The coming of the Fifth regiment of
Cavalry to this city should mean much
in the society line. Many of the off,
GERS are sure to be married and many
young and attractive bachelors will
also come along to gladden. the hearts
of the young girls of the city Regard
less of this Honolulu has always made
much of the army people here and
rightly so, for they are almost inva-
riably the salt of the earth, and the
more we have here, the more good
times there viii be for all of us.
The friends of DR.. MCCallum, who
recently left this city after long tour
of duty at Fort Shafter, under orders
to the Preside, San Francisco, will be
sorry TO hear that he is still in the
army hospital Mrs. McCallum is with
her husband and a quick recovery is
hoped for.
Mrs. Gardner X. Wilder, who has
been on the Coast for some weeks, has
changed her plans somewhat and ex-
poets to make a trip to the East be-
fore returning to Hawaii. She will
probably spend some little time at
Old Point Comfort with her sister,
Miss Edith Barnes, who Is well known
in this city and also in Hilo, where
she lived for some time with Mrs. Will
der.

One of the prettiest luncheons of the
season was that given by Mrs. Rees
at the Pleasanton on Wednesday. The
guests numbered thirty. The tables
were set on the broad circular lanai
which was decorated with palms, ferns
and cut flowers The whole arrange
ment was most attractive. Mrs. Rees
sat at a large round table in the cen

The officers of the Italian cruise
Puglia have been enjoying their sta!
in this city from all accounts, though

tie, and then mainly through the cour
tesies which have been extended t.
them by Hon. F. A. Schaefer, the 10
cal representative of the Italian Gov
eminent, and by Captain Rees, of the
Naval Station. This has, of course
meant that the higher officers alone
have tasted of the local hospitality
while the junior officers have had lit

realized that the foreign war vessels
which visit this port really do the city
a great deal of good.
The same thing was done when the
Brazilian and Chilean cruisers were
here. The night before they lief
someone connected with the Seaside
Hotel woke up and gave dance. Tit

and one of the pleasantest evening"
