THE NEW HAWAIIAN GIRL



EXPLANATORY

Kamehameha First, of the Hawaiian Islands, conquered his foes in a
great battle, driving them over the high mountain peak known as Pali-
-one of the famous scenic views of the world, and the goal of all
visitors in Honolulu.

The Hula (pronounced hoola) was the national muscle and abdominal
dance of Hawaii, and the late King Kalakua was its enthusiastic
patron. The costume of the dancers was composed chiefly of skirts of
grass. The Hula (so attired) is now forbidden by law. The Hula Kui
is a modification of the dance and exceedingly graceful.

Many charming young self-supporting woman in Honolulu trace their
ancestry back to Kamehameha with great pride. The chant is a weird
sing-song which relates the conquests of the race.

It is the custom in Honolulu to present guests at feasts and
festivals, or departing visitors, with long wreaths of natural
flowers, and which are worn by men, as well as women, about the head,
hat, and neck. These wreaths, called lais (pronounced lays),
sometimes reach below the waist.

The flower-sellers are one of the national features of Honolulu.
