the Mondays.
The tent show pitched behind
the fire hall presented an animal
ed and cosmopolitan spectacle,
represented by every type. truly
typical of gay and strenuous
America, all during the holiday
week, the laughing faces of the
fair young girls Of Opelousas
however most attracting the at
tention like flowers against the
background of foliage. The
country around even as far as
Eunice, too, was well represent
ed during the time, as, though
our city lies tranquil and poetic
amidst it's decking Of embower-
ing trees, it is still the central
hub of the surrounding parishes,
and country wagons teeming in
with produce for tnaffic during
the time, carried as well, the
fair produce of sweet country
girls with accompanying mothers
(babies included to take in the
shows, which tho Of moderate
entrance fee, were of a good
class of drama with first class
players, the theatres too being of
rather pure standard. And
Opelousas was booming during
the whole week; a scene of bust
ling festivity despite the weather
which was the only draw back.
However. nevertheless, COM
merce as we'll as gayety pushed
on with a jolly jog and jostle,
some Of the commercial centres
! with their attractively arranged
windows which always draw
crowds, being actually, during
the while, a strenuous push OF
business commingled with merri-
ment, the sweet Noel spirit,
which submerged the bleakness
Of the drizzle and slush without,
and kept the clerks on the con-
tinual alert and move.
It would have been thought,
that after such a busy and merry
fortnight, that our old town OF
Opelousas the Indian Summer"
would have subsidized into its
original quiet when the old
braves smoked their peace pipes
around the WigWams that once
rested upon the spot where our
old town now lies, but no, for
tho old Opelousas is seemingly
wrapt in dreams, a posey OF
spirit adream among its boughs,
its heart is resting and full of
youth, which must always be up
and be doing-and a street fair
must almost Immediately succeed
the tent-theatres which was
a cosmopolitan gathering again
for another week from the coun-
try as well as the town. It is
needless to say that while young
folks pushed Irritation, the mer-
chants pushed traffic.
Two very romantic weddings
took place among the street
fair people, the young man in
each case it is said, having left
his native plare to followthe show
for love Of the girl subsequently
married in our city under a gla-
mour of romance, the two couples
referred to namely: E. A. Close,
of Oklahoma City, to Miss Flea
