The Kalihi kindergarten children were dressed as Indians and carried -bows and- arrows, looking almost ferocious beneath the gaudy red paint which adorned their faces, Warriors of old 'were repre sented by the children of the Mutiet kindergarten. 'One of the prettiest sections was that, of the Castle kindergarten. A group of prettily gowned little girls led this section, supporting a bower of real flowers. Following them came Indians and cowboys, ? .'. The parade wended its way around the square to a lively tune from the Hawaiian band. Upon the completion of the circle, a halt was called and the kindergartens broke ranks and for an hour afterward romped and played about the square. The Indians pitch ed their wigwams and retired inside to partake of soda water and cakes, but the rest preferred to dance about the bandstand. From beginning to end the celebration was a success, and nothing' unpleasant occurred to mar the beauty of the occasion. To Miss France Lawrence, the kindergarten supervisor, is due con siderable credit for the excellent man ner in which she handled the affair. AH the kindergarten teachers were present with their pupils and added the final touches to the plans which have been in the making for the past several weeks.
