The indoor high-light of Pine-

olina Hotel ballroom, took place
Monday evening in the presence
of an audience filling the big room
to capacity.
With a long and distinguished
list of patrons and patronesses and
other guests insuring the financial
success of the show, the Guild of
St. Joseph-of-the-Pines and the
Moore County Hospital Auxiliary
will divide a checks for about $3,-

A black and white plaid dress of
cotton with white sequins and a
Hattie Carnegie dress of green-

Traina Norelle’s baby dress
model was well-received, made of
old fashioned little roses scat
tered on a white background, with
little-boy collar and little-girl sash
of pink taffeta, with hdge bow in

this demure little girl style is one
of the important trends this
spring. It is also notable that long
evening gowns are in demand for
balls and other formal occasions,
but the short evening gown re
mains a popular choice. Some
have strapless bodices, but more
have straps or shoulders covered.
Big taffeta bows and sashes and
floating panels are much in evi

the evening clothes, among them

embroidered with gold and silver
from Traina Norelle. The full
skirt was banded with gold as
were the high neckline and arm
holes.
A powder blue tucked cham-
bray with inserts of matching
straw lace brought much applause
when worn by Mrs. H. F. Frank.
Many of the dresses showed the
strong influence of t}ie Empire

tened mid-riff section. One of
these from Pauline Trigere was
worn by Mrs. Thomas J. Brogan,
Jr., of Ridgewood, N. J., a jonquil-
colored linen with a huge, shal
low-crowned yellow straw, scat
tered over with jonquils. Show
ing the same line was a gray Ital
ian cotton from Suzanne Augus
tin with flower embroidered de
tail at the throat and a gray tis
sue taffeta stole, with one sleeve,
worn by Mrs. Dwight Winkelman
of Southern Pines and Syracuse,
N. Yv
The popular separates were
shewn in a new version by the
Ferguson twins, Mrs. Vernon
Cardy and Miss Helen Ferguson,
well-known in riding circles. The
dresses were not identical, but
served to complement each other.
The bouffant skirts of pale blue
organza and camisole top, trim
med with lace and irridescent se
quins, were worn with matching
cashmere sweaters echoing the
lace and glitter trim.
For the finale of the showing,
the ten models wore long evening
gowns and carried American
Beauty roses which they tossed to

TO
ELECTRICITY
and Enjoy the Difference!
r
MRS. MARION C. HOLLAND of 1313
Pork Ave., Goldsboro, soys; “I think my
Electric range is much cleaner than any
other type of cooking, and also much
easier because of constant heat. I can
depend on my oven to cook my meal
while I am at Church."
A
IBi
MRS. W. L. HOLLOMAN of 1600 E.
Elm St., Goldsboro, soys; "After replac
ing my gas stove with an Electric Range,
my electric bill increased only about a
dollar a month. I now enjoy a fumeless
kitchen which is cleaner and cooler."
This particular Difference is the modern
way for you to get rid of flames, fumes,
soot, grime and ashes, permanently!
Switch to the clean comfort of matchless
Electric Cooking . . . and enjoy the
Difference!
More than half the families in our serv
ice area have learned from experience
that it costs less to live electrically. They
hove found that when you cook, heat
water, and perform other household
chores with electricity, the total bill is
less than when you perform these same
tasks using various types of fuel. As you
put electricity to work for you in more
and more ways, the more you benefit
through the advantages offered by the
bottom steps of the rate.
Some of these families who live elec
trically, are your neighbors. You can
take their word for it. Just ask them:
"What's the Differp- e when you cook
Electrically?" Two Iheir answers are
here for you to read. They help prove
this point . . . When you cook Elec
trically, there is a Difference—and you'll
enjoy it!
