 The spacious living and dining rooms were redolent with spring flowers. Inters- ting games were played and prizes were won by Miss Irene Milestone, Mrs. John Flanigan and Mrs. J. F. Kemp. Miss Becker, who has been a house guest for some time, was also pre- sented with a prize.
 Mrs. Thomas had in every conceivable way carried out the ''Bluebird for Joy" motif, from the invitations bidding the guests to the close of the afternoon, when she presented the bride-elect with a dainty address book in white kid, with the names of the guests inscribed there in.
 At the completion of the games the hostess brought forth a large laundry basket that had been embellished with a flight of birds around the top, and small apron with a similar design on it. Miss Wallace was then in- vited to the basement to gather her wash, the guests following to see that she properly took down and fold

St. Patrick Card Partu

Quite the largest carC party of the season was thar given last Saturday night by Mir. and Mrs. c. Richard Kelly, when they celebrated the natal day of Ireland'sibe- loved patron saint.
 Wetzler's hall, the scene of the gay affair, had been tastefully decorated for the occasion. A green lattice woven from crepe paper di- vided the large room, the front part being used by the players.
 The walls were hung with festoons of green, inter- woven with the emblems of Ireland shamrock, golden harps and green Irish top hats.
 The favors were shamrock stickpins and paper caps, the caps causing much merry making as the guests donned them during the supper hour.
 Eleven tables had been ar ranged for, each one being centered by Sir Pig bearing the number of the table. Small in size was he, but large enough to encase dainty green candies.
 Whist was played and high scores were made by Mrs. L. Caldwell and MT. John Flani- gan, low scores falling to Mrs. J. F. Kemp and MT. J. H. Scorse.
 Delicious punch was served throughout the evening, and. the St. Patrick idea was car ried out in every form, even to the refreshments.
 MT. and Mrs. Kelly were ably assisted in looking after the pleasure of their guests by Mrs. Kelly's sister, Mrs. Julia Braam.

Special Meeting of County Board

Special Meeting of County Board
 At an adjourned meet ing of the board of county supervisors held in the board room in Holbrook last Monday considerable business of importance was transacted.
 The most important busi- ness was that of calling an election for the purpose of submitting the question of a bond issue for road improve ment. In another column of the News will be found the notice of the election, and it will be noted that an issue of S160, 900 is asked for; also that a commission of three is appointed to apportion the money upon the various roads in the county, provid- ed the money is voted.
 It seems to us that the ac- tion taken by the supervisors. is worthy of the highest praise. It shows excellent business judgment and it should meet the approval of every citizen in the county. Moreover it should insure the success of the bonds.
 The commissioners ap- pointed by the board are Jno. R. Hulet of Holbrook, L. M. Shipley of Winslow and J. J. Shumway of Taylor. All three are men of excellent judgment; they are fair minded and without doubt will handle the business of apportioning the money and building the roads in a satis- factory manner.
 Another matter taken up by the board was that of the payment of salaries of coun- ty officials. It was decided that, in accordance with a recent decision of the su- preme court, the salary law of 1901 fixed the salaries of county officials, and resolu- tion was adopted that, be- ginning April 1, next, sal aries would be paid in ac- cordance with this law. Ac- ton on the payment of back salaries was postponed until the next regular meeting of the board.

WOULD HOLD Up
BUILDERS PAY

Claiming that F. r. Richie. con-
road work, had failed to lay the
amount of asphaltum called for in
the contract, the special committee
f five members submitted a report
to the Manoa Improvement club last
night recommending that the club go
on record as. opposing all further
payments to the contractor for his
work until a complete investigation
be made by the board Of supervisors
The report of the committee was
signed by. ]. A. Balch, F. E. Blake, NJ.
MacIntyre, J. n. S. Williams and Fred
Hons. The club approved of the rec
ommendation.
Supervisor Charles n. Arnold, chair
man of the road committee, present
by invitation, promised that the board
would give consideration to the re-
port of the Manoa club and, if neces.
sary, order an investigation made re-
garding the alleged shortage of as
phaltum. ~
The committee reported that the
contractor had received 2404 barrels
of asphaltum and Of this only $40
tons had been poured upon the streets
The total areakof pavement covered,
according to Engineer Pearce, was
69,S56 square yards, making 1881 gal
Ions per square yard. The committee
emphasized the fact that the con-
tract specifications called for 2.25 gal
Ions per square yard and declared that
this was serious defect in the work
The committee also reported the &C
ton of the board of supervisors fol
lowing the tour made on Tuesday over
the district. Supervisor Arnold, be-
sides promising to look into the mat
ter, said that every effort would be
made to supply three cantoniers for
the Manoa roads to begin work as
soon as the contract was completed.
The club decided to authorize the
purchase of a 800 Liberty bond fol
| lowing which the officers for the en-
suing year were elected as follows:

horn, vice president; G. H. jenkins

FISHCOMPANIES
AND FOOD BODY
Will COOPERATE

Plans which are expected TO result
in a harmonious program in striving
for a reduction in the price Of tlsb
were discussed at length at a meet
ing yesterday afternoon by the terri
torial food commission with the heads
OF local fishing companies.
The meeting was called by the tsn
committee OF the commission to Sc
cure the opinion of the heads OF the
fishing companies and to find out how
far they would be willing TO go to-
ward aiding the commission in reduc-
ing the price of fish. The heads of the
companies declared that they would
give the commission every cooperation
possible and do all in their power TO
put down the present high prices.
II was the opinion Of the fishing
men that the only feasible way to re-
duce the price is to increase the sup
ply OF fish, and various reasons were
put forward for the present shortage.
1t was suggested that a cheaper way
to market the fish be arrived at, and
that overhead expenses be cut down
wherever possible and practicable.
1t was pointed out that at present
there is lack of fish, and no partic-
ular reason could be given for this.
The distance of the feeding grounds
from the port of Honolulu was one
reason advanced for the scarcity.
