CLUBDOM
MEMPHIANS IN HAWAII
Enjoy NOVEL EXPERIENCE.

A party of Memphians who spent
July in the Hawaiian islands enjoyed
two delightful experiences on the Fourth
of July, when they attended a native
feast and the celebration by several
hundred boys from the Naval academy
at Annapolis, among whom were many
Memphians, who were on their summer
cruise. The following description OF
the barbecue by Mrs. M. P. McVeigh,
member of the party, will be OF
much interest:
1.-THE Fourth of July, 1920. goes down
In our history as one of the greatest
days and surely the longest day ever
spent. 1t began on the third and lasted
until the sixth. The feature that makes
it the most interesting day, the great
est is the Hawaiian luau that We at
tended.
This luau is a native feast, the
nearest thing we have thereto being
the fashioned barbecue.
"To prepare for a luau deep pits
are dug in the ground, these are. lined
with ii leaves, which are abundant on
these islands. They are large and long,
beautiful rich green and very strong
and tough. They are also used by the
Hawaiians as barrage to their fishing
nets, they drag behind the big net and
literally sweep the fish into it. But
l am to tell of the luau and not of
the hukalau, as the fishing is called.
Then great stones are placed on top
of these leaves and fire built Mean
while number of choice fat pigs have
been properly prepared for cooking,
and when the stones have been thor
oughly heated they are placed inside the
pig. the whole thing wrapped in ii
leaves, placed in the hot pit, with hot
stones completely surrounding 1t, then
covered with earth, and left in this
primitive fireless cooker for several
hours. When it is taken out, it is
thoroughly cooked, juicy. tender and
brown. Delicious! And this is the
piece de resistance of a luau, unless
you are to ''the manor born" then the
piece de resistance is dog. Imagine
your best collie cremated in this fashion.
But what is grosser than a hog, and
what is cutter than a spotted, curly
tailed pig? But / am not arguing for
dog eating-because we eat one unclean
animal is no reason why We should
eat another
I'VE departed from one native GUS
tom at this luau. by spreading the
feast on tables of spotless linen; in
the early days it was spread on the
grass. But we went back to the early
day and dispensed with knife, fork and
spoon.
Another native dish is poi Poi is
Hawaiian bread. 1t Is a thin mash,
made from the taro root, which re-
sembles our potato. That sounds in
nocent enough, but the taste. we gods!

than poi. If you'll taste the paste the

gers like a native. We couldn't do 1t,
so we looked down the line and every
body was doin' it. The index and mid
die fingers are pressed closely together
and curved bit to initiate spoon
bowl, and into the poi they go. The
experts hold it and wave it a little
before taking it into the mouth. We
never did like this hand to mouth ex-
istence and like it less than ever now.

wooden plate and made a chopstick
spoon of it, and tried the poi in this
way, but, ugh! tiny bit was too much.
looked at Nancy, and she had the
same feeling of it can't be did that l
had, still it had to be, SO right brave
ly she hit it with her trusty Faber
No. 2, her staff of life as she calls
it, and in that way she got taste.
The potato was fine, and served us for
bread, while the steamed pork was de-
licious we didn't eat the raw fish or
the seaweed, and unleashed the dog
with fear and trembling-inside was a
small piece of red salmon, which nib
bled and it wasn't bad. 1 passed the
other to the gentleman on my left, a
stalwart native son, and he did the rest.

The dessert was fine, so fine that we
obtained the recipe, and expect to make
II on the mainland, although 1t won't
be quite so delicious when the fresh,
ripe coconut can not be used.
I'VE enjoyed the picturesqueness OF
the feat. The tables were decorated
with vases OF roses. with rose petals
and vines scattered around and hanging
baskets OF lovely ferns. Many of the
men and women wore leis around their
necks or hats, and we are to have a

feathers (the Hawaiian colors),

all the cafes were crowded with these
trim fellows, all clean In white duck
suits, The contrast TO the luau crowd
was striking, and you bet pleasing.
They put on a terribly wild celebra-
ton, which was continued Monday, the
fifth, by the American Legion with a
grand military tournament at beautiful
Kapiolani park. and magnificent fire
works in the evening. The brilliant
flag on Fort Ruger, the fort which
