ʻO keʻano o kaʻaʻahu, e like me keʻano o nā wāhine aliʻi, he lōʻihi ma hope a he pōkole i mua, he nui loa ka koi i kēia lā, akā he mau kaikamahine wale nō keʻike i ka mea i kapaʻia ai.

I kēia lā, nāʻaʻahu i loaʻa ka lālani pokole a me ka huelo lōʻihi ma hope, hiki iā ia ke paio me nā hiʻohiʻona nani i keʻano Helene. E kahaha auaneʻiʻoe, akā, he lono kahiko kēiaʻano, e hoʻi ana i ka hoʻomakaʻana o ke kenekulia XIX. ʻO kekahi kapa pōkole pokole me kahi lōʻihi lōʻihi i lawelaweʻia ma keʻano he loleʻaʻahu no nā mea hula i kaulana i ka cabaret wā. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo,ʻaʻole hiki ke kapaʻia ka inoa o kaʻaʻahu hōʻailona me ka maopopo. ʻO nā kaikamāhine mai ka cabaret i manaʻoʻia he naʻaupō loa a he makani, akā,ʻaʻohe kanaka, no ka mea,ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻomanawanui i ka nānāʻana i nā hula e'ā ai, kahi i paʻaʻole ai nā wāwae wahine. Iʻelua mau lā ma hope mai, ua hoʻololiʻia keʻano. I kēia lā,ʻo ka kūʻaiʻana i ka lole hōʻailona,ʻo ia ke lilo i mea nona ka lole nani, e hiki ai ke hōʻike i ka hopena o ka mea nona ka lole. Aʻoi aku ka nui - heʻaʻahu hoʻokipa kaulana loa, ka mea, e like me kouʻike, hoʻomaopopoʻia ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe wahine a me ka halaʻole. Akā,ʻo ka hapa o ka hapalua o ka lāhui kanaka i nā kaikamāhine i loko o ia mauʻaʻahu,ʻaʻole i kūpono. Hoʻomakaleʻa nā kānaka, e nānā ana i nā wāwae o nā wāhine e hālilo ana i nā waiwaha o ka wai.
Koho o keʻanoʻaʻahu
ʻO kaʻaʻahu makamae, kaʻike o nā kiʻi ma nā mekalakala kālai'āina, nā mea eʻoluʻolu ai, e hoʻomaʻemaʻe ai a me ka māmā. ʻO ia ke kumu o ka hanaʻana i kēia mau hiʻohiʻona, hoʻohanaʻia nā mea e holo ai ka lewa. ʻO nā lole o nā lole, marquiset, crepe-georgette, mōleka, silk, halepaku a crepe de China e nānā nui. Hoʻohui pinepineʻia iā lākou me nā pāpale pokole, me ka limaʻole a me keʻano poʻo. Manaʻo nā haumāna e loaʻa nā hiʻohiʻona palekana no nā kaikamāhine a pau,ʻoiai e hōʻike ana lākou i ko lākou poʻohiwi, nā lima a me nā wāwae,ʻoiai e hoʻomoe ana i nā hiʻukū, nā kīkoʻo a me nā pū'ī. Hiki keʻokoʻa ka lōʻihi o ka lole ma mua o kaʻaʻahu kepau - mai nā'ōiwi a me nā kuli, akā, ma hope o ke kaʻa eʻole e hiki i kahi papa. Akā, hiki ke hoʻolālāʻia kēia kulekele ināʻoe eʻimi nei i kahi lole nani no ka mareʻana, kahi pā kula a ma kekahi hālāwai nui nui. Hāʻawiʻia kaʻaʻahu kālepa i ka manawa e komo ai i kahi kapaʻaʻahu ahiahi lōʻihi a hōʻike i ka hanohano o kona kiʻi.
No ke kohoʻana i kahiʻaʻahu meka, e ponoʻoe e hahai i kekahi mau rula, aʻo ka mālamaʻana i ka mea e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ai i kahi koho maikaʻi. Inā lōʻihi ke kaikamahine, hiki i ka lā mua o kaʻaʻahu ke lōʻihi, akā naʻe, koho nā kaikamāhine'ōpio i kēlā mau hiʻohiʻona i mua o ka manawa pōkole. ʻO ka meaʻoiaʻiʻo,ʻo keʻano "hoʻopihapikipiki" ke nānāʻana i ka wāwae e hōʻemi i nā wāwae, no laila ponoʻoe e wehe iā lākou i ka mea hiki. Mai poina e pili ana i nā kāmaʻa aiʻole nā kāmaʻa me nā heʻe kuʻekuʻe kiʻekiʻe .
