the world of women against reformers.
It is easy to read and write reams Of
theories as to why women should not

ignoring the fundamental truth that
the blame should be placed on the

who are insincere but want to be

new clothes and buying them when

'SCAMPER' GIVEN
BY CARNIVAL ASSN.

A Midnight Scamper" is the ii
tie designated for the big dancing
fest that the Carnival Association
have planned for New Years night.
This "scamper" is expected to be
one of the biggest entertainments of
its kind that has evSr been devised
for local public amusement.
A committee Of the Carnival As
ISOLATION has been given carte
blanche to spend reasonable amount
for this affair, and already negoti-
atoms have begun for features of en-
tertainment out of New Orleans and
Mobile. The color dances and spec
tacular effects that contributed SC
much to the Midnight Frolic last
year, will also be a feature of this
"Scamper."
The dancing will continue till the
wee hours of morn. 1t will be the en-.
deavor of the Carnival Association tc
raise funds that will go to make the
Mardi Gras parade a success, and this
"Scamper" will be used as a Lever
to raise big part Of this fund.
The fact that it will be put on il
such style will make the POSSIBLE
ties of drawing the crowds that much
greater.
