Mrs. Carter's buffet luncheon or Fri
day was, to many of the ladies present,
a revelation lunch. To others who
in times past have given simple and
plain lunches, it was a comfort to
have the first lady of the country back
them up. The guests ate standing and
some moved about and carried on con-
versations with several persons in
stead of being obliged to sit two hours
and a half talking to one person Or
two, who might be sitting next one.
Mrs. Carter served three delicious COW
vers, enough for anyone in this warm
climate. The hostess busted herself
with her guests and saw to it that they
were beautifully served. She wore a
very elegant but simple white embroi-
dered null. About eighty guests were
present, all of them in more or less
elaborate toilets. Anlong those no.
ticed were the Princesses Kalan1anaole
and Kawananakoa, Mrs. Swanzy and
her charming mother, Mrs. Campbell
Parker, Mrs. Eben Low, Mrs. Hollo-
way, Mrs. Gerrit Wilder, Mrs. F. A.
Schaefer, Mrs. S. B. Dole and her

ternoon, prior to the formal opening.
Music lovers n those friends who

a high standard, and in spite of many

in keeping the organization together
n occasionally give their friends a |
chance to hear really good music.
