PARIS, September s, 1913.
Evening wraps are taking up a con-
siderable amount of ones attention here.
In Paris the wrap is an important adj
tunct TO the costume. for the French
woman has considered it a necessity for
centuries. whereas the American consid-
cred il luxury until the last half dozen
years. Only the rich women possessed
more than one evening wrap with us. and
masses of women used a warm topcoat
which, probably. had TO serve for the
day as Well as the night.
In Paris the Anglo-Saxon sport coat
IS not the necessity of wardrobe as it
Is with US; their climate is chilly enough

on a different method. Only the women
who are compelled to work go out before
noon. and the leisure class rarely walks.
and when II drives II wears wraps Of
@lr or satin that make no pretense Of
belonging to the street.

distance because riding is so cheap, and

method of dressing is entirely different
from in country where every one walks.
as In England and America. II is true
the French have good-looking sport
coats for July and August az the sea-
shore and for November and December
IN the mountains. but they do not use
them much in city life.
This is the reason that the elaborate
wrap. the kind that envelops the lgure
and Is warm and artistic. is necessity

ever she can afford il she has II OF fur.
The Frenchwoman dearly loves fur.

no business there, and SO he was very

he happened to be there. The owner of
the squeaky voice heard him all through

Crystal Spider Web Wrap.

The jet wrap which is woven in a spider
web design has rival sister in white
crystal. also lined with flesh pink chiffon
satin. The soft material is held in by
big scalloped bank Of white panne vel
vet and the ornaments at the chest are
of white crystals and pearls. This is for
a debutante and is one of the most artis-
tic wraps of the day
There are other kinds OF evening wraps
which are made for warmth as much as
for beauty, but they all have the same
line that cuts the figure across the waist
at the back. Many OF these are of fur
and velvet combined. One such wrap has
an unusually large upper part OF ermine.

could be sure that he was keeping in the
direction in which he wanted to go.
He was growing little bit discouraged
when he came to little path. the dear
est little path he had ever seen. It was
such a teeny, weeny path, right under the
tall grasses. that it was almost like a
tunnel. Now. Little Pete knew that. Of
course, this little path had been made
by some one and that it was probably
used by some one. So, of course, as long
as he didn't know who that some one
was. he should have been very careful
about using it. But he was so delighted
to find an easier place to run that he
didn't stop to think about anything else.
II he had been any bigger he couldn' I
have used it, but as il was, by keeping

nicely.

great deal since he became lost on the
great, shadowy Green Meadows. and now,

hiding place before jolly, round, red Mr.

take care OF himself. OF course, he felt

lonesome. but he tried his best not to

to smile. You see, he had found out that
a smile helps wonderfully, and even when
there was nothing to smile at if lie
smiled he felt better.
Now. Little Pete was a very. very small
rabbit to be out in the great wide world
all alone. He found that his little legs
soon grew tired. especially where the
grass was tall. and it was hard work to
get through. And yet he felt that these
tall grasses We're his friends. for they
hid him from hungry eyes. such as those

Columbus, o., March 26.-
At $3.50 o'clock this afternoon,
John Bell, wire chief at Day
ton, telephoned Governor Cox
here that the fire in the flood
ed district at Dayton had
leaped across Third street, and
was sweeping the next block.
Governor Cox was advised, via
Springfield, that 10000 to l2,-
600 persons were in the burn
ing buildings. They are fight
ing the fires, lifting the water
in buckets from the flood.
Three carloads of boats, on
a special train from SPRING
field, passed Xenia at 2:45,
and are due in Dayton at $3.50.
Governor Cox at once notified
Bell, who shouted the good
news across the street to the
fire fighters. The Y. M. c. A.
in Dayton is trying to direct
the flood-rescue operations. Its
members started in rowboats
to meet the train and pilot the
rescuers to the scene of the fire
Edward Hanley, a wealthy
Dayton man, notified Governor
Cox, via Springfield, at $3.50
that he estimated the fatali-
ties at mot more than 3OOO."
The Beckel hotel in Dayton
took fire at noon, but the
guests fought the flames des-
perately and managed to sub
due them. One frantic Dayton
man, in the governors office
here, offered $4,000 cash to
anyone who would take him
into Dayton. He said the mon
ey was all he could raise, but
it was worth that much to
learn whether his family in the
stricken district were alive or
dead.

Columbus o., March Z6.-
Fire is sweeping Dayton this
afternoon, and its residents
are meeting death in the
flames, according to informa-
ton received by Governor Cox
here.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon
the governor announced his
determination to reach Dayton
with state troops and assist
ance, regardless of cost. He
plans to send train to Cleve-
land, and from there to Toledo,
hoping to reach Piqua or Troy
from that city. He hopes to
send militia and supplies and
newspaper men into Dayton
by boats from Troy.
With every minute bringing
news of fresh disasters there
is not a doubt this afternoon
that hundreds, possibly thou
sands, of human beings have
perished in Ohio and Indiana
in the terrific floods which are
making of those states one vast
grave. No man can say with
in hundreds how many lives
have been lost.
Probably 1000 souls have
perished in Dayton, according
to the secretary of Governor
Cox, of Ohio. Later reports
say that hundreds are being
burned alive, pened like rats
in the upper stories of flood
isolated buildings.
Eighty miles Of the rich Mi
ami valley, in which Dayton
lies, is a waste of tossing
waters, bearing on their
breast the bodies of countless
humans and animals, killed by
the flood.
From all over Indiana and
Ohio come momentarily wild
