the Jewelry house of Bchwarsschlld Broa and chairman of the publicity commlttsa of the Retail Association speaking yesterday ef the bright prospects of carrying to a successful conclusion the plans for tho fashion week's display and united openings said: could not pull off anything great In Richmond without the help of tha newspapers and that Is a help wa can always count on if tho thing to be pulled off Is worthy of Richmond and to the Interest of the city and tha bualneaa of the city When thla united opening scheme for the four days beginning Heptember 21 and continuing to and through September 2S was first agitated we felt that we could count on the assistance snd the boosting ability of the pres and wa have not bean disappointed Just as soon as tha newspaper men looked far enough Into the plane to be sure it waa a schema for the advancement of Richmond's Interest thsy came right In with enthusiasm and they are with us heart and soul That Is enough of itself to guarantee success if we merchants db our part and wt Mr Bchwarsschlld says it is gratifying to observe the good team work that all of the merchants are putting In He thinks the fashion show la going to be one of the biggest things Richmond has ever pulled off and that It will be indeed a show that will be worth going miles to see for every retail merchant seems determined to make a better display and make his house more attractive than his neighbor with every man trying to roach the top rung of the ladder In the matter of making a fine and profitable show It may be set down as a fact that all of the other rungs will be something truly great Go where you may on Broad Street or on Main Street or any of the other streets where a retail bualneaa is done and you will not be able to get the merchants to talk of much else but tha fashion show and the great things that are being done to mqke It the most attractive thing of Its Richmond ever took a hand In To give an idea of how effectively team work Is being brought to bear there Is really a contest among the merchants of one claes to outdo those of other classes for Instance the dry goods men are putting their heads together and actually among themselves to outdo tha millinery people and the Jewelry people and the furniture people and the ether classes whit each of these classes are against other classes each putting forth efforts to make his class the leader 'And all of this Is being done In the friendliest kind of spirit and Incidentally the merchants are having a good deal of fun out of the Truly the Richmond fashion show beginning

sundered by the divorce court The name fitsgeorge may be translated ae non of and in this connection It may be mentioned that the natural children of royal personages in England usually bear ths name of their royal father prefixed by the word Thus the large tribe of Illegitimate children of King William IV by the actress Mra Jordan widely known 1a her day as Dolly Bland bore the name of Flta-clarencc owing to the fact that at the time of their birth their father was the Duke of Clarence The patronymic of the nonagenarian Duke of Grafton and also of Lord Southampton Is FItsroy which together with the bend sinister serose the royal arms of England accorded to them ae their heraldic device servos to indicate that the first Duke of Grafton was the illegitimate son of Charles II ths or King by Barbara VUller Duchess of Cleveland Emperor Nicholas last spring bestowed upon his two eldest daughters the colonelcies of a regiment of the Third Husaara and of the Third Lancers rrypcctlvely and during ths course of the summer their photographs garbed in tha uniform of these two crock corps havo been widely published on this side of the Atlantic A fortnight ago tho Csar held a big review at Kraenoe-Hele near St Petersbuig dirlng the course of which Grand Duchess Olga who la not quite eighteen and Grand Duehees Tatiana who is a little ever sixteen led their respective regiments past the Emperor first at a trot and then at a gallop As they are both very wholesome attractive girls splendid eauestriennes and look particularly fnclnatlng In their uniform thla military debut of theirs was the feature of the pageant For those women and young girls In this country who insist on riding astrfde I iray add' that the two grand duchesses at the review used side saddles and skirts the latter being of the same hue as the gold-laced tunic of their uniform and Just showing the top of the boot They saluted not with their swords but with their riding whips and whlla Olga wore the busby of the Hueears Tatland's head waa coifed with the exapka of the Lancers Sovereigns are theoretically brothers and slstere and In official communications address one another ae such Privately when they are the same age they address each other as couelna This la only natural since they are all more or less nearly allied to one another by ties of klnemanshlp Where the difference of the age is great the seniors are addressed ae uncle and aunt even when these titles are not warranted by the degree ef relationship Thus Queen Victoria during the latter part of her life was addressed as by all the younger generation of sovereigns and princes and princesses of the blood George and Queen Mary are therefore perfectly Justified In having caused the centrepiece of the magnificent silver
