wishes.

friends and relatives living in Honolulu
and Hilo called and gave her messages
to deliver upon her return.
After the callers and photographers
had left she chatted for an hour as she
reclined upon a bamboo couch heaped
with pillows covered with American and
Hawaiian flags.

prettier. The streets here are so wide
and the houses so handsome and large.

where the reception was held is the
finest place ever saw
