: problem put up to me constantly by In

Can it be done3 Fortunately the answer
is yes. How1 By being always feminine
charmingly, cOlOfully, daintily feminine.
But first of all you yourself must feel
your own daintiness, womanliness, before
you can impress others.
One of the surest ways for wife to gain
perfect confidence in her dainty, lovely
femininity is to wear charming lingerie and
negligees.
Wonderful colors, soft, shimmering ma
terials, lace-edged undertakings! They just
make woman believe in herseE-feel her
inherent charm as a woman. :
ia woman but keeps all this loveliness
at its very best-as beautiful as when it
came, new, from its tissued box, she Is
captain of her fate-irresistible.
Because she believes in herself she makes
Others believe in her. Confidence is con-
tagious.
Keep COIOrs Charming
But, wI,men tell me, it is SO difficult to
wear lovely undertakings GI'OGys and keep

when they were new. Frequent washing

the lovely cplor and charm out of the

case, but it need never be, so if women

diction OF fair weather today cheered
workers along the line from Shreveport
to Alexandria in their task Of strength
ening and raising levees Of the Red

A respite from rainfall not only ia
cilitated the reinforcing and sandbag-

no serious damage would result from
the high water which the Government
Weather Bureau has said soon will ap-

flood of 1927.
Work continued here today on the
secondary levee that has been con-
structed around the section of the Red
River levee at Shreve Island, just below
here, that appeared to be crumbling
early yesterday.
Highways Flooded.
Highways INTO Shreveport from the
forth and East still were flooded from
the overflow Of streams swollen by rains.
Trafflc on the Dixie Overland high
way was stopped at the eastern end of
the traffic bridge in Bossier City, just
across the Red River from Shreveport.
The Pershing highway was closed from
Bernice to Shreveport. Thus far there

While the Shreveport section still
bore the brunt Of flood waters mainly
from bayous and overflow, the Red
spilled over yesterday on both sides in
Red River parish and was moving into
Natchitoches parish with telling effect.
A newspaper survey of the back
water around Shreveport revealed thou

but few people or live stock were re-

T. J. Wilkinson, planter of Red River
parish, narrowly escaped with his life

From o'clock until we'll along in
the evening there were exhibitions
of the terpsichorean art that in
many instances outshone more ma
ture professionals. Children from
q foot high up showed the most be-
wildering array of youthful dancing
talent seen on the local boards this
season. Well trained, showing none
of the usual earmarks Of stage fright,
these youngsters provided an eve

devotees of the muse well might
envy.
This years revue had for its
theme q Zeppelin ride that stopped

aches that accompany colored pic

irritant of defective sound apparat-
us is almost entirely lacking. 1t Is.
candidly speaking, mighty good
film.
"The vagabond King" has, Of
course, an excellent story to begin
with. The sudden rise of the young
poet and frequenter of Paris most
notorious tavern to the kingship of
France and the heart conqueror of
Louis xI's niece is a theme that
promises well wherever it may be.
In this case, thanks to Dennis
Kings singing and o. p. Heggie's
acting, 1t blossoms with renewed
vigor. The added sequence Of VIII
Ions waking to find himself meta
morphosed from brawling tavern
drunkard into grand marshal OF
France is, furthermore, not only a
pleasing sidestep from the original,
but highly amusing one. Another
surprising thing about this picture Is
that the producers have refrained
from introducing a trained chorus
for dancing purposes every second or
so, thus turning Louis XII story
into a vaudeville show, as they had
every cnance 10 90.
Dennis Kings vocal contributions
in the title role are among the films
greatest assets. His acting, however,
Is overdone-especially during the
"Vagabond Song" when his arms
move like early-morning calisthsnics.
o. p. Heggie plays the part of Louis
Macdonald Is appealing as his
niece, and Lillian Roth is the most
satisfying of this century's Hugettes.

program include Graham McNamee

''Dead" Mexican SmasLes Coffin,

MEXICO CITY, April 5.-Juan Garcia, 24-year-old clerk living near Atzacapotzalcogn, a Mexico City suburb, saved himself from the grave, but nearly sent his startled relatives there when he suddenly broke from his coffin while being transported to a cemetery.
 Following an extremely heavy meal with wine, Garcia suddenly collapsed and physician pro- nounced him dead.
 Funeral arrangements were made, and inasmuch as burial in Mexico City follows death without delay the cortege started to the cemetery and in thirty minutes more Garcia would have been inferred.
 He recovered, however, to break the lid from the coffin, to the ter TOT of the pallbearers and mourn CTS, who fled in panic.
