DANCE COMPLIMENTARY TO MISS FOS.
TER, THURSDAY EVENING.

A social event of great interest was
the dance given by the Misses TowleS
to their cousin, Miss Louisiana Eos
ter, youngestdaughter Ex-senator Muir
ply J. Foster. 1t took place at Pythian
Hall, St. Francisville, The family are
spending the summer at Ouida planta-
ton in the upper part OF the parish,
and Miss Foster will be their guest
during that time. AS "Ouida" is re-
mote from the greater part OF the par
ish, aad as 1t was desired that Miss
Foster should make many friends in
her mothers native parish, the dance
was given in town. And a most bril-
liant affair it proved, with large at
tendance from various parts of the par
ish. The Misses T0wles were assisted
in receiving by their mother, Mrs. Dan
iel 7. Towles, of New Orleans, and
Mrs. John w. Brandon, of Pinckney-
vile, Miss. Miss Foster looked very
lovely in a gown of pale blue chiffon
over messaline of the same shade. Her
bouquet was of pink hydrangeas and
asparagus fern. She received much
attention. Misses Sarah and Kate
TOwlns wore dainty lingerie gowns
with white ribbons. Miss Roberta
Towles and Miss Rightor came up from
New Orleans for the occasion. Fruit
punch, sandwiches and coffee were SER
we'd throughout the evening, and after
twelve o'clock an elegant supper was
served in the banquet room. Though
the evening was very warm, the dane
ing was much enjoyed, and rounded
out delightful affair.

KEEP YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PAID
UP.

We have received peremptory in
structiOns from the Postal Depart
ment at Washington relative to en-
forcement of the ruling that no pa
per may have the advantage of Sec
ond class mailing rates if sent to
subscribers over one year in arrears.
AS it is practically impossible for
publishers to consider any other
rates higher than second class, it fol-
lows that the ruling in question must
be strictly obeyed Our subscrib'
ers will therefore understand that
without any special violation on our
part, it is necessary for us to fol-
low postal regulations. They will
therefore do well to ascertain beyond
a doubt that their subscription is PAL
up, if they wish to receive their pa
per without missing number.
Remember there Is absolutely nc
feeling on our part in this matter
We are under the strongest compul
sion to obey the ruling, as a forfeit
ure of second class rates would be
suicidal. We must conform; and We
trust orr subscribers will do as we'll

1t would he insincere to say that
We approve Mr.. John M. Parker's
course in regard to supporting Col.
Roosevelt, but there is this much to
say for him, he is open and candid in
his affiliations whereas the Louisiana
Democracy's national attitude is GER
tainly not orthodox. 1t may happen
that from the Parker incident may be
learned tolerance for the political
opinions of others, something in
which Soutberners as rule FIRE sad
ly lacking. One of the drawbacks to
immigration thither is the intolerance
shown. Northern Republicans Meth
er wish to recant nor to be ostraciz-
ed on account of their political faith
when they come to the South. Hence
they don't come.
