Hawaiian Custom of Adoption Of Chill
dren Has Been the Cause Of
Amusing Complications.

The very old custom of legal adop-
ton in the Hawaiian islands, which
originated when there were many
tribes often at war with one another,
was intended to bring peace among
them. The cause has long since dis
appeared, but the custom still persists.
When a child is spoken for" by some
relative or friend, the little baby, as
soon as it can leave it's own mother,
will be given to the foster mother, and
will be regarded as a sacred trust. A
Youths Companion contributor tells OF
one woman who was the mother of
eight children, seven of whom had
been adopted by friends. When she
was asked why she gave them away,
she replied sadly: ''1t is superstition,
know, but if they are asked for and
I refuse l fear some harm might come
to them" The poor soul let them go
just because she loved them so much
The custom leads to very amusing
complications. One of the native
princesses now living has given her
baby to her own mother. The little girl
is legally adopted, and therefore has
become the grandmother's daughter.
