to ever new and startling surprises.
Last Saturday evening was the scene
of a very pretty dinner at Mr.. Ho-
wards spacious and artistic home on
Beretania Avenue at which covers
were laid for six. A solitary scarlet
dot BILE Hibiscus in tall cut glass vase
on the center of the table was most
effective; around the base of this were
sprigs of the Mexican flower.
The place cards represented the same
design and red shaded candelabra
made a pretty setting for the dainty
dinner that was served.
On Wednesday evening Mr. w. L.
Howard entertained with a chop suey
dinner at which covers were laid for
eight. The whole idea was carried
out as nearly resembling oriental style
as possible. Chinese Cocks-Comb
sprays quantity arranged SO as to is
sue from a unique design in pottery
representing a Chinese temple made
the center piece. Tie place cards re-
presented Chinese characters and the
menu was most elaborate.

An exceedingly novel luncheon was
given last Sunday at which Mr. w.
u. Howard acted as host. Covers
were laid for six.
It was called an Aeroplane Luncheon
and only those present could appre-
ciate the novel and unique fittings
which tended to carry out the idea of
the affair.
Mr.. Howard is noted for originality,
and hospitality and the social functions
which both Mrs. Howard and he have
given have gained a reputation which
is flattering indeed. At every affair
which has been given at their artistic
home some novelty has been intro
duced never before heard or seen in
Honolulu. Mr.. Howard is clever
mixologist, and at one of his late
dinners presented beverage it would
be of advantage for every soda fountain
in town to have ON tap.
