What a wonderful week this has
/ been-opera, dancing, the cafe-ane
| Heinie's. That sounds like the regl
| lar gay life that you read about T.
! the New York Times, doesn't it,
| Well, it is and 1t isn't. First, thu
opera. The De Folco Company open
! ed on Monday evening with Aida
Talk about your lovely gowns and al
your box and dinner parties, There
were Lucille and Paquin models right
| from Paris and Lucille and Paquin
models from New York and San Fran
cisco and Lucille and Paquin models
from Jeff's and Jordan's. And there
were corsages of American beauty
roses and diamond lavellieres and
pearl opera glasses and handsome es-
corts. The only thing lacking were
duchesses and dowagers or perhaps
the President and Mrs. Wilson, but
we had everything else that the Eng
| lish novels tell US about. Even The
romance part of it was there. You
know, more than once a wedding mas
been the elimination of 4 romance
begun at the opera. Anyway, one OF
our best-known maids appeared with
one of the best-known bachelors and
es," you know.
l got letter from one of the girls
the other day intimating an engage
ment of California girl, who has a
very familiar name to candy eaters,
and Beau Brummell of Honolulu.
The girl emphatically denies 1t and
yet. Poor boy, his engagement
has been rumored to various and sun
dry maidens in his all of rs years and
whether or not he has at last been
ensnared by the net of a charming
feminine is yet to be seen. All we'll
And now about the ChaNty Ball. 1t
was one grand success despite the
fact that the Schofield and Kane
hameha people were deprived of the
pleasure on account of the heavy
storms. Trains were stalled and au-
tomobile traffic was bsimply impos-
sible. IAN the lovely ssgowps and
things made by the stylish ladies of
the army posts We're, planned for
nought. But then, there will be other
things in the very near future to
which those gowns may be worn.
Senior and Madame Giovacehini,
who were so popular here last season,
are again to be entertained by society.
This is the baritone's third season Ill
Honolulu and already he is considered
one of the most popular singers who
has appeared in the city. Madame
Kristoffy, too, is being entertained by
the people. She was guest at tea at
the home of Mr.. Gerrit Wilder last
Monday.
Very popular visitors n the city
now are Mr.. and Mrs. Warren Cakes
of Oregon. Mrs. Cakes is stunning
type of Brunette and wears charming
gowns. She is very beautiful dane
er and attracted bit of attention at
the armory the other evening while
dancing with her husband. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hine are here from New York.
The charming lady was the cynosure
of all eyes at the opera on Monday
evening when she appeared with
Judge Wilder, Mr. and Mrs. Cakes
and Mr. Hines. Dressed in decol-
lete black gown with her jet hair
done low at the neck and wisp of
shoulders, Mrs Hines presented a
very fine life-sized portrait. The
Hines are residing at the Manoa and
expect to be here some little time.
When is Peggy Center coming bach?
is quite the common question. The
pretty Peggy is having a most enjoy
able time in California, it is told and
according to society columns is being
entertained extensively by many
friends Mrs Fritz Henshaw, who
was here about year ago, has been
hostess at tea in Miss Peggy's hon
or and that is only one of the hundred
and one things she has done. -
Have you ever had your fortune
told? OF course that has been fad
ever since there were seers and for
tune tellers, but particularly now in
Honolulu the girls of the younger set
are trapesing off to the lady in the
little back room to see If it is to be
the blue:eyed or the brown-halred
man and whether 1t will be in two
years or never And you can always
tell Just where they are going, or IL
they are going there. Halfshrdllllhr
half bold, they sneak and giggle around
the corner, hesitate at the big gate
and then with shy backward glance
race up the walk and into the big
house. When they come out they
are very radiant or very downcast. 1t
it is a good fortune, say 81 one,
they believe it, especially II she hit |
on the color of his hair But If stock
is low and they only have so cents
and the he won't come for long
time and perhaps never, then they
know that it's all a farce and they
didn't believe it anyway. But that is
the world over Things are seldom |
true unless they are the way we
want to think them, Ell, Polly?
AS an editorial in one of the daily |
newspapers said the weather has |
been no topic for polite conversation.
Well, girls, think you can bring the |
subject of weather up again without
getting shocked at the ejaculation
from your companion. The sun seems |
to have had his way about it after |
all and is coming out to visit US more |
often. Let's hope so because the wea-t
