Miss saran riouston, who is in charge of this department, has been posted daily wiui the New York mar ket and every new stvle with the latest designs have been added to her list. The added space for the trimmers and designers has been a great conveni ence to them; and for future use it is assured that orders will be executed promptly. The store was closed today, but inside the young ladies who will show the hats tomorrow have been busy decorating. The color scheme will be mainly in one color, yellow; though there will be a liberal profu sion of Easter lilies and other fragrant cut flowers.

Hot, deep fat is the first re quisite for perfect f frying. The. food must be submerged, and it must be seared quickly before the grease can soak in or the juices can soak out. Then it will cook tender, juicy, wholesome. There is no way to do this with lard. It will burn before it reaches the proper tempera ture. All the dyspeptics in the world have been trying to do this for ages. They are dyspep tics still. GOLDEN GLORY COOKING. OIL is "the faultless frying fat." It gets hotter, goes farther, costs less. You can strain it and use it over and over again. AS A BUTTER SAVER No pudding, entree or sauce is just right without the addi tion of a delicate fat to give it "richness." Italian and French cooks surpass in such dishes. THEY USE OIL American ccoks use butter. This is a richness which makes for poorness. GOLDEN GLORY COOKING OIL is better than butter for most of these dishes. One quart of GOLDEN GLORY COOKING OIL costs $0.25 Three lbs. cooking butter costs $1.05 SAVE MONEY USE GOLDEN GLORY COOKING OIL All grocers. BRANNON CAR DONATING CO. 8 Charlotte, N. C. Box 25.
