MY impression of Honolulu has been
a surprise to me. You are up 10 date
with any city of the United Staees with
regard to progress. Your business men
are bright, sharp and quick; they put
you in mind of New Workers.. Citizens
are courteous and kind. They will go
out of their way for blocks to show
stranger what he is looking for. The
scenery can't be surpassed in any conn-
try I have ever visited. If I live I am

beautiful surroundings. Your mountains.

Except for the mosquitoes, I am de-
lighted with everything: but the hospi-
tality of these insects is altogether toe
pronounced. Why don't you import frogs
to eat them? I am pleased with the
little Hawaiian children; they are just
the cutest things I have ever seem
