Hawaii's Mother of Year
Says She Outranks In-Laws
Br MARY PRIME
United Press International
New York, May 17 -OD-To
be a good mother-in-law, you
have to out-rank your chil
dren's spouses, says Hawaii's
"motler ol the year."
Mrs. Emma Kaleionamoku
Ai Hausten, 83, should know.
She has eight children, 17
grandchildren, and 13 great
grandchildren.
"I am still very powerful
. as a mother because my chil
dren love and respect me so
much. I come first before the
in-laws," Mrs. , Hausten said
in an interview during a re
cent trip to New York to the
annual American Mothers
committee conference. She
was the oldest mother pres
ent. Her name means "daugh
ter of the islands," but "ev
eryone calls me mama.
"All my children are mar
ried. We all get along. My
girl in-laws are sweet, and
the boys have nothing to say
- except that I'm the best tutu
(grandmother) in the world,"
she added, with an impish
grin.
Mrs. Hausten, who wore a
pink striped "tutumuu"
(grandmother gown) and or
chids in her white hair, cred
ited her long life to keeping
busy.
She taught school for 30
years, and has traveled
around the world.
Today, she is president of
The Willows, a family-owned
restaurant, converted from
the old family homestead in
Honolulu. Her daughter, Mrs.
Al Kealoha Perry, who ac
companied her to New York,
manages the restaurant.
Gardens Daily
Mrs. Hausten planted all
the trees and flowers on the
place, and still supervises the
landscaping and works with
gardeners daily "so I can have
exercise. I don't want to just
sit, and flowers are what I
can do. But they say I'm al
ways transplanting things."
The kindly, pixie-humored
woman keeps an apartment
and a beach house, and still
does all her own cooking.
"The children like to come
back, especially the boys
when their wives are away.
They tell me they want to
taste the old cooking. Well,
they do!" she said, brushing
aside her daughter's warning
shush.
Mrs. Hausten ' also is a
member of the Pan-Padfie
Women's Conference and has
been active since 1888 in the
Kawaiahao Congregational
church - "the Westminster
Abbey of Hawaii," founded
by missionaries and hand
made of coraL
As a girl, Mrs. Hausten '
left her home in Maui, Ha
waii's second largest island,
to attend a missionary school
in Honolulu. She was work
ing her way through school in
the kitchens, planning to be
come a cook, when she de
cided on a teaching career
instead.
She taught for. two years,
then married and had seven
children. Her husband died,
and she returned to teaching,
continuing her career after
her second marriage and an
other child.
Then her second husband
died. "I thought then, 'I
haven't anything to give my
children, so I'll work and
give them an education. I
worked hard. I had only two
suits of clothes, but I was al
ways clean," she said.
Shows Wardrobe
During the interview, Mrs.
Hausten sat down only once.
She popped up first to answer
the'door, then accepted a din
ner invitation from Mrs. Nor
man Vincent Peale, chatted
with three mothers, and
packed suitcases.1
Then she unpacked to show
her wardrobe of tutumuus,
muu-muus and holokus (for
mal gowns with trains), de
signed for her by the Hawai
ian Fashion Guild. She was
especially proud of an ivory
and silver necklace which be
longed to Princess Kalania
naole, and a gold bracelet,
for which her pupils collected
their pennies when she re
tired in 1941.
"They never gave anyone
else a present like that," she
said proudly. "I think they
really loved me." "

"Children are born knowing
bow to play, but they must be
taught to work," explained Car-
ma Lyle the oth-

to insist that each boy complete
his tasks. But although they may
complain or even do a little foot-
tomping, they're usually hum
ming or singing by the time

more quickly they complete it
the happier they seem the rest
of the day:

And so every day when the
Lyle boys coma home from
school, each automatically
checks his own list. Sometimes
Carma has a candy kiss pinned
onto each one, or she might sug
gest that each look in his right
Sunday shoe for a treat Some
times the lists include "Do some
thing nice for some one else.
or "If work is finished by 4
o'clock, see mother for a re
ward." Carma says now they
check their lists betoro they even
take off their coats! .
combines perfectly with the oth
er ingredients. Here s the recipe
for you to try for yourself.
PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH

Since women seem to do their
best talking over something to
eat, Carma gave me a piece of
