ton Proposes to Hold 1t
Sept. 20 to Oct. 4.

committee of the Retail Merchants
Association is hard at work these days
arranging for fall trade week. which
is to be held September % to October 4.
inclusive. The purpose of this week" is
to give a further impetus to fall trade.
and at the same time add to the gayety
of the city. 1t Is movement in which
large percentage of the merchants have
promised to participate, and several
months ago the Retail Merchants Asso-
citation started to plan for the occasion.
Fall trade week is bound to be a big
success said r. p. Andrews, president
of the Retail Merchants Association, last
night. There Is no question but that
Washington stores have as big assort-
ments and as fine qualities at as rea-
sonable prices as can be found in any
city in the Union. and it is to interest
the out-of-town trade that this trade
week has been planned. There are many
towns where the bulk of the = buying
should naturally be done in this city.
great deal of this trade now goes to
Baltimore, some to Richmond.
Intend to Reach Out.
I'VE intend to reach out and let the
people in those centers know that
Washington is very much ton the map
as a buying center.
There is every indication that the
coming fall trade is going to be lively.
Right here in the midst of things, po-
litically, we hear tremendous amount
Of talk of legislation, but reports that
I have received from various sections
of the country lead me to believe that
with the gathering of the crops-which
are of q bumper character-fall trade
will have a big impetus"
1t is to get the Jump on this big
business that is expected that the mer-
chants of Washington, through the Re-
tail Merchants Association. are plan
ming this trade week..
The committee representing the Re-
tail Merchants Association is now In
touch with the passenger agents Of the
various railroads entering Washington,
and 1T is expected that arrangements
for a reduced rate during trade week"
will be put in force.

The season is just opening fairly. and
in the coming week, il is stated. receipts
viii become heavier and the vessels that

Reports coming from the melon-grow-
ing country state that the crop, while

all demands, and that before the season

win have been able to buy them at mod
crate prices.
As the oyster season will not open until
September 10. all the vessels now en-
ployed in running melons will remain in
that service until after September l, and
many will continue in the trade as long
as there are any melons to bring here.

princcsse dress that is pictured here is
made with long sleeves that are sewed
TO the blouse at the elongated line and
these sleeves are prettily shaped Il
would be difficult to find a prettier or
smarter model. In the illustration,
the sleeves and collar are Of one Of
the new fancy silks and the dress itself
is made from a novelty material in
silk and wool that is almost as light
as silk itself yet has somewhat more
durability. The girl who likes long
sleeves will find that suggestion a
good one. Perhaps it will be a little
difficult to realize that the white linen
dress with eyelet embroidery shown
at the extreme right IS made after
the same design, but such is the fact;
and still another variation could be
made in white charmeuse satin and
lace in place Of the linen and en-
