of general hardware and he, too, bought
large bill.
s'And in the matter of insurance. the old
gentleman continued. 'sThat is also of
importance. You will want risk your
new house. and goods; then you can't do
more sensible thing than take out $4,000
life policy in the Equitable. My friend,
Felix Mouton, not only represents the
Equitable Life, but he also has large list
of fire companies, all of which belong to the
old reliable category, being well known for
their prompt and satisfactory adjustment; of
losses. It's better to be safe than sorry
and you'll surely be safe in the Felix
Mouton agency. Cause he is an expert and
trustworthy. underwater Charley agreed
to attend to the insurance matter at his
earliest convenience.
While Uncle Josh bordering where
to go next, Evangeline suddenly asked:
Uncle, where can find the leading mil
lnery establishment" s.Just around
ST. John street near the Catholic church,
remarked Uncle Josh, Sand we will visit
Mrs. w. B. Bailey who, by the way, has
hand one of the completest stocks of spring
millinery to be found in the city. You can
get what you want there, the latest styles
and lowest prices being her motto. Mrs.
Bailey's good taste and experience guaran-
tees that when you have purchased OF Mrs.
Bailey's you have the thing according to
the fashion and satisfaction that your work
has been done by competent artist In
a few minutes there never was a happier
girl than Evangeline, for she got 'sperfect
dream Of Easter hat and the bill didn't
scare Uncle Josh, either.
Woman like, Evangeline was discussing
with the Inilliner the matter of how she
would arrange her new house and was in
terrup,ed by Uncle JOSH 'sAnd those house
fiNin's remind me- said he, ssthat you
haven't got your dishes yet. Now, to my
notion the best place in town to buy them
will be Felix DeManades grocery store.
There isn't positively, a thing in the line of
crockery, glass porcelain needed for use
ornament in any part of the house that
can not be found OF Felix DeManade's in
indefinite variety and at wonderfully low
prices.' He also has a splendid stock of
lamps of every description and groceries in
abundance. Evangeline's big order sug-
gested her thorough appreciation.
"And another place wish to take you,
children, is to the Pelican grits and meal

plete without. My friend, Geo. A. DeBlanc
has just put up new factory building and
equipped it with new machinery, and I tell
you he makes mighty fine gri,s and meal
