FROM PEGGY TO POLLY.


Dearest Polly:
In Honolulu the New Year did star
eff with the most enjoyable weathe
imaginable. Well-not exactly thu
New Year, but the second day of tn
year, which was to most of our vel
known and joyous folk, the first day
for coming home at s a. m. on rain
first of January after happy 3lst
December is liable to make one slee>
and remain quite oblivious to the da
they so hilariously welcomed few
hours before. But that is not telling
you that Sunday morning was one o.
the most beautiful of Sunday morn
ings that our lovely island has seen
| for some Moons Some times, bethinks
me that cur warm, balmy, breezy eli
mate has gone back on US and if the
rain does not stop and the wind cease
its capers we will have to change our
manner of advertising. | wonder Ii
those of the island folk Nho nave come
back all done up in their white fox and
seal-skin have thought that this is
not the best manner of advertisement
for their esteemed home and If they
were real, loyal Gop9trymeR would
give up such good-looking comfort and
60 back to just warm wrap.
But this must be boring you amaz-
ingly and I'll talk of lighter and more
interesting things. An engagement,
| for instance. ~.
There really is one somewhere
about. I'm sure you'll be interested
in it though | cannot tell you the
name of at least one rapturous cou-
| pie, and they are both very well
known to most everyone in Honolulu.
She is a great beauty, with dark hair
and soft laughing eyes, like sentl-
mental novelists describe, and he is
as good-looking as the type of man
| you see on the back of the Saturday
Evening Post advertising the fashion
able Arrow collar. The announcement
will not be made for some time, am
quite sure, and may not be made here
as neither of them are islanders.
| The Great Northern brought home a
| Honolulan, or a Honolulu man who
now claims as his home San Francis
co. Charles Wall was among the re-
turning passengers after an absence OF
over seven years. Now seven years
| is a long time and town growing
as Honolulu does sees many changes
| in those years Mr.. Wall realized this
and brought brand new automobile
so that absolutely none of the sights
would be missed. H.. .......
There has been a big lull in social
doings this week, suppose because
in the last two weeks almost every
one has entertained and been enter
! tanned until they are simply worn to
a FRAGILE. Every cloud has its silver
lining" and in this instance the silver
lining is to appear on the 18th of this
month when the Army Relief Associa-
ton has its ball. Now, everyone or
anyone who thinks he or she is or
should be considered someone will be
there in full regalia and about every
dressmaker and designer is busy, for
there seems to be nothing too good
and little good enough to be worn on
this occasion. When the army ladies
set out to do anything, they always
/ do it and spare not the least effort In
making their affairs a success, so the
success of the social side of the ball
| is quite. insured and from all reports
! financially, too. On the evening OF the
18th. the enlisted men are to have
| their charity ball, which, is to be CIV
en- at the National Guard armory, also.
The ladies' who are in charge OF the
| first ball also have this in hand ana
the entertainment is to be in the form
of a country ball. thus varying from
| the previous affair About the same
crowd it is expected will attend this
ball also; indeed there is not an ON
Ger or his lady who is not as keenly
interested in this as in the earlier al
faiF So smile your wittiest, bow your
prettiest and kiss the man you love
the best and maybe he'll take you 10
the charity ball. .......~ *..... .
Are you following Chloe Malone!
That's a question which is very often
asked. There is hardly Honolulan
who is not following Chloe Malone and
who would not like to find Fanny
Heaslip Lea on dark, dreary night
and grab her and run away with her,
and if they could not find the NJ. >.
about, make her sit down in great
big easy chair and tell the story OF
the irresistible Chloe to the very end
where it comes to the "And-so-they-
