such a large factor in deciding an
important point. few things may
flourish and apparently go on without
their approval, yet il is. conceded
fact that the debutante usually puts
the stamp OF approval on what pleas
es her young. highness and the rest
goes by the board.
Last year dancing seemed to be the
one thing that the smart set, rank
and file, enjoyed to the limit.
II Honolulu could boast an ice-skat-
ing rink as does San Francisco, you
may rest assured that dancing would
20 to the wall for a year at least.
During the short time that the roller
skating rink was open here the smart
set was skate mad Age was no bar.
The heads that had silver threads
among the gold" were among the most
enthusiastic. Few better exercises
can be imagined and many OF the
girls and boys were as fleet as birds
and no doubt felt better for their
strenuous exercise.
As far as the dancing fad is con-
cerned that, too, has undergone so
many changes that those who learned
the difficult steps OF the dansant sea-
son have had to forget nearly all they
learned in order to keep up with the
newest. This year dancing on the
mainland has resumed its old time
place as an enjoyment. rather than an
intricate study. Simple, "old-fashion-
ed steps are popular.
II Is curious TO watch the change in
the younger set in the last few years.
Formerly the debutante followed the
older sets lead and now she takes
the fore as by nature.
So many of the younger set have
taken up bridge, and many of them
play a rather heady game. OF course
the debutante never plays cards at
night--that hour us always given over
TO lighter things--or SO ii is supposed.
There is far and away a greater tend
ency for affairs out-of-doors than ever
before. Not only is golf great fav-
orite but tennis has undergone de-
cided revival Every tennis court in
Honolulu is busy morning and after
noon and at the Manoa and Moana
courts night tennis is played a great
deal. The golf links are thronged
with women every morning and in
the afternoon the men hold sway.
Moanalua links are. Ihecomfng very
popular. Horseback riding is another
form of outdoor life here that is en-.
joyed for the twelve months of the
year; swimming Is another out-of-door
sport that IS thoroughly enjoyable,
Aquaplaning is an added Joy to those
who love the ocean. u certainly is
great sport to balance standing on a
surfboard with launch towing one
at about Is miles an hour. Trap and
revolver shooting is the very latest
fad and two or three times week
members of the younger set may be
seen on their way to target practise
So is ii any wonder that the young
people on visit here from the main
land are. fascinated by the charm oil
out-of-doors life or the islander?
Weddings will play large part in
things social this fall as four of the
most popular society bellies will be
led to the altar. Miss Rose Herbert
Miss Myrtle Schuman, Miss Haze
auckland and Miss Grace Robertson
will all be married before 1917.
Society is looking forward to these
weddings as all of the girls are island
born and daughters OF Hawaii in
the truest sense of the word Miss
Schuman. Miss Herbert and Miss
auckland are now in San Francisco
selecting their trousseaux and many
will be the beautiful gowns thew will
bring home. All four OF the brides-to
be are very pretty girls and will make
charming figures on their wedding
days.
