Miowera, returned to their homes
in Victoria on the Warrimoo on
Thursday last. This IS the first
excursion Of the kind that has
visited Honolulu from British
Columbia and will, no doubt, be
followed by many moro in the
near future. Amongst the party
was Miss Agnes Deans Cameron,
principal Of South Park School,
Victoria, who is a bright news
paper correspondent, aud who
will, no doubt, give Hawaii q
splendid advertisement in the
Victoria press, as all the ladies
were perfectly charmed with their
soiourn here. The boast Of this
country has always been its ex-
ceptional advantages as a resort
for tourists. This is all very fine
so far as climate, scenery, hotel
accommodation and all that sort
of thing is concerned, but unless
a little of the milk of human kind
ness and hospitality is thrown in
these count for naught. We would
like to know how many
of the local teachers enter
tanned these young ladies
while they were here, and how
many families invited them to
their homes Even the news
papers, with two exceptions, fail
ed to refer to their presence in
the community. This may seem
a small matter to be discussed in
a newspaper, but then it must be
remembered that life is made up
of little things and some of the
items apparently very insignifi-
cant at that. The fact is that
eight highly respectable and cul-
tivated young women from a
friendly country have been permit
ted to spend eight days in Homo
lulu, and with single exception
did not receive common ordinary
hospitality. Had it not been for
the fact that friends of some of
the ladies in Victoria communi-
Gated with members of the Scot
tish Thistle Club here the plea
sure of the visitors would have
been very much curtailed. The
officers of the Thistle Club de-
serve credit for their forethought
in extending hospitality and in
formation to those ladies. While
here the visiting teachers engaged
rooms at the Hawaiian Hotel and
also carriages to be at their dis
posal whenever required. They
took advantage of every moment
of time to take in the sights and
were sorry their vacation term did
not permit them to stay q month
in the country. On Wednesday
evening they entertained the few
friends they made in Honolulu to
dinner such as the Hawaiian
Hotel can put up, when q very
pleasant evening was spent. Your
correspondent views the tourist
travel as one of the chief sources
of income to this country in the
near future and every effort should
be made to encourage it and make
people coming here under similar
circumstances to the above feel
that there are good, warm-hearted,
hospita BILE people living here and
that it is pleasant place to come
to in every sense Of the word. 1
venture to say that if ever party
of teachers from Honolulu have
the good fortune to visit Victoria,
B. c., especially if they are ladies
and alone, they will not find any
clam shell exclusiveness there,
but lots of good baked CLANS and
q warm welcome to as pleasant
and refined homes as there are to
be found in Honolulu, and first to
receive them and give them well
come will be Miss Cameron and
her friends who recently visited
the Paradise of the Pacific.
