TdE MANY DIFFERENT ART
Giles FOR TIE HOLIDAYS.
Some of the Beauties Displayed BY
Our Merchants-The Best Places
to Buy Your Presents.

In all cities Of any size whatever,
the merchants make an extra display
of attractive goods for the holiday
trade. a special pride is taken in
this matter, and each store vies with
its neighbor in making its show win
dows and its interior as pleasing 10
the eye of a customer as possible.
Honolulu is not behind other cities
in this respect. Hawaiian merchants
are more progressive than even their
brothers across the water. They have
larger stocks than storekeepers in
cities OF the same size in the United
States can carry. A few of the places
where one can obtain first class arti-
Giles for fair price are mentioned be-
low. One Of the places where lovers
of beautiful things congregate is
II. r. WICHMAN'S
Jeweiry store. One is almost GER
tain of finding ones wants among his
large and varied stock. 1t is pleasure
to simply look over it, even if one does
not buy anything. But it is hard to en-
ter his store and simply look at things.
One has an almost irresistible impulse
to put ones hand in ones pocket and
become the possessor of some one of
the innumerable lovely articles dis
played in the show cases.
EGAN & GUMS

tronized by holiday buyers. Their
store is a bower of beauty in the dry
goods line, and all day, and every day,
one can see a crowd of Christmas
shoppers looking at goods on their
counters. They have exquisite table
linens, and laces that would delight
the heart of any woman who had
such Christmas present sent her.

THE PACIFIC HARDWARE COMPANY

the Christmas trade, and their stock

eyes when you sit in the lanai, and
