FROM PEGGY TO POLLY.
Honolulu. February II, 1911

Honolulu, February II, 1915.
Dear Polly. IT'S simply shoekin
the way time flies here. II seems bu
a week ago since the New Year mad
its bow and 10, this morning ! awok
TO the fact that in nine days We WI
be welcoming the Mid-Pacific earn
val of 1915. Already the merchant
are decorating their windows and il
another day or two the place VII
fairly blaze with yellow and gold
wreaths and pennants: even the thea
tiers are bedecked for the occasion.
The Carnival Peace Pageant is &C

Hawaiian Department. ! have been
told that Tor these three occasions

have been working for weeks on plans
for these decorations, but from what
I have heard all this work will not be
wasted, for an unusually artistic
scheme for the Arrangement of the
colors has been developed.
Skating still holds sway during the
closing days OF the pre-Lenten season
and I fancy that the sport has such
q fascination for society folk that
some Of them win be tempted to skate
during Lent. We have all been very
much amused at the beginners who
are taking up this pastime. One young
lady has q dreadful time with the roll
lers attached 10 her slippers and
was told the other day that when she
and Bob McCorriston start around the
floor 1t is quite case of the blind
leading the blind. They take good
