Rudolph Spreckels. Mrs. John Spreck-
els, Jr., Mrs. W. G. Irwin. Mrs. Robert
Oxnard, each has a most becoming vel
vet costume. Mrs. Irwin when seen
at ''tea" in black velvet embroidered
in jet with just hint of Paris" from
neck to hem, makes an attractive pic
ture. Helene Irwin in a brown velvet.
walking length" with exquisite lace
to set it off and her aristocratic head
held well up in the air, and her patri-
clan face framed by a becoming hat,
attracts much admiring attention.
Mrs. Rudolph Sprecllels was never
handsomer and is actually stunning in
gray velvet with which she wears a
coat of chinchilla, three quarters
length, and a aft and hat OF the same
fur.
1t is said the sablcs worn by Mrs.
Gus Spreckels in New York are COM
mented upon even there. Lurline too
wears handsome sahles, but those worn
by her mother might belong to an en-
press.
Lily Lawlor has an ermine cape
which falls below her knees and which
is ornamented by a priceless lace col
lar-oape; Thu wrap was given her by
rich woman who has been one of many
to take this remarkable girl into her
heart-and into her bank account
What the secret of Lily Lawlor's pecu-
liar power of attraction may be would
take a Tolstoi, or a Mrs. Humphrey
Warde to analyZe. At any rate we
all know that Lily Lawlor walked
straight into San Francisco's four hun
dred out of cheap little rented house
on Broadway. She went to Paris
without cent beyond what her trip
cost, and rode with the flower of
French nobility and all the rich Ameri-
cans. And now she has fairly dashed
into New Yorl.'s Smart Set and has
persuaded them she is handsome, tall
ented and in every way desirable.
Wouldn't it be a neat charity for some
millionaire to offer. the fair Lily a
cool million, or so, for her receipt and
then present it to the girls without
dots instead, for instance, of sending
them to Paris for career in art.
"A woman who has grown very popu-
lar in San Francisco society is Mrs.
Frank Deering, who was well known
to Honolulu as Mabel Craft. AS a
newspaper reporter it was only natural
that Mabel Craft should have enemies:
it isn't pleasant to be written up"
and Mabel was avoided. But as Mrs.
Frank Deering. and married to one of
San Francisco's favorite and best
known bachelors, her natural clever
ness is recognized, and no longer
feared. 1t begins to look too as
though Mrs. Deering would eventually
make for herself niche in the galaxy
of short story writer's; for she has
done some good work for the maya
zines since her marriage. Mrs. Deer
ing looked remarkably well in pink
chiffon at the dinner given by the
William Cuffs at the Palace Hotel:
In her hair she wore one of the fash
ionable flower coronets that are so be-
coming to every style of beauty. They
remind one somewhat of the leis of
Hawaii, particularly when worn by
Lily Spreckels, Jacqueline Moore. Mar

visited Honolulu and love its charm
or course San Francisco is busy
specializing as to whether Emma
Spreckelj Watson will now. in her
trouble, come back to gladden. the
hearts of her father and mother. But
who can safely speculate on the
Spreckels heart? In other families
reconciliations are probable with the
Spreckels family they are perhaps pos

married life with the man frowned up
on by her parents. The question is.
can her father forgive her for proving
that his opinion of the man she loved
was wrong?
About five years ago there was a
very attractive girl visiting Honolulu
who made many friends there-Miss
Haynes from Augusta, Maine. Miss
Haynes went to Honolulu with Mrs.
MilliAen who will also be remembered
by many for her sincerity of manner

Island people who will go to the new
Hotel San Marco just for the sake of

recently married Rose Hooper, Major
daughter. Mrs. PIotner has
declared that the San Marco will be
run on the same lines that made her
Lather's hotel always popular with the
islands, the Nav, and the Army.
