SOCIETY NOTES.

The visitors from Covington to the
New Orleans Carnival were many
too many to make an individual men
ton. It would be far easier to tell of
those who were not so fortunate, and
stayed at home. So we will not at
tempt a list, but wish the merrymak-
ers a full mead of enjoyment, and
safe and speedy return. Covington was
not without a recognition of the carni-
val spirit. On Mardi Gras day the
quiet streets were frightened by gay
little procession, headed by Master Jur-
ior Frederick, carrying aloft the title
piece Kindergarten" then followed
a tiny car, bearing the queen of this
mimic carnival, little Miss Bodebender,
and another whereupon the king, Mas
ter Edward Frederick, sat in state.
both crowned with pretty symbols of
their royalty. All the children were
in costume, and they enjoyed their
parade as much as the onlookers. We
are sure that never a carnival was
more thoroughly enjoyed than this one
by the happy little band of kindergar-
teners. Master C. F. Hardie caused
great deal of merriment by display
ing sign 'Too Young to Vote"
The Friday afternoon Euchre Club
met at the residence of Mrs. H. H
Smith. The first prize was won by
Mrs. Boy Warren, the second by
Mrs. Logan Belknap, and the conso-
lation by Miss Blossman.
The Carnival German dance at the
Southern on Saturday night last, was
beautiful affair, and notable sue
cess. The German was gotten up and
managed by Mrs. c. F. Hardie, ably
assisted by Mrs. Julian Lafaye.
There were twenty-five couples, led
by Mr.. Sterling Mott, of New Orleans,
and Mrs. S. w. Prague.
The favors were very attractive.
Those for the gentlemen were comic;
masks, carnival canes, blow-owls, ETC.
and caused great merriment. The
ladies favors were most dainty, and
all were prettily trimmed with carni-
val ribbon.
The decorations, also in carnival
colors, were beautiful, and did great
credit to Mrs. Lafaye's artistic taste,
for it was she who so charmingly
arranged the whole.
The guests from New Orleans were
Mrs. Manion and daughter, Miss Kate;
Mrs. F. Leonhardt, Miss Alma Co
logne, Miss Lafaye, Misses Sterling
Mott, DeFuentes, ]. McCandish and
Richardson. Mrs. Kohnke, Misses Had

table. Refreshments served in the
spacious dining-hall were abundant
and most delicious.

The season of Lent is upon us. Sack
cloth and ashes are things of the past,
material or spiritual. Penance and
good deeds are left, and with these we
must make our peace with our God
and ] verify believe that the latter are
dearer to His Heart. land the greatest
of these is charity" Charity of thought
and wUrd-not only of deed---for how
often it is the kind thought and spoken
word that do the greatest good? Can't |
we then let this rule our lives during
the Holy Season. Can't we make our
atonement in this way and let or
prayers and devotions be dominated by
the sweet spirit of liberation, forgive
1ess, and the greatest of all, charity
towards our fellow men?
We are distressed to learn of the
alarming illness of Mrs. Domergue,
and earnestly hope that she will soon
grow much better.
