The Battle of
WandeWaSh
BY Rev. Thomas B. Gregary.

TIME Battle of Wandewash,
fought 1853 years ago, has
not received the place in
world history to which it is enti-
tled. Off hand, not one person in
thousand would be able to say
where, when or between what con-
testants the battle was fought
and yet Wandewash gave England
the proud empireship of India, that
wonderland, with it's 300,000,0O0 of
people, its magnificent plains,
mountains and rivers; its gems and
gold and all its wealth of ancient
story.
In 1745, just before Give took
charge in the great Oriental PENN
sula, the prospect was blue for
England. The French, with head
quarters at Pondicherry, seemed
everywhere to have the advantage
which, they could not very well lose.
Under the leadership of Dufeix
they were winning triumphs on
every hand, and the outlook for
the Britisher was most forlorn.
Only at Fort St David, a few
miles south of Pondicherry. where
Give and a few other fugitives
found shelter, did England have
any sort of a hold upon the soil of
India.
But Give was host within him
self. and his heaven born genius"
soon began to make itself felt in
ways that were to prove substan-
tial and permanent. At Plassy and
Arcot Give put new race upon
the English situation in the land of
the Rajahs, and the rule of the
French was shaken to its founda-
ton
That rule was, however, still su-
preme in the Ocean. as well as in
the great region known as the
Northern Circuit" and to make
matters worse, Give, prostrated by
the climate and his excessive la
bors, was forced to return to Eng
land for rest and recuperation.
Such was the situation in 1860
when Sir Eyre Coote won the great
victory at WandeWash over the
French General Lally. Between
WandeWash and Waterloo there is
vast difference in fame. as well
as in the numbers engaged and the
celebrity of the chief actors, but
despite this difference the fact is
indisputable that what Waterloo
did for French rule in Europe
Wandewash did for the same rule
in the orient
There is, by the way. a lot of real
human interest in the story of the
two men who commanded the
opposing forces at Wandevash-
Coote and Lally
To begin with. they were both
Irishmen. Coote was born in Linn
erick, and Lally, though born i'm
France. came of Irish stock which
emigrated to France along with the
StuartS.
And both, again. are admirable
illustrations of the fckleness of
fate and the INCONSISTENCY of for

security died full of honor and glo-
ny, and was given his everlasting
memorial in the great Abbey by
the Thames.

There you are Warren pointed

the top fiuttered white banners and

great exposition building than a
store.
But when they left the bus Helen
was astonished to find that all along
the sidewalk in front of the store
were stalls. piled high with the
cheapest kind of merchandise.
There were tables OF crockery,
kitchenware, cotton dresses and
waists, and around each was a chat

ing over the goods. Large cardboard
signs-"50 centimes," Il franc %

lauded Paris lingerie?
AT last, in some glass cases. where
the most expensive models were dis
played. she found some exquisite
low neck, short sleeved gowns.
How much? Quel prix?' Helen de-
manded Of a passing clerk, pointing
to a garment in the case.
The girl opened the case and looked
at the ticket. Helen could not under
stand her. but. STOPPING over. she read
the ticket herself-90 francs. Eighteen
dollars.
Helen tried to make her understand
with few words of French, much
English and many gestures that she
wanted to see some gowns of that cut,
but much less expensive. The girl
touched loud gong. which was a sig
nal for an English speaking clerk, and
one promptly appeared.
Almost all of our low neck and
short sleeved gowns are in the expen-
sive models" the clerk explained. But,
of coures, we have some for less than
90 francs. Now, here is quite pretty
gown for 25 francs"
Seven dollarsl Except for her trous-
seau Helen had never paid 81 for a
nightgown in her life. And she had no
intention of paying it in Paris. where
she had expected to get things ridicu-
1 lously cheap.
well, I'll let the nightgowns go for
the present, but I'd like 10 see some

favor the combinations. which all
opened in the back. "And they're all

ONLY ONE PURCHASE
Helen expressed her astonishment
that in Paris. where fit and style were
supposed to be perfected, they should
have only three sizes. instead of the
eight-from 80 to 46-that are car
ried by every American store!
The intention to buy enough lin
gerie while in Paris to last her for the
next two years was somewhat shaken.
And she finally left the department,
having made just one purchase-a
white skirt with hand embroidered
flounce. Even this she could not get
the right length. 1t would have to be
shortened when she got it home.
From the lingerie Helen walked
down the broad marble staircase TO

the stairs were dozen or more tables
overburdened with parasols She had
never seen so many parasols together
in her life. Most of them were brill

that the French women wear with
their evening gowns. They lay in care
less glittering heaps, shimmering with
gold and silver spangles and iridescent
headings.
Helen had thought the hues and
fabrics in the shops at home particu-
larly loud this year. but they were
mild and subdued compared with the
riotous coloring of everything here.
In spite of the whirring electric
fans. the heat was excessive, and be-
fore Helen had explored half the de-
partments of the Galleries Lafayette
she was exhausted.
GOOD TO RETURN
Although she had spent most OF tho
day there, her purchases were trivial.

stores have bargain basements-here
they have stalls outside the shop.
Now I've got to leave you. Don't
overdo 1t and get too tired. Better

her soon banished the momentary
feeling OF loneliness as Warren dis

Although Helen had often heard
that the Galleries Lafayette was one
of the best Paris shops. this street
sale of goods made her most skepti-

that it was really very beautiful

they left the hotel together. You
can take bus from there for the

who dreaded starting out alone.

It was going to be another hot day.

French lingerie is a luxury coveted
by every American woman. and as

heart beat with expectation.
On every side was network of
tables and counters heaped with white
garments-chemisett jupons and
