THE SOCIAL SIDE.

LIE OOOlaL OlDL.
Very seldom has Honolulu society
been treated to such a delightful event
| as was the party given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred w. Macfarlane at their beautiful
Waikiki home Friday in honor of the
coming Of age of their niece, Miss
Irmgard Macfarlane who has ever been
a favorite especially among the young
people of the city.
The house and grounds were most
beautifully decorated for the occasion.
Leading from the gate to the house and
around to the beach was string of
japanese lanterns casting a soft glow
over the tropic foliage. The house
itself, brilliantly lighted, showed floral
decorations-art rather than pro-
fuse. In effective positions were vases
of different colored flowers or pots of
ferns and palms harmoniZing with the
other decorations. The verandaS sur
rounding the lanai were decorated with
flags hanging in graceful folds. The
Hawaiian Band under the direction of
Professor Berger was stationed at the
! front of the house in a position just
| bordering on the beach and here dis
pensed sweet music for the dance on
the spacious lanai.
