glossy, green leaves. Women, who
make them, sit along the streets in
Honolulu with baskets of flowers and
completed wreaths beside them; their
fingers busily engaged in weaving

of wearing these flowery adornments
that every native one meets has neck

dewy wreath. Time was, no doubt,
when these were all of their adorn.
