ever source of interest. The blazing
wealth of the Poinciana Regia trees
the Golden Shower blossoms, tn
hibiscus hedges, and trees laden witt
beautiful mangoes called for constan
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 Wen'
into ecstasies over the wonderful
scenery displayed in the panorama be-
low them. The city Of Honolulu lay
there in it's varied colors and the sea
beyond. with it's ever-changing hues
drew every eye.
The winding road, the excellence OF
the thoroughfare. the border of trees
and ferns and greeneSt of grass was
thought to be a wonderful showing OF
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 "Ohsv' and How Won
derful." and would you believe it,"
were heard from all sides. Miss RoOse-
Welt strobe over to the rail which mark
ed the beginning of the 100O-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
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
We're charmed at the sight of the
green fields stretching far away into
the distance and the border of foamy
sea, and many inquired whether 1T
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
ciety and others, had their machines
pointed. Mcintosh, in a voice of au-
thority, grouped the people as he wish
ed, and that was in an artistic manner,
and then ''shet'' them. 1t was click,
click, click. Miss Roosevelt was
naturally, with Secretary Taft, the
center if interest for the cameras, and
ToTn 70
American princess was the principal
figure in all pictures taken. With the
great peaks of the pail towering in the
background, the distinguished Amer
leans were photographed, and in time
all America will view the results, and
Hawaii will be SO much the gamer.
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 a President, who
holds the attention of the world, and
is one of the foremost figures in the
shaping Of it's 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 a straw hat adorned with
purple bird plumage and white Suede
shoes, she was a 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 all times was gracious and
tactful Miss Roosevelt is a pretty
girl. She has many of the character
istlcs of her strenuous daddy" And
those who had the opportunity of see
ing the Presidents daughter will I'M
doubtedly remember her as one well
fitted to be the daughter of such a
man.
And it is safe to say that although
Nicholas Longworth of Indiana is said
to be her accepted sutton, Miss Roose-
welt did not let that matter interfere
