken responded, ex.
pressing his high appreciation of the
hospitality and friendship he in these
IL years had received.
But the climax of the toasts of the
evening was Mr.. Knudsen's to Mr.
Miiliken, and a poem written by the
host for the occasion, and at last his
presentation OF bag of gold, started
by Mrs. Vlademar Knudsen as a re.
membrance to Mr.. Milliken from
friends. Mr.. Milliken responded, but
said words could not express the feel.
ing Of friendship he felt. Mrs. Valde.
mar Knudsen also spoke few words
Of her high esteem for Mr.. Milliken.
Mr. Baldwin spoke for the host and
hostess.
Mr.. Knudsen at last drank to a de-
hghtful voyage for Mr. and Mrs. Daa-
ford, who, with their two children,
soon are to sail for the coast
Later In the evening pedro was in
dulged In, Mrs. Schultze and Mr..
Hein1e winning the first prizes.
ltswas almost with regrets that the
guests departed, for no one likes to
cut off the hours Of happiness.
To Mr.. Milliken the Waimea dis
trict is indebted in many ways. Some
OF the finest sermons ever listened to
he has given, and, what is better, he
leavs making his friends feel loss,
which Is the greatest tribute to the
memory Of man.
