A Notable Social Event

The fancy dress "At Home" given by
DR.. and Mrs. Edgar N. Young on Satur
day evening will long be remembered
with pleasure by those who were pres
ent. 1t was joyous affair, where
dainty Japanese and Chinese maids
medieval princesses, petite maids and
dignified danes OF the Colonial per
ion, Japanese priests, Spanish senior
itas, numerous clowns and clownettes
and other characters, all mingled to
gether with happy and noisy abandon
The living room, dining room, par
lor and billiard room were thrown
open for dancing and proved most
excellent for the purpose.
The music for the the occasion
was furnished by the Imperial orch
estra, stationed on the back lanai, and
the Lihue band, which occupied the
enclosed court.
After the guests had all arrived
horns, whistles and other noise pro
ducing instruments were passed
around, and with confetti and colored
paper streamers plentifully distribut
ed, everybody forgot their dignity and
fell in with the demands Of the oc
casion. Thereafter JOY and noise
reigned supreme.
The dances came fast, but as the
evening was exceptionally cool, and
the music exceptionally good, the
floor was crowded with jolly dancers
on each occasion.
A delicious punch was served
throughout the evening and at eleven
o'clock the guests enjoyed ice cream
and cake.
The jollification continued up to
midnight, when the merrymakers bid
their gracious host and hostess good
night, and wended their several ways
homeward, to add this event to their
store of pleasant memories.

COMPLIMENTARY TO
THE LYDGATES

There was a very delightful social
given by the Lihue Union Church at
the home of Mr.. and RMS. S. w. Will
cox, rGove Farm, last evening, at
which there was large and most
congenial gathering of the members
and the friends and supporters of the
church.
At an opportune time in the even.
ings program, Mr.. and Mrs. Lydgate
were led up to the front and were
presented with a beautiful sterling
silver tea and coffee set of six pieces,
together with very artistic tray for
the same, all duly engraved with the
initial l.. Miss Mcintyre made the
presentation speech and did it very
gracefully and appropriately.
Mr.. Lydgate replied feelingly and
yet with much humor, touching on the
impossibility Of tearing up and NOV
ing away after being here nearly "a
years and commenting on the fact,
that in any case, Lihue was the only
place to live. Kauai was the only
Island, and Lihue the only place on
it to be really happy: mot even Ho-
nolulu-not even Hilo was "in it" with
Lihue. And this was the time to stay
in iLhue, with the Mokihana Club
keeping the men, as well as the wo-
men. straight and with fresh invoic-
es of pink-cheeked and rosy-lipped
teachers arriving from the Coast
every few months-What better or
safer place was there to spend ones
declining days?"
In conclusion he assured them of
his desire to retain his place in their
affections, and of his readiness to
serve them in any way that he could.
Following the presentation the ev-
ening was spent most enjoyably in
trying out some very interesting and
novel games, proposed and engineer
ed by Miss Bissenger, who sized up
the crowd as an intellectual one and
dealt out the games accordingly. One
of them involved an original and i'm
promptu bit of verse, on a five min
ute limit. A number of excellent and
unique quotations were turned out
the best, by popular vote, being that
of Homer Lydgate, on the tragedk of
the mosquito that slid off papas bald
haad and landad on the floor with a
crash. A really clever thing. He got
the prize.
Some very excellent and puzzling
charades added much to the enjoy
ment of the evening. Most delicate
and delicious refreshments brought to
a close one of the most delightful af'
fairs that iLhue has seen in a long
time,

THE WRECK OF
THE OKANAGAN

The Okanagan, four-masted
schooner of 1900 tons, laden with
nitrate from Chile for Port Allen, lies
on the rocky shore of the Beach Drive,
a complete wreck.
She made the Island Wednesday
morning early, feeling her way eau
tiously for Port Allen, which they say,
was not on their map. She ran up
the coast as far as Kapaa, then tack
ed back close in shore, until she got
along toward the lighthouse off the
Marine Drive, when the wind died
away, and caught in the current, she
drifted inshore helplessly until she
was dangerously near, when she an
chored. This was along about night
fall. Taking advantage of a little
puff of wind she got under way again,
but no sooner had she done so than
the wind died away and again she
was left at the mercy of the current,
which swept her in onto the rocky
shore, which she struck amidships,
broadside on little later, and pound
ing against a protruding ledge, she
broke square in two and then went
rapidly to pieces.
The captain and crew, numbering
ten men in all, escaped with difficulty
by means of the ships boat, having to
board the same on the weather side
hof
ming, while overhead the masts and
rigging threatened to topple down on
them at any minute. They left her
just as they stood, saving nothing of
their effects, and made their way in
|. the darkness, to Ahukini, where they
were made as comfortable as possible
in the plan alton warehouse.
The Okanagan was a wooden vessel
some twenty odd years old, owned in
San Francisco, and was laden with a
thousand tons of nitrate for Hawaiian
Sugar and McBryde, which is valued
roughly at 100000. Nitrate deliquesces
Immediately on contact with water,
like salt, so that no trace Of it is left,
but hundreds of bags are swashing
about in the sea, and piled up amid
the wreckage on the shore.
The wreck was disposed of under
sealed bids and went to A. H. Hobart
as the highest bidder, for the trifling
sum of $4,000. Hobart after realiz-
ing on the smaller and more portable
stuff, disposed of the wreck and the
rest of the stock to Lihue Plantation,
which is salvaging some of the sails,
the bags, the copper fastenings, etc,
and will come out with a handsome
profit.
