FROM PEGGY TO POLLY.

Inc week mas fairly flown by and
this afternoon | have been helping
10 decorate the private dining room for
| a Hawaiian entertainment to be given
| by MIR E. l.. Parker tonight Really,
! we transformed the room into a YER
| liable bower with a very wOodsy ap-
| earance. Mr. Parker is lawyer from
! Buffalo and has come to love Hawaii
and its customs and understands the
! people and their language better than
| many Of us who have lived here for
! ages. Speaking of Hawaii and its Ian.
| guage, | heard of a girl who received
letter from a friend the other day
asking what "honey-cow" meant. 1t
seems that a youth who had visited
the islands returned after a very pleas
| ant trip and when calling upon her
| one evening had called her a honey
| COW. She was insulted and told him
so but the lad was forgiven when he
explained that it was only a Hawaiian
| phrase. He was afraid after that to
! tell her the meaning of the word and
/ the girl was very anxious to know it.
| "Honi kaua WikiWiki" seems to be the
most popular phrase in the Hawaiian
| dictionary for malihinis.
| Oh, my dear, | must tell you this:
Jack Moir is engaged and to an east.
ern girl. Gertrude Fisher is her name
Beautiful" and such a dear" are
the comments | hear about her.
| There goes, also, another Of our Ha'
,waiian born lads but with him is one
| Of the girls. | can't tell you her name
though you can easily guess, as It Ia
to one Of the responsible men work
ing on the plantation next to her
fathers. She is graduate Of the
academy and was very popular during
her stay here. The girl was going t.
announce it the other day but it pour
| ed cats and dogs and not enough peo-
pie came to the party. Being very shy
she did not want to tell it to the very
few.
You remember Sammy Adair, who
was here last year with the u C. base.
ball team. heard the other day from
a girl who was at the California lake
rally" and Sammy is custodian of the
axe. There were some Stanford men
up on the u. C.. campus who were try
ing very hard to get the implement
of warfare but the large bodyguard
from California made it impossible
The axe, you know, originally belong
4 ed to Stanford, but was stolen by one
Il OF the Californians one day at a base
stbaH game when the "S" boys had il
on exhibition. The boy grabbed il
and ran and was pursued but managed
to get the thing across the ferry by
taking an unknown girls arm. In the
meantime the handle has been cut of
so that the axe might be hidden be
meath ones coat The girl was game
and ever since the axe has had a Gus
todian and is brought out once a year
that time being the close of the base
ball season. Sammy Adair is about
the most popular man in college. A
portion of the girls letter describing
the final game reads, The score stood
A in the ninth inning and it looked
as though U. C. would either have tc
play another inning or lose the game
Dodson, the captain, was on first
Sammy Adair then came to the bal
and sent a peach across the field and
Jimmie tore home. After the game
the U. C. boys serpentined all ovsl
the California field. l wouldn't haVe
missed 1t for anything, then Sammy

| / Though the California baseball team
may not visit Honolulu this year, theil
famous glee club has planned to come
and many of the young society folks
are looking forward to that. Two fra
ternity brothers of Erling Hedemann' s
and one of Shirley Bush will be with
the aggregation and it is expected that
they will be given a royal time.
A recent letter from the East
brought news of some of the girls who
are studying abroad Doris Taylor
the popular Honolulu girl who is study
ing at Smiths, Northampton, had
been spending few days in New York
and had heard Gadski and other ia
nous singers. Doris graduates next
year and intends to come home for a
year after that. She has taken ~
the study Of English Laura Low also
has been to the Big City, Abut seems
more thrilled with the tango teas than
opera.
| There is nothing really exciting 60
ing on at school. The seniors, how
ever, are all planning their graduation
dresses and exercises; of course, the
dresses are quite the most important
part, think some of the girls, and
heard one say in regard to that, Why
certainly they are the most important
part. Who wants to listen to a lot oil
dry essays unless they can be look
ing at some stunning gowns at the
same time. 1t would be awfully mo-
notonous, you know" The dresses
though, will be quite simple this year
Speaking of school. | heard a proud
father from the East speaking of his
daughters who attend a very select
school just outside of New Jersey, the
other day. He received a cable from
the matron of the school to come
Immediately. Father came and was
told that the so-called "scrapes" would
have to stop. Are my girls the only
ones implicated" questioned fond
father "Oh, no." was the reply, but
your girls are into everything with

an interview with the daughters in
