Christmas is coming on
apace and the people with
elegant foresight are looking
around for suitable gifts for
the season. In our stock we
have hundreds of articles
which are Of the ornamental
variety and suitable for
Christmas gifts. This year
we have been careful to Sc
lect a variety of goods, snowy
and substantial articles for
all classes of society. We
have no more for the rich
than the poor, we cater to the
tastes of all, and the result
has been very satisfactory to
us in a business way.
We have a number of
statuettes in Parian marble,
one of which will be an ac-
QUESTION to any home. The
list comprises: Lady Godiva
Early Struggles, Europa,
Robinette, Comus, Opheiia,
Apollo as Shepherd Boy, The
Sisters, Maidenhood, Venus
de Medici, The French Model,
Diana Abandoned. These
are Of good size for the table
or center piece on a mantel.
Another neat gift is a cup
and saucer in Crown Derby.
These are entirely new here
and of beautiful design and
quality. We have also some
rich and elegant articles in
Royal Worcester and Solid
Silver ware, a glance at our
windows will give you an
idea of the excellence of the
assortment.
A number of articles in
bric-a-brac and glass vases,
crockery and glassware are
selected for general use, and
will make acceptable pre-
SentS.

They put into vivid words my own
habitual meditations for the first part
of the church service, at least. [ be-
lieve the one who wrote them must
be spiritually, if not in fact, member
of the Audubon Society, that society
which asks that the feathered singers
be allowed life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. You will be glad to know
that | read the poem to those who sip
tea with me, and Emmeline was one
who heard. Her hat last Sunday was
a mistake, not sin. The milliner had
not obeyed orders, and it was that hat
that day or no church. Tomorrow it
will be practically another hat, En-
incline promises me, so our devotions
will be disturbed only long enough to
approve of Emmeline's logical hat.

FOR YEARS
Unenviab1e Experience of
Brooklyn Woman.
tim of Torture How Science
Successfully Battled DiseaSe-A
Story for Women.

From the Standard, Brooklyn, n. Y.
Few women have had a more mis-
cradle existence and lived to tell the
tale than Mrs. Anna L. Smith, of 81
Pulaski Avenue, Brooklyn. With all
the comforts that money affords, with
all the happiness that many loving
! friends can give, the joy of Mrs
Smiths life was blasted for years by
story is most interesting as told to a
reporter:
81 was an invalid for years, suffering
first with one complaint and then with
another. My case was truly that of
a complication of diseases, due to an
accident which I received some years
! ago. The thing which caused me the
most discomfort was the worst case of
| indigestion imaginable. l made all
around me miserable by my sufferings
and was most miserable myself. had
the best physician we could find, and
occasionally his prescriptions relieved
me temporarily. But the pains and
misery would all soon return again.
l became desperate, and started in to
try remedies of which l read. Among
| them were the Pink Pills. l took the
pills and followed out the directions
to the letter, and before many days
l began to feel like a different woman.
For six weeks / took the pills regular
| ~, and | can truthfully add after that
/ was as well as any one in the fam
! lily. The change for the better in my
condition has caused my relatives and
| friends to take the pills.
Il assure you it was impossible for
me to oversee my household for three
years Now / visit my kitchen every
day, do my own marketing and shop
ping; in word, look after everything
connected with my home and family.
"Oh, yes, 1 still keep taking the pills.
I take one daily after dinner. Proven
ton. you know, is better and cheaper
than cure verify believe one-half of
the women who are suffering from the
ills which our sex are heir to would
be up and we'll if they could be in
duced to give the Pink Pills a fair trial.
1 certainly recommend them heartily
and feel grateful to the physician who
put them on the market"
The secret of health, strength and
activity is pure blood, and sound
nerves. DR.. Williams Pink Pills make
pure, rich red blood and strengthen
the nerves, and this is the secret of the
marvellous success with which this
medicine has met-the reason why it
cures when other medicines fail.
The list of disease having their orr
gin in impure or watery blood, or a
shattered condition of the nerves is a
long one, but in every case DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills will restore health
and strength if given fair trial. The
genuine Pink Pills are sold only in
glass walls, bearing the full trade
mark. "Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People" They are sold by Hol-
lister Drug Company, Hebron Drug
Company, wholesale agents for the Ha-
waiian Islands, and all dealers in medf-
cine.

longed TO pass on your discarded al
grettes to your sister-you are so eco
nomical. Don't. Write an epitaph in

feathers. and let it be a continual OBJ
ject-lesson in your drawing-room-
that is if your heart is really touched
| know four women who have like
you shorn all their hats and bonnets
OF the dread aigrette. Like you, they
seek its effective substitute. l am told
there is certain aigrette-like feather
that can be obtained without pain to
the goose. l must confess that it is
lacking the graceful outlines of it's
ariStocratic relative. Jet, steel. pearls
wire and bristles can be used-all in
adequate, too. Ostrich plumes are not
tabu, let us be thankful, as their shed
ding is provided for by nature Turkey
quilts need not be pulled till the
Thanksgiving bird Chat necessityD is
beyond feeling.
The fact is, my dear, we must edu-
cate the milliners till they, writing Of
the Obstinancy of certain Honolulu
customers, repeatedly demand aigrettes
that are delicate and feathery but I'M
mistakeably artificial. I'll write to
Paris myself. l am sure the French
feather-makers study the problem, and
ere-long we shall display in our new
bOnnets the proof of our careful Gull
tivation of ethics no less than aesthet-
les.

you of single womanly charm.

The hiatus in foreign steamers offers
a fine opportunity for answering ISL
and letters, and in the absence of tea
tipplers today 1 succeed in writing to
the following correspondents:
A. NJ. P.-I remember to have heard
of people who drank their beer from
tea-cups sometimes at lunch when
there was a long table, and they did
not wish to rouse the platitudes of GER
tain abstinent table-companions. 1
myself confess to certain conven-
tional weakness in preferring to serve
tea in my Sevres and Crown Derby.
l have been advised to have Five
O'clock Hot Water Cure, Four O'Clock
Milk Slipping. 1 may do so. l may
even serve caviare sandwiches and iced
tea, but beer and crackers and cheese
no, thank you, A NJ. P, not at five
where 1 preside.
DIR. G.-KAUAI-The prospectus of
the Riverside School of Health for
Women interested me greatly. What
a blessing it would be to Honolulu if
we could have such school established
permanently here! Women are more
ignorant of physiology, anatomy and
hygiene than they are of politics and
government, which is saying much.
AS for dietetics, how few people get
above the plane of living to eat! The
lectures on physical beauty would be
crowded; also, l am inclined to think,
the classes in cultivating the speaking
voice. That single matter is worth
many times the $500 tuition for the
years course I have often wondered
why voice regulating is not fad ev-
erywhere Many a time have 1 wished
that some enterprising teacher would
start a class in the scientific use of
the speaking voice. AS to the other
courses, l consider those on emergen-
cies, women and children's diseases
and child-training the most important
and you were wise not to omit psy-
chology and the specialties.
When one Honolulu Woman's Club
Is IuIly OrSduIZSu we Sudll nave CIdooCO
in all these subjects, and shall feel that
we are doing the noblest kind of phil
anthropic work.
My especial grudge against all the
educational powers in Hawaii is that
they provide such mere tidbits of ply
Biological instruction. / consider sound
physiology, wisely taught, as import
ant as anything that can be learned
from books. Nowhere more than in
Hawaii do the boys and girls need to
be impressed with the wonderful
mechanism, the grandeur and the pos
sibilities of the House Beautiful that
each inhabits for a season.
NJ ESQ you were shocked last
Sunday, were you, to observe wings
and aigrettes on Emmeline's hat after

the bird question? And did you wish
that she could see the pathetic verses
you clipped from the English maya

In front of my pew sits maiden
A little brown wing in her hat,
With its touches of tropical azure,
And sheen of the sun upon that.
Through the bloom-colored pane shines
a glory
By which the vast shadows are
stirred,
But l pine for the spirit and splendor
That painted the wing of that bird.
The organ rolls down its great an

With the soul of a song it is blent;
But for me, am sick for the singing
OF one little song that is spent.

net
Is hooking the merciful sound.
