MOTHER GOOSE A LA MODE.
There once was a man with a iuar-
ter i.
Whf sa;d, "I've a very young daugh
ter, I'll buy her today
rA Thrift Card, and pray
It will make her grow up as she
oughter."
I saw a ship a sailing,
A-sailing on the sea,
Twas full of ammunition
For fighting Germany. .
And oh, but I was happy.
That I had done my share
.Through purchasing War Sayings
stamps
To send it "over there."
' There was a young school girl named
Nance
Who decided to bay War Savings
stamps,
f- She went to her teacher,
Bought stamps, a school feature,
For her brothers a:e in Uncle Sam's
. camps.
Sing a song oFTLTift stamps,
Pocket full of dough,
: Lend it to your country
And help the wr-fund grow.
When five years are over,
The U. S. government
Will give you-back your capital
Enriched by four per cent.
Mary, Mary, wise and wary,
How -does your Thrift Card grow?
Wry well. I'm glad to tell,
I've sixteen stamps all in a row.
Mary had a little card,
(Of Savines Stamps, you know),
And everywhere that Mary went
That card was sure to go.
And every time she earned some
change,
For dqing well at sclvol.
She'd save it for ar.other stamp,
And soon her boo was full.
"Why does she work so hard for
them?"
The other children cry,
"Because she's natiiot'c, dears,"
The teacher did reply.
Simple Simon met a pieman
Going on a spree,
Said Simple Simon. "Save instead,
Ad buy some fctamDs with me."
' Said the pieman to Simple .Simon
"What are thes2 Thrift Stamps
for?"
"To hlp you save your coin," said
Simp.'
"And help us win the war."
There once was a man who in fun
(Bought a War Saving Stamp for his
son, "'

At the rift from his dad. -
That his parent was glad he'd begun.

Beautiful and Complete Dis
play of Millinery; arid ReV;
dy-toWear. y i:
In the words oft' the poet,;VSpti&gJ
nas come, ui course, mere are uiue,
"doubting Thomases" who do not be-
Jieve the above statement, but air
you have to do tti be convinced is to
take a few minutes from your urgent
household duties and do a little "win
dow shopping" if you can't do any
other kind, and wht.n you see the dis
play of so much, spring finery you will
be convinced. There are some peo
pie that are just naturally born pessi
mists. They do not, believe in the
ground hog, and are loathe to leave
off their winter clothes, for they
"know that there will bo more winter
weather."
With the spring t'me upon us it is
but natural that the feminine mind
turn to that time-honored topic of
style, for nothing in the world so
completely fills the heart of a mere
woman as the thought of new spring
clothes. The shops of Wilmington
are full of the mojt beautiful" wear
ables in the world and never have the
styles been more beautiful. Many of
the merchants have been .delayed in
having their spring openings because
they have not been able to get their
goods here, on account of the freight
congestion, but most of the goods
have arrived and are now on display
at the various bus'ness houses.
HAS BIG DISPLAY.
One of the largest department
stores, Bon Marehe, is having its of
ficial spring opening, today and to
morrow. Mr. Lipinsky, manager of the store,
nad Mrs. Clowe, who is at the head
of the ready-to-wear department, stat
ed that they have the . largest and,
most complete assortment in ready
to wear, millinery and children's dress
es, that they have ever had at any
previous opening, and one can well
believe that when they see them on
display.
The Bon Marehe is one of the larg
est department sfves in North Car
olina, and one can always find just
what they want bete.
The first floor is devoted entirely
to piece goods, dress accessories,
house furnishings, and toilet articles,
and they have a full and complete
line of all these things.
On the second floor you will find
a full line of children's dresses from
the infants to flapper or junior sizes.
The most popular departments to
day were the millinery and ready to
wear on the third floor.
In the millinery department you
will find everything from the new
poke shapes to the mushrooms, tur
bans and large picture hats. Thoy
have on display a pretty array of tail
ored hats, both the Vogue and Bel
nor. They are also showing a variety
of large picture hnts of horse hair
braid and maline. The hats are beau
tiful this season and the Bon Marehe
has on display everything in the very
latest styles.
In the ready-to-wear department
everything to suit milady fair is to
be found. This department is just
teeming with the . most adorable
things to suit the most fastidious, and
never have the styles been more beau
tiful. Navy is the loading shade, with
the exception of black and wh'-Aj
checks. Foulard ani georgette cre
dresses are the verj thing this sea
son. The coat suits are strictly tail
ored and cut alonr: military lines,
which is becoming to the average
woman, while the smart Frenchy
frocks are too "fossy" and fancy for
words.
The store was ciowded all day
with lady shoppers some going 40b
look and see what is going to be worn
but the majority went to buy thiir
new Easter bonnets and dresses,
which every woman feels she has got
to have. These were all given the
most courteous treatment by the
obliging and efficeut clerks in the
employ of the Bon Marehe.
MR. HUTAFF APPOINTED,
Will Have Charge of All Supplies
Going to the Sick at Caswell.
Mr. George H. Hutaff has been ap
pointed director of military relief for
the Red Cross Society and will have
entire charge of this feature of the
work in the future. Miss May Phelps,
of Southport, has been asked to as
sist Mr. Hutaff.
The appointment was made by Mr.
Z. Bennett Phelps, director of the bu
reau of military relief for the south
ern division, Red Cross, with head
quarters in Atlanta. Mr. Hutaff has
given unsparingly of his time and
freely of his means along this line,
and his appointment is a splendid
recognition of his efforts.

VERSATILE MAE MARSH.
Another side t the vefsatile and
wonderful Mae Marsh. Beginning to
day she will be st en in "Fields of
Honor," a Goldw;n Picture version
of the popular Saturday Evening Post
story of the same name by the celer
brated American writer, Irvin S. Cobb.
"Fields of Honor" is a vital story of
a grim situation; rumblings of -the
European battlefields are heard in the
action, but the trempndous grip It has
on individual lives this side of the
water is shown with relentless truth.
A Mae Marsh with a soul . in an
guish, just as she became known to
all the World through her work in
"The Birth of a Nation" and "Intol
erance." is here in "Fields of Honor,"
following the totally different char
acterization she gave in the other
Goldwyn play, "The Cinderella Man'
Perhaps no greater iroof may be had
that Mae Marsh is able to express
any or all of the emotions, but
"Fields of Honor" gives her the great
er emotional range.
