Club with a desire to go TO Honolulu
Never have more enthusiastic accounts
of Island life been brought to dazzle
hum-drum San Frapcisco-so voted
after a seance with Messrs. Wilson
and Barton. Never has more envy
been aroused on the subject OF vaca-
ton trip.
Mr.. and Mrs. Adam Grant have sail
ed for Tahiti instead Of going to Ha-
wall. though Mrs. Grant has been plan
ming a trip to the Islands for several
years. Mrs. Grant has many friends
in Honolulu, and pleasant recollections
of former trip there have made her
anxious to go again But a longer sea
trip was decided upon, and with Mrs.
Grants sister, Mrs. Judge Hunt, and
the Colin Boyds, a congenial party
started off a few days ago, laden down
with flowers and good wishes OF bon
voyage.
Admiral Schley is all smiles and ap-
probation, for he is being made much
of in California. His picture, ap-
preaching life size, in the morning
papers, and big headlines announcing
him 1.-THE Hero of Santiago" must
prove eficacious as a nerve tonic. So
no wonder Admiral Schley looks be-
Ringn.
upTcCO mEDOTNc. CUSTOM.
1t was a conservative set of girls
who came out from the Mclean home
on Pacific avenue and, hatless and
wrapIess, decorated the brides car
riage until it looked like the prize
vehicle of a floral parade. In the
the passing cars found ex-
cuse for a stop at the corner and the
gaily dressed bevy of girls were the
cynosure of admiring or critical-as
the case may be-eyes. 1t would be
another story to adopt this really pref
ty idea in Honolulu, where the aloha
of the Islands would be apt to take the
place of harsh criticism, and where
the lawn of sequestered garden
would be slightly different in effect
from street scene.
The carriage, when finished, was
very gorgeous; it had a large white
satin bow in the back tying yeritabIe
trees of green. Big bouquets adorned
the doors, tied with snowy ribbons, the
coachman was buried up to his knees
n pink roses, and tall plumes of pink
blossoms decorated the horses heads. !
4 couple of blocks away another car !,
'iage was stationed, awaiting the bride
ind groom, for probably never will
decree lead the newly mar +
led pair to "stay where they are put"
" their merciless friends.
DAY TIME JEWELRY.
Custom excuses a great deal; does
excuse the jewels worn in the day
inc with street costume? Mrs. Hattie
rocker Alexander, fresh from New
,ork where she has had unquestioned
ocial position, wears, during her
luncheon and 'ttea" engagements, or
Thile making calls, a rope-chain
Tould hardly suffice for description
t large pearls; too large to be believ
d real if worn by any but a Croker;
hey are knotted loosely and fall be-
NV her waist. Besides this diamond

lille a priceless pin of pearls and di-
monds. and exquisite ear rings, were
worn.
Mrs. Rudolph Spreckels also wears
lany handsome jewels with street
Her favorite jewelry this
inter is two diamond hearts. one

lshionable long chains, too, a success
on of brilliant stones.
TROUBLE IN THE SPRECKELS
FAMILY.
This handsome, popular young wom-
l is full of anxiety just now. and it
