MOtneT-Ot-pearl, satin ana swan uONH are
combined to produce an ornament as grace
full and effective in the bands of beauty as
ever beauty welded. Delicate handkerchiefs
daintily embroidered and trimmed with
lace are folded in pretty cases, and make as
handsome and adaptable a gift as one can
well choose for a lady fair. Messrs, Ehlers
& Co. are always pleased to exhibit their
goods, and under their guidance all can
depend upon getting just the article they
want.
Messrs. HoLLIsTER & Co., who have
two large and handsome drug stores in
Honolulu one at the old number In
Nuuanu street, where they receive their
importations and do their wholesale busi-
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 bewil-
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
me'ticine," 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 haye arranged with great taste, and
in the immediate foreground handsome
cases are filled with such articles as celluloid
dressing-cases, for example. These are en-
tirely novel. and most exquisite articles.
Aside from their shapes, which are hani-
some, and their Interchangeable, which
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 Sdchets and bottles so temptingly dis
played. Everybody has II fondness for some
kind of perfume, and from amongst the
many varieties for sale by Me5srs. Hollister
* Co. all tastes can be gratified. 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 sachets of elegant
make, exhaling lasting sweetness. The
Colognes, in beautiful cut-glass TASKS, are
ever fresh and cooling aud of u most deli
cious aroma. With a passing glance at the
large display of ivory and b~iack-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
the chibouks, "hubble-bubbles." or water
pipes of Oriental origin and design. To
those who enjoy ga quiet smoke" these
pipes have q peculiar charm. Their long,
fleXible stems admit of the smokers taking
a much comfort as is permitted to the
average smoker on earth. and the practice
is rendered as harmless as it may be made
by 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
meerschaum and carved briar-roOt are ex-
hibited in great variety. The greater pOr-
ton of this stock was carefully selected by
one of the firm during IA tour abroad.
While we are in the store we do not fail to
ask for and drink a glass of such soda-water
as canDot be found elsewhere, 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,
especially toilet articles, are to be found,
and those who find it more convenient to
g. shop" on Fort street than on Nuuanu can
ave a large variety to select from.
Year after year our old friend Mr.. Nc
INERNY has brought forward his fine stock
of new goods. With each recurring holiday
season he is sure to have some handsome
novelties on exhibition, anu this year he
has not failed to renew his stock in time
for those who like to give and receive tokens
of friendship. In the first place, his stock
of mems underwear and all accessories to
the toilet are very complete and handsome.
The most fastidious beau in our midst can
find here knit and woven goods that satisfy
all the demands of a refined taste and
health requirements. Being duly equipped
with underwear, then follows the selection
of over linen. Upon examination of the
various styles of shirts imported by Mr..
McInerny one can find that they can pur-
chase pei feet fitting garments of that de-
scription that are what Oscar Wilde would
call :. utter poems." They are elegant ex-
amples of skill and taste OH the part of the
manufactures and of those who "g. It them
up" Before a man endues himself with
one Of these snowy garments he feels in
~stinctively that he must SHAVE" and from
the broad showcase at his elbow Mr.. Nc
Inerny will produce all the best tools of the
best make for his customers inspection.
There are razors, single or in pairs, with
which it is a pleasure to remove the I'M
slightly stubble of a few days growth from
lips and chin; especially when the surface
to be operated on has been duly prepared by
the application of the creamy lather of the
delicately scented shaving soaps of which
there are so many fine varietie, arranged in
close proximity to the soft brushes where
with tn apply it. Ready to the hand are
toilet mirrors of clear plate glass beautifully
cut, and mounted more like gems than
mirrors. With the shaving appliance
which in themselves make one of the most
appropriate and welcome gifts that one
friend can give another-are to be found
brushes and combs in almost endless va
