The Latest Fancies From the
Fashion Cent? S.
PREPARATIONS FOR THE HOLIDAYS

AShohlS dA t llGhlHS lOT Tie
holidays, and of seeing what new 9
things are arriving from the world of
fashion, I visited the store of Whitney =
& Marsh the other day 81
I was greeted very pleasantly by the s
courteous head of the firm, who has
but lately returned from the Main
land, and who chatted very interest
ingly anent his trip.
When I asked him to show me some b
of the new and pretty things he had
bought, he smiled and said:
why, there are so many that |
scarcely know where to begin, but the
special item we are showing this week
lis these
KENsINGToN ART DRAPERIEs.
There they were-a table piled full
.of them-in wondrous variety Of col
TORS, double and single face, embracing
,Grecian Heraldic, Egyptian and Arab
sesque designs. There were also Art
,Denims in pretty, plain shades, and
!: bright-colored Silkolines, and beauti- /
,ful Cretonnes. If it ever happens that
fanny one asks me to help him in fur
finishing a house, shall at least haveI
ssome ideas for making curtains andI
sportieres, and couch covers
LADIES BELTS AND BUCKLES. /
Just to the right Of the Draperies II
.saw, hung over the counter, about a!
Hundred of the newest belts with some
sof the prettiest buckles I have ever
Eseen. There is new double buckle
(which allows both ends OF the belt to
awaisted effect to the wearer This
buckle is readily removable, and when
sthe belt is worn out the buckle may
sbe kept and attached to a new belt. 1
a COMBS AND HAIR ORNAMENTS. /
4 In these I saw the most recent con-
Eceits, and many are the new ideas that
Sthe makers have put forth in Pompa-
xdour, Side and Back Combs. Fourettes,
EStray-Lock Pins and Hair Ornaments
sThe limitations of real shell are very
zclever and, of course, don't cost any
Sthing like the genuine article.
LEATHER GOODS.
4 The stores assortment, Of Purses,
sChatelaines, Shopping Bags and Card
SCases is excellent, and the prices lower
ethan l have ever seen them. I know
Hthat that department will have a rush
Eof business as holiday time approach
les.
WASH GOODS.
But the Wash Goods section! How ]
kcould rave over the pretty things
SWash Goods here 1 ever saw, and
@have travelled a good bit of the world.
HI am told that there is a great de-
Nmand for Chambrays and Linen Cling
Ehams and Silk Ginghams, and Madras
HTissues and Pineapple Zephyrs. The
Hplain colors-ox blood and light blue.
Hchiefly-are the most popular, but
Ethere is also a steady call for stripes
&and for stripes with small figures
b worked in between.
CRAVATS.
81 Unquestionably the most popular Tie
Hnowadays, both for men and women
lis the narrow Hand known as
1.-THE Derby" This tie goes well with
the high band turnover collar, it's mar
row width allowing it to be tied in a
"a
aside edges of the rundown collar al
&most touch in front. Nevertheless, the
Epopularity of the Batwing and Butter
Ely Ties does not seem to wane, and
&there is also fair share of Clubs
ETecks and Windsors worn. / noticed q
Enumber of ties in the Regatta colors-
&Myrtle and Healani-which l was tolG
Ewere to sell at 35 cents each. I think
Ethis low price will be appreciated, as
a fool Glxn noUiDp ~
Ecents or a dollar for a Tie which is
Eworn Nlittle more than one day in 6
wyear.
81 AMERICAN LINENS.
n Many of us have lived all our live!
Ewithout ever having seen a scrap o.
Elinen of American manufacture. I saw
Tsome in Whitney & Marsh's basemen
Tsalesroom, and it was beautiful Yol
scouldn't tell it from English linen, ant
Aif you could, then l am, in the Ian
Tguage of an esteemed contemporary o
smine, a fringed DOYLE serving as a ma
, Efor bottle Of Worcestershire Sauce
, There are Doylies of American linen
! Rand Table Cloths, too and Napkins ant
xseveral kinds of Towels. I shall b.
ginterested to know how these goods ar
Ereceived here.
n SHIRTWAISTS.
II Downstairs I also saw the creates
Garray Of Shirtwaists that has eve
&been brought to the Islands. But ev
J xeryone knows that the store is stronl
Son Shirtwaists, and I guess everyon
: sgoes there for waists, so l won't di
) alate.
a WASHABLE SKIRTS.
IS In Washable Skirts also, this hous
Its far away and ahead of it's competi
Etors. In fact, if 1 am not mistaken
Esthey were the introducers of tn
EWashable separate Skirt in Honolulu
III can well remember when it was no
Epossible to buy a ready-made Skin
Ehere Yesterday I saw 1,500 Of them Il
Ethis store, and scarcely any two alike
81 FAMOUS REDFERN CORsETS.
81 But if there was any one thing tina
Fl was more glad to see than all tn
Crest, it was a big pile of the famou
ERedfern Corsets-the first shipment t
Ethe Hawaiian Islands. I wore on
Eonce, and ever since 1 have locke
back to that time of comfort with in
Efnite longing. Why, even the first tim
Eyou put it on it's as easy as the pro
EyerbiaI old shoe 1t yields to ever
