FRIDAY, MARCH 89, 1607. 6 THE MORNING ASTOIilAN, ASTORIA. OREGON, Chaperon Tty Virginia Leila WtntM Copyright, by E. C Pwwili Mrs. James DU mi looking out cross the Rue de Rivoll at the inorn . Ing's brightness of the Tullerles gsr . dens when tbe boy In tbe bote) lift brought her a cablegram. It was a message from her lord and master la Chicago uVlurlug that her Immediate presence was required. At ou all the brightness faded out of the Tullerles, for the frivolous gnyety of Parla had been especially attractive to this portly, easy going, good natured matron of the west. ' "But, mother, you'll have to go aloue. It'll be a whole month before my slur lug .lessons are finished, you know," broke In Elya, who was having tier flaxen hair shampooed by a real Pari tlan hairdresser. , - Mrs. Dlz clasped her ring bedecked, putlgy hands. be always clasped her bauds when she agreed about anything. "You'll have to have a chaperon, of coarse, dear," she added. "Now, who can we get on such a little notice r There was silence for a moment, while the deft fingers of the hairdress er ran through the flaxen hair with a toothing touch. Then Elya's girlish voice sounded in a delightful treble: "Oh, mother! I know the very per son. She's terribly nice and awfully ladylike" (Elya always emphasised her adverbs and used Indiscriminate oues at that), "and she's an American, and that's tbe best of all ouch!" In her agerness she'd turned her bead a bit too suddenly, and some soap had got In fcer sapphire eye. v "On, I know who you mean," helped out Mrs. Dix, while her daughter strug gled with tbe soap. "You mean Miss Clemmens, the governess to that little English boy who died last week? .Yes, he's looking for another engagement, that's true. And she certainly is a lady." S Miss Dorothy Clemmens of New York was engaged to- chaperon Elya Dix for a mouth in Paris and then bring her back to America. To console herself for her mother's departure, Elya bad Miss Clemmens . secure tickets for that night's opera. She eat in a box in her young beauty set off by a $200 Paquin gown and se renely allowed the audleuce to stare. Already she was learning that the mission of the beauty is to support modistes and to be stared at Behind her, robed Is some soft, inexpensive gray stuff, with a narrow white lace collar, sat her chaperon. The opens, was "Siegfried," the scher- so of Wagner's great symphony, as Lavignac has called it Upon Miss Clemmens' music parched" soul (she'd sot beard an opera for over a year) it fell like gracious dew and fetched a tweet refreshment When the orches tra tells the mood of Siegfried in the second act feeling the first fret of awakened passion, her eyes shone like tars, ber Hps parted slightly, and Just , at that juncture a man In the audience caught ber perfect profile as she leaned llphtly forward. That same look, downward and side-1 wise and smiling! That exquisite bead In its cloud of wavy dark hair! Paul .Demarest brushed away the years that bad blurred it all, and then suddenly be remembered. Yes, be remembered. Oh, It was so long ago, so many years ago! " And she was In the same box with that gay little butterfly, that American flirt, Elya Dix. Bless Elya Dix! It was the first time he had ever felt grateful to ber. He would make bis way to her box at tbe end of the second act. "Why, Mr. Demarest! I'm awfully glad to see you I honestly am! Thought you'd forgotten me. And I'm all alone now mother sailed unex pectedly for home this morning and I'm all alone now." Elya greeted him In ber young untamed effusiveness as be entered the box. ... "All aloner he questioned gravely. "Well, there's Miss'; Clemmens here, my chaperon. By the way, she's an American .too.. Miss .Clemmens, . Mr. Demarest. You've heard mother speak of bim, I'm sure. -Oh, here come Dickie Msrston and Bob Sawyer! How terribly Jolly!" Elya reached out ber daintily gloved hand to greet two newcomers. They were, of -the aggressive type, these two En Irtish chaps, and In a few awnnrin Demarest made his way to i Miss Clemmens in the rear. "Do you know, Miss Clemmens," he began curiously, "the last time I saw you you wore your hair in two braids, and I wrote a poem and dedicated it to the curia at the end." His voice and mouth were grav,.but there was a smiling gleam In his eyes. Miss Clemmens glanced rather blank ly from beneath her heavy lashes nt this man well under forty, . r "I think," she began, with a calm dignity befitting her position but Just , then, on the very, second; word , of re proval, a flash of understanding radlat . d over her tired, lovely face. ' You rarely you're not Prince Paul''" j "The very same-princes.." Paul Demarest bowed very low.' '' ; "But but why Demarest".. pursued: Miss Clemmens, with piisss'.!ed auwt-r-taluty. ':.':'' " , """"- "A grand-uncle over here without any closer Issue left me his money uud estateaj providing I'd take his name In' the, bargain. I took them all." The light raillery In the voice changed to Uprinineas.-"But I'd have known you. princes, if you went by any nam on dor heaven." "VSss pity's sake!" dimpled she. Then he aided with a wistful dignity: "But I must htr changed a deal since then. That was nearly twelve years ago. Just fancy!" "I dont see tbe changes," said he gallantly "To me you're Just the same." But. oh. how tired she looked his gay, light hearted little princess! And bow be longed to fold ber protect) ugly In bis arms! The wide divergence in that moment between what this man wished to do and what he did do stands for clvillsatlou. "Do you retuemlier those glorious sails we used to have on Long Island sound r he asked constrainedly, pick lng up the fan which she bad dropped. Keuiember? .The Parisian oera house and tbe bum of chattering voices faded away. In their place came tbe big, blue sound covered with white sails, and no voice save that of "Prince Paul" teaching her the "Marseillaise" In French. On, what a voice he bad! And tbe salt spray was agalu on ber tanned cheek, the wind blowing through ber balr- "Once upon a time," began Paul Dem arest "there was a young chap with a lot of Ideals and ambition and that tort o' thing who went to spend a summer In a quiet little plain on Long Island. It seemed absurdly. Irrltat Ingly quiet to him until he met a princess. She didn't wear a crown, except her glorious dark hair, whose thick tendrils the wind was always blowing awry, and she wasn't follow ed about by a court chamberlain, but she had the dearest, most loving fa ther I ever knew. Well, the princess was quite five years younger than tbe man, but they read together and sang together and sailed together, aud when he was suddenly called away to France he purposed coming back one day when he was an Independent person and claiming the little princess. lie dldnt get back as quickly as ha bad hoped. When be did, be found that she had flown, and be could And no trace of her." When the low, mesmeric voice bad finished, Dorothy Clemmens looked up with startled eyes. The lambent flame In them met an answering flash In bis. "Father died the year I graduated." she said unsteadily. "We had to give np our old borne, and ever since I've been putting what little learning I'd gained to use teachtng the yonng mind,' etc. Incidentally now I'm chap eroning, as yon see." She gave a vague,' graceful little motion with ber slim hand; which included Elya, the two English chappies and part of tbe stage "Back in that little spot on Long Is land," went on ber companion eagerly, , 'the sea is just as blue as ever, I'm sure. And tbe white sails are there, and don't you think, princess, If we went back we might find fairyland V Just here the orchestra took np tbe superb stretto of "Tbe Decision of Love," and there was the general stir is tbe bouse of people getting ready for tbe third act When at the end of the month Elya Dix sailed for America, Miss Dorothy Clemmens sailed with ber as Paul Demarest's fiancee. "But Isn't It terribly funny, mother." said Elya as she unpacked her Parisian finery, "to think of. my coming back from gay Paris quite unengaged and my chaperon with a prize on her string?" . . And Mrs. James Dix clasped her ring bedecked, plump bands In acqnlesence. KILLS 'CATARRHAL GERMS. Breathe Hyomei'e Medicated Air and You Will Soon be Well.

India la so vast that different eti quettes prevail In different districts. We have mo 'standard etiquette, no standard dress, We mostly copy Uu ropeitn etiquette whllo with KunquMtha, Even n KcUKUh-KO shrikes bunds with a lU'Ujmlese, speaks In English for a few minutes and thou breaks forth Into the vernacular. We shake IiuuiIm with n European ou parting, but by mistake agalu touch the hand to the brow lu n salaam, so we both shake hand, salaam and do the like, aud uj sober minded European ever eared for the anomaly. The umbrella Is tbe emblem of royal ty4 the sigu of n rajah, so natives generally fold their umbrellas before a rajah aud not before anybody else, however great. It Is uot a part of the dress, but a protection from the rulu or sun4 a necessary appendage, just like the watch aud chalu. You might as well ask a European, to take off his waterproof coat." A cooly Is not bound to fold his umbrella when a brigadier general rides past. But a menial geuerally closes down the um brella on teeing his master, whom bo considers bis king. But no Indian, however bumble, ought to fold uptbe umbrella, even before a magistrate, be cause be Is neither the master of the bumble passerby nor bis superior otfl cer, nor Is be bound to salaam him. But If be does, no barm. In a word, natives generally fold the umbrella before a master or a superior officer and not any other clthsen, however great and this Is no Insult. While going to see a native chief in bis palace the native visitor or official takes off his shoes If the reception room has a farash and the rajah Is sit ting on bis muxnud. But It he Is re ceived In the drawlug room, furnished after the European style, the shoe re allowed. In some states no na tives can go to a rajah without a pu gree. In others the pugree Is taken off and tossed at the feet of a rajah. It Is ridiculous lu a European (from the Hindoo point of view) to order native to take off his shoes. This Is what we ask our priest to do, so that we may touch the dust of his feet. A munshl when mildly rebuked by bis sahlo took off bis shoes, bnt recounted tbe whole scene to his better balf, say ing, "Sala bamsra gor ka guru's lenay magtnar ("The brother-in-law wants the dust of my feet")-lndlan Military Gazette. . 1,1 " 1 " . Dp Not Crowd the Season. Tbe first warm days of spring bring with them a desire to get out and enjoy the exhiliaratlng air and sun shine, Children that have been bona ed up all winter are brought and you wonder where they all came from. The heavy winter clothing- la thrown away and many abed their flannels. Then a cold wave comes and people aay that grip Is epIJemio. Colds at this so son are even more dangerooa than tn mid-winter, as there la much more danger of pneumonia. Take Cham berlain's Cough Remedy, however, and yon will have nothing to fear. It al ways cure, and we have never known a cold to result in pneumonia when It waa used. It is pleasant and safe to take. Children like it For sale by Frank Hart and Leading druggists. ' Cknpaar.
