| to crown their happiness on Saturday.
Mrs. Warren, who was very well
known in the newspaper world as
Grace Hortense Tower, before her
marriage about two years ago to Mr..
| Warren, is a talented woman and by
her rare charm and winsomeness has
won many friends since her wedding,
in Honolulu.
Our citys future STAFF is assured,
if the progeny of clever writer's shall
decide in the years to come to follow
the bent of their parents little Miss
Warren being the second literary baby
born this week
Cards are out for a tea on Wednes-
day next from 4 to 6 o'clock in honor
of Mrs Cecil Arthur Macintosh, at
which Mrs. H. Won Holt will preside.
There seems to be a disagreeable
epidemic of influenza lowering about
the city from which a few girls of the
younger set have suffered during the
week
One of these is Miss Rosie Herbert
who has been confined to her room
| from a slight attack, which, although
| harmless has been sufficiently incon-
venient to deny her the pleasures of
| surfing and swimming and the many
| smaller functions among the girls
which are always a source of sociabil-
| ity with them.
Many maids and matrons of society
are to be seen this afternoon in dainty
lingerie frocks and pretty picture hats,
some Nuuanu valley home of Mr.. and
! Mrs. Give Davies, the latter of whom
| is entertaining from four to six o'clock
at a Tennis Tea" in honor of British
| Consul and Mrs. Ralph Forster who
| leave on November 2 for England and
| the continent.
This affair will doubtless be as en-
! joyable as are all occasions given at
the lovely old English home, where
it's hostess with her gracious charm
presides.
DR.. Gillespie, of the Marine Hospital
, Service, at present attached to the re-
venue cutter Thetis, entertained on
board at very handsomely appointed
dinner on Wednesday evening, which
will long be remembered by those
| guests who took advantage of their in
vitatiOns.
Affairs on ship board are always more
or less charming, and the romance of
the sea clings about them, making
them eagerly sought by lovers of the
unique and mysterious.
Wednesday evening was no excep-
ton. Dinner was served at seven
o'clock in the wardroom and shortly
before the appointed hour the guests
were conveyed to the ship by a small
white U. S. launch.
The ladies in the party were dressed
in soft white frocks, and combina-
ton with the tropical white and gold
uniforms of the officers made charm
ing ensemble round the large square
table at which dinner was served, and
which was revelation of beauty, as
novel as it was unexpected
AS nearly as possible, the idea of the
national colors was carried out, a
large cut glass bowl-shaped jardiniere
filled with blue asters forming a pretty
centerpiece while trailing all over the
cloth and over the edge of the table on
every hand were dainty strings of
these blossoms between which nest
led the tiniest possible red and white
electric lights which created small
fairy land of the artistic table.
Two swords crossed at the center
also added an effective suggestion Of
the military atmosphere, and the name
cards, which will ever be treasured as
invaluable and cherished souvenirs Of
the occasion, were embellished by
snapshots taken of the Thetis packed
fast in the ice foes Of Point Barrow,
the most northerly point in Alaska.
After dinner at which a delicious
menu was served, and which was en-
livened by many wonderful stories OF
adventure, serious and humorous,
which were universally interesting to
