For crowds on the streete and busi
ness done In the stores. Monday was
the record-breaker of the Christmas
shopping days. The change In the
weather resulted Immediately In a great
Increase In tho Christmas trade, so
that the people fairly swarmed Into the
business district from early morning
straight on throughout the day.
The merchants were unusually cheer
ful Monday, for they have the prospect
of good business ahead. After all, tha
"llnanclal flurry’’ Is not half as trou
blesome to them as a downpour of rnln
or a northeast wind. They had diffi
culty handling the crowds Monday, hut
did not complain.
It waa difficult walking on Whitehall
during the shoplpng hours, owing to the
throng of people going each way. If
two persons met and endeavored to
hold conversation on the sidewalk a
blockade resulted inn and the
offenders were very likely swept off
their feet by the advance of the crowd.
The Inevitable Christmas bundle was
to be seen everywhere—all sizes,
shapes, colors and kinds. Some women
l$:d prepared themselves with net bags,
which they tilled to the muzzle. Oth
ers waddled along beneath enormous
packages. One woman was followed by
a llttlo negro boy with a pile- of pack-
agea rising like a mountain peak from
his head.
In the atorea tha crush Impeded the
E rngress of any person who dared to
urry. The clerks worked under full
Christmas steam, selling stuff as fast
as they could take orders. Around
some counters lines of would-bo pur
chaser* waited to catch the eye of the
■aleaman.
Monday marks the beginning of tho
end of the Christmas shopping. There
are but seven more shopping days, and
during these half the population of
Atlanta will be out present hunting.
