Introducing
HENRY P. AMOS
Forty-five years experience in one
line of business should certainly
give one a proficiency to be ob
tained in no other way. Add to
that a repute
tion for good
work and you
have an unfail-
W Ing formula for
W w success. This is
"T* V» the record of
Wat Henry P. Amos,
- Jgß of H. P. Amos
and Son. paint

rators. whose

EgU Building.
Mr. Amos
Wa'-h-
J?'.‘ ' ■if IK'OU t h irt> -tix e
BBSS years ago and
HENRY F. amos established hi •
own bus! ness
five years later. He now has a
•on, William P. Amos, associated
with him.
The firm’s painstaking work has
added materially to the attractive
nets of many buildings of ths Na
tion’s Capital, and each new under
taking has helped to build for them
the public confidence which they
now enjoy and which they have
so truly earned.
Mr. Amos was born in ' Madison,
N. C., May 23, 1862.
Look for the announcement of
H. P- Amos and Son in the “Who’s

NEWS AND GOSSIP OF CAPITAL SOCIETY
Committee of Washingtonians Organized to Sponsor
Metropolitan Opera's Brilliant Forthcoming “Jteason’ ’
Impressive List of Pro
ductions Promised; So
cial Events Incidental
to Opera
An executive committee of
prominent Washington men
and women -has been or
ganized to sponsor the lo
cal appearances of the

month, and the members of
the committee are planning
to make this “opera week”
the climax of an exceptional
ly brilliant social and musi
cal season in this city.
Co-operation Requested
The committee has addressed
a request to a number of Wash*
ingtonians of social prominence
asking their co-operation in that
respect and suggesting the de
sirability of arranging the
social calendar for the week >f
April 15, when the Metropolitan
will be heard here, in such
fashion that there will be no
conflicts with the Metropolitan
performances.
Schedule Interesting
The operatic schedule, which
provides for two evening perform
ances —“Norma,” on Wednesday,
April 18, and “Tannhauser” on
Saturday, April 21—and for two
matinees, “Boris Godunoff” on
Thursday, April 19, and “Romeo
and Juliet” on Saturday, April
21, has been arranged in order
that the evenings of the latter
part of the week may not be
monopolised, and also in order to
give the many Washingtonians
who are accustomed to after
noon musical events their oppor
tunity to attend matinees.
This efiming season is the sec
ond annual visit of the Metro
politan Opera Company to Wash
ington since its resumption of
presentations here, and last year’s
performances were so brilliant,
socially and artistically, that so
ciety awaits the company’s re
turn with great interest.
