Police Matron Taylor took ''victorine. .
a French woman, TO Steilacoom yester-
day. "Victorine'' was in the asylum a
short time ago. She talks about drown
ing herself and sometimes runs around In
abbreviated costumes.
Yesterday when the matron would at
tempt to dress Victorine she would take
off her clothes faster than the matron
could put them on. Just as the party
was finally ready TO go it was discovered
that Nictorine had hidden her shoes. They
were found in a sink. and as only a few
minutes remained before the train went
the matron tried to help her prisoner
on with the shoes in quick time. The
result was that the matron got the right
shoe on the wrong foot and CONSERVATION
ensued. Capt Hosle said he wondered
how they caught the train.
