told many interesting stories of the
islanders in their belief in the fairies,
witches and COLLINS and the belief
prevalent among the people that the
fish could assume the shape Of NOR
tails gave rise to many weird and eX-
citing tales.
Miss Jennie Jahant gave a dra-
matte recital of a Hawaiian legend.
The story was delightfully."- told and
greatly enjoyed by the audience, Mrs.
Pearl SSackett Nunan accompanied by
Miss Jane D. Tanning, gave a group
of translated Hawaiian songs. Her
beautiful contraIto voice seemed par
ticularly fitted to the minor tones OF
the Hawaiian music. Mrs. tGeorge
Broadhurst closed the splendid pro-
gram with a clever paper comparing
the Hawaiian legends and myths with
the Bible stories and the Greek myths,
The Hawaiian belief of creation and
the first man are very similar to that
of the Bible story, and many other
legends compare with the Bible and
with the Greek myths. The legend
told by Miss Jahant compared favor
ably with the story of Eurydice and
Orpheus, the Greek myth. Mrs. Bread
hurst showed the comparison Of many
more of the legends and myths and
her paper showed that if it were one
language there would be very little
difference in the beliefs Of the peo-
pie
