WDlPENOftlT 5TAK-NEWS Sunder, Ocl, 15, 1959 JUST IIS THE FAMILY Voyage Ncars End, Hatvaii Lies Ahead -Virginia Kay- HA1VA1IAN I1IABY 19SS. S.S. LUnUNE "THIS is the life." It was Clara Sanderson who said it with a deep intake ot breath as if smelling all the flowers of Hawaii. Actually we were at breakfast. "All this pampering, and marvelous food, arid gorgeous surroundings shouldn't have to end," she added on a wistful noie.

We all feel the.same way as our voyage draws close to the end--even those of us who adore every inch we know of Hawaii, every trade wind that softly, across its mountains a valleys, every sound that speaks to us of the Islands. Even we want more of these lovely days at sea. Besides, Hawaii is with us here on board. There is Al, the cruise director and i of our hula classes. At is a graduate the University of Hawaii, brimming over with personality, good humor and the spirit of fun which is so integral a part of the true Hawaiian nature.

Lessons are broken up by merriment, but if we don't learn how to sway as Islanders do with the rhythm of "The Hu- kilau" it won't be Al's fault. Al Pelyo was the first "king" chosen for Aloha Week and what a Kame- hamehR he must have been, for surely he 5s built from the TOTti-iTj Hawaiian rsD- tSaefs cii is alio the Ha- waSsn ei. of musicians which entertains us nightly. Not even the Islands have I encountered entertainers quite like them. Danny Ku, Joe Kealoha, and Alexander Puha manage to slide from mood music--Hawaiian style --to clowning effects with voice and instruments, all with split second but spontaneous timing.

They are gracious with requests, but I never need ask for "peyond The smiles and twinkling eyes they slide into it at least once during a program.

There seems to be several wanting the same thing, so no one need be alone--yet nothing is demanded, nor arbitrarily planned during those carefree days.

a breakfast when Margaret Youngblood remarked, "Oh how wonderful it is to be with a group that is so pleasant and congenial." I'm afraid that someone else on board is thinking the same thing, but wistfully. Addie Carr received a note from a Pasadena resident aboard asking if she and Virginia Kay would not join her for cocktails. "You look as if your group is having so much fun and I am lonesome," she wrote. I am ashamed to say that so far we have been unable to make contact. It has been delightful to meet other San Gabriel Valley residents--and column readers--on board.

Attractive Mrs. Hugo Corradini of San Marino introduced herself one evening. She and her husband are also heading first for the Surf Rider in Waikiki before touring the outer Islands, so our paths will undoubtedly cross. Third night out has been something to mark on our dairies with spangles. It was The Commodore's Dinner, a gourmet menu, the handsome dining room as gay as New Year's Eve, men in white dinner jackets arid beautifully dressed women.

To say nothing of our Hawaiian trio to serenade us at the tables. One group wonders if anything can top this evening. They won't have long to wait now for their answer.

P. Coke's Pasadena foothill Mrs. E. P. Coke's two main interests these days are travel and her garden, which explains, she said, why she is so pleased with her foothill home.

"It's so easy to take care of I don't have-to think about it at all. The household chores do themselves." Architect Arthur Swab, AIA, gets the credit for designing the carefree foothill home, but the garden with its more than 500 varieties of succulents is largely Mrs. Coke's doing with the part-time aid of a Japanese gardener. Interspersed with many rare cacti in the sunniest areas, Mrs. Coke's garden has been acclaimed as probably the finest private display in this section and more complete than many of the commercial ones.

The exotic plants are a mass of brilliant color during their blooming seasons. Other than the fact that the easy-care house allows her to spend most of her time outside, Mrs. Coke delights in the view it provides to her garden areas when she is indoors; Her shade garden, presided over by a giant oak, home. The owner, who lives alone, delights in the, easy care provided by the outdoor-living residence designed by Architect Arthur Swab, AIA. comes into one living area through a sliding glass wall; her sun garden into another through doors and windows of glass.

From her kitchen, Mrs. Coke can look out in every direction, enjoying the growing things and the color. "It's a.wonderfully planned house," she declared. "I know it could quite easily serve a small family, but for myself alone it's ideal, too." Because she lives alone, Mrs. Coke changed the names of the indoor areas to suit her whims and her usage.

The formal living section is her night time room, with television, radio, and books; the family room is her day 'time room, convenient to kitchen and sun garden where she takes many of her suppers on a tray to enjoy a native yucca in bloom. Architect Swab's plan provided for a spacious street parking area, screened from view by existing trees and planting. A two-car port opens to the shade terrace by a garden gate, provides a glimpse of the giant oak above and below the roof line. The interior follows the sloping lot on two levels, with only the entry, living room and adjoining shade terrace occupying the lower section. A guest bedroom and bath and Mrs.

Coke's own bedroom suite are directly accessible from the entry, three steps up. Family room, kitchen and service area complete the higher section. The living and family areas may be closed off by a broad shuttered doorway above three wide steps. Inside, Mrs. Coke lives with her familiar family furniture.

"These things are like old friends," she explained. "We're used to each'other." FORMAL AND FAMIIY rooms are placed on separate levels, following the slope of the foothill site. Both provide glass wall views of the gardens. From her kitchen, the home owner can look out in every direction, enjoying gardens where she prefers to spend most of her time. A GIANT epiphilleum climbs 30 feet to entwine itself among the branches of Ihe 'oak presiding over the shade garden outside Mrs.
