American Hearts Fired by Tale OF
Beautiful Hawaiian Heiresses.
Some of the Communications Re-
ceived by Honolulu Represen-
tative at the Psn-American
Exposition.

MISS Rose I. Dawson has returned
from Buffalo where she represented
Hawaii as commissioner at the Pan
American fair. While she was in Chi
cago. a newspaper made her say that
the Hawaiian girls were all beautiful
and he.resses and just waiting for
American youths to ask them to mar
ry. Miss Dawson denied the interview,
says a Honolulu report in the New
York Sun, but it brought her n flood
of letters from American youths. Here
are some samples of her correspon-
dence:
"As | see by the papers that you are
representing the Hawaiian island peo-
pie at the Pan-American exposition at
Buffalo and seem to put much stress
upon the golden opportunities which
are afforded to Americans to gain for
tune besides a beautiful woman. take
upon myself the liberty OF addressing
you a short epistle concerning the
climatic conditions of the islands, and
also the advantages offered one with
out means. II / am not %intruding upon
your good nature too much | would be
pleased to have n response from you
upon this subject and also the cost Of
transportation. If I can secure the
proper information which would war
rant one in going there, | would have
no hesitancy in doing so. Are the peo-
pie of the, islands conversant in the
English language and do they mix
readily with the American 2eople?"
"As you will see from the letterhead,
l am dentist and would like, if posi-
BILE, to locate in a climate milder than
this. | would be greatly obliged to you
if you would tell me whether or not
you consider it probable that would
find a favorable opening for one of my
profession in the Hawaiian islands. l

uate of a frst-class dental college Cthe

81 and a friend Of mine would like to
become acquainted with some of those

wife"
"Be good enough to let me know how
much truth there may be in the state
ments. as my experience, covering the
last six years, has convinced me that g
young man of my age (26) might dc
considerable worse than to select f;
