Went out to the Country Club this morning—Jack has a card there—and played golf. The building is beautiful and just suited to the surroundings, and that is saying a good deal. The course is excellent and we both scored very well.

Took our cameras and went to Moanalua this afternoon. The entire grounds are exquisitely laid out and the Japanese tea garden is a delight. At four we went to the Chinese teahouse, where, it being Saturday, the owner of the estate was serving tea and good cheer to all who came—friend or stranger—with cordial hospitality. Jack learned a lot from him about the Islands as they used to be; and then we went through the curious grass houses which constitute a museum of things Hawaiian. There is a fine polo field, too, and Jack is wild to be here when polo games are on.

Went to the Chinese theater this evening. I never had so many interesting experiences so close together in all my life before.
