n the purely social side of life-its
luncheons, theater parties. din
ners, Dances, card afternoons land
mornings very oftenl-the smart set
nevertheless seems TO be entering
with unexampled yigor into outdoor
sports this winter. Besides the usual
oldtime amusements, with golf head
ing the list and tennis a close second,
several have been added TO the num-
Der OF sports that claim the enthusi-
asm OF the feminine side Of society,
So much Is this the case that many
times its more commonplace interests
are allotted To the background. Out
door amusements formerly were re-
garded as diversions OF the summer
season. Not so today. Now the fact
that the difference between summer
and winter climate in this section OF
the globe is not sufficiently great to
cause any change of plans, has been
borne In on the popular mind until the
summer entertainments Of what sort
soever are continued indefinitely-f
one feels so inclined. Who today ever
thinks of refusing golf match just
because Its raining? No one who
has ever played here minds a bit OF
upper, or for that matter, under, mois-
ture for, as we all know, it showers
several times day in upper Nuuanu,
as IL does in Hanoa valley. Yet the
rain never stops anyone who Is truly
a sportsman for sports sake-that is,
getting all the good out of whatever
one goes into.
Honolulu is SO vastly different from
almost any other place on the globe,
we are here law almost unto our
own, for one here rarely follows the
conventions OF other social -centers.
That is the gist of every strangers
comment on leaving the islands.
A glimpse Of Hawaiian hospitality
was seen Thursday when Princess
David Kawananakoa graciously enter
tanned every person OF Hawaiian blood
who wished To call and they came In
hundreds TO pay honor and homage to
the mother OF The young prince OF the
land. How the Hawaiians love Prin-
cess Kawananakoa! The great gar
den surrounding the home was dotted
with groups of, loving friends and we'll
wishers. A group OF pau riders was
another evidence Of the love Of the
out OF doors In the people OF this land,
for they we're not young girls who rode
them for pleasure and dignity, but
women. many Of them long past the
prime of life, who yet sit their mounts
with ease and grace.
Speaking Of the sporting penchant
here, polo has got into the blood
OF the gentler sex and twice a week.
IL one has the courage to rise early
enough, the young members OF socie.i
~ may be seen struggling with that
miserable little, white, elusive ball
that seems TO be any place but with
in reach. As one of the girls said,
Never again shall I sit on the bleach
ers and wonder why bad play is
made or a ball passed. 1t is not near
ly as easy as it appears from the
bleachers."
What a pity Honolulu has not an ice
skating rink for here we have some
expert skaters and it is not only great
fun but excellent exercise.
