New Parish Committee Is
Organized With Paul
Berthelot as Chairman

Elsewhere, in this issue, we
reproduce, the official pro-
ceedings of the St. John Pa
rish Democratic Executive
Committee which met last
Saturday at Edgard and or
ganized with our good old
friend and leader, Hon. Paul
Berthelot, as Chairman. DR..
E. P. Feucht, of Garyville
was selected as Vice-Chair-
man, and our friend, Hon.
Henry c. Maurin, OF Laplace,
as Secretary.
With such able gentlemen
at the head of our Parish De-
mocratic Executive Com
mittee, seconded by such ex-
cellent gentlemen who COM
pose the rest. of our parish
committee. We have no fear
in predicting that this new
committee will always act to
the best interest of all con-
cerned, and will always be
an honor to our parish.
We are indeed proud to see
that the good voters of St.
John have given the Berthe
lot faction such an overwhel-
ming majority on our parish
committee, by electing. four
Berthelot members at large
and seven Berthelot ward
members, thus making a to-
tai of eleven Berthelot mem
bers to only six Hart faction
members. Naturally, as could
be expected, the Hart mem
bers being in such minority,
failed to put in an appearance
at the organization meeting
held last Saturday; but as
the eleven members o. the
Berthelot faction were I'll
present in person or by proxy
a full quorum was present,
and business was transacted
according to law.

A. the summer advances hats grow
larger. The small hat 10 always pop
ular. both with the American woman
and the Parisienne, but the mode must
be varied throughout the year, declares
q prominent fashion writer. Conse-
quently fair proportion Of large hats
Is always shown. but midsummer Is
the logical season for them. The ef-
forts Of the milliners to popularize the
more dressy. picturesque styles have
met with great success.
Midsummer models are Of lace, or
candle. bright colored swiss muslins,
tulle, taffetas, ginghams and. Of course
some straws. The fact that more fab.
RIGS than straws are used Is due to
two causes-the Parisienne has never
considered the all-straw hat as becom.
ing as one in which a soft fabric Ia
introduced. and the dificulty Of OBJ
tanning straw. The high cost Of straw
braids. together with their scarcity, ID
making 1t practically necessary for
the Paris milliner to economize In the
quantity used.
Spring hats were gay. Those for
summer are gayer. Summer time
means flowers. So. of course, we have
the flower hats. Not the slightest BIT
of care appears to have been taken In
trimming them. yet we know by the
