Among the notable social events of
the week was the luncheon given in
compliment to Mrs. Walter Frear and
Mrs. Corwin Rees by Mrs. c. c. Parks
and her sister. Miss Frear. The func-
tion was given at the Alexander
Young Hotel on Tuesday last, and
was unique and one of the most artis-
tic affairs that has ever taken place
in Honolulu. Owing to the nearness
of Christmas, all the decorations tend
ed TO imbue one with the holiday
spirit. The place cards were miniature
boxes of holly, tied with red ribbon,
and dainty cupids peering out of the
corner. Red poinsetta, growing in
handsome jaTdiniere, formed the cen
terpiece, while Hawaiian holly scat
tered over the table gave a most sea-
sonable effect. Santa Claus wands,
tied with red ribbon, were used as
souvenirs. These wands were ordered
from the Coast and represented dear
old Santa, with his pack on his back,
the little ones. Mrs. Parks and Miss
Frear made charming hostesses, the
former looking particularly well in
white lingerie gown. Miss Frear was
beeomingly clad in white silk, with
touches of blue; Mrs. Walter Frear
never looked more charming than on
this occasion in her Copenhagen blue
froek, with hat in the same shade;
Mrs. Corwin Rees' white empire gown,
with large white hat covered with
plumes. with long black velvet ties,
suited her to perfection; Mrs. Dunning
was stunning in a black and striped
chiffon. embroidered in rosebuds, en-
pire effect with touches of green, a
large black hat completing the eos
tune; Mrs. Forster wore gray silk, |
trimmed in real lace. Mrs. Winter,
wife of Lieutenant Winter, was hand !
somely froeked in a lingerie gown, |
in Maltese lace; Mrs. Her. |

lulu great favorites, looked chic in |
a Observation-Disclosures white silk prin-,
eesse robe During luncheon, music |
