Dear Kulei: / hasten to begin this
letter where | start and tell you some
more of my experience.
A long time wait for this kind-lady
but she no been come. Little more
wait and then come PLENTY girls
big girls. little girls, fat girls, thin
girls, all kinds girls-and all go up
the big steps. Then think like go
up and | go. l climb up like Jack
and the Beanstalk" and come to q
big, grand room with many chairs and
tables and one long table where plen-
ty girls went with big dishes and
they gave good things to eat / walk
up to the lady who hand out the cake
and pie and tea with kind smile to
speak but everyone like speak to she
and so + wait. One girl, very fat. she
say, What / must eat to get more
thinner And the lady tell. The next
girl, she say, Il have a sick. What
must eat to get more fatter?" And
the lady tell. One more girl say,
What can buy for nice present for
an old lady who Is an invalid with
one dollar?' And the lady tell one
time more. Auwe! | think I could
never be one Y w. C.. A. lady cause
then would have to know all things
in the world, and no could so much.
Then | look and see the kind.lady
sitting by q table and run and tell
how much / appreshate, and feel
very satisfaction now and hope she
do the same. She make me much
nice talk and say she hope l have
very lovely vaccination. hope have
too but I have.
Then go again to get some lunch
and this time ! get but almost ]
didn't, One more lady was first and
she had one beyutiful black satin
dress. Everything she see she no
like and she growl the nice Y. w. C. A.
lady like anything because she no
like. Funny kind.
Then she say she will have some
tea and she like weak. The Y. w.
G. A. lady give and say sc IL you
pleeze," and the grand lady say, But
get weak tea. ! think more better
you charge half price" think don't
never like to be rich and wear black
satin dresses when / have to drink
weak tea, isn't It?
Then !, buy one lunch and have
some rice and gravy and some cake
and Ice cream and II cost Is cents
which think very cheap. When you
come to the island Of Honolulu, you
must not forget and eat the Y. W. C..
A. calftera too
