A New Magazine Party.

The invitations were issued on card
board made to represent magazine
and were inclosed in envelopes. Each
guest was asked to come wearing an
article to indicate current periodical
or in a costume whichever was most
convenient.
This broke the ice and 1t was a very
merry party. In about half hour,
when all were endeavoring to find out
who was what, the hostess passed
little booklets which contained the
following typewriter romance, the

Did you ever hear Of the Rainy
Day" club? 1t Is a unique idea and
arose in this manner: There were six
young matrons who had been girls to-
gether, talking over and sharing each
others joys and sorrows. They were
in very fashionable set and had
strenuous life to lead, SO 1t was pro-
posed that on a rainy day in each
month one of them should be the host.
ess for the other five; that invita-.
tions should be given over the tele.
phone and take precedence over all
others; absolutely plain gowns were
to be worn. a three-course luncheon
was to be served without trimmings"
which meant place cards, favors. ETC.:
affairs OF life discussed in a most
charitable manner for the mutual i'm
provement and benefit of all con-
cerned.
1t was rule that no unkind criti-
cism of any one should be made and
no gossip discussed; there was to be
a half-hour devoted to pertinent ques-
tions of the day and each girl was to
relate n funny story. 1t was a time
for complete relaxation. The club has
been in existence now several years
and is a perfect success, "a very haven
OF refuge" as one member ex.
pressed it.

HAWAII WILL Be IN
VAUDEVILLE CIRCUIT

W. d. Adams, manager of the Ha.
wanan Opera House, has received ad.
vices OF the organization of an around.
the-worId theatrical circuit, which in.
cludes Honolulu. The company will
maintain continuous movement of
vaudeville companies playing at the
theaters listed in turn, SO that Homo
lulu will at stated intervals, depend
ing upon the steamer schedules, have
new people at whatever theater is Sc
lected in this city. Walter Hoff Seeley.
OF San Francisco, will be the vice
president of the new corporation and
general manager as well, anu will con-
duct the management from the Valen-
cia theater in San Francisco. The
company is known as the William Nor
rls company.
Arrangements are practically finish
ed for an utilization of the Morris in.
terests with those Of Beresford & Glib
bons of London, the largest booking
agents IN Europe, which viii give the
Morris company a circuit around the
tASdGCiS Ill AuSLTdIIa.
The new western combination takes
over the chain of theaters formerly
owned or controlled by j. Charles
Green and Walter Hof Seeley, of San
Francisco, operating as the Valencia
theater company. The capital stock
of the new company is 81 100000.
In opening this field of increased
activity the Morris interests will en-
gage more and better features, and
will take all the "top line' acts on
long time contracts. In making book
lngs for the coming season they will
be able to give the various performers
at least 81 weeks of solid engagements,
and when the world circuit is com
pleted they contemplate putting some
of the largest vaudeville stars On five
years contracts.

LAND GIVEN BY v. c.
IRWIN FOR THE PARK

Land for the extension of KapioIani
park, valued at about $4,000, has been
presented to the Territory by w. G..
Irwin, who yesterday informed the Gov
ernor that he would sign the deed turn
ing over tract of from twelve to ff-
teen acres, adjoining the park, to the
Territorial government.
The land lies between Leah and Ka-
pahulu streets, and comprises thirty-six
building lots which have been laid off,
and narrow strip running along the
length of them to where the lots meet
the two avenues.
The effect of this gift will be to
broaden the Waikiki extremity of the
park and greatly increase its value and
usefulness.
On the east of the land are three lots
owned by the Campbell estate, which
the government hopes to be able to ac-
auire. Digging for road material is
now being done on these lots, and their
acquisition by the government woulo
put stop to this.
