n OCIETY has awakened from a
long period of inactivity into a
~ restless whirl of events which
have kept the matrons and debu-
tantes quite busy for the past week.
This sudden revival of social affairs
brings with it the promise of a long
siege of entertainments, luncheons,
teas, dinners and card parties, to say
nothing of pleasant little outings and
.luaus where Bohemia makes a fine
showing. The past week has been an
Ieventful one, despite the ashes and
sackcloth of the Passion Week

Tire Kilohana Art League tea given
last Saturday afternoon by the Literary
Eircle of the League, was a most de-
ightful affair. The chief feature of The
program was the reading, by its author,
Mrs. b. F. Dillingham;, of the story
which last year won the Leagues prize.
The quaint little romance, with Its
touches here and there of pathos or
clever glimpses of human nature show
ing through the faithful picture of Ha-
waiian life and customs which the story
paints, held the eager interest of the
audience until the final bit of fun with
which it closes.
J At the left Of the stage, almost hidden
behind bank of palms and ferns, were
grouped the bevy of fair young girls
( from Kawaiahao Seminary, whose sing

thoroughly enjoyed during the afternoon,
