ELKS' CARNIVAL
AN ACHIEVEMENT
SOCIAL SIDE OF COMING MARDI GRAS WILL BE GIVEN
PRECEDENCE.

Honolulu and It's DeVy of society
matrons have at last awakened to
what is perhaps the greatest event in
the history of social affairs in our
beautiful islands, for there is hardly
a day, hour or minute at home, or
in Honolulu's busy streets, that little
breezes of conversation pertaining to
Carnival. kirmess or Floral Parade
cannot be heard echoing from all
sides. Throughout the long summer
months many little affairs of note
have taken place to tighten the hearts
of those who We're unable to make
the European trip or even see the
sights of the Greater East, and little
by little have our more fortunate
friends returned to our shores to start
the flame of social life until today it
is all abaze.
1t has often been said that for its
size, Honolulu certainly can surpass
the the greater social centers for
gaiety, and it may be said now, that
if this remark was ever thought to
have been exaggerated, it certainly
comes within comparing distance now.
The Kirmess with it new and ar
tistic way of assisting deserving
charity; the Floral Parade with its
tourist drawing asserts, and last but
not the least, the Carnival supervis-
ed by the Honolulu society of Elks in
their entering efforts to please us;
strangers visitors and all alike, is
certainly deserving of special mention
in these notes. That one individual
organization would enter into and
shoulder the responsibility of produc-
ing for. Hawaii's benefit, Carnival
that other cities and countries look
to their governments to feature is a
merit that can only be credited to this
organization.
The Elks have chosen for the Car
nival grounds this year, the new Ala
kea street dock and well chosen it is.
I This beautiful structure located as it
is on the bay shore, is only appre-
ciated when one thinks of the amount
of space, all of which is under cover,
free from rain and wind and where
our ladies' can wear what should be
worn at an occasion of this kind. Ar
tistic decorations greet us as we APP
proach our goal Of happiness, with
its beautiful clusters of colorel
lights, its hanging baskets and drap-
cries of fresh flowers and ferns, coun-
ter balanced by an array of bunting
and display of odd Glory that will
soul who enters.
The grand mask ball. the feature of
last years carnival, at the Bishop
Park To see HOnolulu's society in
its carnival spirit is indeed a treat
and on this occasion it is whispered
many costumes are to be worn that
come direct from the designer, cos
tunes that viii give the onlooker a
glimpse of what life must be in the
Garden of Gods. All preparations are
now under way for receiving the
many maskers who will do much to
enliven the spirit of the evening, and
Mrs. George II. Angus, chairman OF
the ball committee is leaving no stone
unturned to make the Mardi Gras oil
the Elks the grandest affair of its
kind.
