SOCIAL NOTES

For hours before the Armada was
sighted thousands of enthusiastic
sightseers pervaded Diamond Head,
Punchbowl, and the lighthouse hill,
where the grandest views could be
obtained. II was a glorious pageant,
and wild cheers rent the air as the
Connecticut, Admiral Sperrys fam
Gus warship, rounded Koko Head
closely followed by other ships of the
great white Fleet. 1t was sight
never to be forgotten. and the won
derful setting of azure sky and sun
lit waters and, above all, Diamond
Head,with the reflection of the sun
upon its glorious sides, all added to
the superb spectacle Peace with
Honor'-what a glorious thought!
Many hearts were thrilled with pa
triotism and even the most conser-
vative proved themselves loyal to
America in their efforts to show their
appreciation of the majestic pageant.
Flags and bunting everywhere. Not
an American house without its flag
proudly floating in the breeze. After
the ships reached the harbor mouth
launches began to carry the officers
ashore. IL was very gay in the har-
Dor and on the Yankton and other
supply boats there were several lun-
cheon parties. The Yankton enter
tanned Mrs. Switzerland, the Misses
Harriet and Mary Switzerland, DR..
and Mrs. Humphris, Paymaster and
Mrs. Brooke, Mrs. Halves, DR.. Collins,
and the usual complement of officers
not to mention Beans" Mr.. Mayors
Boston bull terrier For luncheon
were Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Fairchild,
the Macfarlanes, and several others.
The harbor was alive with small
craft of all kinds and how wildly
they cheered the grand battleships!
Thursday evening the streets were
crowded until long past midnight.
and the brilliant electrical effects on
all the principal buildings converted
the town into Palace of Light"
Gayety everywhere, and amusements
galore. 1t has been a constant fete
with too many dinners and lunches
to even attempt to describe. Many
of the officers are well known here
and have many friends who are
charmed to entertain them. It's a re-
markable fact, for once, men enough
to go round, but so few girls! What
pity! The young married women
certainly have it all their own way
in Honolulu. Perhaps they are the
least bit spoiled, but who can blame
them with so much attention?

The following account of Miss Jos.

Miss Gertrude Josselyn had a perfect
summer day for her wedding. bue

at noon, was filed with exquisite
flowers for the affair-palest roses,
masses of feathery asparagus fern,
and the dainty pink and blue hydran-

for the bright frocks and big hats of
the women guests. The gowns worn
at this wedding were handsomer than
have been shown at any daytime
event this year, and the ensemble of
pale greens and champagne color,
pinks and lemon yellows was quite
dazzling. The bridesmaids, seven. in
all, wore lingerie frocks, with pale
pink sashes, and wide hats trimmed
with roses. The brides own dress
was of creamy chiffon satin, trimmed
with Ventian lace. She carried lilies
