needed Society folk are taking the
attitude that it is not only their pleas
ure but their duty TO land a shoulder

Society folk interested in Tines Dan
SAINTS which are forming such an al,
Turing part of our afternoon affairs
will enjoy hearing of the dansants at
the Palace hotel in San Francisco.
Miss Marion White, who visited in
Honolulu for several months last sum-
mer. is at the head of the Palace
dansants and has won far more popu-
larity than even the Cranes and Maui
rices, so widely renowned for their.

The dansants at the Palace hotel

aged in such a way that the4 faint OF
snobbery is absolutely, lacking. 1t
takes great finesse TO hSepmplish this
result, and 1t is IMPOSSIBLE to give a
blue print plan of jdst how it is done,
but on the other hand it is equally
impossible to attend one CT these af.
fairs at the Palace Without realizing
that there is just The right atmos-
phere-which meansgthat the invita-
.tion 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 semipublic affairs of
this sort. For example, there have
been other dansants where the COM
mittee in charge has offended peo-
pie of the very best social position
lust because they did not happen to
know of their claims to this estate.
When the dansants at the Palace were
started, there were 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

Events that are attracting consider.
aDle 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
trayelogue will be accompanied by
about 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" In
