The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-07-12

Summer in San Francisco is not
summer in clothes, and this one re-
allies in ones winter lingerie, while
shivering in the breezes. There's no
summer girl here; the summer effects
are all in the fruit and many different
varieties testify to the fact. Melons,
plums, pears. peaches. apricots,. cher
ries. currants. strawberries, raspber-
ries. blackberries. Logan berries, or
anges, pine-apples, bananas, apples
all displayed on the fruit stands at
once and with prices attached almost
as aIluring as the fruit itself. Twenty
apricots for five cents. read the signs;
a nickel will also buy a bag of cher
ries. Only the pine-apples are lonely,
not only because they do not come
down to five cents, but cold weather.
and pine-apples seem to suggest a
painful possibility.
San Francisco hardly seems in sea-
son this year for the usual summer
exodus has not been as noticeable.
Sothern with his stirring and romantic
play, eff 1 were King drew the near
by country to town, for enc thing. and
large number of people are going to
Tahoe in July and have remained in
San Francisco until then.
| y HONOLULU TOURISTS.
Mrs. Tenney and Mrs. Noonan, who
are comfortably settled at the Edge
mere on Bush street, where Mrs. Hast
ings has been staying all winter, are
going to Tahoe the 1st of July. 1t seems
natural to see these three sisters to-
gether at the theatres and in the shops.
They have-had couple of jolly thea
ire parties given in their honor and
their rooms, ever since their arrival,
have been converted into veritable
floral bowers by their friends.
A popular girl, who is much missed
this summer, is Mamie Josselyn. who
is in Honolulu visiting Mrs. F. NJ.
Hatch Miss Mamie is, and has been
always, the greatest favorite among
the Josselyn girls, although each has
her own admirers. She is voted an all
around favorite" and is not only COM
panionable to those of her own age, but
is also a pet among the older set. The
Josselyn girls have a wealthy father
and generous allowance, but there
are few rich girls who dress with as
much taste. In this day of over-elab-
grafton in gowns. the girl who can af-
ford it is apt to be over-dressed. The
gowns of the Josselyn girls are always
refreshingly simple in contrast. There
has been heard more than one ex-
preston of regret that Mamie is not
to be one of the house-party at Wood
side, planned for July 4th at the beau
tiful country home owned by Mr. JOS
selyn.
A FLOOD OF CHAMPAGNE.
A new fad just being introduced here
by the select has surprised a few, sat
isfied some. and embarrassed others.
AT small but fashionable dinner of
eight. the other night. champagne was
served from the leginning and as each
glass was emptied, it was removed and
a clean one with a chill touch. which
testified to it's recent proximity to an
ice chest, was brought on and filled |
AS the better half of a couple remark
ed afterwards.
'It was an awful moment when Wills |
tenth glass was replaced. I stopped |
counting then; but 1 wonder if the !
pantry did,"
The decision is pending whether it's
best to thus accentuate a thirst, or
chance the blending of different bot
ties, for the epicure is aware that no
two bottles can have exactly the same
flavor.
UNLUCKY NANCE O'NEILL.
be unlucky. After an unsuccessful
season in New York she returned to
San Francisco where she is always sure
Of an audience, only to have the Re
public Theatre burned, after she had
given few performances there. Not
only was there other theatre avail
able for her at the time, but besides
she lost some treasured possessions.
1t is rather a perplexing problem why
Nance O'Nein is not more of a sue
cess with her undeniable beauty and
talent. Was ever a more stunning I
blonde beauty than she. seen in the
streets of Honolulu. or San Francisco.
Some ascribe her lack of success to
the poor management of Mckee Ran
