black and white of evening clothes.
Much of the time was spent in dane
ing, for towards II o'clock all the
booths were completely soil out. Here
the sailors, officers and civilians min
gled, the ladies of the 300 dancing
with all and finding all equally eX-
pert at the grace of this art.
The postofiee, which was under the
charge of Mrs. S. B. Kingsbury and
Mrs. w. H. Cornwell, was one of the
greatest successes of the evening, and
many a young man received a letter
which he had never expected and
which contained some good natured
josh on his personal peculiarities. For
tunetelers did their part and there
were enough of them to tell fortunes
for all the men there.
the prettiest booth of the evening
was that of Mrs. Louis Abrams, whose
tasteful decorations with huge paper
flowers, combined with a mass of in
candescent electric lights, made a fine
showing. 1t is hard to say which came

stands there was a close race for po-
pularity.
The dance given at the Alexander
Young Hotel in honor of the FSsific
fleet, upon the evening of the day they
reached this city, was a very pleasant
affair. At first it looked as though
there would be little going on. The
local people came out early to listen
to the strains of music from Berger's
band, who by the way have been ton
ing down considerably of late and pro-
ducing more music with less noise,
but it was nearly o'clock before the
officers began to come ashore. BY the
time the concert was completed, how
ever, the roof garden was crowded,
and the fun kept up till midnight
without pause.
The dance given on Wednesday
night by Alice Cooper in honor of the
officers of the fleet was well attended
by local people, but many of the Off
GERS were unable to get away from
their ships and but few uniforms were
to be seen.

A great many local people will be
much interested in reading of the
wedding which took place on Septem-

White was ojined in thebonds of matri'
mony with Capt. Ross l.. Bush, of the
Tenth U. S. Infantry. Both Miss White
and Capt. Bush are very well known
here and to Honolulu must be given
the credit of the charming romance
which has turned out so happily.
About two years ago Miss White
who is the daughter of the late Capt
J. w. White, of the U. S. Revenue
Cutter Service, visited in this city FOL
several months. The revenue cutter
Manning was here at the time and il

a pretty good showing for one shor
