new things are blooming that
will charm thousands. Art in
Lamps. Lots of it. Our store
is not so large as the new
Church will be, and yet there's
freedom enough to allow you
to come to see, to enjoy and
not be teased to buy. The
teasing way is the way of some
stores; not our way.
We were mistaken about
the silver buckled carriers. We
thought we would have enough
to last to Christmas but they
were too pretty. Ladies are
particular about some things
this is one of them.
On Friday we opened a case
containing goods manufacture
ed of Aluminium, the new metal
that is destined to supercede
iron and steel in many things.
The leading qualities in alum
mum are durability, strength
and hghtness. Horse bits, for
instance, are made of it and
tested to 500 lbs. They seem
to be as light in weight as if
they were made of wood. Stir
rups and horse shoes follow in
the same ratio of weight.
Compositors's sticks, so light
that the typo can work for
twelve hours on solid nonpar-
ell and at the end not feel as
though he was holding a ten
pound shot in his hand. These
are useful articles. Fans, ban
giles and odd things for decor
ating were among the fancy
things.
If you come in to see the
new metal you'll probably
make some inquiry about the
handsomest lamp shades you
ever saw.
The Lamp Fete began last
Monday and continued until
9 o'clock Saturday night. 1t
begins again today and will
last until-well, until people
stop buying lamps. We
thought, until the commence
ment of it, that we had the
lead on the lamp business in
Honolulu. Now we know it
There's a lamp down near
the door made to look like old
silver. (you remember what we
said about silver in lamps last
week. and representing Arts
totle or Sparticus or some
body. Our thought factory
refuses to supply us with the
name of the particular individ-
ual; al all events, it is a very
perfect piece of modelling.
The sinews are true to nature
and the expression as piteous
as that of a captured che
ia player. 1t is quite the
richest and incest pattern in
table lamps we have have ever
shown you. The price on the
tag includes the shade.
We offer you a dozen differ
ent styles of Banquet Lamps
that would puzzle a connois-
seur to decide which is the
handsomest. They're decid-
edly French in design if not in
manufacture. Polished brass
founts resting on a pillar of
onyx. Bright silver or old
silver mingling with polished
brass. Combinations which
blend tremendously and give
out wonderful effects.
