residences OF most VI liOoC VIZ
entertain extensively. True, house re-
! oeptions and lanai dances are mostly
INDUCED in by reason of the uncertain
. ty of the elements. But in the dry sea-
son when the night air is adapted for
lawn fetes, there seems to be no rea-
son why the open air parties should not
be given. The climate of Honolulu Is
admirably adapted for this form OF
amusement. At Moanalua and WAIKIKI
the lawn parties have been social sue
cesses, and all Honolulu should take
heed of the example set by these en-
! tertainers.

their many friends vieing with each
other for the honor. On last Wednes-
day evening they attended dinner
