Everybody knows the story of the
boy who saved his first 500, stocked
up a shop in a side street, which
grew, and grew. and grew until said
boy became a merchant prince. and
gave away drinking fountains and
hospitals and good advice.
But a score or more of Washington
women have written different sort
Of story. 1t has not yet found its
way into print. 1t Is the story OF the
plucky young woman who also open
ed a store, fought the prejudices or
her own sex. withstood the ostracism
OF men in the same business. built
up a substantial concern, and hither-
to has been pretty generally un-
honored and unsunC.
Not only has she followed in the
footsteps of men to the top 1InG
of the business ladder. Just as she
has Wed with men in the professions,
but she intimates with shy smile.
she believes certain phases Of the
retail business are better suited TO
her capacity for details.
New Sort of Heroine.
This new sort of Oliver Optic
heroine land there are nearly thirty
of her in real life in the CapitaD
started in the days when merchants
on the same street We're in n contin-
uous state of feud. and would not
pass on the same sidewalk. and
now she has arrived at the day
when merchants. like countries. not
only will mediate, but viii strive
earnestly to cooperate.
And instead of the old-time ostTa-
cism for the business woman, her
male colleagues now are holding out
the right hand of business fellowship
to her-as witness the women's sec
ton. newly formed. or the Retail
Merchants Association-and asking
her to join them in mutual aid prof.
ects. But that is getting ahead Of
the story.
There was no helping hand held out
when Mrs. Whelan or Mrs. T. Rose
opened small shops in + street more
than twenty-five years ago. oetore
there was any great indication that
+ street was to become one or the
chief retail business streets Of the
city.
About the same time another wom-
an, Miss May J. Boyd. a hair dresser.
hung up a sign a little farther up +
street. These women displayed the
first requisite for business success,
the ability to pick a location with
future possibilities. And it was no:

blaze the way into what was then

Moonlight Excursions
Popular Summer Outing

Among the most enjoyable excursions
in and about Washington are the moon
light trips every evening of the palatial
steamer ST. Johns. Leaving her wharf
at the foot of Seventh street at Z o'clock.
the big steamer starts down the river,
passing historical Alexandria, Port
Washington, Marshall Hall, Mt. Yer
non. and on to Indian Head, where a
turn is made and the homeward journey
started. An orchestra on the boat af-
fords an opportunity for tho dancing
enthusiasts. while a cafe is operated to
accommodate those wishing dinner or
other refreshments. The ST. Johns
makes its regular weekend trips on
Saturdays at 2:10 p. m. and Sundays at
Q a. IN, returning Sunday at abort IL
| p. m. The excursionists are given an
excellent outing to enjoy the salt wa
ter bathing, fishing. Grabbing, boating.

twenty-seven years ago. she pushed
even farther north and opened ner
millinery store in C street. She
helped blaze the way on a thorough
fare which now has become a recoS-
nized center of millinery trade. and
in c. street alone are located half
a dozen millinery stores, while as
many more are located on numbered
streets just off G street.
In some cases women have fallen
heir TO business places left them.
upon the death of their husbands,
and in these circumstances they
have taken hold of the management
and kept on developing the houses
left under their propriecorship.
Not only millinery. women's fur
nisbiny, hair dressing. china, and
art stores are run by women, but
they have entered the field usually
occupied by men and now are 70 be
found operating candy stores. provi-
sion markets. and even large news
stands and cigar stores.
An Influx of Women.
Though womcn's place in the busi-
ness life Of tHa community dates
back nearly half century. there
has been an unusual influx OF wCm-
en- into business within the last
decade. Two OF tn" best equipped
and most progressive women's fur

are conducted by women. These are
the stores of Mrs. NJ. Brooks, AT llO9
G street. and that Of Mrs. Jamie
kafka, at Tenth and + streets.
Both these women are prime fig
urcs in the present movement for
wornen's section of the Retail Mer-
chants Association. which shall full
fill the same function :or business
women as the general association
does for business men.
1t was found that women were
averse TO attending the meetings OF
the men. though many of the firms
owned or controlled by women al
ready were members Of the associa-
ton. So last week A special meeting
for women was called and arrang,-
mrnts made for regular meetings Of
tho woman's section.
The object Of the woman's sectiCn
will be similar TO that Of the gen.
eral association. Blanks will be
filed out giving III" status Of credit
customers, and these blanks will be
accessible. to other women To wnom
these customers may apply tor
credit.

them and pushed or opposed, as their
interests dictate.
As in the case OF the men. the
women will pledge themselves to
submit to the association all solici-
tations for one-time advertising, so
that IT may be determined whether
the solicitor Is duly authorized. and
whether the medium is one deserv-
ing OF support. These questions are
looked into by the association and
their findings may be followed or
rejected by the individual members
as they please.
But Mrs. Brooks. chairman OF the
woman's section. outlined larger
aim of cooperation, especially al
fecting those in the women's fur
nishing or millinery business.

This Is a condition that only can

garments and where millinery of the

In the future Washington styles at

York styles. We hope to make 1t

Mrs. Brooks Is the proprietor of a
four-story store, and she has made
her establishment one or the most
modern in the city. with many
years experience in various capaci-
ties in other stores she opened her
own place nearly three years ago.
and has made a speciality OF wom-
ems outer garments.
She claims for her store the larg-

She is her own manager and buyer

Mrs. Kafka is the founder and pro-
