NAMING MOUNT VERNON

Mount Vernon, the home OF
George Washington, got It's name
from the Vernon family of which
the British admiral, Edward Vernon,
who died in 1857, was member.
What is now Alexandria got its
first name, "Grog Harbor," from the
nickname Of that same admiral.
"Old Grog." cognomen that would
hardly be understood in these days
and times.
The name Of the village was later
changed to Tobacco Warehouse,
tken to Belle Haven, and finally to
Alexandria, in honor of the Alexan,
der family, many of whose descend
ants are now living in Alexandria
and Washington.

''The removal OF all restrictions on the

Ostrich Feathers Inactive.

Manufacturers Of ostrich and coque
feather novelties are experiencing
further slack business because of the In
c~easing vogue for Spanish and spaugle

tcnsively in novelty combs, earrings and
fans reports the ostrich feather novelty
articles as being a dead issue, with no
sign of their revival for at least the
next two seasons. Spanish radium eff
fects in all kinds Of novelty effects,
however. are being bought literally by
OH. of town buyers for the spring and the
summer seasons. Lace fans in, all colors,
trimmed with iridescent spangles. are
selling most actively. The demand Is
for medium priced merchandise.

A novel explanation for present short
handed buying of hosiery dealers is
given by local jobber. He states that
uncertainty regarding styles and color
shades causes the average merchant to
hesitate to place advanced orders. The
few shades that have popular approval,
however. are said to be selling rapidly.
The Easter season is expected to de-
velop an extraordinary demand in shops
for summer light shades OF better
grades. Retailers believe that the ex-
tent to which wool and wool silk hosiery
were worn last winter will react favor
ably on silk sales when women start to
shop for summer merchandise.
