NAM. .She went to the movies one day
last week atid lost her watch. She re
turned to tlu‘ theatre several hours
later ami found it in the seat she
had occupied.
In ex))laining how the money was
expended, Pearson and Allen said that
two large PWA power projt'cts wen
granU'd in South Carolina to
Byrnes with his constituents.
During the Mst presidential cam
paign, Repuh!icans charged that finl-
eral funds were heing,Atoi*s4»-4fi-^many
doubtful states to swing them into
line for Democratic candidates. But a
majority of the 'people did not take
this charge serTously, heeause of its
source.
The authors of “Washington .M<*rry-
Go-Round," however, are not partisan
Republicans, seeking to diser<*<irt and
<lestroy the Roosevelt administration.
If the government would have spent
j this money in South Carolina had
1 there been no opposition to Byrnes in
j his capipaign for the senate, Mr. Ickes
j "knows all at>out that, too,
I Thousands of people in the United
'States States believe what they read
jin “Washington Merry-Go-Round."
They have confidence in the accuracy
jof the reporting done by Drew Pear-
, son and Robert S. Allen in the nation-
^ al capital.
'If their statement about expendi
tures in South Carolina goes unan-
swere<l, a vast multitude, who, in 1936,
refused to believe that the Roosevelt
admini.stration was playing politics
with government appropriation.s will
bt*come convinced that the Republi
cans were right.
That would be a tragedy, F’or mil
lions of people w’ho have trusted the
Roosevelt admini.stration would not
only find their confidence in it de
stroyed, but they would also find
their faith in our democratic form of
governn'Tent shaken to its foundation.
Every citizen who thinks at all is
bound to know that no government
can long endure which spends money
in the way Pearsoti and .Allen say
ai^ji federal appropriations were expended
in South Carolina. ^

TO SWING INTO SPRING
Anti “.swing” indeed Ls the most fitting word, hecau.'^e the new silhouette
has many striking features that are nothing short of revolutoiiary.
A decidetl “swing” away from fashions that have gone be
fore. Now we see in dresses the Gypsy, Rumba,
Gaucho; the. “Balloon” silhouette and the Gib-
. son Girl. Waistlines that are nipped in,
and skirts that billow. All new,
smart, flattering and most
comfortable.
SUITS:
The man tailored
type, jackets a little
longer this year. And with this
year^ color-eonsciousness, the “lit
tle soft suit” comes along impor
tantly. These suits have all kinds
of cute iXH’kets, shorter jackets
and imaginative detail to flatter
the girl who is semi-tailored. In
exquisite soft colors, they are real
ly different. Three-piece suits and
costume ensembles were never
lovelier, especially in the fur-
trimmed groups. Then there are
reofer-suit$; a fitted coat and skirt
.. . and shortie suits; jj.igger-length
iHxxy jacket and skirt . . . and the
long l)ox coats with .skirt. And oh.
such a variety of materials arui
colors. Right now il.s suit sea.son,
and the styles have never before
been so varied and so fascinating.
r'O AXQ» great
1 vogue for suits, wo
men have come to realize that a
M’ardrbbe is not complete without
a coat for dressy or for casual
wear. And the welcome news in
regard to the new coat.s we are
showing is their universal becom
ingness awT^svTit. The straight,
narrow boxy coat is the predomi
nating favorite, designed frequent
ly with tuxedo front. It’s showm
sometimes with center button.^,
.'^onietimes with- a little collar,
sometimes with no collar at all if
designed to wear with separate
fur pieces. Then there are reefer
coats and other styles . ^lore.
Tweed is a smart newcomer in
coat fabrics, flecked like confetti
in lovely pastels, giant plaids, neat
window’-palie patterns, bold stripes,
cereal tw’eeds, homespun tweeds
... all contributing to the new
tweed fashion. A. very welcome
change from the fleecy type coats.
This spring everything is gay , .. gay in color,'gay in motion, itats worn
with an audacious tilt, with colored veils tied in dashing ways.
Dress accessories in tune with the gay season. Our store
brings you a brilliant panorama of exciting
spring fashions at their best. You’ll
be anxious to see them . . . and
we cordially invite you
—^ * to come. ' J ■
