Brought Cold Back
When I talked to Mrs. Gautier
early this week she was hardly
able to speak as the result of a
cold caught while in New York
about 10 days before which set
tied in her bronchial tubes. And
she was to make one of the prin-
cipal addresses at the annual din
ner. But | know she managed il
because she has never yet fallen
down on a job.

colt, Ariz., where she and her
husband, L. j. Jane, Jr., are now
residing, that they all are quite
happily located, and in love with

Gsuticrs To Hawai-:
l met Mrs. Henry Gautier driv-
ing along the business section
Monday and registered surprise
for she had told me the previous
week that she and MIR. Gautier
expected to leave for Hawaii, Sat
nrday. though they might not get
off until Sunday. to visit their
son, 1t. Robert Gautier and his
family at Honolulu where he is
stationed at a submarine base. I

from 1t. Gautier telling them not
under any circumstances to leave
home until their clearance papers
I think that is the phrase, had
been received, and SO they are
waiting along with packed suit
eases and other paraphernalia for
the arrival of the papers.
Thanksgiving Dance
The Thanksgiving dance the
Young Women's Business club is
to sponsor following the Natchez-
Pascagoula game continues to be
of paramount interest here and in
Moss Point among members of the
dancing set. It will take place
in the Recreation Center.
THE Mystery Lady"
A clever innovation at meetings
Of the Catholic School League is
the mysterious lady" who gives
a prize to the 18th person with
whom she shakes hands at each
session. She is ineognito until that
happens then she is revealed as
a member chosen in advance.
There's genius in the idea for if
there's one thing above others
that intrigues human beings. it's
drawing a prize, That's why folks
listen to inanities in the give
away programs on the chance that
out of all the millions of phone
users their names might be called.
When Il is, they are usually so
flustered that they cannot answer
what would, under other circum-
stances, be a simple question.
The mayorality contest is no
longer the exclusive business of
men. This was shown by the
oftentimes active interest dis
played BY women during the
weeks preceding the first pri-
mary. As for the candidates. espe-
cially those new to the political
game, they'll probably appreciate
a remark made by an old woman !
