Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1914-12-19

Plans that have been in the making
for months are now being carried OF
with a vim by the majority Of tn
leading merch ants Of this city in thu
Christmas window dressing for thu
grandest OF holidays. The holiday OF
ferings OF the leading stores alone
form a treat for the eyes. A largt
number OF the local stores have pu
on their holiday dress as far as IL,
show windows are concerned, 1u
claim that they have been too BUS,
TO properly decorate the store int
rtOr. but assert that this will be done
before the great day.
Among those who have their displa
windows in holiday dress are the fol
lowing:
Wall q Dougherty.
Wall & Dougherty. the jewellers or
Bishop street, have completed one u
the handsomest decorated stores In
the city. Massive ferns. poinsettias
and orchids have been attractiv"ly
placed. principally on the tops OF the
wall show cases and also in the win
dows and on stands about the store
and the restful green Of the ferns
and palms Offset by the dazzling bril-
liant red of the poinsettia- in full bios
som vies with the sparkle OF the cut
glass and silver on display. The dec
orations are all from the home col
lection Of Mr. Wall. who probably has
the greatest variety Of ferns In the
islands. The sizes Of the fern plants
that are used in decorating the store
are I'm themselves a wonder, and the
fern lover will find his ideal in a peep
into Wall & Dougherty's.
Hawaiian Electric Co.
The Hawaiian Electric Co., Ltd, has
prettily decorated window, repre-
senting q park with an electric train
performing over a circular scenic
railway. The natural conditions Of q
well appointed park are present and
the whole make very pleasing ap.
pearance This firm Is extending ala
Invitation to the people of this city
to make this coming Christmas an
electrical Christmas and the novelties
they have for carrying out that idea
in the way OF electric utensils are va
ried and numerous.
Levers q Cooke. >.. .s--.
Levers & Cooke are showing a cou-
pie Of beautifully fixed up windows
One represents an alcove In white
with sprays Of autumn leaves and a
generous display of cutlery and cleo
trical appliances makes most at,
tractive whole. In the other window
they clearly show what can be done
in the line of decoration with me
chanics' tools. The efforts of the dec
orator here have been fully realized.
The Clarion.
The Clarion, at the corner Of Hotel
and Fort, can always be counted on
to do the proper caper In the line Of
and store dressing during the
holiday season. The arrangement Of
the combination suggestions in the
Hotel street window leaves nothing
to be desired. There is Just enough to
attract the attention and create the
desire that It was the intention Of the
window dresser to impart The Fort
street window Is equally as attractive
and PRETTY arranged.
HonoIuiu Photo Supply.
The Honolulu Photo and Supply
Company Is making very fetching
bid for the attention Of those who like
to go afield taking camera with
them and getting everlasting remeii,
branees OF their visits to places that
are pleasing to the eye. With this
firm 1t Is certainly a case Of every
thing Photographic" and there is a
sample In the window There Is also
q fine display OF art frames and pic
lures to match.
Henry May a Co.
Henry May q Co.'S beautiful large
windows cry aloud with the heaps Of
good things that appeal to the window
gazer to be taken home and given :
place on the big spread that Is sure
70 cause the dining table to groan
lew days hence. The interior OF the
store Is also worthy Of a visit Just to
lee what taste has been observed IN
he decorations, the method OF dis
playing goods and the class of COM
nodities that are set forth as sugges-
lions for a feast
Arleigh's
ArIeigh's. on Hotel street'can easily
hgure as the headquarters Of Kris
Kringle from the display that firm Is
making of things that delight the
hearts Of the young, old and medium.
There Is no stint OF collection from
which to make q selection for any OF
the family from the baby to grandpa
AS usual they have entered into the
