The women must not touch thefr halr or gown after entering the ballroom, but it is a common occurrence to see the masculine portion | f the guests clutching desperately at a | lace jabot, readjusting a wig or smooth- | ing down a satin coat underneath glit- | tering trappings so massive that theyl seem to weigh down the spirits of their essor. After a few minutes’ endur- ance, or possibly unmasking time, you will invariably note a large number who | have shed costumes, appearing in black | unable to appreciate the | sibilities of a masquerade ball ir duty to assist in its completeness. o iinsie A stunning girl is Miss Wadsworth, who has been the guest of Miss Hazel King. I regret that the quiet of the Lenten sea son prevented many of the girls from meeting her. A few who were informally | resented were most favorably Impressed and I beg to confide to you that the dear v lost their heads completely vadsworth is a decided beauty of lemi-brunette type. She is tall, finely portioned and has a sweet, woman Perhaps it might be well to add that has a prosperous papa with agreeable manners, a fat purse and very well liked on the whole. Miss Wadsworth was at Santa Barbara with the Homer Kings and came up to the city for a few ays as the guest of Miss Hazel King, she ng her departure on Monday last, much to the—bat I have already told you what she left behind. i @ David and his beautiful wife, Abigail Campbell, have been a little daughter since the present month.

Mrs. Fou was before her marriage Anita Neumann, dsughter of Paul Neumann, who was at | one time immensely popular in the Bohe- | mian Club. Immediately prior to their departure from the islands Messrs. Wilson and Bar- ton gave a farewell bachelor dinner at the Hawalian Hotel, which proved a Jjolly affair. Covers were laid for twenty- three and the decorations were elaborate. The place cards particularly were things of beauty and art. . “Jack” Wilson’s devoted attentions to Miss Rose Cunha, who is halled as the Kanaka beauty of Honolulu, afforded dainty morsels of speculation for those who love a tinge of the romantic. The popular young woman is a sister of young Cunha, who was for a time prominent in football at Yale. Miss Cunha is a stunning beauty, with hair like the midnight and melting brown Globe-trotters invariably insist can be found, elsewhere in the world as under Hawallan skies, which bring out all the sentimentality you ever possessed. Therefore, wherefore is it strange? #eiihe Among well-known San Franciscans who have made things hum in Honolulu Addison Mizner stands out as one of those best remembered for his originality. People say he used to walk up Fort street with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, coatless, prompting some one to remark, “Why will Addison insist upon being original in a very peculiar way?” “baby party” which he gave in the is still talked of and it is said that during the smallpox scare he sug- gested to hostesses that they give a vac- cination dinrer and that all be vaccinated “just for fun” after the dessert. The appendicitis dinner recently given in this by Miss Rosenstirn is said to have been the idea of Mr. Mizner, who was among those present. Mr. Mizner was the originator of ths coffin costumes, one of which was worn by him at the Mardi Gras. It is easy to understand Mr. Mizner's admiration for Miss Ethel Hager, as she “Dressing Tabls have proved interesting surprises for so- ciety. I prophesied that she would at- tend the last ball as “Ukiah,” but she represented a ghthouse,” so T was not m informed that Miss ér, owing to the extensive foundation rer lightbouse, was unable to go in her carriage to the ball and so engaged but the delightfu! success of the costume rendered the extra trouble more than worth while. Keen interest is felt in the musical ride for the benefit of the Californla Girls’ Training Home to be given on April 2 by the San Francisco Riding Club. It will be a brilliant society event. Popular young men and women are practicing diligently with their favorite horses and LA F A 1A OF THE PAST ML tw/(rzz_' “ hese the s 4 | | Will McLaine. |of M dy else’'s expense. | - on” are sometimes ordered from the stores with which toy carry out the joke, but sometimes by some misunderstanding the laugh reverts to | sender. For instance, a prominent physician in Buffalo was recently invited en shower, given in honor of one of his fair patients about to be married. For the sake of being particularly funny, he thereupon ordered a healthy looking éoll and & set of baby clothes to fit. These were sent on approbation and charged the doctor, who would rather joke than In the evening when a large party eat of friends were playing cards the bride re- | ceived the gift by & messenger at the door.

Each one of these chaps is a bon vivant whose fame has reached much farther than the islands, and it is little wonder that they were en. tertained everywhere.

The Robinson Rileys are not going out a great deal, although'they are much sought after. They live very quietly in their home on Franklin street with their dear baby, who is the center of ad- miration of their friends V well as of the entire household. Mrs) Riley loses none of her charms while the days are going by. As Genevieve Goad and as | Mrs. Martin she remained beautiful even | through the sorrows that came to her. Now life goes happily along and all is sunshine, while motherhood has added much tenderness to her face to com- plete its expression. . Mrs. Tom Magee has been staying away from everything since the death of her husband’'s father last year. She is greatly missed, for she is one of the best bred women in soclety, and In addi- tion to her tact and graces gives sunshins to every one she meets. . . Miss Edna Robinson hac postponed her trip to New York and ‘s spending Lenten days with her father, C. P. Rob- inson, during the absence of her mother and sister, Miss Kathryn, in Southern California. Miss Robinson made her debut | before her sister, but has spent most of | her time since in literary work and is rapldly galning prominence as a magazine writer. Mrs. Sallsbury is her father's sister. [ St ) Mrs. M. H. de Young and Miss Helen ds Young are having a delightful time in Southern California. Many of the voin debutante’s friends are in the south at | present, and everything is quite gay. ¥l Lord and Lady Carnarvon have been creating a soclal flutter in Los Angeles, where they have been extensively enter- | tained. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay are at their country home, Roslyn, where their tiny daughter is thriving beautifully. D Countess de Castellane and the little Castellanes have been paying a visit to Mrs. George Gould at her country home, Lakewood. The Countess gains in good looks, stateliness and charm of manner every day. One of her modish hats, which created an additional flutter of interest recently, was higher than one is accus- tomed to geeing just yet on this side of the pond. The trimmings were purpie and black with a touch of white. . . . The present season bids fair to be given over to the wearing of linen and pongee silk in the matter of dress. These ma- terials are chosen even for short walk- ing suits and are far dressier than woolen suits. Short pongee coats with double sleeves, heavily trimmed with linen laces are particularly favored.
