The styles reveal many new ideas that will appeal
to all women of today. So many novelty patterns
are seen in the silks and wash fobrics used and the
way they are blended together, gives them much
originality.
The quaint peplum effects are in evidence as are
those with the panel and waistcoat styles. Both
low and high necks are used. They are just the
waists to wear with separate skirts to business or
with the new Spring Suits.

Road Committee Meets
With Police Juries OF
Lafourche and As
sumption Today
Will Be Asked To Follow Lead
Of St. Mary And Terrebonne
Regarding Work On Bayou
Caroline Cutoff

The good roads committee which
met with the st. Mary Police Jury
last Wednesday and secured such
splendid results, will meet with the
juries of Lafourche and Assumption
today. They will be with the parish
body at Napoleonville in the morn
ing and with the Lafourche jurymen
in the afternoon. The committee is
composed Of jurors from st. Mary,
Terrebonne, Chamber Of Commerce
representatives and officials of the
T-A-L-M God Roads Association. The
optimistic sentiment prevailing in
Terrebonne regarding the project is
demonstrated by the following ac-
count of the meeting held last week
in Franklin, taken from the Houma
Courier:
That short cut between Terre-
bonne and St. Mary parishes, through
Assumption parish, is going to be
built, and built very shortly, if the
spirit that prevailed at the police
jury meeting in Franklin this week
takes possession Of the members of
the police juries of Assumption and
Lafourche parishes. A committee
from this parish, composed of A. A.
Sanders, A. w. Van Pelt, C. C. Krum-
bhaar, H. M. Borg and DR.. C. C. Men
vile went to Franklin, Wednesday,
and, with the aid of Mr.. Engene
Pharr, aroused the interest Of the St.
Mary Police Jury to the advantages
of this proposed road to such an ex-
tent that a thousand dollars was ap-
propriated towards the carrying out
Of the project.
The Terrebonne Police Jury has al
ready donated a thousand, and in
dividual contributions to the amount
of seven hundred dollars, so that with
the st. Mary appropriation, there are
twenty-seven hundred dollars in the
fund for hat purpose. Assumption
and Lafourche parishes are practi-
cally committed to the project, so
that enough money is in sight to push
it to completion in very short order.
