Very seldom has Honolulu societ!
been treated 10 such a delightful even
as was the party given by Mr.. and Mrs
Fred w. Macfarlane at their beautiful
Waikiki home last night in honor of tbs
coming of age of their niece, Mis-!
Irmgard Macfarlane who has ever beer
a favorite especially among the younf
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 a string OF
japanese lanterns casting soft glow
over the tropic foliage. The house
itself, brilliantly lighted, showed floral
decorations-artistic, rather than pro-
fuse. In effective positions were vases
of different coIored flowers or NDts of
ferns and palms harmonizing with the
other decorations. The yerandas 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. The order of the
evening was the dancing nearly every
