Gray clad Memory, stately and fair,
With sweet thoughts turned in her
sable hair,
Held the hand of stricken one,
Who knelt in despair, to her garment /,
chung,
Murmuring Bring him back to me, !
Bring him back from the cruel seal" |
And Memory smiled as she wept.
Old Time comes tottering over the hill
To find tumultuocs passions, still.
Birds are chirping, and blossoms are
gay.
All, where are the sorrows of yester-
day?
And gray clad Memory, where is she?
He found her outstretched on the
sands of the sea,
And gently passed on while she slept.
ELEANOR RIvENBURGH.
With the advent of summer comes
dearth of social activities, and the city
seems to slumber quietly with inter-
mittent signs of life from the smart
set.
But the spirit of Morpheus hovers
over even the most nospitable homes.
whose town doors for the most part
are closed during these trying months
while their, owners are already COM
fortably ensconced in some "cute lit
tie bungalow at the beach," or far
away on their journeys to the Ameri-
can and European continents.
One of the greatest musical treats
ever afforded a Honolulu audience
awaits those who are eagerly anticl-
pating the coming recital of Mr.. Sgd
ney Hoben, the talented musician of
this city, who will present one of the
biggest of ''doings" unsteady ever at
tempted here on the evening of Tues
day, July 70, at the home of Judge and
Mrs. S. M. Ballou.
! The evening will be divided into two
parts, the first being a recital by Mr..
Hoben, with possibly a few miscella-
neous numbers by local talent, and
the second part comprising an elabo-
rare musical production Of Wagner's
world-famed masterpiece, Tannhauser,
which Mr.. Hoben has decided shall re-
place the Persian Garden" The
program follows:

Mrs. Ballou will preside at the
piano.
Every effort that has been made by
Mr. Hoben since his arrival in Homo
lulu has been rewarded with over
whelming success, and society is on
the qui vive for every concert in
which his name appears. All of the
selections to be rendered by Mr.. Ho-
ben in the coming concert are new.
and his arrangement of Carmen will
be the piece de resistance of the first
part of the program.
For the second part, the characters
in this soul-stirring opera are well
chosen, and Mrs Allan White as Eli
zabeth will display a dramatic force
hitherto undreamed in this charming
and brilliant singer.
The evening already has indications
of a big success both artistically and
financially and will no doubt add more
laurels to Mr.. Hoben's crown of
triumph.
& : :
Mr.. Hoben will leave for Hilo and
the other islands on the fifteenth Of
this month after his concert at the
home of Judge and Mrs. Ballou. He
carries with him any number Of notes
of introduction to all the members of
society living across the channel and
no doubt he will be cordially re ceived
and welcomed by the prominent fam
lilies.
This trip will take the form of a
