The Floral Parade was much more
Of society event this year than form
erly and it is to be hoped that this
interest shown by the leaders OF the
social set of Honolulu will increase in
coming years until the parade is rec
ognized as as much an affair Of society
as the Mardi Gras of New Orleans,
the Horse Shows OF the great cities
of the east, the carnivals and fiestas
OF Southern Europe. in a smaller way,
naturally, but as completely. And it
appears likely that this will be the
case
On Friday many well known persons
participated in the parade, in automo-
biles, carriages and on horseback,
some stunning costumes being worn.
Particularly dainty were the gowns Of
the McCandless and Cooke parties,
the former, Miss Madge McCandless.
Miss Boedefeld, Miss Schaefer, Miss
Lorna Iaukea and Miss Patty, wearing
white dresses and picture hats trim
med with yellow and carrying yellow
parasols, matching perfectly the color
scheme OF their car decorations and
exciting much admiration. The ladies
in the Sweet Lavender car made al
so a most attractive picture in laven-
der; with gloves, hats and parasols to
match. These were Mrs. Ballou, Mrs.
Harry Macfarlane, Mrs. George Fair
child and Miss Lady Macfarlane.
Most complete and elaborate were
the costumes worn by the ladies of the
prize winning auto, the entry of c. NJ.
Cooke. These were Mrs. George Cooke,
Miss Judd, Miss Violet Damon and
Miss Juliet Cooke, who wore the dress
of mandarin ladies and most becoming
It appeared Even the elaborate coif-
fure of the Chinese ladies was worked
out in the makeup, the whole making
as charming a picture as ii is possible
to conceive.
Delightfully."- odd appeared the young
ladies in fur caps, mittens and muffs

Wichman car, the occupants of which

We're in this party.
In the smaller touring cars and the
runabouts were included several other
of the leaders, of Honolulu's social set.
Among the occupants OF the cars We're
Mrs. A. Gartley, accompanied by her
three charming children, Mrs. Along,
Mrs. ]. H. Russell, Miss Helen Macfar-
lane, Mrs. z. J. Lord, Mrs. d. McIn-
tyre Miss Phoebe Carter, Miss Eliza

One of the prettiest groups of the
day was that of the young ladies of
the Kilohana Art League, ten Grecian
ulaidens in a pure white temple. The
personages. in this float were the
Misses Alice Hopper, Cordelia Gilman,
Esther Spalding, Helen North, Emma
Ballentyne, Mary Ballentyne, Alice
Spalding, Ruth McChesney and Edith
Smith. Accompanying these young la
dies during the day was Mrs. William
Montrose Graham. becomingly gowned
in pink.
In the tallyhoes were the members
OF the Western Tours party and a
large number of other well-known la
dies.
The esquestrienne part of the parade
an opportunity of displaying their
skill and general was the admiration
expressed regarding the number and
ability of ladies in the line. The five
Island Processes were greatly admir-
ed, the Oahu princess, Miss Gussie |
Clarke coming in for possibly more of
the applause than the others. but the |
local patriotism of the spectators did |
not blind them to the beauty and ex-l
ceilent Craftsmanship displayed by her |
rivals The pau feature of the par
ade throughout was particularly |
pleasing, far outstripping that of last |
year.
Among the other riders were Mrs |
Erdman, dressed as a polo player in l
silken jacket and divided riding skirt, |
made short enough to show her tiny |
riding boots and spurs. She was ac-
eompanied by her brother. Harold Dill
lingham, also in polo costume. Mrs.
George Potter, Miss Alice Macfarlane,
Miss Dreier, Miss Emma Rose, Miss
Dorothy Hartweli and Mrs. Bergstrom
also appeared to advantage on hand
some mounts. The latter wore a fancy
costume of black and yellow. her rid
ing skirt being trimmed with Ieis.
s-rS. George Carter, who distributed /
the prizes. was dressed in white and |
carried a white parasol. The lady
judges of the different events were all /
handsomely gowned. the majority wear
ing white, one striking exception
being Mrs B. Hayes-Brooke, who look
ed particularly charming in heliotrope.
