Of the masculine uniforms rendered the
Kaleidoscope scene under the exquisite
foliage of palms and tropical trees n
most festive one. The ocean donned
its deepest, bluest tinges for the occas.

stringed orchestra furnished fitting
music during the day. Shooting con

For the first time in several years,
n dramatic program of some preten-
was given under the auspices Of the
Mokihana Club for the purpose Of rails
ing sufficient funds to finance the ath.
letics of the Kauai schools during the
past and the following years. The
program consisted Of a number of very

ably, and Harry Vincent Assumed the
part of the mild and long.suffsring hus.
band with equal success. Mr.. W. H.
Rice was most effective as the gentle.
man who, after an uproarious evening
spent with the Mokuhana ladies', was
in dire need of repose, and his stage
presence in pink pajamas and high-top
hat was indeed imposing. Fred Pattef.
son made an excellent night clerk, and
Mrs. w. C. Avery, as the maid, was at
tractive even in bright red wig. Mr..
Mr. ROdrig, as the snoring, perhaps
deserves more credit than the parts
more visible, and his lung capacity
proved little short of marvellous. Fol
lowing the play, Miss Edna Rsnniman
and Frank Morrow delighted the audi
enee with charming exhibition of
fancy dancing, after which Jack Hor-
ner put on a minstrel show very clev.
erly in solitary state. The shadow
pictures were a fitting culmination of
the entertainment. Mr.. ]. M. Lydgate

the heroine; Mrs. Katherine Burke, as
the stalwart hero; Miss Elena Barker,
as the stern father, and Miss Mabel

some splendid work. "a Night in the
