PERFCMEs aud TOILET ARTICLES.
Messfs. HoLLIsTER & Co., who nave
TWO large and handsome drug stores IN
Honolulu one at the old number III
Nuuanu street, where they receive their
importations and do their wholesale BUSH
ness. and the other on the corner of Fort
and Merchant streets-have made them
unusually attractive by the display OF
elegant perfumery articles and a bewll-
dering array of toilet articles that COM
bine beauty of design and finish with
utility in an eminent degree. The drug
gists have the advantage of being able
to display their wares put up in q pleasing
form. In fact, to compensate for the misery
that one feels in being obliged to take
medicine and in part to call the attention
of suffering humanity to their wares, the
manufacturers of patent medicines invent
and use every variety of neat form and gay
color in which to envelop their pills, lotions
and fluid preparations. These Messrs. Hol-
lister have arranged with great taste, and
in the immediate foreground handsome
cases are filled with such articles as celluloid
dressing-eases, for example. These are en-
tirely novel, and most exquisite articles.
Aside from their shapes, which are han1-
aAr,o ,,4l III, IT, xrIfah
are very complete, the material of which
their contents are made resists wear and
admits of cleaning without injury. While
examining these tasteful articles one enjoys
the delightful perfumes that escape from
the sachets and bottles SO temptingly dis
played. Everybody has a fondness for some
kind of perfume, and from amongst the
many varieties for sale by Messrs. Hollister
& Co. all tastes can be gratiied. The deli
licate extracts from the violet, rose and lily
are mingled with the more decided ones
drawn from the ~geranium, jasmine and
tuberose. Old favorites, as the JOckey-Club,
Rosemary and Frangipanni, are here, be-
sides many new and delicious combinations.
For the linen press and the handkerchief or
glove-boX there are scent sacheGs of elegant
make, exhaling lasting sweetness. The
III beautiful cuC-SlaSS TASKS, are
ever fresh and cooling and of a most deli
cious aroma. With a passing glance at the
large display of ivory and black-handled
and framed brushes of all kinds, we take a
good long look at the smokers %parapher-
MALTA. Our attention is at once called to
c~hibouks, "hubble-bubbles," or water
pipes of Oriental origin and design. To
those who enjoy ga quiet smoke" these
pipes have a peculiar charm. Their long,
flexible stems admit of the smokers taking
as much comfort as is permitted to the
average smoker on earth. and the practice
Is rendered as harmless as it may be made
the arrangement which passes the smoke
through scented water ere it reaches the
mouthpiece. All other appliances for smok-
ing are to be found here, and the priced
and carved briar-root are ex-
hibited in great variety. The greater por-
ton of this stock was carefully selected by
of the firm during a tour abroad.
While We are in the store we do not fail to
for and drink a glass of sucl saltwater
rs canuot be found eisew ier|, except, it
may be, in the branch store on the corner
Of Fort and Merchant streets. Here, as in
the Nuuanu street store, beautiful goods,
those who find it more convenient to
shop" on For, street than on Nuuanu can
have a large variety to select from.
