The Coconuts, be it known, are the bachelors and hono- rary bachelors of Palm Beach, who band themselves into a club each vedr and give one large and exceed- ingly festive party for the entertain- "|ment of the younger set and those of the older who are deemed eligible. There is always much mystery about the Coconuts, for it is one of their strictest rules that no one must know anything about the party until it happens. Even the roster of mem- bers in this exclusive group is kept secret and not until the night of the ball do the guests know who the hosts are. Of course, the Coconuts Who come back each year to Palm Beach are usually spotted, but guess- ing who the new ones are and who the chief Coconut is provides soclety Wwith amusement. Caleb Bragg, one of the most popular of the bachelors, is suspected of being the grand kleagle of the Coconots, but even this is uncertain. Club a “Tropical Forest."
