THE CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE
THE EASIEST THING TO GIVE

Chapter CIV.
Come in and have dinner with
me-" l said to Eliene Symone when
we arrived at my hotel after visiting
Jacks chorus girl" You said Har-
ny was not to be home tonight and
you have never seen my rooms
'I'll be glad to, Madge," she said.
ooh, how pretty it all is" she ex-
claimed as l opened the door. why,
Margie, do you know there is more
honey look to this little place than
anywhere in my twenty-room castle
which we call the cottage'?"
She sank down into my favorite
low chair with an almost envious
sigh.
You ought to be a happy woman"
I said. 81 do not think you have a
wish that you may not gratify,'
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-03-18

She looked up quickly and then she
spoke: Nov, Madge, you know that
is a perfectly inane remark. Of
course, have money-just slathers
of it, but the one thing which l wish
for more than anything else it cannot
give me-
81 suppose you mean children" L
said
Perhaps" she answered, ''for a
child would give me what l long for
most-a knowledge that was neces-
sary to some one, and yet l some
times think that mothers are not par
ticularly necessary to rich children.
Do you know, Margie, l would be
supremely happy if could do some
thing for some one that would make
him feel it was me that was working
for him and not my money!"

tailor-made suits, with narrow ruffles
generally three) of the cloth. This
is the skirt already known as the
tangoi
Sashes of Roman silk will be worn
with tailor-made suits. All the suits
have the falling off Japanese collar.
The coats of these suits are very long
in the back, falling in straight lines
nearly to the knee, with pleats at the
side to give fullness. In the front
they are very short, of the kind we
have always known as Elton jackets.
Some of these Elton fronts are round
ed like a bolero. Some are slashed
upward, showing an undervest of
Roman silk.
All the hats worn by Madame Pa
quin's models were of two types. One
was small with a narrow straight
brim and a high crown with regular
wreath-like trimming of silk dahlias
circling the crown. The other was
absolutely crownless, really just fiat
ovals of straw set on top of the head
and poked over the face with the aid
of velvet streamers. All hats, by the
way, are worn on the side.

A novelty in evening coats was
built exactly like a Mexican serape
or blanket cape, one side folding
about the wearer. over the opposite
shoulder.
Madame Paquin's evening gowns
were entirely sleeveless, or else had
\long sleeves transparent to the elbow,
and from there down made opaque
by crystal or bead trimming. The
long sleeves fitted well over the hands
in points.
Nearly all the evening costumes
were practically backless, the back
consisting only of a narrow waist
band of the material Sometimes the
expanse of flesh was yelled with tulle.
Madame Paquin showed one gown
of white chiffon printed in colored
medallions in which the bottom was
finished with embroidered scallops.
Waists on all gowns were very
wide and natural.
Colors shown by Madame Paquin
were a blunted blue, very much like
Chinese larkspur, the new green ap-
pie shade, a coffee and milk brown,
old-fashioned mulberry color that
our grandmothers loved, mustard
and peach.

Morals And Manners Not In Educa-
ton Now.

Boston, Feb. 10-sThe public school is
not producing good morals or good manners, =
declared Bishop John w. Hamilton, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, in an address
last night before the Eastern alumni of
Wilbraham Academy.
The respect that your fathers used to
have for womanhood is not apparent in the
present output of our public schools. The
Roman Catholic Church has better educated
in manners and morals, the children in the
Latin countries than have the public schools
we have today. The greatest problem for
this country is the necessity for an ethical
education"
Mr.. Editor: The above clipping con-
tains much food for thought. Are the con-
ditions limited at by the New England bishop
not unfortunately too prevalent in louisiana,
in st. Landry? For n thing, are not most
of our young people sadly lacking in good
manners? Are a majority even civil? Can
they be expected to respect anybody when
they are not even civil? And who is to
blame? The parents. the teachers or the
system? Society, as well as the highest
school authorities. should look carefully into
the question. xxx

MUNICIPAL SANITARIUM.

Whilst it is the concensus of opinion
in Opelousas that we should have a NUM-
cipal Sanitarium no one, thus far, to our re-
greet, has strived to push the movement on
forward to success.
We have had occasion to interview sew
eral, although not all, of the prominent
physicians in this city concerning the adj
visibility of converting the building now
being occupied by the st. Landry High
School, but which viii soon be vacated, into
d sanitarium, and thus far no one has, as
yet raised any serious objection to the plan.
On the contrary they all agree with the
Clarion that Opelousas should have a NUM-
cipal Sanitarium and that the above build
ing is an ideal place.
This city needs q hospital and should
have one Immediately. But in these days of
high cost of living and taking into con-
sideration the several thousands Of dollars
being at present expended for public i'm

THE NEW ORLEANS
EXPEDITION.

There is a great future in sight for
Louisiana; the entire United States concede
that fact. The South in General will pros
per as soon as the Panama Canal viii be
opened for navigation. But unless Louis
lana reaches out for her share of prosperity
we are liable to be forgotten when prosper
ity comes around after 1915 to distribute
its dividends.
The five million dollar exposition, which
is proposed to take place in the city of New
Orleans sometime in the latter part of this
year, will greatly increase Louisiana's
chances of becoming some day the most
powerful export state in the Union.
Louisiana needs to put up only two Of
the five million dollars, which are to go on
the Exposition Of Ideas, the other Southern
states will contribute the rest. The work
for placing the proposed exposition on a
sound basis has been started in earnest and
the country no doubt win soon be called
upon to give all the assistance possible to
the metropolis of the South. Yes the coun-
try will be asked to contribute to the cause
and we should certainly go the limit, as this
exposition will boost Louisiana up, not only
as one of the most progressive states in the
United States, but also as one of the great
est agricultural sections in the world.
Louisiana must not let this opportunity
of becoming a powerful factor in the fnan-
cial world slip by, it cannot afford to do SO,
and it is up to the New Orleans people to do
what they can in promoting this great en-
terprise, whilst. at the same time it is up to
the country citizens of this great state to
assist the Crescent City to our utmost ca
paciry.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-02-14

the farmers Of ST. Landry, and particularly
those living short distances from Opelousas
in the Bayou Mallet and Plaquenine sec
tons lost considerably over a million dollars,
during the raiHy season of last October and
November. The Union Irrigation Com
pany's loss alone amounted to over three
hundred thousand dollars. This is money
lost. which will never, never, as long as the
world rolis on, return to st. Landry parish.
The farmers have suffered. so have the
bankers, merchants and professional men.
There is but one way to prevent such a
heavy loss occurring again, and that way is
drainage. With about three hundred thou
sand dollars, roughly estimating, this par
ish could be drained thoroughly, from one
end to the other, simply by dredging sever
al bayous.
Can the farmers afford to lose millions
of dollars each year, simply because they
are afraid to invest a few hundred thousand
dollars in drainage? The first expense will
be the last, whilst if this parish is not well
drained the farmers stand the chances of
being overiowed any time of the year.
When good roads and good drainage
will be secured for st. Landry we will not
need to spend hundreds of thousands of dol
lars each year in an endeayor to interest
prospective settlers to come to our section.
On the contrary immigrants will be pouring
into this section by thousands at the time.
The opportunity is at hand and it's up to US
to seize it.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-02-14

proyement the city cannot afford to spend
thirty or forty thousand dollars to erect a
sanitarium. With about five thousand dol
lars, which we are confident, could easily be
secured from the revenues of the town, the
st. Landry High School building, which is
the property of the city, can easily be MADE
into an up-to-date and sanitary hospital.
cannot afford thirty thousand dollars,
Just at present, but we can spare five thou
sand dollars for the safety of the commu-
nifty. In the course of a few years, then,
perhaps Opelousas will be in a position to
erect one Of the best s~anitariums in Louis
lana.
Every progressive and thriving town
and city boasts of a sanitarium owned either
by private individuals or by the municipal
|ity. Eunice, the western metropolis of st.
Landry has an up-to-date hospital, and sure
|ly Opelousas should be able to follow this
example of a sister town of many years its
junior.
A municipal owned sanitarium is what
Opelousas must have in order to make it a
success, though individuals might make a
great success out of it. But il 0pelousas
erects a sanitarium the taxpayers here. as
well as the people Of the surrounding coun-
try will feel more assured that it will be an
enterprise which will remain here and will
be for the sole purpose Of assisting the thou
sands of citizens Of this community.
The Clarion would advise the Mayor and
Board of Aldermen to look into this matter
and to appoint a committee to confer with a
committee, composed of doctors of this city.
In the next three months the building will
lay idle and it is high time that this propo-
sition of establishing a Municipal Santa
rum here be looked into by the authorities,
if they are disposed to do what is right to-
wards the people Of Opelousas, as we earn
estly believe they are.

THE WALTERS--DUNBAR CASE.
progressive

William G.. Walters, alleged kidnaper of
little Robert Dunbar of this city, who will
be tried in the st. Landry District Court on
the 18th Of April, will most positively get a
fair trial. When a court, as distinguish
ed as the local court, appoints an attorney,
as noted and as famous as Hon. Edward B.
Dubuisson, to assist in defending the &C
cused, there is no doubt in the minds of the
citizens of the community that nothing but
justice will be melted out to the prisoner.
Every one in Southwest Louisiana. and
throughout the state, know that Mr.. Du-
buisson is an attorney of the highest calibre;
the people here are positive that this honor
able and distinguished LAWYER will do all in
his power. by honorable and legal methods
to have the accused acquitted. He will fight
IS hard as he always does, whenever he
takes up a case, and Walters will get a fair
trial.
There is no danger of suspecting that
the alleged kidnaper will get anything but
a just trial. The Opelousas court is as hon
Orabie court as there is in the United States
and most assuredly the several distinguish
ed and notable lawyers, who will prosecute
the accused, will not use any dishonorable
methods for convicting Walters. On the
contrary every possible means by which
Walters can prove his innocence viii be
tried by the authorities. The police jury
has appropriated sufficient money to have
several witnesses brought to Louisiana to
testify in favor Of the alleged kidnaper.
Walters will have a fair and impartial
trial and no one knows it better than the
accused's lawyers, as well as the prisoner
himself.
