By .1 I'Ll A McNINCH SLEAR
Last week end was such a whit!
that we are just now finding time
t0 write about it. Slightly on the
rusty side since Lent, the Canital’j
social calendar is back again in
it's pre-war groove and is spinning
the afterglow of an Easter —the
most perfect within the memory
of our oldest Washington-North
Carolinian.Th ere was the tradition
al' sunrir.se service at Arlington,
X;,; Heels and their visitors, by
the score, climbing out at the
crack o' dawn to participate. Ana
(here was the gala Easter parade
_the first real one in six years—
■hat got off to an early start and
gave Washington the appearance
0f an overturned Easter basket, as
the throngs in flowers, furs and fin
ery sauntered down the bright sun
drenched avenues of the town.
There were services, too, in the
hospitals with William B. Guyer
Phm. 3-c, John R. Ellington, Phm.
3-c and dozens of other young
Naval chaps taking part at the

... And both your hearts are singing!
The church, the wedding, even the bri
dal bouquet will live forever in your
memory. The flurry of rice showering
over your heads. Then the gay, glorious
unforgettable honeymoon. No matter
where it may be these are memories
you'll cherish always.
But the dream-life finally comes to an
end and back home again to settle down
to the making of a living. Yes, toil and
troubles might then come your way,
but there will always be the brighter,
gayer side to offset them.
... And speaking of a home .., When it comes time
for you to select your furnishings you'll want pieces that
will last through the years and as time passes, become
dearer than ever. Of course this isn't possible unless the
pieces you select are rich in quality and possess ever
popular styling. We have a large selection of room outfits,
home outfits, sofas, lounge chairs, lamps, and other need
ed items. Won't you come in and see them?
