Under the guidance Of +. Q. Weber,
fifteen California school teachers who

young and pretty are stopping at the
Royal Hawaiian Hotel having return
ed yesterday from trip to Maui
They report a fine trip and a most
delightful time. The trip 10 Maui was
made especially To enable the party to
see Haleakala, and they say they found
a sufficient variety Of interests to keep
them busy every moment. BY sailing
time they were, all so busy that the
steamer Clandine nearly got away with.
out them. The captain whistled sew
eral times for all aboard, but they had
gotten TO that. frame of mind where
they didn I care whether they got left
or not, they said. At the last moment,
however, they were taken out on a
lighter, and put aboard, just missing
having to climb ladder up the ship s
side. A couple Of the young women
professed themselves as entirely will
ing TO have boarded by, the ladder route
had II been necessary Evidently these
young women are very much alive and
capable Americans who by reason Of
having to make their own way In the
world feel equal to any situation.
Those who were interviewed expressed
themselves as having enjoyed their
vacation trip TO the utmost. Everything
they saw proved Of interest. One thing
that surprised them most, they said
was the small number Of Americans in
business In Honolulu, and the fact that
the population consisted so largely OF
other nationalities. a t.s,. 3
! They were all of one opinion IN
several matters. The scenery was uI
TO all their expectations, every place
they have been. Some Of the young
women were enthusiastic over tbs
beaches, and stated that Waikiki could
not be excelled, and was all they, hat
hoped for. They went wading at Maui
and surfboard riding al Waikiki, anS
are going TO try il again today
They have tried most of the native
articles of food, but have not yet cul
tivated taste for poi. Alligator pear
were considered good enough for a no
velty, while papaias and bananas founl
first favor, with mangoes running see

The trip around Oahu by automobil,
was especially interesting to all mem
bers of the party. They familiarize;
themselves with the pineapple industr,
by taking in the pineapple field a-orn'
Wahiawa and going through the Lack
ing plant at LibbyVille.
They say they are most impresseI
with the hospitality with which the,
were received everywhere in the Island
and with the fact that the people liy
50 largely outdoors the year round
They had been advised that it wa
rather too warm in Honolulu for an en-
joyable visit during the summer months
but are satisfied that this impression
was erroneous. They had only felt IN
comfortably warm on one day.
The Misses Weber and Keech are o
the opinion that the custom of havinl
a band meet vessels upon their arriva
and the manner in which they ar
given aloha when they depart was tn
most beautiful custom they have eve
known. Members Of the party hav
made it a point to be at the dock sew
eIal times when vessels were leaving
and they say they felt sad because the
lwere not leaving under such, pleasin
circumstances, and happy that the
could stay and witness it again. y
i The party leaves tomorrow on tn
Manoa, and they don 7 care hoy
many people know about it, becaus
the better send-off they. get the NOR
they are going to enjoy it. This part
has taken a most intelligent and Apr,
ciatiye interest in everything concerne
with the Islands, and they say the
will ali be boosters when they leave
They say they will get together on tn
return trip, compare, notes and trevieN
the events Of the visit, and try and al
range a story OF what a good time the
actually had, so that their friends wi
believe them. inE .& I,g, ...g
