The revival of the custom of keeping
''open house" on New Years day was
pleasant reminder of the good old days
of Honolulu. A large number of ladies
made their tables things of beauty and
loaded them with the daintiest edibles
and the choicest of liquid refreshments
to be had. Mountains and valleys were
robbed of their green vines and ferns
to decorate rooms and tables, and the
young men who began in the forenoon
to pay their calls did remarkably well.

Ladies night at the club rooms of
the Honolulu Symphony Society was
most pleasant surprise to those FORUM
ate enough to enjoy the clubs hospi-
taiity. The ladies found the gentlemen
to the point, the orchestra played ex-
ceedingly we'll. 1t was the general
opinion that such an orchestra, which,
in the short time Of it's life plays the
Don Juan overture and Haydn's SYM \
phony so well, must, in another six
months, be a pride to the music loving
public. Nothing so pretenticus has
ever been essayed here before, and the
result of last Saturday evenings per-
formance sustains the belief that really
serious music may be expected from
this club They play with spirit, pre-
cisicn. and intelligence, and interpret
well. The number of
guests at the social was limited, each
being permitted to invite two
friends Refreshments were served.
Among those present were Mr.. and
Mrs. Ernest Kopke, Mr. and Mrs. H.
