The afternoon tea given Wednesday
, by Mrs. Samuel Parker for Hawaiian
ladies exclusively, was one of the most
notable affairs in many years, almost
the only one of it's kind since the fall
of the monarchy. The occasion was
graced by Queen Liliuokalani, who was
given a seat of honor in the drawing
room. The guests were Hawaiians
who in days gone by were more or
less prominent in the social affairs of
the Kamehameha and Kalakaua dy-
nasties, and they paid homage to their
former sovereign. 1t was a richly
gowned assemblage, handsome silk and
brocaded holokus being in evidence,
some of them having been laid away
and treasured since the old days. Time
and fortune had changed the social
careers of many of those present but
as the Queen graciously expressed it:
1.-The old-time Hawaiian gentry from
Diamond Head to Kalihi, from Nuuanu
Valley to the sea, are here" Mrs.
Parker was a superb hostess and sell
dom has an afternoon tea been so
pleasantly spent. The guests were re-
ceived at the entrance by Mr.. Edward
Lilikalani.
Dr. and Mrs. Brinckerhoff, Misses
Messrs. S. H. Derby and Wright, were
the dinner guests of Mr.. and Mrs. |
Ranney Scott on Wednesday, the occa- |

assisted by Mrs. A. B. ingalls,, violin |

PIANIST, was the initial artistic function |
of the kind for the winter season.
Mrs. Mackall achieved a triumph and |
will look forward to fu-
ture recitals given by this talented |
singer.
The Toy Shop" is the prevailing |
topic among children and the presen- !
tation to take place at the Opera /
House this week is also interesting the |
adults. The TOY Shop is patterned
something after the order of the /
House That Jack Built which was
presented here last year. The music
is catchy and tuneful throughout and
the costumes are in perfect keeping
with the idea of the show-a toy shop.
Those who saw Miss Martins presen-
tation of the House That Jack Built
last year and We're so well pleased
may anticipate something even better
in the TOY Shop.

Mrs. Ynez Hasson formerly Miss
Neumann. daughter of the late Paul
Neumann), returned home from abroad
yesterday on the steamship Suveric
which came direct from Funchal,
Azores. Mrs. Hasson was met at the
wharf by Mrs. Rodiek and many
friends. Mrs. Hasson has been study
ing medicine in London for the past
year, or almost ever since she left
and the sailing of the Suv-
eric for Honolulu with so many pas
sengers gave her the opportunity to
put her knowledge of medicine to a
practical test. That she found much
