There remains but week before
sackcloth and ashes will become the
vogue and then for forty days the de-
voices of fashion are supposed to fore
go the pleasures of the afternoon teas,
receptions, card parties and dances, and
be social hernits. Society has been in
the throes of an almost Lenten inactiv-
ity for the past three or four weeks,
and the advent of Lent will not show
marked change. On Ash Wednesday
my lady and the fair debutante will
go into seclusion, but, if fashion is put
| aside perforce, it is predicted that the
fair sex will go in for outdoor athletics
during the entire Lenten season.

Society will undoubtedly be repre-
scented in force at the Prudential con-
cert. Fortunately for Honolulu and the
artists that come here social and nusi-
cal functions go hand in hand as has
so often been proved by the interest
taken in all matters musical by those
who are the leaders of the more purely
social sets. 1t is of course everywhere
always the best of good form to be able
to understandingly appreciate the rem
dition of a good artist whichever of
the MUSES. he or she may have partic-
ularly worshipped and avowed. And
then too Friedenthals and his peers do
not come every day within Honolulu's
opportunities. The musical artists who
have visited us within the past ten
years do not need even the fingers of
one hand to count them on. Gerardy,
Dolores and Prudential, veritabIe an
gels visits, few and far between. At
all events, they are cordially appre-
