FESTIVAL IN
EARLY MAY
PROPOSED
Style Show Suggestion is DitChed; Too Late
10 Garry Out Plan; New Move
Launched al Meeting Of
Merchants

There will be no style show ii Chick
asha as planned some time ago, but
in its place May festival will prob
ably be staged.
This was the decision reached at a
meeting of merchants held at the c.
& +. bureau headquarters last even
ing.
After some discussion it was general
ly agreed that the season is too far ad-
yanced to make the style show plan
a success. Practically all present ia
vored the idea and the suggestion was
advanced by several that it should be
carried out next year, arrangements
being made early.
The May festival move was proposed
by i. Erich and at once met with
general favor. A committee was ap
pointed to work out a program, with
details of plans for the fete which
would probably continue two or three
days, and this committee will report
at a meeting of all merchants in the
city, to be held, it is hoped. within
q week. 1t is understood that the
Woman's college is planning an elab
crate May Day celebration and it is
thought that the entertainment to be
given there will fit well into the
plans which the merchants have under
way
VIM. Reinheimer, president of the
Retailers association, presided oyel
the meeting last night and the bushes:
firms were fairly well represented
Mr.. Reinheimer made a good talk, urg
ing the necessity for more unity O
action among the merchants in pro
noting the trade interests of tht
