handsome luncheon given in honor of
Mrs. Renjes, and Miss Elsa Renjes,

thirty, was most elaborate and was
served in the private dining room of
the Alexander Young hotel. The
table decorations we're extremely
beautiful, consisting of violets and
dainty duchess roses. On the two
large round tables at which the
guests were seated were smilaX run.
ners and large airy bows of pink illu.
sion with streamers terminating in
bowls of violets. Two vases on
each table of duchess roses, with
smaller bowls of the same beauti-
full blossoms scattered here and there,
and place cards, hand painted in the
same design, completed the decora-
lions.

guests partook of their hospitality.
The Wichman home on Kinau street,
where DR.. and Mrs. Hoffman reside
was the scene of entertainment and
the table decorations consisted of a
pretty blending of green and white, a
large filigree silver bowl containing a
delicate profusion of maidenhair fern
and white carnations forming a CEN
terpiece and the same blossoms be
ing scattered over the cloth The
place cards were very unique and at
tractive, names of each guest being
transposed into Italian on card de-
r,io q Of al with :
little sentimental verse in the same
language attached.

fair were Mrs. Renjes, Miss Elsa
Renejs, Mr.. and Mrs. L. Tenney Peck
Mr.. and Mrs. Du Roi, Mr.. J. Macau'

The star which seems to hold the
center of the stage at present is that
very bright and vivid one called Hal
ley's comet, which is certainly the
"cynosure of neighboring eyes" about
a quarter to four a. m.
Some very queer and amusing cos
tunes and coiffures, am told, make
an appearance about that time, the

the Oriental kimona, the Turkish
bathrobe and barefoot sandals tt
match.
Several groups have been seer
wandering about the public thorough
fares in a similar garb, and on dit
they were more of an attraction tt
their neighbors than the comet itself
which now illumines the heavens
just over the peaks of Punchbowl
like a bright searchlight which eX
tends heavenward as far as the eye
can see.
Cards are out as follows: "Tht
commanding officer, officers anC
ladies of Fort Shafter request the
honor of your presence at a dance a
the administration building on Thurs
day evening, May nineteenth, at hal
after eight o'clock. R. S. V. p"
