SAN FRANCISCO'S ALOHA"
Every steamer departure from San
Francisco for Honolulu seems gayer
than the last, ard the island customs
OF giving leis and throwing colored
streamers has been adopted wholesale
by the Golden Gate City.
Now the transport departures are
! getting TO be regular informal society
events also. The Chronicle says Of
the last sailing OF the Sherman:
Mrs. Lee Holcombe, widow Of the
late Commander Holcombe of the
navy, and her son, Capt Lee Holcombe
/; of the Medical Corps, u. s. A., sailed
for Honolulu after having spent a
fortnight here as the guests OF Maj
and Mrs. william Hastings Brooks at
their nome in Laguna street Mrs
Holcombe makes her home with her
son.
While in San Francisco Mrs. Hol-
combe was the guest of honor at a
number Of luncheons and teas given
!, by the army set Mrs. Brooks gave q
/ large tea at which she shared the hon
ors with Mrs. j. Franklin Bell. Mrs.,
Thomas G. Carson gave tea at the
Bellevue hotel for her
Lieutscol. James II. McRae, Mrs
McRae and their two daughters Of
Washington. ID. c., sailed for Homo
ZULU ami Commander Wilbur Briggs of

and the Misses Briggs, sailed for Ma
Mia. Also bound for Manila were
Capt. and Mrs. c. W. Weeks and three

Kiehl, wife and daughter, left for Ho-
nolulu and Col. Harris j. Pendleton,
wife and children went to Manila.
The big transI ort, with Its red,
white and blue smokestack, made a
gallant picture as she swung into the
stream end nosed for the Golden Gate.
A detachment Of soldiers from the
Preside had been sent to the dock as
escort Of honor to the officers and
the departing regiment and military
band played the tine-honored airs
which soldiers associate with part

= SAN FRANCISCO SAYS FARE q
WELL
The sailing of the transport Sher-
man Monday seemed more like gala
event in society than the parting Of
relatives and friends. In the list OF
travellers we're several who have en-
joyed unusual popularity in San Franz
cisco during their station here, and
the departure of Capt. and Mrs. Com
rad Babcock, who have been enjoying
comparatively brief stay in the city
before sailing, was the signal for a
large gathering OF the smart set. Vir-
tually the same crowd that had as
sembled q short time before to wit
ness the departure for Honolulu Of
Rev. and Mrs. Henry Sloane Coffin,
the latter Of whom is sister Of Mrs.
Conrad Babcock, were at the pier to
bid the Babcocks farewell. Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Parmelee Eels, the
father and mother of Mrs. Babcock;
Mrs. John Breckenridge Babcock, the
mother of Capt Babcock; Mr.. and
Mrs. John Lawson and Miss Sara Cot
fin we're only a few of those who
went down to say goodby to this
popular copple.-San Francisco Chron-
icle.
