question of considerable moment is
troubling the minds of a score OF society
folk as to which of two invitations they
ought to accept for this evening. The
invitations reached them about the same
time, yet il is known that the one to
poi supper to be given by very popu-
lar young society man was issued first,
and that the one for outing on the
Koolau side of Oahu for the same even
ing was issued only when the authors
heard of the poi supper. Those who are
not invited to either function are view
ing the rivalry with interest, and have
resigned themselves to anxious WAITING
until next Sunday when it will probably
be known which side was victorious.
Behind the rivalry there is a piece of
gossip in which the majority OF the
younger element of society has talked
over for a week or more. A fashionable
wedding took place some time ago. Sew
eral of the society set from San Fran
cisco came to Honolulu to be present
In\ the party was a very popular young
lady and she became the guest of some
of the Honolulu 400.
A handsome young relative of her
hostesses, the one who is giving the poi
supper, paid marked attention to her.
for she was a very charming young
woman Some of the male friends of the
hostesses did likewise, and soon a cold
ness sprung up between the girl from
San Francisco and these young ladies
of Honolulu. The GOODNESS increased un-
til wide breach separated them and
they spoke not when they passed by.
All were present at the cotillion given
week or so ago. The young lady from
the Bay City sat opposite her former
hostesses, but took part in the same set.
All eyes We're frequently centered upon
the conflicting social elements, when
ever the neared each other during the
mazes of a cotillion figure, but nothing
happened except that those in their vi
cinity complained of the cold. Finally
the visitor sailed away to the Orient
and the tension in society circles was
relieved, only to be frightened
again by the issuance of the two invi-
tations. The question has stirred social
ranks to the center, and the outcome is
awaited with interest

Mrs. Acknowledgements announces the
engagement of Miss Ruth Karr and Mr.
James S. Mckee.
Rumor says that an engagement of a
popular young society facorite, who lives
in Makiki and quite near the Punahou
aristocratic ne.ghborhood, may be an
at an early date.
