LIFE IN HONOLULU.
from Mrs. E. W. X, Arlington.)
I have recently returned. from
Honolulu and will be happy to give
Mrs. H. B. M. of Arlington a few
suggestions in answer to her queries
on living there.
She will find all types of stores
and shops as we find here on the
mainland. Baby foods can be found
in any neighborhood grocery or super
market.
Clothing for the children and
parents alike may be purchased In
local department stores or in ma
tionally known chain stores. Prices
are slightly higher on most articles
In the Islands than they are here,
so 1t may pay her to stock up a bit
on clothes If she has space for
them in travelling.
Woolen suits, sweaters, a light
weight coat, and slacks are handy
for the voyage. There will be little
need for them in Honolulu. Instead
she'll want loads of sun suits and
cool, sheer dresses as it's very warm
in the day time Though there's no
change in the climate to speak of,
the colors in clothing become darker
for the winter months as they do
here.
