ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The past week in society has been
one of the fullest for some time, and
the next promises to be even still more
so. What with the entertainments of
the Frawley Company at the Opera
House, at which the society people Of
the city have presented themselves
with clock-like precision, the dance at
the Hawaiian Hotel, the Waikiki par
ties, the late suppers, the wheel runs TO
various parts of the city, and all the
pleasant little dinners for which Ho-
nolulu has such a splendid reputation,
not for one moment forgetting the teas
and luncheons out on board the Ad-
ans and Albatross, the season bids
fair to eclipse all others for many
years back. Perhaps it has been the
Frawley Company that has filled the
city with such gaiety, for in their plays
they have certainly offered stimu-
lus toward such. No one knows what
to attribute it to, but that it does exist
is out of all question. Below will be
found accounts of some of the events
that have gone to make the past week
such a pleasant one.
The boys of the Pacific Tennis Club
gave a reception to the members of
the Frawley Company at their courts,
Union Square, from to Wednesday
afternoon. Although the day was by
no means all that could be desired for
an occasion of the kind, still, that fact
seemed to have but little to do with
the attendance Those who did not
indulge in tennis took part in pleasant
converse on the lanai of the club house.
