Although Lent has prohibited many
amusements for the Episcopals the
feminine element of the other churches
do not seem to be too much effected
to indulge in little games of bridge,
at which the nimble dime often changes
hands.
In fact, bridge has almost entirely
ousted pedro" and has come to stay.
II is more satisfactory game, and
requires enough study to make 1t rath-
err complicated, IL one goes in for 1t.
II has been the raeg In other towns
for a year or more, but the bridge
craze has only just arrived, and, as
Honolulu is nothing II not intense, we

Friday evening. The table was dressed
In the Italian colors. and the effect
OF the green, white and red was brill

ton for beauty and charm since living
here. In fact there are some who think
her far prettier as matron. She has
brought back some stunning frocks,
and Is most generous about telling the
girls what they are wearing in San
Francisco.
1t was most amusing to walk about
the day after the storm and view the
different articles put out to air on the
lanais. 1t didn't much matter what
was there providing they all got the
sun. Some strangers who went calling
on Nuuanu avenue at most conven-

saw trousers, and those articles of fem
mime apparel usually regulated to the
back fence, gaily moving to and fro
in the breeze. The hostess, not in the
least abashed, explained to the puzzled
visitors that sun bath was an abso-

hamlet with the firm conviction that
