CROWD Is AMUSED
BY TRIANGLE CLUB
Simply Cynthia" Well Pre-
sented by College Boys.

New Orleans at Madri Gras, when King
Carnival holds high reign and every one
is devotee of Momus, is the setting
chosen by the Princeton Triangle Club
for their latest musical comedy, Simply
Cynthia" which was presented at the
Columbia yesterday afternoon before an
audience which filled every available seat
and threatened to overflow into F street.
The piece was brimful of life, color.
and college spirit, and the almost con-
tinuous applause of the audience showed
| that they had lost little or none of their
enthusiasm since last they saw the
campus
The plot of the piece somehow got lost
after the first act had gotten we'll under
way, but no one seemed to mind the loss,
and the enthusiastic call for encores
kept up until the final curtain, for the
authors of the play had had the good
sense to put two of the best topical
numbers, Il Want to be a Countess"
and "A Big Broad Grin at the last of
the performance, and these songs kept
the audience from sending a detective
out to discover the shreds of the plot.
As usual in the Princeton productions.
the fads and follies Of the day came in
for a goodly share of attention. Par
tlcularly was this the case IN the duet
Fashion in the second act when the
appearance of four young ladies' attired
respectively in a hoop skirt, a hobble
skirt, sheath gown, and a pair of
harems" caused large amount of amuse-
ment. particularly among the feminine
members of the audience.
The work of all the members Of the
cast was so uniformly good that 1t is
difficult to pick any particular ones as
Icing stars. but L. T. Getty, II, and
lie r. K. Howe, II, as Mrs. Dixon and
Rita Sachrino and A. ". Bachrach, II,
and J. F. Thompson. II, as Clarence and
Godfrey Bangs. received the major share
cf the applause in the male and "fe-
male portions of the cast. Thompson
and Howes duet at the end of the play
and Bachrach's grotesque Louisiana
Rag" were the hits of the afternoon.
II. p. Elliott, IA, a Washington boy,
was intrusted with the role of Cynthia,
the queen of the carnival, and received
large amount of applause for his clever
work in Proposing" and MIR. Apollo"
The music was catchy and tuneful, and
not nearly as reminiscent as are most
college scores.
According to custom, the performance
ended with the entire company singing
"Old Nassau" in which the audience
Joined, and then cheers were given for
Washington and the alma mater, putting
a touch of true college spirit to a most
enjoyable afternoons entertainment.

Ambassador Jusserand made an elo-
quent address. He said 1t was a pleasure
for Frenchman to visit Washington. Pi-
rectly in front Of the White House
grounds the visiting Frenchman could OBJ
serve statues of Lafayette and Rocham-
beau. In the House Of Representatives
hung portrait in oil Of Lafayette.
We had the confidence and respect of
Americans in the days of adversely of
their country" said Ambassador Jusse-
rand. TT is a beautiful sentiment ex-
pressed here to-day. 1t is sweet, indeed,
to realize that France stands high in the
esteem of America in the days of her
prosperity. France and America are at
peace, and the bonds of amity and friend
ship never will be broken"

AMERICA HONORS
FRENCH SOLDIERS
Continued from Pare One.

tinguished Ambassador from France, it
Is hitting that I should limit what have
to say to very few sentences
1t is true, as the Ambassador has said
| that in Washington there are many evil
dences Of the grateful memory that we
| cherish toward the leaders of the French
troops and the French navy that came
here. Lafayette was with us SO much in
that struggle that, as we pay our debt
OF gratitude to him. we almost forget that
he was a Frenchman. and believe that he
was one OF US. And so In the monu-
ments TO Rochambeau and others. the
element of the personal manifests itself,
| and we feel the gratitude to the man
But here. where the men whose memory
we celebrate are unknown to US by name
the very impersonality of the occasion
makes it distinctly the gratitude Of
nation to a nation.
Little Imagination.
"A friend in need is a friend indeed. II
needs but little imagination to carry us
back to those dark days Of Valley Forge,
and even to the later years in 17so, when
Rochambeau with that army landed at
Newport, to realize how much 1t meant
to us and our struggle for liberty that
those leaders and those men should be
10 SdCrlIlCe themselves Tor a ma
ton far across the sea, with whom they
had no association, simply to carry out
the idea of liberty
I'VE have attempted ir our country to
learn a lesson from France in those
days. and in our own history we have
attempted to help other people onto their
feet in their struggle for independence
and liberty.
THE island of Cuba testifies to our
willingness to give a people independence.
and, though she stumbled again, to put
our arms under her arms and place her
on her feet. And who can say that the
lesson which France taught US in those
days, more than 100 years ago, did not lead
US to the self-denying ordinance which
was passed as we began the Spanish
war. and to the policy which was pur-
sued thereafter in insisting that Cuba
should remain Independent, and not be-
come a part of our dominion?
Now, my friends, / congratulate the
Sons of the Revolution in having erected
this most appropriate monument on
academic ground to celebrate the
warmth of feeling that we entertain both
for the individuals who sacrificed their
lives for us and for the nation with
whom We are delighted to recollect our
period of amity in the past and to well
come closer union and bond Of friendship
in the future

Auckland. NJ 1.-THE most impor.

the seasons. the uniform fall of rain.
and the suitability of the soil for grow
ing Of nutritious grasses, turnips.

London Shoemakers Have Known
This for Some Time.
Day Of Marrow, Pointed Shoe Has

to Be Factor In In

London.-That the women OF the
present generation have larger feet
than their mothers had. which, accord
ing to cabled dispatches. was the
unanimous finding of the National Con-
ference OF American Shoe Manufactur-
ers, came as something of a surprise
to society women, but not to their
shoemakers. They have known it for
q long time. but kept a discreet silence
on the question.
The managers of Messrs. Seadon
royal family In King street, st. James.
said: Yes, 1t is quite true that women
are wearing bigger shoes nowadays.
and that 1t is easily accounted for.
The modern girl is much taller than
her mother or grandmother was. That
Is the result OF the athletic exercises,
the outdoor sports and generally
healthier life she leads. See the wo-
men who are our customers. They all
belong to the upper classes. and they
are all tall. You cannot expect tall
woman to wear a small shoe. The day
