The Hawaiian star., 1910-02-26

Four dainty corners of rare old lace,
A filmy web recalling other days
A remnant Of the past whereon
trace
Seductive perfumes of loves mystic
maze.
Oh tender faded tissue, heard yon
sighs
OF love, of vain regrets; of hopes
or fears?
Nestled you softly to her dropping
eyes,
Bear you the stains of sad or happy
tears?
knew her, too; as dearly intimate
Was 1 with her 1 hoped to call my
bride,
But now with you 1 share a com
mon fate
AS carelessly did she cast me aside.
Eleanor Rivenburgh.
81 want to congratulate you all Of
Honolulu on your floral parade. 7
have seen several, but never one
which equalled the display presented
by the community lest Tuesday
morning. My brother saw one in
Nice, Italy, and last year we both
went to Pasadena to view their dis
play. 1t was a trihe disappointing,
and all the flowers were made of pa
per. No, / have never seen any
thing anywhere in the shape of a
floral parade which compares with
Honolulu's exhibition. Mrs. New
comb, Hawaiian Hotel.
The week just ended has been a
busy one, emphasized by the great
Elks' Carnival and the big annual
Floral Parade, which by the way put
to insignificance all former attempts
at the gay celebration.
All day Monday the populace cent
cred round Bishops Park, and
groups of curious people crowded
the sidewalks watching the enclos-
ure being strung with lights, and
overhung from end 10 end with
futtering pennants. Busy workers
of society rushed to and fro or stood
off to get the effects of booths made
lovely by willing and artistic hands.
Needless to say, the carnival that
night was successful beyond the
most sanguine hopes and expecta-
tions, and rarely, if ever, has Homo
lulu seen such mirth and hilarity as
reigned supreme on Monday and
Tuesday evenings. Sonny Cunha and
Clarence Waterman as spielers were
most amusing, and in fact each ana
every one was as good as another.
The costumes seen strolling about
the grounds were varied, grotesque
or handsome, and spirit of excite
ment prevailed.
The Elks are to be congratulated
on their successful undertaking, and
it is to be hoped we shall hear from
them again.

Hotel on Monday evening vas a
