eft Of the society tomorrow afternoon
on the Young hotel roof garden. That
the affair will be as much OF a sue,
cess as the one held last week is,
OF course, an almost assured fact, but
Of course it Is important that every
one retain their original interest and
enthusiasm, keeping in mind not only
the pleasure OF the affair but the
good cause for which the money is
needed. Society folk are taking the
attitude that it is not only their pleas

side at the tea tables later in the
afternoon. During the tea hour Mrs

music is really one Of the most de-
lightful features Of the afternoon.

The dansants at the Palace hotel
have lent bouquet to the dancing
life OF the city. for which we should
all be grateful. Without bending, much
less breaking, the high standard OF
exclusiyeness which must obtain in
order to keep these affairs from sag

ace dansants are nevertheless man
aged in sffch a way that the tdint of
snobbery is absolutely lacking. It
takes great finesse TO accomplish this
result, and it is impossible to give a
blue print plan of just how 1t is done,
but on the other hand 1t is equally
Impossible to attend one Of these af.
fairs at the Palace without realizing
that there is. Just the right atmos-
phere which means that the invita-.
ton list has been properly exported.
There is great difference between
exporting, and the patronesses OF
these dansants have evidently the com.
bination Of knowledge which one so
rarely finds in semi-public affairs OF
this sort For example, there have
been other dansants where the com.

started, there we're those who pre-.
dicted that the idea was being spread
so thick over the season that people
would soon tire Of having all their
days and nights set to dance music.
But the manner and method of the
Palace dansants has extended the pop
ularfty of these affairs, and undoubt
eddy prolonged their life.

Events that are attracting consider
able interest among the society folk
of town are the travelogues which
Miss Lila Van Kirk will give after
the Carnival. There will be four of
these given In private homes and will
be more of the nature of social events
than Of educational lectures. Each
will be accompanied by
about a hundred and thirty stereopti-
con views beautifully colored by Miss
Van Kirk herself. Among the topics
on which she will speak are Two
Weeks in Rome" "a Walk Through
the Streets of Florence, Southern
Italy, and Venice by Moonlight" I'm
and About Paris" Miss Van Kirk is
at the Moana. She has only recently
come from San Francisco, where she
gave a series of lectures at the St.
Francis before three hundred or more
of the Peninsula smart set. That her
clever little resumes of travel-filled
as they are with the atmosphere and
Tilt Of the old world-were popular
with her audiences was fully evinced
by their great enthusiasm, echoes Of
which filtered down to Hawaii even
before the lecturer herself arrived.
