St. Ma,tinville is struck with a
wave of morality similar to the one
which passed over Opelousas some

joyable social events in the history
of our town was the informal dance
given on Friday, January IS, at the
Cottage Hotel. The warmth of a
most genial hospitality was evinced
by the charming hostesses, Mes

Misses Young and l.ittell. The
dance music was furnished by i
quartette of travelling musicians
whose efforts. to judge from the

The last meeting of the Five
O'clock Tea Club was held at the
home of Miss Bessie Cornay, who
proved a most gracious hostess.
After the business program was
dispensed with there followed q
unique game, in which that almost

innocent looking hat-pin, figured
consticuously. The first prize was
awarded Mrs. N. p. Moss, the
BOBBY fell to the lot of Mrs. f. !.

The ice factory which has no,
been in use for some time will be in
full operation the coming season.
Mr.. p. L. Philips, of Tyler, Texas,

out the plant and Mr.. Clegg will be
manager of it. The Gazette is glad
to- see signs of improvement all
around US and that is certainly an
encouraging one. Mr.. Philips has
already been connected with the
ice plant, and he is known to be 4
man of business tact and ability.
Mr.. Clegg will take an active in
terest in the, concern and will de-
vote his time to see it succeed. As
such an enterprise is badly needed
in our town, there is no doubt but
that it will prove a successful bust
ness venture.

The Women of Paris are Very
Beautiful.

The Women Of Paris are Very
Beautiful.
II like the way the French take
their amusements," writes MISS
Lillian Bell, in a letter from Paris
to the February Ladies' Home
Journal, CAT the theatre they
laugh and applaud the wit of the
hero and hiss the vlllai'.. They
shout their approval of duel and
weep aloud over the death of the
aged mother. When they drive in
the Bois they smile and have an air
quite at variance with
the-bored expression Of English and
Americans who have enough money
to own carriages. We drove in
Hyde Park in London the day be-
fore We came to Paris. and nearly
wept with sympathy for the I'M
spoken grief in the faces of the un-
fortunate rich who were at such
pains to enjoy themselves. I never
saw such handsome men as saw
in London. never saw such
beautiful women as I see IN Paris.
French men are Insignificant as 4
rule, and English women are beefy
and dress like rag bags"

This was amusing to those who are

degree before it can ever hope to
reach Carencro in this regard, much
less excel it. Carencro will ship
between 1900 and 5000 bales this
