CUSTOM
Your ship docks in Honolulu and a pretty mald of Hawait places a lei (garland of flowers) around your neck. It's an old Hawaiius autom. The natives of Hawaii are far-famed for their natural musical ability, their happy sport-loving dispositions, and their sincere hospitality. As a visitor to the Paradise of the Pacific, you will learn the warmth of Aloka. 1jOn moonlight nights the haunting melodies of native serenaders will make you want to "stay a little long- or." You'll thrill at the native aporta and pageants, and all the time you'll be enjoying twentieth century com forts. Laun feasting, graceful hula dancing, hulilant fshing parties-all are as typically Hlewalian as sunshine and ralphaws aug, cool trade winds, Your local ticket bice or steamablp company will show you how to plan your trip to America over the balmy sunshine route with a stop-over .(your- ticket costa no more) at the Hawalian Islands-Kauai, Maul, Oahu and Hawall From Honolulu you' can go. direct to Vancouver, Portland, and Seattle, Ban Francisco or Los Angeles, on steamers of the N.Y.K., Dollar, Canadian-Australasian, Matson
