The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-10-01

On the beach at Waikiki
Meath big keawe tree,
1t is sweet to hear the voices of the
suffers having fun.
Will you let me take your hand
AS we lie upon the sand
And watch the crimson glory of the
setting of the sun?
Now the beach at Waikiki
Is as dark as it can be,
And the moon is softly rising on the
silver crested foam.
The silence is forlorn
For the bathers all have gone
And in motor cars and street cars they
are fast returning home.
On the beach at Waikiki
Is there any hope for me,
To build a little comfy and coy
bungalow?
Was it only just a guess
Or did you whisper "yes?"
1t will always now be summer, for
your lips have told me so.

There is a rather stubborn tendency
these days to ignore social indulgences
and their obligations, and in conse-
quence the conventional veil of pri-
vacy as been draped over all our cOun-
try homes with bits of intimate gossip
tucked firmly away on the other side
Through this comes an occasional
glimmer of intelligence, foretelling flu
ture disclosures, tales too languid fol
verification and what not.
With a sigh of relief the city at last
views the return into her midst of q
| few premature travellers, who are dar
ing the late summer so far as to ven
ture back and open their town house:
and who will be emulated in the neal
future by others who will repeat the
reluctant but obligatory act of receiv
ing, and whose regret at returning tt
formal life once more will be initiated
by glances at their new gowns brought
from abroad to augment their dainty
wardrobes.
Is the hobble skirt coming to Homo
lulu?
One evening, when the Canadian
Australian steamer was in port, anc
numbers of tourists were fluttering
about from place to place, and inquir
ing about the movements of the
trans" peculiar ard awe inspiring
group moped along King street.
1t was composed of an elderly ma
tron and her two daughters, 'all IL
hobble skirts of an accumulated type
who meandered, if such a sliding, glid
ing word can describe their hippity
hoppity procession up and down Kint
street not knowing where to go.
At length, seeing the car stop a
Bishop street they made a bold dasl
for it, regardless of the bandage which
held in the hem of their skirts, ant
one girl fell helplessly into the arms
of a japanese who, in his kimona wal
shuffling across the street.
Without a word of acknowledgment
the victim of the embarrassing acciden
righted herself, and literally hoppe'
over to the car, to the intense curio
sity and amusement of the passengers
The Japanese looked after her will
broad facial grin.
High" he muttered derisively, "ge
more like Japanese wahine everyday
Only not so polite"
Verify let us abandon all hopes OF
