The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-11-22

dehry Crocher ism mayor after all
but he seems as genial and looks as
jolly which might perhaps have been
different had the stress of the position
descended upon him. 1t seemed too
bad that Mrs. Crocker's Honolulu
friends could not have seen her in the
exquisite gown she wore at Norris
Davis's wedding to Therese Morgan.
The gown was really magnificent-Irish
lace trimmed with valenciennes: its
value was past estimating and Mrs.
Croker looked like a picture. She
and her husband have been driving a
good deal lately, and a tandem team
seems to be most popular with them at
present Mrs. Crocker fatty refuses
to accompany Henry in his four-in-
hand coach-which is no reflection on
her husbands good driving for Mrs.
Crocker is very nervous about horses.
Prince Cupid and his wife have been
the observed of all observers at the
Palace and the "Grilr' has had some
extra patrons on account of their pres
ence at dinner every night. For the
fame of the Princess DavidS beauty
has spread throughout San Francisco
and many thought the Princess Cupid
was once the handsome Abigail Camp
bell. Everybody has voted the Princess
very sweet looking woman, and one
enthusiastic society writer declared:
"She wears her clothes as one born to
the purple" so the Princess Cupid has
been appreciated.
Talking of feminine charms, hair
worn in waving tresses down the back
is threatened for full dinner dress.
Those VINO possess not luxurious mas
ses of hair. but whose locks are scanty
and few, mur1nur dire prophecies of a.
hair found floating in the soup; and so
the disaster may be averted.
, A debutante who is being much en-
tertained is Miss Gertrude Dutton,
whose piquant brunette beauty caused
some f1uttering of hearts when she was
| in Honolulu couple of years ago.
Miss Gertrude has brought back lot
of very fetching Paris gowns, which
set off her undeniable good looks, and
a brilliant winter Is without doubt be-
| fore her.
Mrs. Henry Foster Dutton has also
returned to San Francisco and is voted
"handsomer than ever Among other
entertainments in her honor was
luncheon given by Miss Maye Colburn,
who visited Honolulu about the same
time the buttons were there. Both
Mrs. Dutton and Miss Colburn wore
exquisite white costumes with white
hats of the latest designs.
Mrs. Harry Macfarlane has hearty
welcome awaiting her here among a
coterie of warm friends and admirers,
who have heard with delight OF her
prospective visit to California,
no longer the fad, and that dainty
| handmade lingerie has taken their
place as gifts to prospective bride,
but the Harrington girls have proved
that cups are still the popular gift,
for they have the handsomest collec-
ton seen in San Francisco in many a
day. Miss Mary's wedding invitations
were engraved, and she was in great
pilikia,-though she didn't express it
just that way,-when a cable from Cap
tain Niblack announced that he had
the dengue and might not be able to
sail from Honolulu November third, as
he had planned. However a later cable
frightened the situation considerably.
Captain Niblack's bride will not start
in Honolulu an entire stranger for she
has been until recently living at>the
Knickerbocker on Van Ness avenue
| where Mrs. Scott and Miss Marion have
been staying. Marion Scott has given
Miss Harrington many Invaluable Tip"
| and so when she arrives in Hawaii she
will not have to take the stiffening out
| of her collars. or rip heavy Innings out
of her bodices, or find other disastrous
| mistakes to be rectified. 1t is not easy
| in the midst of chill San Francisco
| Autumn to evolve a trousseau for
| balmy Hawaii. However Miss Har-
| rington's is declared a dream by
those who know.
| Colonel Mcclellan was seen walking
on Market street with an interested ex-
preston for the hustle of that busy
street, but when he was greeted he did
not rave over the charms of the city
| where he had been stationed for so
many years in the past. Instead all
his enthusiasm was directed towards
Camp Mckinley and he did not hest
| tate to declare that he was anxious to
return there.
| Another man with an interested ex-
preston was Mr.. Paxton, who was 60
| ing to extend hts vacation to Southern
California.
Mrs. Philip Andrews has left her at
| tractive apartment on Jones street and
has gone toASan Diego, where she is
occupying a pretty cottage with her
small son and daughter Lieutenant
Andrews expects to join her later and
they will winter there.
The New York is at Bremerton and
not a few of the girls are watching
for news of her sailing. Handsome
Ned Neumann is responsible for
share of this interest, for he is on board
and he is gallant enough to write back
that Bremerton is stupid.
Douglass McBryde and his little
daughter have had a welcome in San
Francisco that had a hint of sadness
under it's warmth, for the death of his
charming wife has caused deep sorrow
| to her many friends.
