moved UP Nuuanu street. The visitors
we're delighted with the odd scenes un-
folded along the route through Asiatio
Honolulu The kimono-clad japanese
women. with babies with tonsured
scalps strapped to their backs, were
ever a source OF interest. The blazing
wealth of the Poinciana Regia trees,
the Golden Shower blossoms, the
hibiscus hedges, and trees laden with
beautiful mangoes called for constant
remark. The drive up Nuuanu Valley
was a constant surprise to the visitors
The beautiful foliage. the tropical
looking residences, the varied national
ity, and above all, the climate, appeal
ed to the party. When Nuuanu Valley
proper was reached the visitors went
into ecstasies over the wonderful
scenery displayed in the panorama be-
low them. The city OF Honolulu lay
there in its varied colors and the sea
beyond with it's ever-changing hues,
drew every eye.
The winding road, the excellence or
the thoroughfare. the border of trees
and ferns and greenest of grass was
thought to be a wonderful showing or
Hawaii's landscape possibilities. The
story of Kamehameha's battle with
the Oahuans interested the guests, and
when at last the carriages delivered
/ their occupants on the Pail, their as
constituent was great.
A series of "Ohs!" and How Won
derfull" and Would you believe IT."
were heard from all sides. Miss Roose-
welt strode over to the rail which mark
ed the beginning of the 1000-foot preci-
pice and gazed in silence over the great
expanse of landscape which has been,
and was so pronounced yesterday, as
one of the most beautiful views in the
world. Secretary Taft, although he has
been here before, took, the same in
terest in the view as did the presi-
dents daughter. and called many of
the party to the rail to see some special
feature. Grave senators, represen-
tatives, military men and attaches
were charmed at the sight of the
green fields stretching far away into
the distance and the border of foamy
sea, and many inquired whether it
was really possible to find skulls and
bones of Kamehameha's defeated and
slain enemies at the foot of the preci-
pice.
Then came an ordeal. When the
guests turned about they gazed into
the yawning muZzles of what at first
seemed to be myriad of cameras. Burr
Mcintosh and Atherton Brownell, off,
cial photographers with the party, A.
Gartley of the local camera fiends' So

ALICE A FAVORITE
1t was then that people gained an
insight into the character of Miss
Roosevelt. There had been rumors that
Miss Roosevelt was a bit naughty All
those who saw her during the day said
she was just the opposite. and she was.
AS the daughter of President, who
/ holds the attention of the world, and
Is one of the foremost figures in the
I shaping of its affairs, she has a diff
cult role to fill. American people are
prone to worship those in the public
eye, and Miss Roosevelt, though she
occupies the position of the daughter
of a president of the mightiest nation
on earth, and is but the unofficial per-
sonage who bears his name, was as
simple and kindly and modest as a
girl of her years should be.
| Attired simply in a white linen
gown, with straw hat adorned with
| purple bird plumage and white Suede
| shoes, she was picture of the fresh
| bright, fearless and typical AMERICAN
| girl, full of spirits and the freedom
which comes with the education of her
| type, and at ali times was gracious and
tactful Miss Roosevelt is a pretty
girl. She has many of the character
/ istics of her Strenuous daddy" And
those who had the opportunity of see
ing the Presidents daughter will un-
doubtedly remember her as one we'll
fitted to be the daughter of such a
! man.
And 1t is safe to say that although
! Nicholas Longworth of Indiana is said
to be her accepted suitor, Miss Roose-
welt did not let that matter interfere
with her enjoyment of short day in
Honolulu. OF course. Acting Governor
: a. l.. C. Atkinson had the inside
course, officially, in winning Miss
Roosevelt's attention, but Mr.. Walter f.
Dillingham; had his social innings too,
for during the trip TO Honolulu Plan
tation, and in the automobile drive to
the Beach and the Aquarium Mr.. Dill
: lingham was the personal escort OF
Miss Roosevelt. Being Harvard
man, the college from which President
Roosevelt graduated, Mr.. Dillingham;
had double opportunity to pay court
to Miss Alice.
When the beautiful. view of the Koo-
lau side of oahu had been appreciated
to it's utmost the party returned to
