Carnival of Nations.

Mardi Gras next Tuesday
March is to be made a gala
day celebrated in Natchitoches
this year with u grand parade that
will be of unusual interest not
only to the town, but to all the
surrounding country.
The idea of the local celebration
originated among the teachers of
the Training School who have in
terested nearly all of the clubs in
town so that they have entered
floats to add to the number from
Normal hill that will form the
principal part Of the parade.
The wonderful pageant'of child
hood will be the theme of the day,
and the bit of friendly rivalry
engendered, but adds to the interest
of the motive that prompts 1T.
ROUTE OF PARADE.
Leave T. & p. railroad square
at 3 O'Clock, pass up Front street
to Pavie, out Pavie to Third, down
Third to Post Office, up St. Denis
to Second and assemble in Court
House square. Leaving the Court
House, the parade will pass up
Church street to Front and assem-
BILE in the neighborhood of the
Rena Phillips Fountain. Reas-
it will encircle the
Church square and pass down
Front street to Amulet, thence out
Normal avenue, through the Nor
nal grounds and then to place of
starting.

Mrs. c. c. Chaplin.

It has been the sad duty of the
Enterprise to record a number OF
deaths, but one of the saddest that
has ever come within its province
is that of Mrs. Chaplin's which
followed close upon that of her
distinguished husband scare ten
days before closing the sad
tragedy of the household.
Mrs. Chaplin never knew that
! her husband preceded her into the
unknown land, having been bat
thing with death even before that
of her mothers, having been
stricken shortly after the demise
of her sister-in-law Miss Eliza
Chaplin who was the first of the
four that followed in such quick
succession.
The deceased was born and
reared in New Orleans and was a
lady of unusual intelligence and
accomplishments was twice married
and leaves one daughter by her
first husband, Mrs. w. S. Trichel
of Coushatta, two grandchildren,
one sister, three brothers, two
step-sons and other relatives.
1t has been many year since
such an immense crowd assembled
at a ball as participants and
lookerson, as was the case Friday
night when The Comus entertained
at a masquerade. The walls were
lined with interested spectators
who enjoyed watching the grace
full dancing of the maskers to the
music of a splendid 8-piece band |
and who were interested in identi-
flying the Madame de Pompadour,
Night, Folly, Butterfly, Old |
Girls, Daily States,
Dutch Girls, Cow Boy Girls,
Grecian, Spring, Flower, Queen
Of Hearts. Balloon, Sailor, Clowns,
Courtiers, George Washington,
Aviator, Scotchman, Cinnamon,
etc. Delicious punch and cakes
we're served throughout the eve
ming and it was very late before
the guests departed after one of
the most delightful balls in the
history of the Comus, which was
due principally to the clever man.

COMMISSION GOES
 BACK TO OLD TIME

The government engineering com mission has posted notice in the head quarters building that, beginning De- cember 1, the old time or standard time will prevail on the railroad. The commission changed the time at the outset, probably, because it thought the new time was to be adopted by all the city. It is reported, but not officially, that the work on the rail- road will begin half hour earlier in the morning than the hour at which it is usually commenced and by this means half an hour in the morning will be put to use without changing the hands of the clock at all. The schools will go back to standard time in a few days and all the private con cerns which made the change will fol- lew suit. So passes the abOmination.

EVERYONE Is GOING
 TO THE BIG DANCEI

Thanksgiving. will be celebrated by Seward ,bis evening by the big dance given in A. B. Hall by the ladies of St. Peters Guild. There is sure to be an immense crowd of dancers pres ent, and while speaking of this it might be suggested that some ar rangemcpt be made at this and all dances to prevent the tOnfusion that usually results from a lack of pro- grams. It might be suggested that one great big program be written and posted on the wall where the dancers might copy it and know "where they are at" when it comes to engage ments. The ladies of St. Peters have always sponsored the best of evenings and this will be better than ever.

ENGLISH FOOD

The question of food prices con tinues to arouse daily increasing in- terest. There was big debate on it in the House of Commons last week, when Mir. Runciman, of the Local Government Board, turned on his critics and tried to persuade us that we had really very little to grumble about. But the rise in prices cannot be explained away by comforting speeches from Ministers. Our one most serious shortage continues to be sugar. Early in the war the importa- tion of sugar was taken over by the Government. Yet, notwithstanding this-unkind critics might be inclined to hint because of this-there has been more difficulty with the sugar supply than with any other article of general consumption. At the pre- sent moment many shops refuse to supply any sugar. From others you can buy a pound at a time on con- dition that you buy several shillings' worth of other goods. The last price that l heard quoted for loaf sugar was Glad. a lb.; before the war it was 2lad. But the sweet-makers are evil dition that yo ubuy several shillings' the confectionery shops show no shortage. Our bread is now 10d 4 lb. loaf. Fillet steak costs as much as Is, lid. a lb., but ordinary ribs of Scotch beef are to be had for Is. 2d. lb. New Zealand lamb shows the biggest rise among meats. It is double the price of former days, and legs are now Is. 2 d. a lb. Fish is very dear indeed, 2s. lb. being ask ed for brill, and even a middle cut of cod fectching Is. 4d. On the other hand, few articles are as cheap, or cheaper, than ever they were. For example, small grapes from the Channel Islands are now to be had for 5d. lb. in almost any quantity London Daily Mail.
