The lenten season has made the past
week a quiet one in society, no large
functions of any kind having been held
In the city. There have been a num-
Der of dinners and a few card parties,
but these mark the limits of the social
events.
On Wednesday afternoon Miss Mar
guerite Van vliet gave an enjoyable
hayride to twelve OF her friends, with
lieutenant Case and Miss Margaret
Wood for chaperones. They took a
ride over town, and then had jolly
lunch, at one of the summer houses
at Kapiolani Park, after which they
played many exciting games. The
children after supper sang popular
songs, when the ride was completed.
They went home carrying with them
the enthusiasm of the afternoon.
