Mrs. J. M. Foster, regent, was hostess of the Pelican Chapter at its February meeting last Tuesday. The afternoon was gloriously bright, and the rapid drive to Curraghmuir. the Foster home, was exhilirating and delightful. The Sbroail domain of this beautiful country seat inst within the ira p of the city stretches back into the mysterious hush of the forest as if to resent encroach e rment upon its tranquilily An oak lined avenue makch the "poet's path" to the family mansion, famed for it, generous and abounding hospitality. How cherry the warmth of the big open fires; how genial the air of the home, radiating from the welcome of the cordial hostess and her lovely daughters, Mrs. Foster Comegys. Mrs. Benton McMillan and Mrs. Felix Williams. The meeting was largely attended and the drawing room soon well filled. The guests came early, I giving an interval for charming little tele-a-tete talks. hut at the hour, the rap of the regent's gavel called the meet ing to order. « This being the season of notable an niversarics, the regentts opening talk wxas along that line, a little classic worth giving in full. She said: "This is the Seassont of birthdays, mom-.rable in our history The whole country is preparing to celebrate with pomp and ceremony the centennial of Abraham Lincoln. With the lapse of years. lime, the great assiager, has tempered passion and abated hitterness, so that we of the South have clearer vision, and can see that to save the Union was Lincoln's I one aim. Throughout the Southland tributes have been pronounced and chaplets woven in memory of the great soldier an] Christian gentleman, our own Rob ert E. Lee, the greatest military chief tain of modern times. The cennial of Poe. the "wizard poet," was fitly celebrated at his alma mater, the University of Virginia. Of Poe Tennyson said: "He is the glory of American literature." On the 22nd of February the civilized world will unite in doing honor to him who was "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." Of whom Byran said: "Bequeath the name of Washington. To make men blush there was but one." And in the roll call of the great men, like "fire pillars" of our country, one feels like exclaiming with Daniel Web ster, "Thank God. I too, am an Ameri can." May we too, members of the Peli can Chapter 'Daughters of the American Revolution, ever stand united in all pa triotic work, striving together for the greatest thing in the world-love-the love of country, the love of humanity, and, above all, the love of God. The Lord's prayer was repeated l1y all standing, led by Dr. Hawkins. Following this, sketches were read by Mrs. Williams of Green and Lafayette, the devoted and confidential friends of the great Washington. In response to the request of the Chapter, Mis. Foster-Comegys read a charming little poem "The Proposal." Oh, the music of words, in the heart felt thought she left with us. The lilt of the lines and the sweet clear ring of the voice was, indeed, a song of spring. "It isn't raining rain to me, But fields of clover bloom; Where every bucaneering bee Can get a bed and room." A health unto the happy A fig for him who frets: It isn't raining rain to me. It's raining violets." Exquisite vocal selections were con tributhd by Mrs. Benton McMillan, with delicate touch playing her own accom paniment, and by Mrs. Mary Field, with Mrs. Rendall accompanying. After this charming programme came an invitation from the hostess to the tea room. How bright and beautiful the scene!-and artistic the setting of the tea tables. Behind the steaming urn Mrs. Foster-Comegys pouring the am ber beverage into dainty cups,-such an array of Haverlin and Sevres, most of them souvenirs of travel, and rare old pieces of china, belonging to the family silver, with which the table was adorned. A pair of quaint slender sugar tongs, otle hundred years old, and a dish of rich design, are among the heirlooms dearly prized by the family. Tea and entrees and fruit cake and confections all enjoyed, with the sparkle of conversation. As the guests filled the big hallway passing out, they stopped a moment to admire the grace of the dainty maiden, Eleanor McMillan,' the Tennessee granddaughter of the house, as she danced to a tripping measure. The shades of evening were enwrapping Curraghmuir when the guests departed, with happy memories of another notable meeting of the Pelican Chapter. UNCLE REMUS MEMORIAL AS SOCIATION. The plan is to purchase "Snap Bean Farm" and the preservation of his home, "the' sign of the Wren's Nest." The front yard will be converted into a park on which will be erected a memorial fountain, with a frieze, containing all f UtI 'tle Remus" animals, with a ai *L.ýs.[SFý <Haesrin,\,ad Y' u 9 t~ ai 'ý,e3- 9 _.

During Mrs. Dale's visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. V. Grosjean. many social courtesies stcre extended her, all of which she was forced to declined on account of sick ness in the family. Mrs. Dale's work as dramatic reader, has gone steadily forward, giving her recognition in theatrical circles of the great metropolis. Hier frien'l at hotle are justly proud of her talent, which was discovered by an appreciative teach er, when she was an eighth grade pupil in the public school. Mrs. Dale has a career which is just beginning. OUR NAVEL C.ANDETS. A visit from Cadet Homer Curlec. re cently returned from a long cruise, was ;ni unexpected pleasure to his friends and former teachers at the central school. Instead of the slip stooped youth of four years ago, a tall, muscnlar, fine looking fellow stands before you and tslls of tht" Ih diays at hont , and the life at Annitmolis. Cadet Curlee gra lI cited last October. and since then has "sailed the seas." So fascinated is lie with the sailors life that lie left yester dav for the naval academy where he will re-enlist. lie has the best wishes of friends for an onward adl upward career. Another cadet of whom we are proud is Lew Ross, who has made the trip around the world on the battleship Maine. This notable warship was sent to Venizuela to protect American inter ests, and was also at Havana. when General Magoon's provisional authority expired and President Gomez assumed the reins of government. General Ma goon returned to New York on the Maine. On the roth the Maine will again go on an important misssion which will he to meet and greet Admiral Sperry's fleet in mid-ocean. A sailor bold, is our Shreveport boy with this wide and varied experience. A visit home is contemplated when the ships come in. Then he can and will talk for himself. Sam WVeigler, our recent appointment to Annapolis, is doing excellent work and sends home a good account of him self. THE ART LECTURE. An appreciative audience heard Dr. Powers Wednesday night in his illus trated lecture on "Athens, the Shrine of Culture." Dr. Powers is a scholar, and an enthusiastic traveler: he is well prepared to interpret the high and beau tiful thins in art, which he did min utely, but he speaks too rapidly, and with his face turned partly from the audience in following the moving pic tures of his art treasury, it is difficult to closely follow him. To Misses How ell and Soape, who introduced Dr. Pow ers to a Shreveport audience, we are indebted for hearing his artistic inter pretations of the great masterpieces in Greek art. PERSONALS. Mrs. Felix Williams left during the week for New York, where she will spend a month enjoying a visit to friend's and the best things in opera and drama.' Mr. and Mrs. T. Arthur Winter of ColviHe, Wash., whose ten days visit to Shreveport, Mrs. Winter's girlhood home, was so delightful, left Thursday evening, returning via Passadena, to visit relatives. Mrs. Winter when in Shreveport was the special guest of relatives and girlhood friends. Mrs. Troupe Nelson. Mrs. Victor Fulton, Mrs. John Comegys and Mrs. Homer Jordan. She was amazed at Shreve port's growth and progress and promises another visit in a twelve month. Miss Mary Scott, who has been out of school on account of illness, has re turned to Shreveport and' is again with her aunt. Mrs. P. Your"e. SATURDAY MARKET.

Natchitoches Enterprise: At the criminal term of court recently held in Red River Parish the report of the grand jury was a most remarkable one, particularly as it was the first grand jury empaneled since January 1908. Eighty-three cases were investigated and only 28 true bills found, 55 no bills and three cases continued for lack of evidence. And all the indictments, with one or two ,exceptions, were for minor offenses. This splendid condition of affairs is due to prohibition which is being strict ly enforced, the illegal sale of whiskey which was a fruitful source of trouble a couple of years back having been almost entirely wiped out, only two indictments for the whole year having been re turned. The Enterprise congratulates its neighbor upon this splendid condition of affairs, and hopes that it will con tinue and the good people of Red River Parish will reap the great reward that i is sune to bring. A TRIAL MARRIAGE The Contract Time Expired at the End of Five Year:. Lottie Atic Weer in the New Or leans States: A strange incident has come to light; luckily the circunstance is met a commton one else the futia tion of civilization and higher life would l e wealteniei if t lt entirely shati tered. We have polluted our refine ment by reading of "highr ll ee" ai advoncated hv" enamor-i1 unhteen cel minds. ;nul a 111(0 modern toplic of "trial 4tarriage " The very term imt phies a wanton sacrileg- hut il(re ii tie :m actual demtonstration of these theo rists. There is but one redeeming feat tire in tili-. revolting contract a dl that is, that the couple lived to thit limit of their contract time, five ve;ir", wherei in that time the average tiarrieid iinpl throw off the shackles of wedlock :\ San Francisco tm ninl wiman agreed to live together" and if at the end of five years their felicity c-ottin 'ed they woubtd renew their contract for ;t stated permed. The contract time hal iGcenthe ex pired an dlthe mart in tilt ceve a."erts that :t "trial m1erraiige i- w o ;t -I Icce lie says "hoth of it itinl that our liberty hals been tilI greatly restricted. I have been taking tiy wife evervtther- I go. anl I donnt prropowse to hare to It, it any inure. She feel. the .ante way ibiutt her etifirced deference ii tilty wishtesl in many respects. We hact c given our con tract a fair trial. antd ste have decided hilt to renew it." Let its hope that we imay have no more of "trial marriage" whether it prove successful or not. We may swin dile institutions, defraud widows, or phans, employer or the public in general, falsify and perjure ourselves. but, in the face of all commission of crime, marriage should remain inviolate, a sac rament whose desecration forfeits the respect of fellow citizens and lowers the moral status of generations to come. Crime rests heavily upon posterity, and as a rule, is not eradicated in a genera tion, it is leprous in its inroads and re appearances. We can meet in open session to dis cuss evils of the day and strive to over throw menaces, can drag our spirit of pride and innate modesty in the mire to gain cleanly supremacy. but looming up mightier than prison reform, juvenile vagrancy and other lesser evils is this cult of atheists whose intellects are clogged, whose spirits are poison soaked and who dare to flaunt the out come of "trial marriage." "ALLIGATOR STEAK." The New York Sun seems to be very indignant at report that "alligator steak will be one of the treats that Mr. Taft would enjoy while in New Or leans." The Sun must not know that alligator steak is a great dish among the darkeys and for Mr. Taft to remain on good terms with Louisiana Republi canh he must eat heartily of the steak. -Grant Parish Democrat. Having feasted on "possum" in Geor gia it follows that Mr. Taft should be treated to alligator steaks in Louisiana. With possum and alligator steaks in his system Mr. Taft may become practically Southetn. instead of the visionary theo rist that he is, particularly in connection with the negro and the Republicanizing of any of the States whose ideal 4f gov ernment is based on the teachings and the principles enunciated by Thomas Jefferson and maintained by Andrew Jackson and the other stalwarts of the Democracy.
