1t is hard to believe that moonlight
bathing parties have been given at
Monterey, not because of their uncon-
ventionality, but because Of the icy
waters. There has been great secrecy
SO far as to the participants, for there
seems to be an idea afloat that infinite
wickedness is attached to an ocean
bath by the rays of the moon instead
of the suns brighter light. Custom
is indeed an iron-clad ruler. The
Waikiki resident could hardly call up a
moral shudder at the thought of a
moonlight bath. However, as it is
said, perhaps in excuse of Monterey
latest diversion, that sea bathing al
night is cure for nervousness, it may
become the fashion. The relaxa ton
and sound sleep, following a plunge
just before retiring, is sure cure fol-
nerves.

The report in the newspapers thai
Mrs. Whiting was seriously i'll with
smallpox at Goat Island, occasionet
much wrath among that popular little
1ady's many friends. Mrs Writing
had chickenpox and this gave rise t.

known as a great polo player in British
India, where he has the finest
of Australian ponies in that part o
the country. He plays polo tire,
hours every day in the year
When the polo player of Hawai-
feels warm, he should recall t
mind that this famous player otter
pursues the game when the sun is ~
season the game goes on in a downpoul
that would drive horses and riders un
der cover in any other part of the
world. The American and EuglisI
game is played on the turf, but the
Malayan sport is on a field of rolled
sand, hard as a billiard table 1t is
generally 500 yards long and $50 broad

Colonel and Mrs. Maus will be vel
remembered in the Islands for every
body liked this attractive couple. Mrs
Maus is as girlish, and slim, and blonde
as ever. Colonel Maus has lately been
assigned to duty at Fort Reno, Okla
homa. Mrs Maus is at present with
her mother, Mrs. Poor, in New York
State, but will soon join her husband
Colonel and Mrs. Maus have been very
lucky in their army life; two winters
in San Francisco, two in Washington,
trip to Honolulu, the Philippines and
the Orient, and then another gay win
ter in Washington. The change to
Oklahoma will be great. but it is safe
to predict that Mrs. Maus will adapt
herself to life there as readily as she
does everywhere else.
