A leading representative OF the retail
trade remarked yesterday that that trade
all things considered. had been very good
this fall and winter; but, he added. III
is too much the custom with Richmond
merchants to consider that the season
ends, with the 25th Of December" His
idea Is that by pushing 1t the January
trade can be made as heavy as that OF
November. There is a good deal In these

by our retail merchants generally.

How Young MT. Labouchere Rose to EN-
inence.

How Young Mr.. Labouchere Rose to EN-
inence.
In 1922 Mr.. Labouchere, a relative
OF the present member of Parliament
OF that name, was clerk in the banking
house OF Hope, of Amsterdam. One
day he was sent by his patrons to Mr..
Barring, the cele brated london banker,
to negotiate loan. He displayed in
the affair so much ability as to entirely
win the esteem and confidence of the
English banker.
Faith" said Labouchere one day to
Barring, your daugh er IS a charming
creature. l wish | could persuade you
to give me her hand"
Young man, you are ioking, for Sc
riOusly you must allow that Miss
Barring could never become the wife of
a simple clerk"
But. said Lab ouchere, IF 1 were
in partnership with Mr.. Hope?"
oh, that would be quite a different
thing; that would entirely make up
for all other DEFICIENCIES"
Returning to Amsterdam Labouchere
said to his patron:
You must take me into partner
ship"
My young friend, how can you think
of such a thing? 1t is impossible.
You are without fortune, and"
But. if I became the son-in-law of
Mr.. Baring?"
in that case the affair would soon
be settled. and so you have my word.
Fortified with these two promises,
Labouchere returned to England and
two months after married Miss Barring,
because Mr.. Hope had promised to take
him into partnership, and he became
allied to the house of Hope on the
strength of that promise of marriage.
