Barbour's voice is a beautiful, warm, well
trained soprano, flexible and rich with
dramatic possibilities. The program af-
forded great scope for dramatic, rhyth-

YULETIDE TRADE
LOOKSPROMISING
Retail Merchants Say Holiday
Business VIII Be Un-
precedented.
"SH0P EARLY" SLOGAN
Secretary Columbus States $4,000, 600
Has Been Expended in Store I'm
provements by Business Men.

The impression among the retail mer-
Chants OF Washington, fast growing into
conviction, is that the fall and Christ
mas trade here will be Of unprecedented
proportions. This sentiment is an OUT
growth of the present demand for mer-
chandise that is usually sold closer to
the holiday period. ..
Just at the present time the Washing
ton stores are wonderfully well prepared
to handle the expected large fall and
Christmas trade.
THE merchants of Washington have
made very elaborate preparations to
handle the fall trade Secretary Column
bus. of the Retail Merchants Associ-
alton, states, land certainly they have
never appeared to better advantage than
at this time.
AT least 100000 have been expended
by the Washington merchants during the
last summer in store improvements and
new fixtures to the end that the National
Capital may take its place in the fore
front as a retail shopping center"
Shop Early Warming.
The suggestion has again been put for
ward to do Your Christmas Shopping
Early" This movement is logically a
universally popular one, since 1t is in
the interest of all classes of people. The
hasty buying incident to the closing
usually tends toward Observation-Disclosures
and delays that make the experience any
thing but an agreeable one.
The business men of Washington gen.
orally are deeply interested in the hear
ing to be had before the Board of Dis
trict Commissioners Tuesday morning at
10 o'clock on the proposition Of the bet
ter lighting of the business streets in the
downtown, district.
The board of governors of the Retail
Merchants Association, at its meeting
Thursday evening, heartily indorsed the
report of the street lighting by Chairman
George L. Topham, and it is expected
that a large representation of business
men will be present at the hearing. 1t Is
declared that the desire Of the mer-
chants is for the immediate installation
of better equipment along Pennsylvania
Avenue, F and G Streets, and New York
Avenue.
The report of the operation Of the cred
it and collection department has accord
ed great enthusiasm among the members
of the association. Secretary Columbus
is preparing to mail copies OF this re-
port to the entire association.
