RED CROSS FETE
AT KNUDSEN HOI
10011 10 LUAU
AT
NAWiLIWIL
Hoea, the liome of Mr. and Mrs.
A. Kmiilsen with its spacious
grounds was transformed into n
typical fairyland on Monday,
November 23rd. When the ladies
of Waimea District, headed by
Mrs. Knudsen, gave a Garden
Festival for the benefit of the Red
Cross War Fund.
A more ideal evening for the af
fair could not have been wished
for and this made a large atten
dance possible, including people
from Mana" to Lihue.
The main attraction of the even
ing was the concert given by Mrs.
Bessie Abbott Ilowland , the not
ed operatic singer, who was ac
companied by Miss lionise Day, of
Lihue. Mrs. Rowland's voice,
under perfect control, was admired
and appreciated by all present and
her pleasing personality won for
her on Kauai a great many friends.
Mrs. Putman, of Lihue, and Dr.
West, of Makaweli, violin selec
tions, as well as Mr, Dougherty's
jsjuging were the means of adding
,rtnaterially to the musical end of
the evening's program.
Among the other attractions on
the program was the interesting
Norwegian Spring Dance, interpre
ted ny Miss Ida L' Orange and her
brother Hans L'Oraug, both 'of
, whom were attired in Norwegian
peasant costumes. Mis. Howland,
assisted by Mr. Morrow, of Lihue,
danced the cver-facinatii'g tango,
with her usual grace and style.
A good many things were raffled
off and this added to the amusement
of the evening and aided material
ly the income of the affair. A
number of booths in the various
parts of Mrs. Knudsen's spacious
grounds were presided over by. the
ladies of the district. Here one
could be served with coffee, cocoa,
cakes, sandwiches, drinks, candy
and it anyone tounct himselt in
urgent need of having his fortune
told, there were a number of Gyp
, sies present who for a small sum
V would tell your past, present and
future-and for a large sum one's
"future" could be much improved
upon.
All credit is due to the following
ladies whose active participation
made the evening a most success
ful affair: Mesdames Knudsen,
Brandt. Ewart. Hofgaard, Dan-
ford, Lyman, Hansen. Schultze,
West, Banhain, Kalbaum, Oliver,
Greig. Misses Lee, Cummings,
Johnson, von Arnswaldt.L'Orange,
Jackson, Mengler, Anderson, lSs-
taves and others,
Although the affair took place
on a Monday night it did not intei-
fere with the attendance, to judge
from the receipts.which aggregated
over S3.S0.00.
John Lovell, Jr., of the Nuwi
liwili Garage, and Miss Victoria
Kaipo, ward of Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam Fernandez, were married in
the presence of a very large audi
ence at the residence of Captain
Kuoka Lovell, Nawiliwili, at 7:30
last Wednesday evening, Novem
ber 25, Rev Isaiah K. Kaatnvai,
pastor of the Kapaa Native Church,
performing the ceremony.
For the occassion the Lovell res
idence had been elaborately deco-
Ucd with maile and flowers. In
corner of the parlor was a huge
bower of green and flowers, be
neath which the bridal couple
stood during the ceremonies and
tiring the reception which follow
d. The marriage ceremonies were
followed immediately bv a record-
reaking luau in a specially con
structed lanai, covering almost the
ntire rear lawn. The spread was
the most complete attempted on
Kauai in many a day, and was
much enjoyed, as was attested by
vidences of pleasure on the sea of
faces spreading out through the
pavilion.
The big luau was followed by
dancing on the neighboring veran
da, excellent music being supplied
by a string orchestra. The party
gradually broke up and the last
'alohas" were said about 11 o'clock.
Numerous presents were receiv
ed by the bride and groom al
most enough to furnish a part of
their home. These presents were
displayed on tables in one of the
rooms, and proved highly interest
ng to all particularly to prospec
tive brides present.
iJoth tne bride and groom are
well known at Nawiliwili, Lihue
md over much of Kauai, and
many friends share in the hope for
their future happiness.

London Little fighting reported from Belgium last night'. The
Germans remained on the defensive all day. while the Allies made
more secure the positions thev had taken in the past few days. The
utillerv fire of the Germans is repotted to be feeble.
A British military observer, writing of the present situation, savs
that since the enemy abandoned their attacks in force along the Bel-
jian frontier, the lighting has reduced itself to a sort of sniping
competition, and a series of small allairs, winch were contested witn
rifles and grenades, bombs, mortars, mines, etc.
The excellence of the British commissariat is largely responsible
for British succes-.es. Probably no other troops in the war are so well
fed and supplied as the British.
GERMANY WANTS MORE MONEY
Amsterdam The governor of the province of Brabant, Belgium,
called the financiers of Brussels together and demanded $7,000, COO
monthly for the support of the German troops. He also imposed an
.uldiiioiial penalty of $75,000,000 for violation of the neutrality laws,
from which, it is claimed, Germany had suffered.

Donations To Band

The fair given bv the Lihue
school in the Lihue Social Hall
Saturday afternoon and evening
proved a great success in every
way. Quite a tidy sum was realiz
ed, which will go toward buying a
typewriter and other equipment
ceded in the school that is not
rovided for by the department of
ducation.
Teachers of the school and assis
tants gathered at the hall in the
forenoon and after several hours of
iligent work had transformed it
into a bower of fest've green.
Tables were sst at convenient po
sitions, upon which were displayed
the handiwork of the school and
umerous articles donated by
friends, to say nothing of candies,
ice cream and other refreshments
of a litrht order.
The fair during the afternoon
went off with a bang. The place
was literally jammed with people
f all ages, many Japanese children
being in evidence. So heavv was
the business, in fact, that by even
ing most of the tables were almost
depleted. At the conclusion of the
evening hours all that remained
upon the tables was auctioned off.
Messrs. H. Vincent and S. IS.
Hannestad efficiently assisting in
that part ol the work.
Miss Mumford, principal of the
chool, who was an untiring work-
ur for the success of the fair, ex
pressed herself at tlu close as be
ing more than satisfied wifli"tfic
results and as appreciating erv
much the ready and liberal support
given by the public.
The ladies in charge of the vari
ous sections of the fair were as
follows:

Burke.

alteruoon and narrowly escaped
death. As it was he got off with
a badly Uruised and lacerated leg,
which will keep him out of com
mission for several days.
The horse and rider were com
ing out of the lane from the direc
tion of Rice's stables. Flag auto 260
was approaching down the road,
going toward Nawiliwili. At the
foot of the lane the horse became
fractious and pranced directly to
ward the oncoming auto. Seeing
the danger of collision, the auto
driver turned his machine quickly
away to the left, as far as he could
possibly go without striking the
stone wall. The machine was in
this position of turning when the
maddened horse dashed into it.
Ono was thrown against t h e
wheels of the machine, but was
not run over. One leg of his trou
sers was caught in the auto in
some way, however, and torn off,
and that leg (the right) was the
one worst damaged.
The driver of the auto (.a very
kindly man, and, moreover, wl.o
was in no way to blame for the
accident), stopped his machine
and made h l s passengers wait
while he took the injured man to
Lihue Store and to medical assis
tance.
