In an incredibly short time these (the Howers) were hanging about the necks of the passengers. 'Then the Royal Hawaiian Band broke loose-=but 'why go on? We all know the symptoms ot a dynamo in action. Suffice it to say that, among a lot of other divertisements and advertise- ments, the H. P. C, engineered a Ha- wanan musical at the opera house, with reserved seats down front for gentlemen passengers traveling alone. A glee club of native young men sang Hawaiian songs for an hour and picked sundry tuneful selections from the strings of guitars and baby guitars Then came the real show--the "hula" dance, To have visited Honolulu and come away without seeing the performance that has made the islands famous-- that would have been a misfortune. So reasoned the passengers, and so had reasoned the H, P. C. But when the Committee of Joyful Yells let it be known in Honolulu that a "hula" was scheduled, another crowd of strong] lwgers was heard from. "The 'hula' is all right in its place," spid the meg- aphone, "but its place is m some low dive at the end of a dark alley! The H. P. C., somewhat experienced with the mental processes of the world- tourist, decided that this fact, if true, would be only another reason why some "z 2 $ there was a suspicion that the police were also on the job, In the phrase- ology of the s« ty reporter, the dancers were simply and attractively gowned. They wore short green skirts covered over with green fbre, hril- lHantly red waists festooned with wreaths of yellow flowers, and their own hair. Their feet and ankles were bare--at least, this is the substance of the report of the gentlemen who oceu- pied the front seats, The "hula" damec--according to Dr. Emersan, a distinguished gentleman of Honolulu who has collected all the varieties--is a religious performance with infinite variation. We saw only one variety, but could guess the rest. It is far ahead of the Cairo perform ances, for the Egyptian dance is a salo and has no rhythm. It if superior to the nautch and the Cingalese dances, because there is no listlessness in the Hawaiian movements. And, partly for the same reason, it has the geisha beat a mile. The nearest thing to it is the Cairo dance, however. But while the Egyptian stands still in her tracks, the "hula" Tiel is circling about the stage and swaying in perfect time--perhaps chanting at the same time. After it was all over, the front row pronounced the dance "all right!" But no one, so far as the investigation has yet gone, agrees with Dr. Emer- son that the "hula" is essentially a dance to express or to arouse religious emotions, . Was.
