hand in his movements, for it was only
at the last moment that he concluded
to make an effort to take passage on
the RIO. With what success Jacox's
wooing would have met is questionable
as the young lady insists that there
was noedefinite understanding between
them. On board the Rio he made many
friends. He was one of the first pas
sengers up on that last morning. Miss
Ripley, one of the survivors, says that
when she came on deck there were no
passengers out except Jacox, who was
fully dressed. The last seen of him
was by Freight Clerk Englehardt, who
saw him running, after the boat had
struck, toward the bow, which was al
ready under water. He was strong and
active and good swimmer and his
friends think that something must have
struck him, rendering him unconscious.
and thus cut off all chances of escape.

There is a dearth of clubs for young
people in Honolulu, where there is so
great an opportunity for forming into
little social bands for self-improvement.
Girls clubs are legion in cities of the
Mainland, the purposes of which are
manifested, not the least of which is
social culture, to fit their younger ele-
ment for entrance into that larger and
older social life to which they naturally
fall heir. Trousseau clubs among the
girls has become the fad, and the live
lieSt interest is taken to make them
successful. The clubs, formed with the
one prevailing idea that all their mem
bers will some day change their names,
are to assist each other in making
ready their trousseaus. Meeting at in
tervals. their time is devoted to chat
ting and working upon some portion of
the wedding finery. The first member
to become a benedictress receives as a
gift from the others all the trousseau
then ready. The clubs purposes are
obvious, and no wonder that the girls
enjoy the prospect.

nolulu, given in honor of Imperial Po-
tentate Lou B. Winsor and the members

Gle many leagues to visit the hot
SANDS of Waikiki, took place at the new

the strains of music not only from the
orchestra, but from the waves beneath
the hau. The banquet was a magniii
cont affair, and none was ever given

brilliant social success. The local tenn
pie of Shriners invited not only the
members of the Imperial Pilgrimage,
but many of the townsfolk had an OPP
portunity to greet the wearers OF the
fez. The drill shed was artistically dec

tiful. The ball was a dressy affair.
