MORROW-BASS CO. (INCORPORATED) 31-33 East Trade Street, Charlotte N. C. Don’t Forget our stock of Lace Curtains and Window Shades 0 MRS. MALLINCKRODT IDEAL T0A8TMI8TRE8S In the choice of Mrs. Harris Malllnc- krodt. the brilliant and popular wife of Rev. Harris Malllnckrodt, rector of 8t. Peter’s Episcopal church, as toast* m!stres;s of the Missionary Jubilee Uincheon yesterday, the committee ‘chcJwB wisely and well. H^r’s was the' dufy of “saying some thing nice” about each of the ladies chosen to give the toasts of the oc- ;cs8ion. That she gracefully, tactfully and cleverly did this, the public can -see from the following words introduc ing the speakers: ' “The Woman of Yesterday." Our first speaker comes from a devoted line of church workers, zeal ous in the cause of Christ. She Is al- • ready so well known to you for her own active interest In advancing wo man's work In the Master’s field that It is scarcely necessary for me to for mally introduce to you Mrs. Allan who will give a toast to the "Women of Yesterday**—"Mrs. Elizabeth Preston Allan. “The Woman of Tomorrow." Our next speaJcer Is from an institu tion of learning—Davidson College. Her husband has been deeply interest ed in promoting the Laymen’s Misslon- ar>' Movement. Mrs. Martin is equally desirous for the women of the church to become so thoroughly aroused to t^lr sense of missionary responsibility that the laggard of today may be come the missionary enthusiast of to- morrpw.—Mrs. W. J. Martin. “The Women of the Church." It has been said of her who Is to give the next toast, that whenever she gives one of her Inspiring talks she seems imbued with spiritual fire —may this fire enter into the hearts cf all “The Women of the Church.” It gives me grea4. pleasure to introduce to you Miss Miller of the Jubilee troup of speakers. “The Women Who Go.” The fame of Miss Etavies as a speak er has already preceded her arrival in this city. One who has heard her^— a speaker of note—has told how busi ness men who felt that they could spare but n few minutes of their time remained for over an hour spellbound ,undr her wonderful influence—they, as well as the women—enthralled. If she has such power to make men stay what must be her Influence when she says to women—go.—Miss Davies. “The Women to Whom They Oo." The tongue of a ready speaker has not been vouchsafed to us all—but, this among many other delightful at- tributee, has been given to Mrs. C. E. Mason, and we are proud of her. Shs will now give the toast to "The Wo men to Whom They' Go.” “The Women Who Walt." ^This toast will be given by one wcoee loving devotion in the Master’i cenrice is unusurpassed In this com in unity. Her untiring zeal for the cause cf missions is a lesson to each one of us. Some must go—others must work and pray while they wait. Among the women who wait In true spirit is Mrs. W. L. Nicholson. Beautiful Tribute. We are celebrating our Jubllea, Terrible Suffering Eczema AH Over Baby’s Body. “When my baby was four months old his face broke out with eczema, and at sixteen months of age, his face, hands and arms were in a dreadful state. The eczema spread all over his body. We had to put a ma*k or cloth over his face and tie up his hands. Finally we gave him Hood’s Sarsapa> rllla and In a few months he was en tirely cured. Today he Is a healthy boy.” Mrs. Inez Lewis, Baring, Maine. Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures blood dis eases and builds up the system. Oet it today in usual liquid form or chocolated tablets called Ssutoatabs. but she who is now to speak to you has for many more than fifty years untiringly labored in the cause of mis sions at home and abroad. She was a leader among the women of yester day. She is a power among the women of today, and may she live long to be an inspiration to the women of tomor row; she whom we call God’s best. ■Mrs. Jane Wilkes. To Mrs. Qibbon. An unexpected but richly deserved toast was proposed by Mrs. C. E. Ma son, mistress of JuUlee ceremonies, to Mrs. Robt. L. Gibbon, to whom Charlotte was indebted for having the Jubilee. In very happy words Mrs. Mason expreseed appreciation of Mrs. Gibbon’s “untiring efforts, energy and zeal,” and "but for whom,” as shei very truthfully said, “Charlotte would not have had this glorious Jubilee.” The s^timent was enthusiastically ap plauded.
