SOCIAL EVENTS OF THEWEEK


When the fleet returns to Honolulu
from its cruise to Samoa there Will
be one event which will attract more
attention than any of the dances or
other society functions and the plans
which are being made are startling in
their broad scope. The Gypsy Fair,
which will be held on the evening OF
Tuesday, October 10, will be this great
event and there will be hard work done
between now and that date by many or
the local ladies who have taken the
matter up.
In the first place the object of tne
fair is a most worthy one. All the pro-
ceeds will be devoted to the benefit OF
the Humane Society which has just
been formed. This is about the third
attempt to form such an organization
here and at last the effort seems GER
tain to be crowned with success, Tor
a number of the most capable women
Of the city, such as Mrs. S. b. Dole,
Mrs. A. c. Halves, Jr., Mrs. Tenney
and others, have taken the matter up.
Up to this time there have not been
very many men in the membership
list, but at the meeting which will be
held in the lounging room of the Young
Hotel on Monday it is expected that
additions to the society will be made
that will cause surprise to those who
l L. I nH
! jects.
! All the arrangements for the fair
| have not been completed, but num-
! Der of them are in shape for disclos-
ure to act as a spur that will bring
more to light. The fair will open
in the evening at about 1880 and will
continued till the wee sma' hours"
or till the last patron is so tired that
he cannot find his pocketbook even
under the influence of the charming
glances so sure to be directed at him
from the many booths.
There will be no charge for admis-
sion to the grounds, but the dancers
| will be called on for one dollar, which
will surely be forthcoming from all.
! Then there will be many other attrac-
tons One which will be certain to
attract attention will be the shooting
| gallery This will be watched and
cared for by Mrs Humphris, and there
! have been many guesses in regard to
! her costume. 1t is very likely that
she will follow the usual shooting gal
lery style and come arrayed as Jap
anese in which case the Orient GER
tainly should feel highly compliment
ed. Mrs. Tenney, Mrs. James A. Will
der and Mrs. Clifford Kimball Will
handle the badge booth, assuring its
success. Miss Irmgard Schaefer, one
of the fall brides will be in charge
of the ice cream with bevy of pretty
young girls as assistants.
The officers of the fleet will prob
ably be attracted to the pillow booth,
for there they may purchase what ev-
cry man likes, the dainty designs in
cushions, which always look well in
the severely plain rooms of the war
ships The pillows will certainly be
by the ladies who will have charge,
Mrs. Swanzy, Mrs. Capt. Rees and Mrs.
George Davies, Harry Macfarlane will
have charge of the coffee booth and
Mrs. S. G. Wilder will see that there
are plenty of the younger girls to as
sist her in disposing of candy. The
grab bag will be popular as usual,
particularly when it is seen that Miss
Sargent and Miss Alice Macfarlane
have charge. Between these TWO the
grab bag should certainly be produc-
tive of a great deal Of fun. They
have the wit needed for sucn an en-
tertainment
The sensation of the evening Will
probably be the Postoffice. Various
members of the local community and
from the the fleet will find that there
are letters awaiting them, which will
be announced by DOC" Monsarratt,
as spieler, and for which they will be
required to pay.
Mrs. Cornell and Mrs. Kingsbury
will be in charge of this and it is a
safe guess to say that some of the let
ters will be kept for many moons by
their recipients.
Mrs A. G. Halves, Jr. one of the
most earnest members of the Humane
Society, will have charge of the for
| tune telling. She is certain to be sue
cessful even in spite OF the opposition
which she will have in the peanut for
tunes which will be dispensed by a
B number of the debutants of the sea-
] son, including the Misses Spalding and
J Lucas. Mrs. Hastings and Mrs. Fred
J Damon will be near to the hearts OF
the men men, for tobacco will be their
weapon. My Lady Nicotine will be
well represented and in this charac-
ter these TWO ladies as vendors of CT
gars and cigarettes will have a splen-
did achanpa IN costume
