when |. got there |
found that all the
beautiful maidens
had left for Ameri-
ca to go into the
cabaret business.
Waikiki was packed
with maids all right,
but they were all
from Iowa. If by
chance some native
maid who had had to
stay at home pas
sed along the beach
there would be such
a rush in her direc-
ton and such a

would say, would have been gladdened
by the sight of these same simple chill
dren stringing down the aisle, one clad
in a shirt, another in coat and third
iauntily striding along in a cuff.
But those days are gone. The men are
now given to bib overalls and sport col
lars and go to church only when there is
an ice cream supper. The women no long
err affect the sweet. simple beads tnat
are so appealing to out-of-town people,
but go in for the loose fitting nightgown.
THE AUTHORS SHATTERED
DREAMS OF MONKEYS AND
OTHER TROPIC TRIPLES
had looked forward to the tropical
wildness of the islands, eager to revel
ir the Western fastness, expecting to see
monkeys chattering in the tops of the
cocoanut palms as the great ship pushed
up to the docks, thinking how nice it
would be to pause on the way to the
hotel and have a simian throw down
cocoanut to me, but l found there was
not monkey on the five islands. They
won't land them. Even the best regu-
lated circuses can't get ashore with their
trained animals. The authorities are
not going to take any chances of the
animals spreading disease, and even if
they did have monkeys in Hawaii they
would not be used for throwing down
cocoanuts. Cocoanuts are not gathered
that way. 1t has been found by cocoa
nut growers that boys don't throw down
the nuts with such fatal accuracy.

Coincidentally and at the same time
clothing became the rage with men,
Generation after generation of men had
gone along in the even tenor of their

mole skin, looking every man in the eye
and knowing not shame, when the mis-
sionaries passed (out some clothes, ana
Immediately the men began, if they
didn't have on a shirt or something, to
feel i'll at ease. But there weren't enough
clothes-not enough to go around. so
the suits were divided up among the
simple children of the soil, who consid-
cred themselves unfit to mingle in mixed
society unless they had something on.

would attend services unless he consid-
cred himself properly attired for the oc-

tunes that the director has provided for
them, climb into the directors Packard
and ride down to the beach, where the
property man has put up couple OF
grass huts, and begin to do their hula
hula at three dollars an hour.
When the globe Of golden glow has
sunk into the west and the camera man
calls out lights off," the three girls
climb into their car and motor back to
town with the breezes tanning their
cold creamed temples, happy and at
peace with the world. After the theatre
that night they go out with party to
a lobster supper, trip the terpsichorean
toe to an orchestra of the class Of IT
getting to leave for the Eastern front
vaudeville trenches, then motor home
to catch some sleep before time to re-
port at the studio.
THERE IS NOTHING SIMPLE OR
PRIMITIVE ABOUT THE
WAIKIKI HOTELS
Waikiki Beach, the Coney Island Of
Hawaii, is five cents out from Honolulu,
and is a body of sand surrounded by
hotels. And it may be remarked in
passing that these same hotels are not
in the business for their health. After
you have put up at one of them for a
couple of weeks you will find that if they
have ever been indisposed at any time
they have fully and completely re-
covered. The only trace of illness you
will be able to find will be slight head
ache on your own part when the bill
comes in.
The beach itself is given over to surf
board riding, than which nothing looks
easier and than which nothing gives one
more bruises. It's beautiful sight to
see the islanders come steaming in,
standing upright on plank about the
size of table leaf, with the spray smok-
ing around them; beautiful sight
until you try it and strange hands carry
you to the soft sands and you suddenly
find that the world is full of kindly
people and linen in long strips.

They have won victory over rival
native tribe and the head hunters are
out with their long spears in celebra-
ton of the event. The pig is ready to
be drowned, for the Kanakas always
drown their pig before roasting it, in
order to save the blood. The holy tapas
is spread on the ground and King Poi
poi to the left has his royal headdrcss
on, ready to give the word for the fcs-
tivities to proceed. The kings dress is
made of beautiful yellow feathers, only
one growing on the breast of bird--the
90 bird. This headdress has been used
by the Hawaiians for hundreds of years
and is still their royal robe. The Ha-
waiians are a peace loving people, but
when they must fight they sharpen their
long spears and fight to the death. A
great many men put out in outrigger
boats that clear, beautiful morning, but
only these forty came back. Little do
we know of the silent tragedies that are
going on in the shadow of the American
flag.

to the protective palm. The good ladies
of Boston, shocked at the paucity OF
palms, decided that they would manage
with fewer nightgowns and passed
theirs over to the simple children of nat
ure. Almost over night nightgowns
became the rage among the natives of
Honolulu to such an extent that no lady
who did not have one of her own could
ever hope to be social leader. 1t made
no difference how many beads she had
or how much henna she might put on
her fingernails; she was not accepted by
the people who count until she had a
nightgown of her own.
