61.17 i Reading the fascinating book by Una Hunt Drage, recalled that croquet was one of the favorite ways of entertaining guests at a fashionable garden party in the early 1900's in Hawaii. The author states that she felt absolutely hoydenish "cracking away bare-handed" at her ball when all the other women kept on their long white kid gloves, which frequently split during the excitement of the game. The women wore huge hats and garden party frocks of lace or chiffon with short trains that swished through the grass. In those days no one had thought of shipping Christmas greens from the great Northwest and as no pines or spruces were growing here people in Hawaii had to improvise their Christmas trees. AT THE TIME of which she wrote George and Helen Carter's daughters, Bud, who grew up to bee ovm Mrs.

Evaradus Bogardus, and Phoebe, who is now Mrs. Douglas Alexander of Bur-lingame, California, were little girls. They took the author to their father's carriage house where the skeleton of their tree was housed from year to year. It consisted of a tall wooden pole with spikes of diminishing length set at right angles for branches. With sparkling eyes young Bud told her that after the children had gone to bed Santa Claus always came and made the tree all green with a star on top, and streamers of silver rain and popcorn chains and colored balls.

POLO GAMES were taken very seriously in those days and when some visiting team from India or the States arrived, polo became the social event of the week and everybody turned out for the game. The polo grounds on the Sam Damon estate were used most often. The writer had been invited by a young man friend to drive out to see the game on the occasion of the visit of an English team. Mrs. Carter assured her it would be quite proper for her to drive alone in the buggy with the young man as they would inst a nart rf a Inn? nro- cession of carriages and 11U1 iIVUBklk ItUVld the game.

The young girl was wear ing her best muslin dress with sash of red and was planning to wear the red carnation leis on hat and shoulders which her escort was sending her. Later, to her great disappointment, Mrs. Carter told her that being a semi-public international affair, only the "kanakas" would wear leis. As it had been less than a year since Hawaii had be come a territory of the United States, it was felt that all the "haoles" must appear as American as possible. So no leis could be worn.

THE AUTHOR stated that her only hat had become so faded in the Hawaiian sun that she could not wear it, so Mrs. Carter had loaned her one of hers which she had retrimmed, covering it with white artificial roses. The writer remembers how provoked her escort had been at the ancient looking jappivciafa.
