many factors making for the rapid
growth Of the capital Of these blessed
isles


So the malihini is prone to wonder
what the Honolulu of 20 or 80 years
hence may be like. Out to the north
there Is a large area suitable for
what we know as suburban devel-
opment. But nobody seems particu-
larly anxious about going out that
way, far from the seashore and the
hills-far in relative Hawaiian terms.
Just now it is rather a ragged re-
gion. shops and small farming
patches and clusters of nondescript
houses. The "realtor," however, is
as keen here for business as in the
States-I should say the mainland,
for a reason which I will develop
later-and there are some large de-
velopment signs to be noted, lures
for the installment buyer and build
er. Maybe it is in that direction
that the new Honolulu will develop
as the half-million point, about
which mention is already heard, is
approached.
But, big city or small, nothing
can spoil Honolulu's charm in its
present setting. 1t takes but few
minutes to get from the center of
the business district by bus or
trolley car-including an odd hybrid
OF a trolley-bus type-to Waikiki
Beach, which is having its own
business boom, sad to say. Where a
few years ago-I saw it in 1929 on
my way out to Japan and China
Waikiki Beach was a region of de-
lightful isolation from business dis
flgurement, now 1t is thick with

rest of the world to see and admire
them. That is why they hang leis,
or floral wreaths, about the necks of
the tourists and their own island
brethren who are returning from
visits to the mainland. The lei sig
nifieS Joy in reunion and welcome for
the flrst-comer-the malihini. Once
enwreathed with his first lei, the
malihini is accepted as a Hawaiian,
for the time being.
Owing to the fortunate circum-
stances of my visit to the islands,
was heavily bedecked with leis and
Mrs. Lyon was also almost smoth-
cred with fragrant wreaths. We
felt conspicuous for a few minutes
and then became aware that virtual
ly all of our fellow passengers were
similarly adorned. But when a re-
porter'S candid camera was aimed at
our flower -wreathed faces we felt
that being malihini had its embar-
rassments.
Discomforts Trifling.
To be true malihini in Hawaii
and I doubt if any other land has
such nice word for stranger
one must be ready to accept the
islands as they are, with some dis
comforts, even as our own cities have
their discomforts, and without the
delightful aspects of Honolulu. So
trif1ing are these, to be quite can
did, that I cannot at this present
moment of writing enumerate them.
One OF them may perhaps be the
tendency of the terrain toward the
perpendicular, due to the mountains
girdling the city on three sides COM
ing close into the urban area, or
rather the urban area spreading
into the hills, which is the fairer
way Of putting the matter.
For Honolulu is not on the level,
geographically and physically, what
ever may be the public morale, So
cial or political. True, there is
shelf along the bay that ends in the
well-knowni Waikiki Beach, where
the surf-riders disport themselves,
upon which there are some fairly
long stretches of level land. But turn
aside from this trip to enter the resi-
dental section and the streets begin
to climb and presently they become
steep ascents until, under the brow
OF Punchbowl Hill and other and
higher eminences, they are veritable
ladders. One of these, appropriately
named "Wilhelmina Rise" ascends to
a height of about 1000 feet in the
course of some 5000 feet.
Honolulu is not a symmetrical
city. 1t has had topsy-like growth,
from very small beginnings to the
present population of nearly 10000.
1t is still growing, and the Homo
lulans are proud of their progress.
Uncle Sam has taken over large
areas to the west of town for mill
tary and naval purposes and has
likewise girt the flanks of the big hill
that Is world famed as Diamond
Head" and turned them into a mill
tary reservation, immune from tres
pass. Some day there will be a con-
gestlon problem here, as in other
cities. And that day may come sooner
than In some of the mainland CEN
ters OF population, for there are

stores and cinemas and quick lunch
stalls and parking lots.
I speak Of Waikiki Beach as q
region, q thoroughfare, rather than
as q stretch of ocean frontage.
Happily, the beach itself, the strand,
Is still immune from spoliating en-
terprises. The surf boards are yet
to be seen as the rollers send them
shoreward, and the war canoes con-
tinue to bring slightly clad parties
to the surf lines with shrill squeal-
ings. Waikiki itself can be changed
only II and when the Pacific de-
termines to blast 1t with some tre-
mendous ons.aught of overwhelming
surges.
Native Modern in Demands.
The malihini is not wholly to be
blamed for such changes as have
occurred in Honolulu during the last
decade. There Is a native demand
for strictly modern amusements and
for glittering hot-dog stands and
miniature golf courses, just as there
is an alien demand for a style of
costuming that is neither Hawaiian
nor becoming. In fact, the trend at
present on the part of the malihini
seems to be toward the extremely
primitive in the matter of garb. In
both of the two large beach hotels
are signs politely but firmly request
ing guests to wear enveloping robes
around bathing costumes" while
passing through the public halls.
Compliance with these requests does
not seem to be altogether unanimous
in spirit, for what with a scarcity
of hooks and eyes or buttons or
belts, these camouflages seem to be
more revealing than concealing.
However, one remembers that this
is Hawaii and only a few genera
tions from the first Mother Hub
bard" that the well-meaning mis-
sionaries introduced as a step to-
ward civilization.
I hope to learn soon from some
unquestionable authority just when
a malihini ceases to be malihini
and becomes an islander. Perhaps
I will myself be permitted to remain
here long enough to graduate thus
into the category of an Hawaiian
by adoption.
