Everything, 1 think, was Hawaiian
at the Country club party wednesday
night, except the temperature. The
climate of the islands, they say, is SO
temperate that there is no word even
for weather in the Hawaiian tongue.
But the music. the dancing, and the
setting for the party were all in har-
mony with the theme of the repre-
sentation of a scene from the life on
the Sandwich Islands.
on the lawn in front of the club
house was a miniature Hawaiian viii
lage For the background there were
tall grasses and palms and cat-tails,
and at one side a little hut, thatched
with dried grasses in imitation of the
. leaves of the IT, a native plant. MuSl-
clans sat in the enclosure stunning
their instruments, and a group of girls
in Hula Hula costumes sat on the
ground and strung leis. Above the
door was the word Aloha, fashioned
by Mrs Fred Freeman. Inside the
porch, hanging on one of the walls was
an Hawaiian flag which was made by
Mrs. b. F. Akers. The posters through
the rooms were designed by Mr.. Albert
T. Reid. The girls made their own
costumes, and Mrs. Paul Walker, who
was in charge of the evenings enter
tainment supervised the decorations,
and made the little hut in the lawn
with her own hands.
The members of Mrs Walkers COM
mittee were Mrs. L. H. Mum, Mrs.
Fred Freeman, Mrs. B. f. Akers and
Mrs. Horace Hall. Mrs. Hall, while
she was not in town for the party, as
sisted with the arrangements before
she left for the west Mrs. Freeman
and Mrs. Mum have both been tc
Honolulu within the year; the Free
mans having returned from their trip
in the early summer. Mrs. Akers Wis
tied the islands on her way to the
Philippines at a time when fewer
travellers were going that way. She
made the journey the year of our wal
with Spain, being about the time the
Philippines were acquired by this
country. and during her stay there She
was bridesmaid at the wedding of the
first American woman to be married
in the islands. Among the othel
guests who have been to Hawaii wer,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Harmon.
The guests began to arrive at $50
and were greeted by music from the
village. furnished by Mr.. and Mrs
Jack Campbell, Miss Clyde Bonebrake
Mr.. Stanley Copeland, Mr.. Edwin
Campbell and M. and Mrs. Clarence
Jordan. The musicians wore white
