MEN'S CLUB OF
EPISCOPAl
SUBSCRIBED FOB
$1,000 WORTH OF
IIIK STAMPS
A most enthusiastic meeting of the
Mens Club of All Saint- p,,
, . "lion u,a
held last evening with Mr. D. C War
ner on South Florida avenue. Mr
Newton, from Providence, R I ad
dressed the Club and spoke on' the
seo.ogicai formation of the State of
Florida, choosing as his subject "The
Ups and Downs of Florida". Hi a.
dress was not only highly instructive
but also very humorous.
Each member and visitor was
called upon to give a talk of one min
ute on "What I have done, or what
1 will do, to help win the war." A
number of these talks included a
promise to purchase War Saving
Stamps. These were "followed up"
by the motion being made and carried
that the Men's Club organize itself
into a War Savings Society and sub
scribe for $1,000.00 worth of War Sav
ing Stamps. About half this amount
was in sight at the meeting, and the
balance will probably be subscribed
today as the officers of the War Sav
ings Society are now at work.
Those present at the meeting were:
Major Bentley, Messrs. Newton, Stev
ens, Moore, Holworthy, Hellier, Mil
ler, Trask, Maize, Woodward, Otey,
Tally, Curtis,- Dwelly. At the close
of the meeting, Mrs. Warner, Mrs.
Woodward, and the Misses Warner
served coffee and sandwiches to the
guests.
Mr. Newton, the guest of the Club,
left for Orlando at eleven-thirty to
day. He expressed himself as being
highly pleased with Lakeland and
particularly with the Collins Canning
Company, which he visited. He is
carrying with him to Brown Univer
sity a small quantity of "glass sand"
over 95 per cent silica which was
presented him by Mr. Collins and
which was taken from the large de
posits near Lakeland

Mr. J. D. Freer Delightfully
Entertained Friends With
a Stag Party
Last night Mr. J. D. Freer enter
tained a number of gentlemen with a
stag party, at his beautiful home
about two miles north of town. This
is an annual custom of Mr. Freer's,
and those fortunate enough to be fav
ored with an invitation look forward
to it with much pleasurable antici
pation, which the event always fully
justifies.
Mr. Freer has a lovely home, sur
rounded by fifty-five acres of splen
did grove, which he planted and has
brought into bearing, and which at
this time presents a sight of wonder
ful beauty and promise, the trees be
ing white with fragrant bloom, fore

A splendid supper was partaken of,
after which the guests enjoyed a
10 HAVE EACH
TAIN 11,000 WORTH
OF WAR STAMPS
The local chairman is glad to an
nounce that Lakeland has four citi
zens on the honor roll as having gone
"over the top" in their purchase of
War Savings Stamps. An effort will
be made to secure the consent, of
these people to the mention of their
names, not for their benefit, but for
the inspiration of others. By having
gone "over the top" means that each
of these citizens has purchased one
thousand dollars worth of War Sav
ings Stamps, which is the maximum
arcount allowed to be held by any
individual. Knowing the names of
these four, the chairman believe3
there are some others who may be
brought from under cover. Several
purchases of one hundred dollars
each were secured today and from
now on a more enthusiastic interest
Is going to be noticed in connection
with the purchase and sale of these
popular securities.

Saturday Afternoon, March 2d
At no former Opening have styles been more beautifully characteristic
of what fashionable women demand in new apparel. Certainly, never
before have serviceableness and style been so closely related in the
creation of smart garments and accessories.
To all women we extend a most cordial invitation to attend the Formal Opening
of Spring Displays and learn from a personal observation just how fittingly the
New Designs and Creations meet your individual taste in matters of Dress.
The New Spring Dresses
Are Extremely Pleasing.
Georgette, Taffeta, Crepe de Chine, Charmeuse,
original in styles, striking effects and popular
prices.
New Suits for Spring
Poney, Bolero, Eton and fingar-tip lengths, ex
ceedingly smut, in serge, tricotine, gabardine,
jersey, taffeta, shantung and silk poplin.
Many of the new coats are with vests extending
below the waist line, plain and fancy silks, as
well as pique are utilized for these vests.
White Suits in jersey, gabardine and serge just
received. Come in and see them.
The New Millinery
Is Full of Springtime Charm.
Originality marks the New Hats and gives them distinction. New
shapes are not as numerous perhaps as are the many variations of old
favorites in piquant Turbans, smart Mushrooms and
sleek looking Sailors.
