SOCIETY NOTES.
BY OUR SOCIETY EDITOR, MATRoNlrA.

A typographical error in this |
column last week, gave to a Mr..
Hammer the credit due Mr.. |
John Haller for a generous gift
of some beautiful pictures toll
the M. C. B. Library Building. |
The pictures are photographs of |
our own lovely scenery in and
around Covington, taken by Mr.. |
Haller, who is an expert in the
art of scenic photography. Mr.. |
Haller's gift cannot be too high
ly commended, for outside of
the spirit of generosity which
prompted it, it evinces that dis
position to help on a worthy en-
deavor which distinguishes the
philanthropic mind and is such
an important factor in develop
ing the interests of the COM
munity. The library, which is
struggling to live and do good
among us was, as we all know,
established by the ladies of the
M. C. B., and is sustained by
their untiring efforts: We're it
not for them, Covington would
be without a library; and mod
est as is this collection of books,
it represents an earnest en-
deavor to attain an excellent
end. No modern town is COM
plete without a library, and a
good one, and no people can
progress very far educationally
without some means of helping
on those who are not fortunate
enough to possess books of their
own.
Therefore, these ladies de-
serve great credit for what they
have done and are doing to give
Covington a. library, and they
should be materially and unre-
servedly helped. We earnestly
trust that the Progressive Eu-
chre to be given by the ladies
of the NJ. C. B. for the library
fund this Saturday afternoon
will prove a marked success,
and be fully attended by it's
many well-wishers.
The Friday Afternoon Euchre
Club meets now on Monday. 1t
was pleasantly entertained by
Mrs. P. E. Theriot on March 16.
The first prize was won by Mrs.
Joseph Delery, the second by
Mrs. L. Magee, and the conso-
lation by Miss Edna Champagne
and the BOBBY by Miss Bloss-
man. The next meeting will be
at the home of
Mr.. VIM. McA. Fayssoux was
a visitor to Covington during
the past week, and was the
guest of his sister, Mrs. R. G..
Hadden, in Louisiana street.
DR.. J. R. M. Dillon has been
camping near Dixon Academy
for the past two weeks. This
free-from-care camp life is most
alluring; and now that the skies
are blue, the sun bright, the
nights moonlit, the air clean
and pure, and the woods full of
the tender, green and beauti-
full blossoms, that rest the
weary eye, it is a wonder that
more city-bond people don't
yield to this call Of nature and
refresh their tired minds and
hearts with the blissfull quiet
and beauty of our pine forest.
Mr.. Hugh Langdon is visiting
his family, who are sojourning
in Covington, and all are guests
OF Mrs. Langdon's mother, Mrs.
F. A. w. Davis, at her lovely
new home in Boston street.
Miss Seymoura Hadden spent
last week in New Orleans.
DR., and Mrs. Brandt V. Dixon
were guests at the Academy on
Saturday and Sunday.
We note with interest the ap-
peals that are being made to the
town council for a stock law.
From a pure feminine stand
point, would say that such a
law would be an excellent thing
! for Covington, for it would
mean cleaner streets, greater
safety for children, and a much
better time for nervous women.
It is far from a pleasant SEN
satlon to have a cow look like
she meant business, !" whether
she really does or not. We can't
always follow the workings of
the bovine mind, even of the
gentler sex, and a vicious look
is almost as agitating as a vi
cious hook. Then again, it does
not inspire us to don our best
