fr do not Wonder people go wild over Hawaii.  

It is as if all the countries of the World had  

spilled their colors over one spot, and nature  

had sorted them out at her own sWeet Will.  

kept Wondering if had died and gone to  

heaven! AfarVelous palms and tropical plants,  

and all hanging in softly dreaming silence  

that Went to my. head like Wine. 33 —Frances  

Little in 'The Lady of the Decoration. 33

X^AWAII! The very name conjures up so  

much of romance, charm and beauty that there are  

few who have not felt longing to enjoy the wonders  

of this paradise of the Pacific. The splendor of this  

subtropical land grips the imagination and instils in  

the heart desire to see these rainbow islands.  

“See Naples and die,” long phrase on the lips of  

noted travelers, has been replaced with “See Hawaii  

and live forever.” Truly the search for the ultimate  

in climate, scenery and recreation ends when one  

reaches the Territory of Hawaii. Famed in song and  

story, no other land combines so many of nature's  

glories or offers such an endless variety of all-year*  

round outdoor pleasures.  

The scenery is unsurpassed, with volcano-born moun*  

tainsrisingabove great valleys covered with pineapple  

and sugar plantations. Stretches of rolling hills clothed  

in brilliant verdure give an atmosphere of peace and  

restfulness. On the windward coasts, towering cliffs,  

rising sheer out of the ocean, are washed unceasingly  

by the waters of the Pacific. Then there are the vol-  

 

canoes, seething and boiling, their awe-inspiring gran*  

deur making mortals seem insignificant indeed.  

Life in Hawaii with its climate of eternal springtime  

offers all the joys of the outdoors every day in the  

year. Brilliant sunshine, clear, blue skies, and air term  

pered by the gentle, refreshing trade winds, enable  

one to rest contentedly beneath shady palm trees or  

indulge in active sport in azure warm waters which  

wash the splendid beaches. Surfboard riding, invig-  

orating and thrilling, or letting the breakers dash you  

shoreward safely in big outrigger canoes, and swim*  

ming, are sports enjoyed daily by visitors. Health in  

abundance and vigor unlimited are quickly gained by  

tired city dwellers who cast all care aside and enter  

whole-heartedly into the outdoor life of the islands.
