Apropos of Leo Feist's recent window dress-
ing competition, Messrs. Helf & Hager send an
interesting picture of a window exploiting their
well-known song, "When It's Moonlight, Mary
Darling, 'Neath the Old Grape Arbor Shade," by
Bartley Costelloe and J. Fred Helf. The Cable

the window in question, which is tastefully
dressed, although its full value does not appear
in the photograph. Incidentally, it may be said,
that Helf & Hager have just published two new
songs which are attracting some notice. One is
