In an address at Washington, N.
c., Monday night, Vice President
Marshall said: "If the alarm of war
will take US away from our great
love of money and will bring US a
little nearer to the God of our faith
ers, it will be worth all that it costs
the American people" And who shall
say that the Honorable Thomas Riley
is not right about that?

Display of Spring Styles at Store of
R. 3. Caldwell & Son
The spring, millinery opening at
the store Of Messrs. R. D. Caldwell
& Son Thursday and Friday was at
tended by hundreds Of ladies. Be-
meath the great bowers of ferns one
could see hats of unusual charm and
beauty peeping out from under the
foliage beckon to the onlookers
ooh! wont you try me on'-and they
did try them on! Many pleasant re-
marks were made by the ladies, such
as "They are just lovely" "They are
so much prettier than they were last
season." etc. The entire store was
beautifully decorated for the occas-
ion with spring foliage, giving touch
of lovely springtime.
In tailored hats the predominating
styles are the mushroom, made up in
lovely braid, combined with crepes
with beads and straw ornaments.
There very striking turn-up models
trimmed with quilts and fancy rib
bons could be seen. This seasons
styles are most interesting as there
is such broad variety to choose
from.
Saturday was the day for the chill
dren's opening. This was the first
time the children of Lumberton have
been given this distinction and it
proved great success.
This progressive firm will have it's
second showing Friday, Saturday and
Monday, March %, "a and 26. The
! Gage models are expected for this
occasion.

Beautiful Display of Spring Models
at the STYLE ShOp

There was something about the
Style shop-the new millinery store
of which Hiss Amelia Linkhauer is
proprietress, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday that made it almost impos-
sible for lady to pass that way
without going and taking a look
and that something was a most beau
tiful display of new-brand new
spring models in millinery. These
were the days of spring showing at
the Style shop-and the styles were
there. Perhaps no more beautiful dis
play of headwear has ever been
shown on any occasion in Lumber
ton than was on display there dur
ing the three-days's showing. It was
beautiful sight. This new store was
artistically decorated with pink, green
and white flowers-natural flowers of
springtime. Many compliments on
the attractiveness and splendor of
the new millinery store were heard
during the showing and Miss Link
hauer says her opening was grand
success in every way. Many hats
were sold.
