CORRESPONDENCE
Mr.. EegIeston Boosts the Fair.

To the Public School Teachers Of Bossier.
FelloaD Teachers: The opening date
October 19th) of our Parish Fair is not
long off. Are you going to be ready
and have your school represented with
good exhibit of educational work? Last
year we had splendid school exhibit,
and numerous were the comments of
praise heard both on the variety and
quality Of the educational exhibits. We
can do better this year. We must do
better. We will do better. A good list
of premiums is offered. The fair officials
have done their part. We can and must
do ours.
Do not think that because the fair is
held in Plain Dealing the high school
here has all the advantage and that you
have no chance for the premiums. Yours
is as good as anybody's. Last year the
premiums were fairly we'll divided among
all schools represented.
Let me urge that you compete for all
premiums, and l would especially urge
that you have entries for Nos. 50 to 81,
and in this way we will add new feat
ure to our department.
The 10Th will be a holiday, and you
should have your school present and
represented with an exhibit of some of
the work you are doing.
Address Mr.. j. E. Walker, Plain
Dealing, for a catalogue, if you do not
have one.
Let us all do our part toward making
the fair success and worth while.
Yours sincerely,
R. w. EGGLEsToN.

CAUSE PAIR TO PART
Mrs. Curmalis Objects to Hus-
bands PinOchle; He to
Wife's Stage Ambitions.
SHE SAYS HE PINCHED HER

A wife's ambition to be n movie star
and a husbands Interest in pinochle
are alleged In papers filed with STU
premc Court Justice Shcarn to have been
the cause of domestic differences be-
tween Nicholas T. Curmalis. a Greek
steamship agent, at 80 Washington
street, and Mrs. Iphigenia Curmalis.
Mrs. Curmalis sued for a separation
last spring. She was still living with
her husband and an application fo-
alimony was denied for that reason.
Mrs. Curmalls has just made another
application for SIS a week. alleging that
owing to her husbands repeated crpl-
ties. she was obliged to leave him on
August 23 last when they were living
at Midland Beach.
In her petition Mrs. Curmalis said
that her husband has pinched and
been losing weight continually and has
had to seek medical treatment. She
says he and two other mon played
pinochle on August 1915 from 10 =.
NJ to . A. NJ. and when she remon-
yrated her husband abused her. Again.
August 20. he played from . r. NJ. to
$3.50 a. NJ. Then she decided she had
enough and moved to 240 West 12lst
street. She says her husband has an
income of 5000 a week.
Curmalis, in denying his wife's
charges, said
She is a highly nervous woman, in
clined to false sentimentalism, which
leads her TO indiscretlons. She has been
taking long walks with a Spanish gem
tlcman who does not bear "a good repu-
tation.
The p~laintif is also DESTROYS OF be-
coming "A moving picture star. She Is
only 20 years old, and | am very much
IN love with her and have requested her
not to pursue this ambition. because |
believe wOman's place is the home. Sine
does not assent Ia this. which mas
been the cause OF her leaving home"
CurmaliS admitted that he enjoyed
p%iuochle. but said he played only two or
three times a month for about three
hours at a time and not for stakes. He
said that owing to the war his eli
entele, which is mostly Greek. has fallen
of so much that between January Il
July last he earned only S2S2.
Justice Shearn decided tina II Mrs
Curmal!s has any cause OF action
against her husband 1t can he deter
mined AT Il trial next month. and mean
time she doesn't need any alimony.
