MRS. PERRY BURKE.

Probably no death in recent times
in New Iberia has caused a more
general feeling of sadness than that
which shrouded the hearts of our
people upon the announcement that
Mrs. Perry Burke had passed over
the Great Divide.
Mrs. Burke, nee Carolyn Vaughn
Mitchell, was a native of this city,
and was generally loved by every
one who knew her, and her friends
were numbered by the hundreds.
She was a highly talented young
lady in many arts, and always took
an active part in the social and
charitable activities of New Iberia.
Death came at seven o'clock Tues
day evening, following closely on the
death at birth of little child. That
the life, for which she laid down her
own, was also claimed by the All
Wise Father, magnifes rather than
minimizes the richness of her sacri-
flee. The very angels in heaven must
sing the praises of, mother who
gives her life for that of little
child.
The funeral services were conduct
ed Wednesday at four o'clock from
st. Peters Catholic Church, the re-
mains being followed to the last long
resting place by a large number of
sorrowing relatives and friends.
The pail bearers were Messrs. DR..
J. w. Sanders, DR.. Sabatier, Francis
VOORHEES,, Warren Jefferson, Donald
Burke and Porteus Burke.
The deceased is survived by her
father, her sister, Dorothy, brother,
Jefferson Wolff Mitchell, and her
husband, Mr.. Perry Burke, of this
city.

This is made partly of the plain and partly of the figured silk in any design liked, as there are many shapes to select from.
 A fascinating bag may be made of ten quarter-yard pieces of ribbon in two or more colors. one inch wide. The ribbons should all be neatly pointed and seEed at one end, then cat-stitched together to form the upper part of the bag. A round snk-covered bottom is made. and the top is gathered on and seyved in place. About two inches from the top a casing of matching ribbon is sewed on the wrong side, for the ribbons to run through, and a buttonhole is made at either side to bring the ribbons through to the right side of the bag These bags are dainty and f1OHer-hlza, and have many uses
 An English hosd-an bag is a welcome gift where there are children and the family travel in summer. These bags have a long. deep pocket and several smaller pockets, and the four flaps fold over, allowing several wraps and other articles to be slowed away before the straps are bucl1led in place. These are invaluable for camping trips, sea trips and other journeys where extra wraps are in demand. If Americans carried much hand-bagSage as Europeans they would appreciate these hold alis.
 Hat-bags for the motor make accept able gifts. but they should be in ma teriaI that matches the car-Hning in color Gay bags are not usually liked by the conservative traveller.

looked at her doorway with a froun- Maybe it's not as nice as your home, but-'
 'Twer7, any old tfne dig hole in F~e ground and call it home you'u know it, laughed the es~est. '"r9o sir! not mel I'm glad to say that my relatives have all advanced from that stage. Why. nothing but common old worms live in the ground in my part of the country
 There's only one way to live, my good friend-fn a shell house like do. My, 2 l wouldn't be bothered with house Is couldn't carry around my back! Seag this shell? Well. I outgrew my last house, and couldn't find a vacant oTIe. so ate up the owners of this shell ypu see here and took possession of it my self Why, you're too good-loosing ant to be a household drudge. Why not come along with me? I'll find you house-one you can carry everywhere you eo.''
 By this time Mrs. Black Ant was be- ginning to fe& sorry for >herseif, and after looking at the lovely shell house of her guest, she ae cided to go with him in search of a new house So she packed tiny lunch and they started out
 Soon they came to deserted shell, almost like the MT. Hermit Crab was using, and Mrs. Black Ant. who was not used to travelling so far, crawled in to rest. But the sides of the shell were hard, and she couldn't sleep. She began to wish she had never left her little ant-hill.
 You'll get used to It." MT. Hermit Crab informed her. Now. when you're ready, we'll take a trip out to see the world. When people can carry their houses with them they need not worry about where night finds them.' And he wiggIed off through the grass, expect ing Mrs. Black Ant to follow him. But when she tried to carry her shell house. Mrs Black Ant found she couldn't budge the thing.
 Perhaps it's too 1arge-I'n hunt a smaller one.'' she sighed Then a tiny laugh startled her.
 Better be content with what you have" said Cheery Cricket, and she pointed back to the ant-hill- Grabs were made to carry their houses, but ants were made to live in the ground. His shell house is fastened so he can drag it after him. Go home, little ant. and be content"
 Mrs. Black Ant feeling terribly ashamed, turned around and scampered back to her little ant-hill. and from that day to this she has lived there. a2,d no one ever hears her complaining.

Isabella. he had become berofhed to her younger sister, Joanna So now he hurried from Portugal to claim tho Spanish throne.
 But Isabella turned warrior. She mounted her horse and conducted with the same spirit in which she had refused her suitors war against the invading Portuguese. and drove them out of Spain.
 Peace was not one Of Isabena's de- lights. So this invincible queen fell upon the Moors. She drove them out oc Spain, and they stayed out
 But IsabelIa's crowning achievement was her outfftting of the brave young Italian who begged for money so that he could prove the world is round.
 Ferdinand tried to dissuade her. but the spirited Isabella cried-
 '-I will assume the undertaking for my own crown of Castle, and ready to pawn my jewels to pay the expenses.''
 Of such tndomitable spirit was thfS woman of whom Lord Bacon wrote:
 'In all kGr relations of queen and woman, shs was an honor to her sex and cornerstone to the greatness of SpaiR.''
