Chronicle.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. M. Dowsett enter |
tanned on Wednesday evening with
the prettiest and most original din
ner of the season, in honor of Mrs.
Renjes, visiting Honolulu at present
from Germany. Mrs. Dowsetts charm
of manner and lavish hospitality, her
originality, and artistic capabilities,
were fully revealed that evening at
the elaborate function given at her
luxurious home. All the rooms were
handsomely decorated for the occa-
sion, green prevailing in color tone.
The drawing room was transformed
into fernery, graceful maidenhair
filling every space and hanging be-
tween the various rooms. The living
room was resplendent with tall palms
of several varieties and soft lights
which made a charming picture.
But the piece de resistance was the
large dining room where the eighteen
guests were seated. 1t was singular
ly beautiful and created striking et-
feet on all those present. The table
was shaped as a large horseshoe, the
guests seated round the exterior,
while the hollow center was banked
with a solid cass of Nee maidenhaid
fern with vases conventionally placed
round in the midst of it holding sin
gle American Beauty roses to repre-
sent nails. The effect of this beau
tifuI horseshoe was further enhanced
by the illusion of its being suspended
from the central chandelier by trail
ers of asparagus fern, the same being
intertwined all through the lighted
globes. This unique setting togeth-
er with the costly imported gowns IN
their rich elegance, was reflected IN
the huge mirror opposite the table
and made one of the prettiest pictures
imaginable and 2 lasting impression
on the enthusiastic guests.
The place cards for the ladies re
presented Gibsonesque types in spring
and summer bOnnets; those for the
gentlemen, Japanese and other orien.
tai scenes. Those present at this
wonderfully beautiful dinner were:
Mrs, Renjes, Mr.. H. M. Whitney, Mr.
