FROM PEGGY TO POLLY.

Dearest Polly:
This week has not been so terribly
gay Though il is true there has been
something to take US cut almost every
night but the afternoons and morn
ings have been quite free Of social
engagements. A part of this is Ia
sympathy for the bereavement OF Airs.
{. S. Holloway and her sen, Francis
Brown, who is so popular with the
younger folks. Dir. HoIlowayis death
was a shock to everyone. The Jones
calico ball was postponed until next
Isaicnday evening that is going to
be very wonderful affair, am told.
and from the very outrageous CO.'S
tunes that are being designed and
fused over, believe it will be a
very picturesque Tsarty.
The dance at the Country Club by
Gel. and Mrs. Charles Cromwell for
their daughter Mildred, on Monday
evening, was certainly jolly affair.
You knew there are some parties
where absolutely every one has a good
time and think this was one Of them.
At any rate all have heard this week
from the younger girls was. Didn't
we have coed time at Mildred's''
and Il wish there'd be more parties
Ike them.
DO you know that old fashioned "Ba-
con Bats are coming in vogue again.
Perhaps the generation Of today, hav-
ing had everything new. are reaching
out for something different. even il
it is 100 years old Next thing we
hear. about viii be q barn dance with
tallcw candles and fiddler sitting on
box In one corner Of the room to
furnish lively dances. And they'll be
dancing Paul Jones and barn dances
and a Virginia reel. But to go back
to the Bacon Bat That's what they
are called in Good Housekeeping Mag
azine but for all that they might be
called steak parties. You know the
kind. where you go way off to the
beach or the mountains with a big
Juicy steak and some rich homemade
bread and butter and cook the steak
over the fire on sharp-pointed stick.
Crave on, fair one. rave on!) A dandy
place fer that sort Of thing and where
most people go for their steak parties
is around Diamond Head, right under
the lighthouse. There is a beautiful
beach there and on a moonlit night 1t
is simply perfect.
The Eric Knudsen nouse.party.
which is being given at their home
en- Kauai from the fourth to the four
teenth of August, Is taking most OF
the young people away They leave
next Wednesday in the steamer w. g.
Hall and return in that noble craft two
weeks after. A number Of the girls
are deafhly afraid of being seasick and
the boys seem to delight in telling
jokes on seasick people. Poor girls,
I'M sorry for them II they do get
sick for the boys viii just about tease
the life out of them.
Rrth Anderson and Pauline Schaefer
left IN the Matsonia on Wednesday
and really there is an awful shortage
IN girls this summer. as it is. You
know 1t is generally the other way,
but with sc many masculine visitors
the girls are Just about swamped.
At the dances there are generally six
or eight, at least, men who are sitting
cut when every girl is dancing and
theyl stand around at the entrance to
Acut In on the partners they want
Cutting in is fun and sometimes the
girls have three and four partners for
one dance. There are generally three.

OF dancing the Castle walk has at
last arrived. Perhaps a little late, but
meme the less popular. must say that
ii locks Ike a whole lunatic asylum
hut nevertheless comfortable easy
going dance and that seems to be
what the dancers are looking for now.
And there is new fox-trot which is
very popular, being much simpler than
the one first brought to Honolulu.
Polly, pretty soon men, strangers to-
Honolulu or otherwise. are going to-
be afraid to look at the girls here
fer fear they will be engaged to them.
Quite pretty little girl here just
about announced her engagement to
all of her friends in the city and told
them the name of her fiance and said
that the betrothal would be announced
IN tho RETURN of the gentleman. The
