clever mite that he is-to mislead by
dexterous distracting of attention from
any one direction toward many. From
the old-time palace, which in other
days was doubtless his familiar ground,
he has flown to the hotels, and there,
while the dreamy Hawaiian melodies

The engagement of Miss Gertrude
Scott and Mr.. Richard Ivers, which
was announced on Wednesday, is ex-
citing particular interest in society.
Miss Scott, who has been an Island
girl since her childhood, is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. M. M. Scott, Of
Nuuanu Valley. She is a t3ll blonde
of splendid carriage, due, doubtless,
partly to her love of athletics>of all
kinds, in which, like most Isfand girls,
she excels, being splendid horse
woman, one of the most graceful of
swimmers, and an expert tennis play
| er. But though these attributes might
win her admiration, it is not for them
| that she is regarded with such par
| ticular kindness in society, and in the
English work since her graduation
from Berkeley some three years ago.
Miss Scott is possessed of gentle
courtesy of manner, combined with a
girlish enthusiasm, not only in her own
pleasures, but in those Of others, which
has made her one of the most general
favorites of Honolulu Mr.. Richard
Ivers, who is a popular club man, is
a brother of Mrs VIM. G. Irwin.
