Hawaii

Conditions in these beautiful Islands either for a short stay, or for home-building, are the very best.

The mountains and valleys afford outings such as never will be forgotten, while there is no such sea-bathing the world over as may be enjoyed at Waikiki, Hanalei and Hilo.

Then there are special features, any one of which is well worth journeying around the world to see.

The Volcano of Kilauea

The Crater of Haleakala

Iao Valley

The Pali

Waimea Canyon, etc.,

and, withal, the cost of living in Hawaii is most reasonable; there are a number of excellent hotels and the best of boarding and rooming houses.

Hawaii



NO alien land in all the world has any deep, strong charm for me but that one; no other land could so longingly and beseechingly haunt me sleeping and waking, through half a lifetime, as that one has done. Other things leave me, but it abides; other things change, but it remains the same. For me its balmy airs are always blowing, its summer seas flashing in the sun; the pulsing of its surf-beat is in my ear; I can see its garlanded craigs, its leaping cascades, its plumy palms drowsing by the shore; its remote summits floating like islands above the cloud-rack; I can feel the spirit of its woodland solitudes; I can hear the plash of its brooks; in my nostrils still lives the breat of flowers that perished twenty years ago.
