, CTUDYING the spring fashions
- in the Fifth avenue shops and
the fashion plates which
prophecy what women are to wear,
there seem to be no radical styles for
the coming season. This may be be-
cause the fashionable modistes and
the designers whose word was sar-
torial law in Europe have fled from
their shops to the protection of their
countrys interests, and American de-
signers have outlined the keynote.
in the past, there was always a
certain outlined fashion in clothes,
whether it was high waists or the
Russian blouse, and women of all
sizes and ages, in their endeavors to
look what their neighbors call "chic, "
adopted these styles becoming or not.
Today the American woman has
the chance to express herself through
her individualism in dress. In other
words, she is going to wear this sea-
son what is most becoming to her.
Long skirts and short skirts are
fashionable; full skirts and narrow
skirts are shown on the latest models.
There is no law which says long
sleeves are passe or short sleeves are
not in vogue, or to forswear the
long waist, as the Empire garment
is the only one distinguished as fash
ionable. 1t is a veritable miracle in
the art of dressing.
Here is the economic advantage of
all this-there won't be so many radi-
cal changes in style, and a dress
donned in January will not look IN
happily old fashioned by March.
This spring, in the shops where the
milliners are showing their exclusive
models, will you sec large hats and
small hats. Some are severely tail
ored, some have dropping brims and
are constructed like the garden hats,
others are very large. The plain hat
is just as fashionable as are those
more elaborate.
Fabrics this year are so beautiful
and there is a general trend toward
the subdued pastel shades. l noted
in so many of the shops a revival of
the printed silks, such as our grand
mothers wore. How beautiful and
dainty they arc, and how much pref
tier a young girl looks if she affects
simplicity in her clothes, for, after all,
don't you think they express ones in
dividuality?
I remember we'll one dainty little
girl who played with me in the Bio
graph Co., far back in those DAVIS
when we were making very meager
but welcome salaries. Those were
our days for strenuous economy, for
we had TO look we'll in pictures in,
order not to lose the positions that
meant so much to US. Some of the
girls bought gsrish, cheap clothes,
imitation laces and machine embroid-
cries, but this little girl would save
until she could afford a plain dark
blue, well-made tailor suit. ALWAYS
we would see her in clean white col
lars and cuffs, which she Numbered
in her own room, spic and span
gloves and carefully polished shoes.
One hat had to last her all through
the season, but she bought a good
one, as expensive as three of the,
gaudy hats most of the girls would
choose in preference.
Every ono remarked upon her at
traetive appearance, and ] tried >

my friends and the voters of Grant

liberal support in the late primary cleo

appreciation for the great honor done

Clerks Office. In my official capacity
l shall endeavor to treat all alike as

To the Voters of Grant Parish:

Language fails to express my great
appreciation of the liberal support ac-
corded me in the primary election of
January 18th for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Sheriff of Grant parish.
While the returns give my opponent.
Mr.. Wagner, few more votes than
received, his vote does not show by
any means that he is the choice of the
people, as the two candidates who re-
ceived less votes than myself, and were
eliminated from the race last Tuesday,
are men of unquestionable standing in
every particular, and they received
nearly one-third of the votes of the
parish, hence / feel especially honored.
As the question is vet to be decided
by the people as to who will be their
Sheriff for the next four years by a
second primary, sincerely hope all my
friends who voted for me last Tuesday
will see their friends who voted for the
gentlemen who were eliminated from
the race IN the nrst primary, and get
them to support me in the second pri-
mary. which follows on February the
18th, A. d. 1916
Hoping that my friends over the
parish will ask their friends to not
only consider my candidacy for the
Sheriff's office, equal in every respect
with my opponent, Mr.. R. w. Wagner,
but to also give the consideration that
is justly due me in regard to my serv-
ice and ability as Deputy sheriff, etc.,
from a standpoint of fitness.
Again thanking my friends and ask
ing the support of all, beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
L. o. CLINTON.

Decency and Common Honesty.


We can see noreason why any Dem.
ocratic voter should not go INTO the pri-
mary, and vote for these candidates.
yet reserve the right to vote independ.
emily for governor, by leaving the tick
ct blank for that Office. There are
thousands of Democrats in Louisiana
who will not support either of the pri-
mary candidates for governor. Must
they. for that reason, be deprived of
the privilege of helping in the selection
of their local officials? We think not.
The primary, save in few parishes in
the Third district, is the equivalent to
a local election. There is no opposi-
ton to the candidates to be selected by
it. If the people want good men for
these offices all Democratic voters
should be allowed and indeed invited to
participate in them. But that priv
ilege should not carry with it the right
to vote for candidate for governor on
the Democratic ticket and then vote
against the party and primary nominee
In the general election that follows.
We do not want that kind of politics in
Louisiana. Times Picayune.
There is no reason except de-
cency and common honesty to
prevent a man from going into a
primary election and then stulti-
flying himself by voting against
a part of the ticket. Party eth
les are as subtle as religion, and
the delicate morality of each de-
mands absolute fealty to the
cause espoused. The religious
code is so strict that he who vio-
lates the least of the command
ments is held to be guilty of
breaking them all.
Membership in a political par
ty is the voluntary act of an in
oividual. lie is bound by no
oath to the obligation that rests
upon him. but all honorable men
rightly regard him as a renegade
when ne proves false to the ohli-
cation that rests lightly on him.
We do not want the kind of
politics in Louisiana that our
latter day Progressive-Republi-
;ans are teaching. Nobody de-
MES the right of any man to be a
Republican if he wants to, but
We DO deny his right to pretend |
