Show B " ringwTrnrTTTirTTninrTTnnriiwipiiiwBwiw!i B ' I Saunterings H A friendly pair who were recently enjoying B the moonlight In a big touring car under the H guidance of the gentleman's chauffeur, agreed H about midnight that it would be a good plan ro H. have a little something to eat and drink before B going home, so the host instructed his driver b to go to a certain popular cafe. B It is a habit of his to go to the restaurant H through the main entrance to the hotel, so the Ki well trained man. in front promptly drove the H car to the accustomed stopping place. As it came H to a standstill, a bell boy rushed out, opened the H door of the tonneau, and as the gentleman as- H sisted the lady to alight, said to him, "Any bag- H gage, sir?" There was consternation for a mo- K meat, whioh ended in a general laugh. H ButN the worst was yet to come. Walking H? ililirough the lobby of the hotel the lady and gen- H tleman entered the elevator, and without in- H structions the operator pulled the lever and up H went the car. "Down!" bellowed the host. "You H know it," said 'tlhe lady, and with rare presence H of mind the operator changed the direction of H the lift and a tragedy was averted. m H The social Mecca will be situated at the Coun- H try club today and the devotees of fashion will H worship at the tea tables and outside the wicket H at the tennis courts where in a series of mixed H doubles some of the members will play tennis and H some will play for looks. Later on 'there will be H any number of dinner panties and after that so- H ciety will dance into Easter morning, but not so H late that it will be too tired to arise in time for H -tihe parade tomorrow. Today will see the formal H opening for the season at ithe Club, but it is not H really going to be very formal. The opening is H in charge of the entertainment committee, which H will be assisted by a number of other ladies, In- H eluding the wives of the directors. H There is quite a difference after all between B men and women and the way they do things, in H spite of all the learned arguments of ithe suf- H fragettes and the hubandettes concerning the H equality of the sexes, says the Bystander of the H Hawaiian Gazette. For example, the following: H There is a lady in Honolulu, a recent arrival, H who has been received with open arms by island H Society capital S because she is a societj H woman and has been a leader among those who H call themselves the Smart Set more capitals H in larger cities than Honolulu. Recently, having H accepted a daintily penned invitation to "lunch H and bridge," she found herself, with three other H ladies, shuffling and cutting and saying "May I H play," and "Pray do," and the other things that H distinguish bridge from such vulgar games as pinochle and draw. The game came to an end, as all things do, when one of the players passed a slip of paper over to the guest. From it she read: "You owe four dollars." Puzzled, she glanced at her vis-a-vis and asked: "Do you intend in-tend this for me?" "Oh, yes," was smiled back. "You owe me four dollars. See, here is the score.' "But there must be some mistake," said the newcomer. "Do you mean that I have played and lost four dollars?" "Yes, you owe four dollars." dol-lars." "Well, I'm sure there must be some mistake. mis-take. I cannot owe you anything, because I never play for money." "Oh, but you owe four dollars. That's what the score makes it." "I'm sorry. Will you kindly get the four dollars from my husband? He is in the next room. He'll be interested, I know, in learning that I have been playing for money." There the incident in-cident closed. Which shows the difference between be-tween the man who invites you to "take a hand" and the woman who invites another to "bridge." Both want your coin, but the man makes clear what the stakes are before the game begins and gives everyone a chance to see that there are no cold decks about. The women frequently doesn't, because she is a lady.
