the Pail and I have no words to ex-
press my admiration of the beautiful
scenery along the road and the gran
deur of that precipice, with its wonder
full mountain peaks to the left and. the
rugged bluffs to the right It was the
most beautiful drive l have had the
good fortune to take, and I do not an
ticipate ever finding anything to sur
pass it. The view outward from the
mountains, returning, is marvellously
beautiful. Nowhere in the wide world
could there be more perfect scene; the
sea is like nothing I have ever seen
with it's smooth sparkling surface and
its wreath of white foam where the
water breaks over the coral reef 1t

in thousand years express my appre-
citation of the beauties of the trip. The

come and see for themselves, as l could
not attempt to describe the marvels
that nature has wrought out here in
the middle of the Pacific. / have trav-
eled from the rock-bound coast of
Maine to the gIittering sands of Cali

north to the mouth of the Father of

thing like this. Even the magnolia
gardens of the South, with their trop-
ical charm, cannot be compared to Ha-

Il have seen many pictures of Ha-
wall, touched in color; / had supposed
the coloring overdone for l could not
believe that the reality actually ex-
listed. / did not suppose for moment

Yes, we are the couple that got
married last night and the romantic
story of our courtship on the way here

transport was pulling out We are both
as happy as bugs in a rug. We wouldn't
mind putting in our three years for
Uncle Sam right here. We are not go
ing to leave until Saturday morning,
and we are very much pleased about
it, for Honolulu is delightful place for
a honeymoon. 1t will linger in our
memories when we are both old and
