of our various workmen in the yard.
For instance, Mr.. Emile Oulliber,
who has entire charge of the con-
struction of No. ship. While set
ting the stem a few days ago he was
observed hopping and skipping
around near the top of the huge tim
Der which is a distance Of thirty-five
or more feet from the ground, with
a great deal more activity ,han some
of our younger set get around on tho
wax floor Of the pavilion. This would
cause an observer to think that Mr..
Oulliber intends to build his ship
with the rapidity he has attained
from the day he laid the keel until
the day the observer saw him setting
the stem.
We would suggest that some of the
other ship foremen would look at the
movements of Mr.. Oulliber and in
iect some of the same dope into their

hanging over social prospects and in
terfering with plans and energy for
making of a gay season. Now that
the epidemic has passed and is for
gotten, there is a decided brighten
ing on the social horizon due, OF
course, to the clearing away OF the
aforementioned clouds. Entertain
ing of late has been limited, but Is
about to open with its usual Wh1rl
of pleasure and there Is no reason
why the few weeks remaining before
the advent of Lent should not be full
of many enjoyable features. The
social event that attracted much at
tention because of its originality was
the supper-dance given by Mr.. Doyle
Stockfeth in the home of Mrs. w. e.
Lopez.
The evening of pleasure was the
outcome of a boast OF Mr.. Stock
feth that he could fry oysters better
than any one in Madisonville. Mrs.
Lopez, hearing of this boast, offered
the use of her home to him. This
offer was made in spirit of fun, but
Louis was game and made good his
boast. Last Friday evening he
donned an apron and proceeded TO
fry some of the choicest OF oysters.
(Needless to say that as cook and
an entertainer, Louis is in class ALL
The table settings and decorations
were extremely artistic.
In addition to the supper-dance
a number of special features were
Mr.. E. T. Malloy gave toast to
the party's success that was excel
lent. to asy the least. This was sec
onded by Mr.. John Hays In a very
capable manner. Mr.. Stockfeth's
wit played an important part in the
evenings pleasure. Dan Vinet gave
an impersonation Of "A Hill Billy
Liberty Loan Drive" This cauesd
much laughter and was applauded
very heartily. Miss Denia Chatell1er
sang and was in excellent voice. Mr..
Harold Faller and Miss Ably in a
fancy dance was another pleasing
that was encored many
times. Mr.. Gus Dietrich, in his grape
Juice manipulating, made great hit.
Mrs. Lopez and her two charming
Misses Agnes and Estelle,
enjoy the reputation of making a.
success OF all social functions given
BY them.
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs.
W. E. Lopez, Mr.. and Mrs. e. T. Mol
oy, Misses Kathleen Abv, Violet
Ieughan, Agnes DeGruy, Este,le De-
1ruy, Dina Chatellier, and Messrs.
J. Dietrich, H. McDougal, John Huye,

Badeaux, George Mire, Frank De-

Louis Stockf1eth has at last lost.
ais reputation as runner, he hav-
ng entered into race with fat in
lividual on last Monday, which race
Louis lost by a wide margin. Now,
Louis, do not sport the medals you
nave won in the past when avoirdu-
oois can outdistance you 1t Is be-
7ond question for you to any longer
ay claim to a running championship.
At last Wednesdays pavilion dance
Captain Carlson "cut loose" and es-
,ablished the fact that he is no long
er an old man. His dancing possess
I'd grace and skill and made all the
,o-called young men that were pres
ent, turn green with envy When
asked by some Of the wall flowers"
he was suffering from rheumatism
he Captain loudly exclaimed that he
was introducing a new dance called
he "Hill Billy Glide"
The village cut-up has returned
md he is some devil in his own home
own. Last Saturday evening he had
Ill the girls wild over him. All the
other fellows became wall flowers
Whenever he chose to he command
eered dance from them. We sim
,erely hope he will not dissipate as
be did in days gene by when he
smoked cigarettes, cussed, stayed UP
as late as nine o'clock and ran his
tin Lizzie at an awful speed.
In discussing the wonderful friend
ship man has for man." 1t Is par
ticuIarly noted that Mr.. John Huye
braves the long and rocky road to
Covington every now and then to
meet gentleman" friend, spending
several hours eating supper at a GER
tain tavern. We now learn that Mr..
Huye has left for New Orleans to
meet this same gentleman" friend.
Again We say, that man for man
is some stuff.
