BEHAVES.
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Lowell. Ind, March 29.-The Kanka-
kee river at Shelby and Schneider is
still within its banks. but Eingleton
ditch, two miles north. is on a ram
page. Its banks are overfiowed and
bottoms are sea of water for as far
as the eye can see. One house on the
Neil Brown ranch has two feet of wa
ter in it, compelling the family occu-
pying it to move out, and the founda-
tion of a new house being built by
Contractor Rumsey is nearly submerg-
ed. Surface water surrounds a number
of houses north of Schneider and the
people have to wade out or use boats
to get to higher land. but there is no
imminent danger of damage. The wa
ter in the river is slowly rising. but it
is thought by old residents that it will
not get over the banks John and Bar
ringer Brown have about thirty men
patrolling the dikes night and day.

warmth and cheer to the thousands Of

With it came the news that the toll
of death collected by the devastating
waters. at first estimated at 5000, had
shrunk to 200. and that the first reports
of the disaster outside OF the loss OF
property. were greatly exaggerated.
But the inundate area presented a

Inc young girl IN france in
auiges In no eccentricity of
fashion.
The young girl does NOT go
into society, except to certain
functions with her mother or 9TH
err chaperon.
When you see her at her moth
er's lat home day" she sits quiet
ly and you seldom hear a word,
except "oui' or mon" when she
answers some perfectly good"
question asked her by her mother
You will see no eccentricities
of fashion on the young girl of
good family, and 1 think perhaps
that is the reason why so many
of our overdressed girls who
travel complain of insults from
Frenchmen.
OF course, American girls are
prettier than Franch girls, for the
American girl has intelligence in
her face and, thank the fates, We
are getting to know that women
cannot be beautiful unless they
have mental fascination and spir-
itual charm, as well as physical
beauty.
The pictures I am sending you
are of the very latest gowns worn
by the young girls in the best
French families, and truly they
are as chic as they are modest.
American girls under twenty
would do we'll to copy these
styles.
There is also another thing in
the young Parisienne's favor.
Every French woman of good So
ciety knows HOW TO WEAR her
clothes. 1t is one of the first
things taught little girls-and
one they retain until the last.
Notice the grace of the new
carriage as the French girl prac-
tees it and contrast it with that
you see on 9Th avenue and Broad
way.

Tell us How,


Dear Miss Grey: We two girls of Is. We
have good name, and fair complexion. One
day as we were coming home from the park
where we had been playing tennis we met a boy
whom we had never seen before. He tipped his
hat, and started conversation with us; but as
we had only block to go home, we did not have
chance to talk long, so we couldn't find out
anything about him, although he has good ap-
pearance.
Miss Gray, you have helped others so hope
you will help us by telling us how we can find
out his name, for he will not tell u.s. and also if
he is a sensible boy. We do not wish to get into
bad company, as we never have and do not wish
to. Thanking you very much, D. L.
A. If you do not wish to get into bad company,
why take up with boy you do not know? You at
least know THAT is not right, and [ Will wager
doughnuts to dimes you have not told your mother
a thing about it. If you have not, it shows the
face of it that you think it not quite right, but ain
glad you wrote me, for [ tell you honestly that
no sensible boy will force his company on girls he
does not know. Do not feel fattered by it, for it is
anything but complimentary. A manly fellow would
not be so rude

AT THE PRINCESS

Probably never in the history
of stock company plays in Tacoma
has a more powerful play been
presented than Madame X, ;"
which opened weeks run at the
Princess theater yesterday. And
it is safe to say that no drama has
ever been presented here by stock
players in a more forcible and
really emotional manner than the
Princess players are doing with
this potent play.
1t is the story of a wife and
mother, who runs away, returns
begging forgiveness, and is turn
ed from her own home. She be-
comes drug-crazed bag, and, 20
years later, kills the man who has
learned the secret of her identity.
She is arrested, tried. and the
young lawyer appointed for her,
with divine intuition, makes a
plea that liberates her from the
tolls. The lawyer is the prison
er's son, and the play ends with

persons confuse it with purity,
from which it differs greatly. For
the pure have knowledge and
strength to resist. and the inno-
cent do not know what they might
do under temptation.
The Frenchman, however, does
not confuse innocence and purity.
He literally does not want the
woman he marries to have any
knowledge of life and its respon-
sfbilities. But he seemly wants
her to acquire it Immediately she
marries him!
This is the reason why young
girls in France are never allowed
to read the great French novels
nor see the great French plays.
