source of great merriment to all the
assembled guests Around the lake
was erected a dainty little fence vi
bamboo and resting around it amid
the MALE stood pale green shaded
candelabra. The beauty of the scene
was further enhanced by miniature
Japanese tea garden built in among
the rocks with Japanese dolls seated
at the tables serving tea.
The place cards depicted newly
Matched chick and at her place each
lady found a handsome corsage bou-
quet of Duchess roses and maiden
hair fern. After dinner during which
a Hawaiian orchestra played, the
guests attended the dance which was
given for the guests of the hotel
Those present at this handsome
social function were Misses Jung
blatt McNab, Zabrisky, Lurline Mat
son, Alice Roth, Metha Mcmahon,
Violet Makee, Alice M6cfarlane, Mr..
and Mrs. Gustave Schaefer, Messrs.
Chiffon, William Roth, Dick Wright,
Bert Petrie, Frank Armstrong, Guy
Macfarlane, Sam Walker, and Nelson
Lansing.
A subtle romance lowered about
the TenyO Maru which after stopping
at Honolulu for a day proceeded on
her voyage to the Orient The story,
which was confirmed by the heroine
in the tale, is a most interesting one
in every way, and number of local
society maids and matrons who went
down to witness the departure of the
steamer were eager to see the pretty
petite brunette maiden, who in COM
pany with her mother was on her
way to Manila.
1t seems that an immensely wealthy
uncle, before his demise, made his
will in favor of his beautiful niece,
who would forfeit his wealth how
ever should she marry before a stip-
ulated age. But Miss Louise Cook
(for that is the heroines name), re-
fused point blank to be so restricted,
and after due consideration and a
warlike ARRAY with her many rela
tives decided that a certain very po-
pular and perfectly darling officer in
Manila was worth all her wealth and
much more. so she cast it aside and
is now nearing the destination of one
of the most romantic trips perhaps
ever made by that vessel
The fortunate groom elect is Colo
mel Germany of the U. s. Marine
Corps now stationed at Manila and
is the most popular fellow in the
corps. While here Miss Cook and
her mother were the guests at the
play of Captain Campbell of the Ma
rine Corps and at the departure Of
the steamer, though the little heroine
had eluded the camera fiends of the
newspaper staff of San Francisco and
Honolulu, she leaned over with de-
light as Captain Berger and his boys
struck up Mendelssohn's wedding
march, a request for which had been
made for her special delectation.

One of the handsomest dinners ever
given in Honolulu this season was
trat at which Mr.. and Mrs. A. j. Camp
bell presided on Wednesday evening,
in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Morrison.
Mrs. Campbell is noted for her lavish
hospitality and artistic skill and on
this occasion the home was trans
formed into an indoor bower of beau
ty. The drawing room was elabora-
tely decorated in lavender and green,
and the library was done in tones OF
green and terra Gotta.
The table was elaborate and beau
tiful in appointments, a unique con-
ception being portrayed in a large
pink canoe filled with pink carnations
as a centerpiece upheld on veritable
sea of pale pink illusion, wherein lay
gold paddle bearing in artistic let
tiers the inscription aloha" Beside
