Hawaiia^i Village.

valley of Kalalau on the island of Kanai. Remote and difficult af access, it remained 

 uncontaminated by foreign fashions until a few years ago when the attradlions of city 

 life drew its few remaining inhabitants to Honolulu, and the frail houses fast perished. 

 It perished, however, a true and unchanged Hawaiian village whose kind will never 

 again be seen in the valleys of these islands. Let us now study these departed houses 

 of the old Hawaiian, gathering from those who saw and described them in the earlier 

 part of the last centurj- what they can tell us and filling out the account as well as 

 may be with the results of personal observation.
