u each year there are a number OF
IN debutantes in Honolulu society,
debutante ball is a thing sell
dom heard Of Society matrons will
Introduce several dainty maids this
year and IL is hoped that some Of them
will be presented in a somewhat form
al way. - ...
Perhaps one OF the reasons for the
absence OF these functions is that
many OF tie young g;Tis go into socl-
ETY. at rather early age. In the east
and in the west some OF the smarte>i
affairs OF the season are the balls and
teas given for the debutantes. All Of
the social leaders are hidden to che
functions which as a rule follow a
whirl of teas, dinners and dances.
Honolulu is noted all over the world
for it's wealth and reports OF many
Of the social functions here are. print
ed in the eastern papers. Hostesses
here are known to be as gracious as
and even. more gracious than many
who entertain layishfy on the rnain-
land Why not then let their ways be
as advanced as those Of society mat
rons abroad
Another thing in Honolulu society
that Is CONSPICUOUS by It's absence is
the weekend party. There is seldom
q week that an eastern paper does not
give a detailed account Of several de-
lightful house parties Residents OF
Honolulu have, the majority OF them
at least, country homes almost "as
smansion-like" as their town houses.
During the greater part OF the winter
these homes are vacant when they
might well be used for week end gay
etles.
IN speaking OF the coming festivities
Of the social season a writer Tor the
New York Times tells OF the reform
Of the dance. Social leaders there
have abolished the rag, bunny hug"
Arizona Anguish" and the rest OF the
displeasfng dances. and the graceful
minuet and waltz will again be favor
ed Honolulu on the contrary is just
waking up to the fact that these queer
dances EXIT and there are now few
dances where the waltz and two-step
prevail. 4 few of the girls have re-
fused thus far to learn any OF the
dances that demand contentious but in
dicntions are that even they will soon
give IN or stop dancing, for the grown.
up people have introduced the rag Into
their ball rooms. Az 4 rule Honolulu
Is alive and awake to every thing that
IL advanced, and the question may
well be asked. why not follow the adj
vice Of thofe who are experienced and
