FROM PEGGY TO POLLY.

have just passed. but | guess people
are about exhausted. Four weeks OF
steady going is about all one can
stand In such lazy happy go-lucky
climate as we have in Honolulu. The
Cubist, FuturIst and Post Impression
list party was really the only big thing
OF the week, with the exception of the
joint tea at the Country Club, at
which Mrs. William Davis and Mrs.
l.. J. Owen were hostesses. Mrs.
Bruce Cartwright was tremendously
original and brave to plan and give
such an entertainment. / say brave
because 1t was fully three months
steady work and took years plan
ming. She is really Futurist ano
Cubist, and some Of her work. arts
ticaIly speaking and from the stand
point OF the Cubist, is really very
good. | have heard that through
painting a Cubist picture for the af-
fair, Howard Hitchcock has been con.
yerted. II really is something which
grows on you" That is the first party
of the sort ever heard of in the world
and the first Cubist dances were
were carried out to the remotest de-
tall, even to the cigarettes and candy,
which were made to order.
Baseball is making quite a hit now
that the Stanford nine is here. The
boys are a splendid looking lot and
they, or some of the members OF this
team, are learning something about
Hawaii which Alexander's history for
got to mention. That is, that tbs
girls here are not cannibals. Having
read a few books on good manners
and good form, they have been known
TO accept introductions and occasion
ally TO perform one. +"
! must tell you good joke on one
of the most popular girls here. A
very important dance was being CIV
en- and the fair one had no escort.
She thought and thought and finally
found one man for whom she might
secure an invitation. BY handing the
missiye to him, her partner, of course,
would be insured But-when she said
Here is an invitation to So-and-So's
dance, thought you might like to
co. he replied with most gracious
bow, why, thank you, ! hope ! shall
see you there The girl said that she
could not wait to get into the house
to give way to mirth. 1t was abso-
lutely too good joke.
There are a number of prominent
fraternities with representatives on
the baseball team. Russell O'Nei,
Tom Workman and Ray Dent are from
the Beta Theda ri house. Zeta Psi is
represented by Mr.. Hayes, the pitcher,
and Walter Stafford. l guess you re-
member Barrett Small, who beat Duke
in the 50-yard swim. Well. he was
Zeta Psi from U. g. Gus Hoover rep
resents the Theta Delta Chi. Mr.
Maple comes from the Sigma III
house. Probably there will be pam
Hellenic dinner given. / have heard
such suggestions made.
Two interesting weddings como
along this month OF June, The first
will be that of Nudge Gilman and
Percy Nottage and the second that OF
Helen Spalding and Ensign Howard
Douglass Bode of the navy, Nudge and
Percy have been engaged for about
two years and are about two OF the
best-liked people | know of In the
younger set. Their wedding will be
a quiet one on June Is. for which Mrs.
Gilman is arriving from California.
Helen Spalding and the ensign will be
married on the 29th at high noon.
This will be quite an elaborate AFFAIR,
She is the last single OF the pretty
Spalding girls, and is the only one
marrying into the navy, the other
three being matrons in army sets.
The weddings of the three Spaldings
have been recorded in the history oil
Honolulu society as notable AFFAIRS.
Weddings are always things to look
forward to, anyway, no matter whose
they are, and when two society ones
come at the same time, of course, II Is
more exciting still.
The Walter Macfarlanes are going
TO celebrate their tenth wedding annl-
versary this month. A tin wedding,
and l believe, Ernest Parker has been
planning something very unusual for
the affair He has some OF the most
unique and original ideas you ever
heard of and as for decoration, well,
he takes the frosting on the cake. He
has studied. ...
The popular Josephine Mccormack
niece of Capt. and Mrs. Edward Ias-
see, has left, with strings TO a num-
Der of hearts peacefully reposing in
her alligator bag. says Dame Rumor.
On the eve of her departure, Miss
Sally Brown gave an deliberately ap
pointed dinner for her, after wllch
the guests participated in the hotel
dance. Miss Mccormack, during her
visit here, learned everything worth
learning-she could play an accom-.
paniment on the ukulele as well as
girls who have lived here for years.
Everyone is hoping against hope that
she will return soon. .. .
The weather is beastly warm
and the call of the surf is too great
to remain indoors any longer. ill.,.
Love,
PEGGY.
