The question of the grand pail at
the Seaside and Moana hotels on the
second night of the fleets stay is caus-
ing no end of talk the main objection
among a certain set being their I'M
willingness to go unless it is very eX-
elusive To make ball exclusive IN
the true meaning of the word is some
thing that would be impossible here in
Honolulu, unless some good people
were left out.
A few years ago a very select dance
was given by well known young Uusi-
ness man and at the eleventh nOur
there was trouble, as a certain gentle
man wanted to take a young lady who
was perfect eligible to go, but the
one that was getting up the dance did
not wish the lady in question present
The dance went off to every ones sat
isfaction and the lady that was not
considered good enough was there with
her escort. 1t is needless to say that
| the promoter diG not like it, but 1t
only proved to him that he was not
| the whole thing.
! That same thing in many cases
would happen if a dance for the Off
GERS were given on those lines.
The present idea is to make the
| dance a subscription affair, and - that
way keep it as nearly exclusive as pos
sible
Some people are under the impress
sion that money covers the word eligi-
bility in society, but they must also
realize that some people with blue
blood in their veins never attend these
goth century society events, as they do
not care to mingle with the butcher,
baker and merchants who have become
suddenly rich.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that this
feeling will be overcome before the
date of the ball and that the reception
and ball to the officers will be attended
by a large gathering Of people.
