The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-07-25

the Seaside Monday night, at the ball
given in honor of the enlisted men OF
the fleet. 1t will be a scene long re-
membered by those who saw it. Ho-
fair sex turned out to dance
with the men, and not one was sorry
for it afterward.
Everything was the same as at the
ball given in honor of the officers on
Friday night, saving the difference
that the local men and the officers vera
not allowed on the floor, that privilege
being reserved Tor the men and the la
dies of Honolulu. A good many people
who were present did not dance but
merely looked on, and they were re-
warded by seeing the best behaved
gathering of men ever seen here. The
best ladies in town were only too will
ing to dance with the men forward on
the big ships, and they found as fine a
body Of men as may be seen anywhere
in the world. Nothing to spoil the en-
joyment or the evening happened, and
everyone present voiced the dance an
unqualified success.
A few weeks ago there were fears
expressed relative to the ladies in so
ciety dancing with the men, but that
feeling was overcome as soon as they
saw the dazzling scene. Ladies who
do not dance very often were on the
floor Waiting or two stepping with
the boys in blue but they all entered

| geance To the committee who ar
ranged the dance and the ladies who
acted as patronesses great credit and
thanks are due for making the men
! feel so at home, and it may be many
years before such another evening will
/ be possible.
Mrs. w. D. Adams, who has been
seriously i'll for the past few weeks
is much better and will soon be able
to be out again.

Princess Kawananakoa, looking very
handsome and well after her long ill
ness, is once more able to be around,
The coming Of the Atlantic fleet here
is now a matter Of history, and once
more the people who live for pleasure
and enjoyment will be oh iged to rest
after the strenuous days Of social ac-
tivity Never before has Honolulu
been so gay as it was during the fleets
stay, and if is doubtful if it ever will
be again.

Breakfast parties luncneons, teas.
afternoon receptions, dinners, theater
parties, dances, motor rides, etc. have
kept everyone on the go. Honolulu
people have eXerted ih,msa ves in en-
Pertaining the omcers and men, and
they have appreciated their reception
here more than in any other place so
far on their trip. Nearly everyone in
the feet wanted TO remain longer but
their duty called them away, and there
was no appeal from the orders OF tho
Navy. Let everyone try and give the
officers and men of the Pacific fleet the
same kind of a time when they arrive,
few days from now, and Honolulu
people will then have regained their
reputation for hospitality which had
been nearly lost.
