MASKED BULL
AT
A New Year's eve masquerade ball
wrb given last night by tbc hoy.i of
Maknwell in their clubhouse. It was
ln?uly attended by guests from the
Whole Island ami some front Honolulu.
Tho stxo of the affair could bo Judged
by llio loni? line of automobiles
parked on both sldos of the street In
front of the club.
Tho grounds wero lighted with long
festoons of Japanese lanterns which
punctuated tho brilliant moonlight
with charming effect. Insido tht
house tho decorations were both taste
ful and appropriate. Flags of various
kinds woro draped about the walls
tho Stars and Stripes piedominntlng
while potted plants and fancy lanterns
completed a pretty picture.
Tho costumes were of all kinds and
colors, some of them showing evidence
of considerable thought and careful
attention to detail. Ono would have
to lio a closo observer and a student
of tho dress of various historical perl
oils to bo able to dellne and appreciate
them nil. However, many of them
needed no definition for tho charm oi
tlioir owners mado any analysis of
costumes a most distracting effort
To classify ono young lady it was
necessary to consult works on orni
thology. entomology and pomology to
find out whether she was a bird, a
butterfly or a peach. If the wings
had been clipped thcro would have
been no trouble at all. A young shep
herdess with her bo-ribboned stalT
spent much time trying to keep In
order a flock of applicants for dances
but many of them only got tho hook
Several very chic chickens from
China fluttered about closely pursuer1
by would-bo partners, while hero and
thoro could bo seen tho dainty maids
of Japan out for a lark, and making
the most of their liberty. They had
loft all care at homo for not a single
obi had a baby sitting on it. One
lady's costume was a puzzle. In lieu
of a better name It might bo called
a sport suit, for she had on what ap
peared to bo -a hunting dross and
fishing boots at least thoy wero loiu1
enough for fishing but it mado little
difference, for no amount of "camou
llago" could disguise or detract from
ono so charming. Tho littlo bird
fancier under tho big hat, and the
two girls witli tho dirigible skirts, the
ono in white, the other In red, all
came in for a sharo of attention; while
the dark-haired beauty in old rose
old rose waist and old roso skirt, old
rose slippers and old rose hoso was
a flower who never had a chanco to
adorn tho wall. Littlo Red Hiding
Hood, so labeled for lack of a better
name for her fascinating personality
clothed in brilliant red, was every
where in evidence; while dozens of
others flitted about in n bewildering
array of hues and shades.
Tho mon appeared in every con
ceivable rig from John Chinaman to
Ileau Urununcl, with yama-yaina suits,
as usual, in the majority (because
thoy are so easy to put on). Ono of
them appeared to bo a Mexican, for
Ills pants wero open-faced around the
feet, and had buttons basted all over
its checkered area with pre-war prodi
gality. Tho hat was missing per
haps it was checked, too. Another
slender youth impersonated tho
leather of our Country, as witli pow
dered wig and white calves, ho waltz
od tho girls around. A very thick-set
baby with bonnet and rattle was hard
to pluco at first. Babies being neuter
gondor up to a certain ago. tho matter
wus left in doubt till later in tho
ovonlng, when a cigarotto drooping
from a corner of his mouth gave him
away.
A most delightful ovonlng was spent
and tho wholo company thanked tho
boys of Mnkawoli and wished thorn
a Happy Now Year. After tho mid
night danco a substantial supper was
served.
Good music was furnished by an
octotte from Lihuo which teased tho
crowd with short dances and long in
tonuissions. Somo very graceful ex
hibitions of tho torpslchorean art woro
also furnished by tho Lihuo contin
gent; and if a contost had boon sot
for tho occasion thoro is no quostion
hut that she- would havo won, cs, C2,

MAKAWELI
LIE DISTRICT
COURT NEWS
Anlanaclo Fnlces, a very young and
handsome but lovesick Filipino, was
brought up in Court charged with a
statutory offense.
Antanacio engaged learned counsel
to defend him and tho case was on
all forenoon before Judge J. L. Hjorth;
the courtroom had to be cleared of all
curious spectators, of which quite a
crowd collected, tho nature of the
case in tho opinion of the Judge re
quiring tills.
It seems Atanaclo, very much in
love with a comely Korean maiden
of a little more than fifteen summers,
had enticed her away from her moth
er's custody, the young lady evidently
willing, and was living with her at
Llhuc when arrested at request of
the outraged mama.
Atanacio was duly convicted after
a lot of hot legal sparring and given
tho minimum fine by tho Court and
emphatically enjoined to sin no more.
On Saturday Anatalio Piniar, an
aged Filipino, was brought up in Court
for examination -as to his sanity and
upon the expert testimony of Dr. E.
X. Young, resident government physi
cian, tho man was committed by the
.ludgo to the Honolulu insane asylum,
it appearing to tho satisfaction of tho
Judge that tho above named Anatalio
I'iuiar was an insane person, and that
tho public safety requires his restraint
until ho becomes of sane mind.
Hereby hangs a sad talo comiuenc
ing with Anatalio boarding the Kiuau
at Nawlliwlll on December 18th bound
for Honolulu, how ho foil down an
open hatch In tho after hold, sustain
ing concussion of tho brain and prob
ably a fractured skull, causing his
present predicament. He was remov
ed to the Llliuo Hospital, where he
aas been cared for since.
Anatalio and a grandchild were on
their way back to tho Philippine Isl
ands whero they wero to enjoy a little
money saved up by tho old man, and
now ho is a public charge without
fault of his own.
While at tho Lihuo Hospital, Anata
lio, who had developed somo cunning,
escaped from tho institution on Fri
day with only ills regulation nightie
on and mado a bee lino for Kealia or
beyond; traveling at tho speed of a
runaway auto, lie successively passed
through Kapaia and Hanamaulu with
flying garment, leaving a vacuum in
the air so to speak, frightening people
along tho road, who thought thoy saw
.1 ghost; when ho had in an almost
incredible time nearly reached the
Wailua bridge, ho was overtaken by
the minions of tho law in hot pursuit
In an auto and captured.
Now Anatalio is Honolulu-bound
again, but for tho halo pupulo, and it
all seems a pity, but ho stands an
excellent chanco of recovering sub
stantial damages from the transpor
tation company if lie over becomes of
sane mind again.
On Monday four gamblers forfeited
bail of $-10.00, bringing total of hues
and costs for December up to ? 10S2.G5,
which was paid over to C. G. Kaulu
kou, Treasurer of tho County.

The second subscription danco for
tho benefit of the Walinen Hall was
held Thursday night at the homo of
Mr. and Mrs. Eric A. Knudhon nnd"
was a great success. All tho young
fyoople from Kalalieo to Mann woro

by 0 tho danco floor was well (Hied.
Ono steps, waltzes and fox trots fol
lowed eacli other in quick order.
Several new features wero Introduced
causing no end of excitement nnd
amusement.
The first novelty was a "lucky
dance." A dozen or more numbered
circles wero drawn on the floor and
when the music stopped suddenly nt
a shrill whistle there was a scramble
for the charmed circles. A spinning
wheel on which tho numbers wero
marked off then settled tho fate of
the lucky couple who were tho recip
ients of various small favors. As
there wore a number of blanks on tho
wheel the excitement was sometimes
prolonged for several dances.
The second feature of tho evening
was a one-step dancing contest for n
handsome loving cup donated by Mr.
Eriing Mnhlum of C. B. Hofgaurd &
Co. Twenty couples entered as con
testants and all who did not dance
voted on tho best dancers. Tho three
couples receiving tho highest number
of votes then danced again and tho
two couples receiving the highest voto
then danced off for tho finals. Tho
final voto stood .10-20 and the cup was
presented to Mr. Roendahl, tho genial
manager of the MoBrydo Sugar Co.
store and his partner, Miss Pillar of
Eleele.
An added Item of interest was tho
almost total ellipse of tho moon which

evening's amusement.

Waimoa Hall on tho third Saturday
of January, at which now features
will bo added.

vice Sunday evening because for tho

Interludes and postludo, In all of
which Mr. Ingalls did ample juslico
to hi sown flno art and to tho tone
and quality of tho organ. Mrs. Ingalls

skill, tho Arioso of Handel.
Tho choir, under tho offectivo lead
ership of the now organ, rendered tho
hymns with lino spirit and harmony.
Mr. Lydgato in tho sermon empha
