gone, and is still undergoing, a
great change. Originally itfwas, as
has been SO often, said, li}k one big
family; to be within the Charmed pre-
cinct at all was to Iknok everyone, to
share in all fun, pc a part of all
merriment. Now h has come to be
made up of many different branches
which, something like the spokes of
huge wheel. diverge from the one
pleasure hub, and often become the
united circumference of it's outer rim
for some big event, yet are In general,
quite distinct as to their direction-of
seeking gayety. There is the church
circle, whose pretty lawn parties,
charity teas, fairs or musicales, lee
Honolulu's most pleasant social fea
lures. There is the athletic circle, that
surf and play tennis, golf and polo.
There is the gay circle with partial
ity for luaus or poi luncheons. There
is the maritime circle, whose members
take their pleasure on launches or
yachts. There is the card circle, who
can forget the most sitting wealth
er for their interest in the game.
There is the blase circle of club mas
culines, who hunt. And there is also,
already, quite a nucleus for a Bohe-
milan set here, or perhaps 1t would be
more correct to say those who have
been elsewhere of Bohemia but who
have, in Honolulu, sedately put away
all traces save such as are suggested

dinner cigarette between fair fingers,
or their more than average ability to
concoct savory dishes from a chatting
bowl. Which, by the way, suggests
there are ever so many delicious dishes
at ones disposal now that there are in
the market certain things-terrapin,
frogs and Coast fish-which, in the not
distant past, were palatable luxuries
anticipated only as part of Mainland
pleasures.
At jolly little lunch of four, not
chartreuse of salmon was tested and
won loads of praise:
Parboil a cup of rice five minutes,
drain, and steam until tender in about
three cupfuls of milk or stock, season
ed with salt and two tablespoonsful of
curry powder. Line a buttered mould
with rice. Fill the center with a pound
of cooked salmon, faxed. seasoned
with salt, pepper, and lemon juice;

1t is to be deplored that the unjust
individual who has issued orders to his
reporters to roast" the opera compa-
ny, quite regardless as to whether they
do good work or i'll, was not allowed to
step into Mrs. w. Hoffman's pretty
drawing room for a few moments IF
the day, early in the week, when Miss
Josephine Stanton was being\enteyeain-
ed there. The black of the LOVELY gown
Miss Stanton wore, he migfT have
substituted in the background of his
sombre imagination for the vengeful
thoughts he's been harborIng against
her company. To fill the gap made by
the lack of ducats for probably expect
ed but non-nlaterialized advertising of
their season, he might have carried
away picture of the exquisite silver
trimmings of that same gown. His
hard heart would undoubtedly have
been softened into an unselfish GAL
1antry by the charming grace Of the
fair lady being feted, and conquered,
he would have hied him away with the
firm determination to give in future,
truthful reports Of the operate per-
formances in which she leads.
