A famous symbol Of friendship in
Hawaii Is the lei or garland OF
flowers. For centuries the people OF
the island expressed their regard for
one another by placing these gar
lands over the necks OF their beloved
and those whom they wished to
make their friends.
The numerous women who sell
these garlands and the yellow-paper
wreaths make bright spots OF color
along the pleasant streets OF Homo
lulu.

island for centuries before its dis

a picturesque carnival held in honor

Goddess OF Fire. This deity was
credited with tremendous destructive
powers and IL was to appease her

and today still give this elaborate
fete.

used by women between the ages of

10 talk about the application OF this
beautifying color.
I know any number OF women.
and modern women, too, who have

was introduced into the Identifying

coloring. So. after applying powder
by means OF channels, the rouge was
patted or rubbed owe the cheeks.
