The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1907-06-08

Since the going of the Congressional
party last week, things are rather
quiet again in a social way. There
was so much going on during the last
week of the visitors stay that society
falk for the most part have been very
glad to take little relaxation. About
the only thing of interest this week
land this is by no means unimportant
to the young principals and their rela-
tives) have been the several COM
mencements of different schools. OF
course they are all very much the
same, and the ones this week were not
so very different from the one in which
you and | took so prominent a part a
greater or less number of years ago,
but if your memory is good you know
how important we considered that
event in our lives at the time, and
there is every reason to believe that
the young people who are going
through the same experience this
spring, not only in Honolulu, but by
the tens of thousands all over the
emotions that we experienced. We
felt that we were just a little ahead of
anything in the same line that had
ever happened in the history of the
world, and no doubt the graduate of
today thinks the same of himself or
herself and the class to which he or
she belongs, and have the same SUI
preme confidence in the Instability of
the solutions to weighty problems
which though as old as time, they
have settled with all assurance and
embodied it in a pink beribboned es-
say. Next year it will be the same,
and in the years to follow. But who
would have it otherwise? The rosy
optimism of youth is not a subject Tor
the cynics sneers.

Next Tuesday is Kamehameha Day.
Everything points to it's being cele-
brated with good deal of eclat by To-
cal society. One of several events for
the day which will probably prove an
important attraction will be the polo
game to be played in the afternoon at
the Moanalua grounds. There will be
other features besides the game pro-
per, including some equestrienne stunts
by some young ladies, that promise to
be equal to anything else on the pro-
gram. There will also be some funny
kinds of racing Especial facilities
will be afforded for those attending in
automobiles to see the sports from the
best view points.
