Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1915-07-17

Dear Polly:
Well, another boat or two left this
week and took a pack OF friends and
we, per usual, are oemoaning their
loss and at the same time having one
wonderful summary" time. Friends
come and friends go and we seem To
90 on forever on one round OF jollifi-
cation. noticed something particu-
larry this week at the departure Of the
Wilhelmina. There was a girl who
evidently was losing some very good
friend and as she turned, the steamer
fast moving out of sight, she sighed
and wiped her eyes. A little fat man
With a mustache and good intentions
waved his arms and hat In the afr
and said very stoutly, Its hard,
know, but wouldn't leave for thou
sand friends"
Pretty Bud Carter comes out on
Saturday from TO T." That Is exact
ly what someone told me and every
one ID quite excited about the affair.
i guess you know that coming-out par
ties In Honolulu are not things to be
looked at as a matter-of-course same
as-any-other-tea. but something to plan
a new hat and gown for and gloves
and little extras" that have been
packed away In the trunks for ages.
! love the little tingle that runs up
my spine when think of 1t.
Polly, what are the finishing schools
like nowadays? I've been wondering
and wondering and have come to you
at last What are the results that the
dear teachers try TO bring about. I'll
tell you quite frankly why this Is puz-l
King me. don't know how to act
with the girls who have come back
from finishing schools and courses Of
study n the East When IL comes to
dancing on the wharves, to band music
that is only played to make you forget
to be sad but doesn't, or trotting up
TO soda fountain and drinking before
you've had chance to give your or
der in and even to jumping off the
street cars and out of automobiles be-
fore they've stopped, why, my dear.
I'm always left behind. Is it because
everyone Is in q rush in the East or
because these are the particular things
that finished polished girl should
do?
Ruth Soper has gone away Poor
Ruth, leaving her tears behind her.
There was an enormous crowd down
to bid her bon voyage and guess just
as the boat started to pull out the
popular girl decided to get homesick
That's the way we al win rememberl
her just laughing through her tears.
Il viii be q welcome boat that brings
Ruth and Blanche Soper home again.
Thornton Lyman. youngest brother
Of the Lyman boys, has come back. q I
graduate Of the University of Illinois
and a fraternity man. He intends to-
spend Just six weeks IN the home land 1
and then return to 60 into business on
The mainland. OF course this Is dis
to many.
One OF the dashing lieutenants Of
the army, who is stationed here, is
me immensely Whether or
not he amuses anyone else In exactly
The same way don't know. Anyway,
guess he IS one OF the most popular
Of the service men. He has all the
pleasant manners Of the islander.
which accounts, perhaps, for his charm,
md then. with his. training at West
Point. we'll you may just imagine.
And the eirlsi They are all quite
crazy about him. but they are not at
III backward about stating that as
,oon rs they think-only think, mind
they have particular string
lied quite firmly, they 60 to q dance
