southern gates.
One hundred picked men were TO be

Meeting of X. of c. State Council.

The state council of the knights of
Columbus held its annual convention in
Lake Charles Monday and Tuesday, May
8 and 10, with every one of the twenty
three councils in Louisiana fully repre-
sented. Judge L. P. Caillouet, state
deputy, made lengthy and interesting
report upon matters affecting the welfare
of the order, which showed that the
Knights Of Columbus in Louisiana are not
only rapidly growing in numbers, but are
carrying on fine line of work in the in
terest of the organization. The report of
the state deputy also showed that prac-
tically all the councils in the state are
contributing to the 100000 endowment
fund for the Catholic University at
Washington, D. c., the Louisiana knights
having so far donated over $1,000 to the
fund.
The report of State Secretary L. Paul
Amiss showed that tWonew councils have
been organized in the stfte during the
past year, making the total number
twenty-three, and the membership has
grown from 3035 May 1, 1909 to 1878
May 1, 1910. This does not include a
number of new members added through
recent limitations, which probably would
make the total above $780, A new coun-
Gil will soon be instituted at Franklin.
The present efficient officers of the state
council were unanimously reelected, to-
wit: State deputy, Judge L. P CaiIlouet
Thibodaux; state secretary, L. P. Amiss,
Baton Rouge; state treasurer, w. D. Park
Donaldsonville; state advocate, Charles L.
Wise, Morgan Cies'; state warden, Fred

uty and state deputy ex-officio, Judge Paul
Leche, of Donaldsonvilie, and Charles
o. Mouton, of Lafayette, respectively
The alternates are: Judge j. B. Fisher,

BRIDGE RINGS.

With the prevalence Of card games
and parties. a new finger ornament IS
seized with avidity by the woman who
would keep pace with things up to
date. and who has the wherewithaI TO
indulge
The new bridge rings, as they are
called, are an evolution from the older
but equally stunning banquet or dinner
rings Artificial light is not now de-
manded to make them good form.
They are designed for the small finger
Of the left hand, and the separate
beauty Of each ring has as much to do
with its attractiveness as the value OF
the stones with which It is incrusted.
In the design an irregularity Of out
line IS one OF its most interesting Pc
culiarities, and the settings are often
an inch in length and sometimes longer,
while their width depends upon the de-
sign chosen or the size Of the finger
they are TO adorn.
There is usually a large center stone
or three OF varying sizes are used, and
around these the smaller stones are set.
The old-fashioned bririants and rose
cut diamonds used in brooches and
rings Of bygone days and boarded among
family treasures may be used in fashion
ing one Of these bridge rings, and when
thus eongregated viii give sentimental
value TO what Is really a most striking
and individual ornament

A FINE OLD ENGLISH RECIPE,

The roast beef of old England is pre-
surnably the finest IN the world and
has been celebrated in both song and
story, but one seldom hears OF the
many other excellent ways in which
English cooks prepare this meat. One
Of their most pleasing dishes is beef
steak stewed without the addition OF
water or any other fluid. To prepare
this have three or four pounds Of rump
steak cut about an inch thick Put one
tablespoonful Of butter in the frying
pan and let It melt without browning
Wash the steak quickly in cold water,
put It in the frying pan. cover closely
and let It slowly become very hot As
soon as II is thoroughly heated add one
teaspoonful of salt and a saltspoonful
OF white pepper, then keep II Just sim
mering never allowing II TO bold until
perfectly tender. 1t should be closely
covered all the time. II will require
about an hour and a half to cook it
just right. When done place the steak
on a heated platter. and add half
teaspoonful OF walnut or tomato catsup
10 the gravy In the pan. let II get very
hot and pour II over the steak. Some
times a slice or two Of onion or carrot
are added to impart a delicate flavor
TO the steak, but It is quite delicious
without.

FROM WOMANS'
POINT OF VIEW

Brought face 20 face with expenses
which are appalling to all but fat purses,
we are being told on all sides that we
must cut our coat 70 fit the cloth we
have, in other words. We must meet con-
ditions by retrenchment. which advice is
distinctly unpalatable But what else
can we do? Complaints do not mend
matters.
There is no doubt that most OF us have
drifted far on the tide OF extravaganza
We have better homes than we can afford
TO maintain. we wear clothing whose cost
IS all out Of proportion 20 our income.
we spend much too lavishly on amuse-
ments, and have cultivated a host Of
expensive little habits. Women have fur
nished material for the cartoonists by
their absurd methods OF saving. and have
Iured men to financial destruction by
their desire to keep pace with neighbors
or friends.
Living is high-that is an undlsputable
fact. Rent. fuel. food. and clothes are
necessities, but they can be shaved down

that somebody is piling UP millions
through our needs is not a pleasant

We cannot pull down prices. 50 we mus.

We might accommodate ourselves 10
smaller homes. where there would be
a saving in both rent and fuel We can
| combine with our friends and neighbors
in purchasing common articles at whole-
/ sale. and save more money. We can do
/ the same on some kinds OF clothing,
and we can get along without a lot OF
things which we now regard as neces-
/ stiles. We do not need so much candy;
/ chewing gum is not a necessity; and
/ every novelty that comes out is not
necessary 20 good grooming. We spend
1 too much on toilet goods, too much IN

A butcher gives as reason FOR the
/ increased price OF meat the habit of the
| worklngman Of eating meat three times
