MANS HOUSEWARMING +.


MANS HOUSEKEEPING "
Unsurpassed for hospitality in the
social annals of Honolulu was the re-
cepticn and housewarming given by
DR.. and Mrs. NJ Edmund Grossman 10
their friends on Friday night, when.
the interior OF their handsome new
Nuuan1 home was seen for the first
tire II Is probably within the truth
TO say that virtually all who received
cards we're in attendance. AT any
rate, there was a tremendous crush
from o'clock on. Spacious marques
had been erected and adorned for the
comfort Of the guests. The first mar
quee was the dance room, which was
circular. Every shape and size OF
Japanese lantern was used in this
place, the upright posts being heavily
yeiled in the Huapala vine. Every
beam and rafter was perfectly covered
end at intervals about this circular
floor were clumps OF greenery and
foliage. From here the punch mar
quee was entered and in this green
and gold predominated. The serving
table was conyentionally decorated
the broad, sweeping lanai greets the
faced little daisies with maidenhair
fern. The upTights were concealed
with fine Japanese bamboo. From
heresthe supper room was approached
and a pretty sight It was, with every
table adorned with a basket holding
golden coreopsis and lace fern. This
room was in keeping with the rest and
in perfect taste
On entering this handsome home
the borad, sweeping lanai. greets the
eye pleasantly, the makai lanai being
especially sheltered from wind and
rain, and here restful, comfy" chairs
give the atmosphere Of real home.
The broad, deep hall is lovely with
its handsome hanging and exquisite
rugs and pictures The drawing room,
where DR.. and Mrs Grossman and
Mrs Shepherd. Mrs CHEESEMAN'S
mother, received, is one of the hand
soonest rooms In any Honolulu home.
Il is done In Tose-pilk with a silver
sheen that is restful and pleasing. A
crystal light in this room is very love
Iy. Across the hall the pleasant.
cheerful library, with the open fire
place, the logs brightly burning, was
especially welcome last evening for
the night outside was chill. This
room is in quiet, restful tones, with
great, broad chairs giving cordial
welcome.
From this one looks into the beauti-
full dining room with its handsome
furniture, rugs and draperies, and then |

indeed alluring. Every room through |
out the home is furnished in perfect
taste. The bed chambers upstairs
are In soft, pastel shades, each room
different and yet harmonious whole.
A wide, spacious hall upstairs makes
the approach to each room charming |
Honolulu surely wishes the Gross. |
mans long and happy years In their |
new home. Mr.. E. A. p. Newcomo |
was the architect and he planned |
wisely and well.
Beautiful gowns are the artistic |
triumph OF the hour and the assem- |
bIage or women at the Grossman func |
ton showed scores Of the exquisitely |
designed frocks. 1t would indeed be |
unwise to mention the frock worn by |
any one as everyone was a creation OF |
the dress builders art and each de- |
serves mention II space permitted. A
sure sign of the success of party /
Is the reluctance with which guests de-
part and last evening everyone was
very loath to leave such happy and i
charming surrounding. Excellent |
dance music kept the guests, regard
