	Haleiwa, a beauty spot within easy reach of Honolulu by rail or motor. Here Nature has made a wonderful combina- tion of tropical growth and beautiful water effects. Bathing, boating and golfing are pleasures indulged in by visitors to this charming beach resort. Waialua, the district in which Haleiwa is located, has always furnished inspira- tion to the song writers of the Islands and all of the compositions tell of the incom- parable charms of landscape as well as seascape.		The Hawaiian people are noted for their hospitality, generosity and exceedingly happy nature. They love the beautiful in Nature and both young and old take de- light in weaving leis (wreaths) with which to adorn themselves. This custom of the natives has appealed to the stranger (ma. lihini) and today leis are worn by all, par- ticularly on what is known as "steamer days.'* The poet Lowell has asked this famous question--" What is so rare as a day in June?" The answer is —"A moonlight night in Hawaii with the night-blooming cereus in bloom." The picture below is only a tiny portion of a hedge that is longer than four city blocks. These perfectly superb flowers open in the early part of the evening and close with the rising of the morrow's sun.
