TNLSIE exclaimed, like an ingenue at
~ everything. she was clever enough
not to f1atter Gene too obviously. al
though Ruth. another woman, could see
through her devices without any trouble
at all. She wondered why men were so
blind where woman is concerned. She
had thought Gene too clever to be both
cred with the type of woman that Elsie
was, but she was different enough
from the women Gene met to interest
him.
Gene in his painters apron made
tea for the girls and they sat beneath
the skylight nibbling cakes and slipping
the hot fragrant liquid after the model
had gone. Elsie, playing wide eyed
Innocence. asked no end of questions
about the model.
"What life for a girl, she sighed.
WHY" asked Gene abruptly.
''Oh, going about from studio to
studio and you say you pay them only
fifty cents an hour.
That's good money" said Gene
abruptly, when you figure it up.
''Oh, but the dangers the girls are
\ in," sighed Elsie again.
Nonsense said Gene abruptly,
''you don't mean to tell me, Mrs.
Banning, that you believe in those
studio stories that are circulated.
Elsie saw that she had taken the
(. wrong tack and hastened to rectify her
mistake.
II always thought they were true,
she returned, giving the impression tha'
she was perfectly willing to be cor
rected il she had been wrong. Her at
titude was one Of hanging on every
word Gene uttered and taking it for the
absolute truth. 1t was an attitude that
could not help but be fiattering to an!

Ruth hoped he would not grow to care
for Elsie She knew that Elsie was
capable Of carrying on desperate tiirt
alton just for the sensation It would
cause in her set when her friends saw
that she had an artist in tow.
Finally Ruth rose and said that she
had to get home. She fsncied' that Gene
wore somewhat guilty look as he
turned and came over to her and that
he devoted himself to talking with her
the last few minutes. although his eyes
kept straying to Elsie. who made II

IT'S FOLLY TO BE HOT
TAKE SWIM IN CREEK

Bogalusa is not an island, but it
is one of those happy places sur
rounded by running water of the cool
kind that flows noiselessly over white
sandy bottoms and beneath green
leafy trees. And, as if the gods had
been thinking only of Bogalusa, her
people and the weather, when
streams were being made, these
beautiful currents have played them
selves into deep holes, just right for
a splash and a swim.
Old folk may talk about the cold
swimming hole" but they have moth
ing on the rising generation. When
old folk lived Bogalusa was virgin
pine forests, inhabited by a family
here and there. but todav hundreds
Of boys and girls are Iarf1ing on the
green and romping in the rivers.
And, incidentally, the habit of laugh
ing at the hot weather by ducking
beneath the cool water is not con-
fined to barefooted boys and brown
checked girls. The tact is "every-
body's dom it" No fewer than a
dozen swimming parties spent sew
eral hours Sunday afternoon just out
Of town and just in the creek.

NEWS OF sLIDELL

The SlideIl Commercial and Civic
League was organized last week with
w. J. Sebastian, chairman, and F. F.
Wigginton, secretary 1t
will be the principal aim of this or
ganization to advertise the many ad-
vantages of Slidell. A large amount
of the work contemplated has pre-
viously been fostered by the Council
Of Defense, but as the war work is
now about done it was thought new
organization formed along lines of
more commercial ideas was necessary
so the present movement was
launched under the most favorable
auspices and is backed by the whole
community.
At a special meeting of the city
council the sum of $500 was appro-
priated to the survey 81 the Inteur-
ban trolley line, New Orleans to Mo-
bile, via SIidell. This amount, with
the $500 voted by the police jury,
will fill st. Tanmany's quota for this
work.
The schooner Laguna, recently
locked here by the Canulette Ship
building Company, was thoroughly
overhauled and was launched Satur-
day evening and placed at Gulfport
Monday for loading full cargo of
lumber for Spain. Thanks for the
improvements in deepening the chan
mel through the middle ground in
Lake Pontchartrain near the Rigolets
it is now possible for vessels of con-
siderable draft to come into the sew
eral shipyards in this vicinity, where
ample dock and repair facilities are
obtainable.

Meats in Storage"

Every working day of the year
100000 pounds of meat are required
to supply home and export needs-and
only 10 per cent of this is exported.
These facts must be kept in mind
when considering the u. S. Bureau of
Markets report that on June /, 1919,
there were 1,34S, 100000 pounds of
meats in cold storage. IF the meat in
storage was placed on the market it
would only be 20 days supply.
This meat is not artifcially withheld
from trade channels to maintain or
advance prices.
Meats in storage consist Of
IS per cent (approximate) hams, bacon etc.
in process Of curing. It takes 80 to 90
days in pickle or salt to complete the
process
10 per cent is frozen pork that is to be cured
later in the year.
per cent is lard. This is only four-ffths
of pound per capita, and much of it will

finished goods in process of curing ard

the consumer steady flow of finished
