BURDENs0ME CHRISTMAS.

The owner Of one of the largest re-
tail dry goods stores, in the United
States, said to US several years ago,
Christmas has become n dsy of i'm
position. The two weeks, before it
comes of, are the unhappiest days of
the year for most people"
AS Christmas approaches, the people
with slender means, anxiously think
of the coming expense, in buying
presents. They do not wish TO be
considered mean, and yet they cannot
afford the buying of them. So long as
the custom was, to give simple re-
membranes, it was grateful one, and
created much happy feeling. So it
was also, when the rich remembered
the poor. But when it became the
fashion for all classes to exchange
presents, a pleasant custom changed
to . grievous burden, as il is today.
Not only is the expense burden,
70 the large majority who cannot
afford it, but it, also, burden on
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1894-12-21

those who are rich or are well on, De-
cause they are puzzled TO know whaI
sort Of presents TO make.
In Europe there is sort of fashloh
and limit in the nature OF the gifts'
but in the United States, where the
custom is comparatively new, IL LEADS
to the most foolish extravaganza anu
expense. Women are, for days before
Christmas, slaves to the custom.
Men are, often, equally in distress.
No one cares 10 be called "mean."
This custom, so fine in its nature,
Int so burdensome in its abuse, will
finally end, when the rich or weil-to-
do will set the example OF modera-
ton, or will cease TO observe 1t.
Besides, it is not, by any means, a
poed custom, which concentrates
charity on one day in the year, and
rather encourages meanness during
the rest of the year. The habit OF do
ing good is not, by any means, estab-
Iished by practicirg it once year,
especially when one is forced to do 1T
by an unsound public sentiment. In
the family circle, the case Is different;
but, even in this, it is often a griev-
Gus and costly burden. We have, in
these columns, advocated the lavish
use of the Japanese smile. If every
body could indulge in it, during the
week, it would be as good,
if not better, than indiscriminate
presents. Let our churches set the
example.

MaripOsa Brings One of the Largest
Of the Season.

The post Office department has
handled 122 bags of mail from San
Francisco during the last ten days.
The largest mail of the season
came on the Mariposs yesterday.
The department handled 5577 letters,
9511 papers, 240 registered letters
and 304 parcel post packages. The
holidays are swelling the mail
receipts, this year even more than
usual. The number of packages
received by the parcel post is two or
three times greater than the average.
The mail was handled promptly, and
the Christmas mail for Kauai all sent
out on the Makee. 1t is anticipated
that the bulk of the Christmas mail
from San Francisco will arrive on
the Australia. Those who were not
remembered yesterday may take new
courage.

his trousers instead of a stock
ing as a receptacle for Santa
Claus gifts. There is perhaps
no myth SO pleasant in the
hearts of the youngsters as
this one about the old fellow,
the reindeers and the chimney
and nothing in the life of the
parent which justihes the little
deceit as much as this. Foy
this climate, however, t.
illustrations and the text of the
legend should be changed; no
kid, however backward he
may be, can be persuaded
that on the cath of December
an old patriarch goes about
dressed in fur lined garments
and snow shoes. The climate
won't stand it and we can't
understand why the children
do. Why not have some one
of our enterprising book deal
ers get up something appro-
pirate for the mid-Paciic
Christmas. There's talent
enough in town to make de-
signs for the illustrations and
plenty of poets to put the
thing in rhyme. 1t would be
a new departure from the con-
ventional fur robed old
chap, and should be a
go here and elsewhere.
People from the States would
buy it to show the tots at home
what sort of a looking fellow
Santa Claus is, in the Paradise
of the Pacific.
Our stock does not include |
many articles for children, but
we are pretty well fixed for the
middle aged and the old. We |
have some special bargains in
the house keeping line and
can supply you with as fine
and serviceable an ice chest as
can be made. We don't wish
to imply that they are as at
tractive in appearance as if
they were patched up with
mirrors and geegaws, but
they are more serviceable.
They are built on an ice saw
ing principle, one that works
like a charm.
The best quality of Cocoa
Mats came to us on the "Rou-
tenbeck." There's nothing
more useful about the house
than a good quality mat unless
it is money. We find a Hart
mann Steel Mat indispensable
in wet weather, and a Cocoa
Mat a necessity when it does
not rain. The two styles to-
gether form a useful combina-
ton, that saves wear and tear
Of the carpets and mating. In
this new lot we have some of
the cheap ones; they sell at
so cents, and others of the
better sort that are a trihe
higher in price. Not a poor
one in the lot, and none but
will stand plenty of kicking
about.
Cut glass at half the price

enough for you to buy. The
