Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1904-02-20

As usual, Honolulu hostesses reviv-
ed socially in a wholesale fashion only
q few days before Ash Wednesday. It
had been unusually quiet until about
two weeks ago, when society awoke to
the realization of the fact that Lent
would soon be here and all gay doings
but not gay sayings-would be tabu.
Then and not till then did they bid us
to their houses. Last week 1t was
almost impossible on certain days to
get everything in. Saturday was most
strenuous.
Not only did Mrs. 1senberg entertain
and Mrs. Cozzens pedro party take
many to the valley, but Mrs. Henry
Castle gave very pleasant tea at her
pretty cottage on College Hills, and
ess of charming lunch, and there
were four or five small teas besides.
I thought II very nice Of Mrs. Cozzens
to have until four.thirty" on her cards
in order that her guests could go on to
Mrs. Isenberg's.
Lent will be observed by all good
church people,--the others will go
gaily on, for many festivities are being
planned in a quiet, discreet sort Of
way.

A young lady of a pronounced blonde
type, living near the Park, was one Of
the victims OF the recent flood at Wal.
kiki. An admirer was to call at Q Ger.
tain hour from nearby Camp. The
young lady waited until long past the
appointed time but the expected swain
failed to put in an appearance. Not
being used to playing the part Of a
patient Greselda", the young lady did
not take kindly to II, and the next day
when the waters had subsidized SO that
the handsome and naughty young man
of Scotch origin could row across and
pay his respects and apologies, the fair
maiden's head was tossed In the air
and she murmured. There are 9th.

A San Francisco paper speaks OF Ad.
Olson Miner as follows: Addison
Miner has taken rooms In the apart.
ment house built by Harry Stetson on
Bush street. His rooms are said to be
the most artistic in town, and some OF
the antiques that adorn them are pro-
nounced by critics to be priceless.
Many OF adde's friends think he
ought to go in for art seriously. His
miniatures are all very good. and he
has done some watercolors OF consid.
cradle merit. Ethel Watts Num-
ford is one Of his most enthusiastic
admirers She is anxious for him to go
on to New York. where, she thinks, he
would find better market for his lit
erary and artistic efforts. He might
step into the shoes OF Harry Lehr, OF
whom 1t is rumored New York has be-
come greatly wearied.
"Addie" Miner spent nearly q year
in Honolulu, making enemies and
friends according to his custom wher
ever he goes. One could hardly take
him seriously,-but some Of his re
marks used to cause chills down the
spine and the proper missionary fam
lilies used to stand up on their hind
legs in horror. He was an awfully
good sort, Just the same, and invalu
able In making things go.

"Hiawatha" on Monday evening
more than fulfilled the expectations oil
the music-loving public. The first part
was devoted to songs composed by
Gerald Barton, the talented organist OF
st. Andrews. Mrs. George Macfar'
lane sang "Daybreak" in such a charm.

by singing Comm Thro' the Rye.
She also sang magnifcently through.
cut the difficult cantata.
The weird music, so suggestive OF
Indian melodies, was delightfully."- rem
dered by the trained voices. and the
duets and quartets were thoroughly en-.
joyed. The house was sold out long
before the evening Of the concert and,
although the weather was bad, a large
and enthusiastic audience greeted the
singers.
The pretty frocks Of the ladies made
