The river rose 15 Inches In the 24 hours ended at noon today, adding to the considerable damage already done In the suburbs and along the river In the departments of the Seine and Selne-Et-Olse and causing the city itself to suffer seriously. Many buildings along both banks of the river, notably the ministry of foreign affairs and the ministry of finance, have had their cellars flooded and today a small army of workmen—masons and bricklayers began W'alling up the entrances to the chamber of deputies snd foreign ministry to prevent further Ingress of the waters. The river Is rising fast and gaining steadily on the pumps being feverish ly worked to keep the subways from being flooded and the water from further encroaching on the Impor tant buildings near the river banks. The first fatality In the Parle region from the flood occurred to day when an automobile attempting to cross a street along the river at Conflans was carried into deep water by the current and the car and Its driver swept away.

Ths rlvsr at noon had reached 21 feet snd ten Inches, the highest In history, sacept during the disastrous flood in 1920. The water has cut off electricity In the Invalides district. Clerks In the ministry of finance worked feverishly transferring docu ments and files from the basement to the second floor. The great Foreign Office building Is surrounded by water. Official flood stage readings and weather forecasts are being broadcast by the Eiffel tower wireless station. Warnings are being eent to residents of low lying suburbs.

S.—Fifth Avenue haa a crowd of brisk early morning walkers who flood the sidewalks be fore pedestrian and vehicular tides are unloosed for the day. It is aris tocracy plus—the same crowd that formerly made the five o'clock parade hour popular. The walkers start out about 7 In fair weather. While their forbears sold fish and polecat furs, they are those who speak contemptuously of later avenue strollfrs who are in cloak and suits, gents' hose and im perishable pants. It is the hol-pollol—the raucous rabble—they seek to avoid. There is much of the air of the musical comedy stage. A wlgged butler swings open the, giant grilled doors of a mansion. The master saunters out much in the manner of the Ju venile’s entrance with "So this is Paris:” He wears the morning coat, strip ed trousers and In many instances the top hat. His gloves are carried In the same hand that carries the cane. It Is easy to see he is on dis play. There are hundreds of others who are seeking to achieve the same effect. Of course, there are some In golf clothes and riding suits. They stroll awhile before starting off to the llnka or to the bridle path. The girls are mostly In morning coats. They do not walk with the men. Indeed, near ly eveayone walks alone. There is bowing—sometimes a mo ment's chat—but it la singularly free from the intimacies of the ordinary run of folk who live in the same neighborhood and moat often. It is true that aa a claas the rich—particu larly those along Millionaire's Row— are early risers, despite the popular conception. There are very few maneiona where breakfast Is served later than eight o'clock. CJIrls who lounge about un til afternoon, In bed and dawdle over a novel until dusk belong strictly to the world of Broadway and environs. The daughters of the rich are early risers. The morning walk on the avenue Is usually from about 6!lth street to 42nd. Rarely do the strollers go be low 42nd or above 110th. In a recent musical comedy there waa an actor whose only Hue was: "There's a man down stairs who says he's Solomon Isaac." For weeks he rehearsed his part. Other members of the cast suggested he mako In flections her* and there and intimated Ills great opportunity had come. On the opening night he stood In the wing* mumbling oyer and over "There’s a man down stairs who says he’s Solomon Isaac." As the time came for his cue an electrician passed him and the actor got mixed up In the electric wires. In un tangling himself the electrician shout ed to him: "There’s your cue." The actor rushed out on tho stage and shouted: "Solomalax." Mourning may be carried somewhat to extremes. One of the la-de da tobaccoista has a window filled with clgarets made of black paper with shiny black tips which he calls "clgarets for mourning.** The Green Groom clul) Is now In stalled In Its own homo on West Forty-eighth strCct. It Is a cluh whose membership Is composed ot srtlsls, writers and stage folk. One of the purposes of tho club is to help the aspiring nrtlst to recognition. Each year they will give a play some what like the Friar’s Frolic and Lamb’s Gambol; only hltherta un knowns will appear. One of tbe rub s of the club Is that no member shall bring anyone Into the dub that he would not bring Into Ills own home. There hns been quite a desertion from other clubs to the n. w organization.

Writer Wins and Loses Divorce Judge Vacates Decree Granted Nina Wilcox Putnam— Questions Residence. By A wools ted fraw. Providence, R. I., Jan. I.—Judge Chester W. Barrows of the superior court today entered an order vacating the divorce granted yesterday to Nina Wilcox Putnam Sanderson from Rot> ert J. 8ander»on until such time as she shall appear In person and satisfy the court she has been a resident of this state for more than two years prior to October 18, 1928. Judge Barrows also sent a letter to P. Francis Cassidy of Woonsocket, at torney for Mrs. Sanderson, stating that if the court does not hear from his client within a reasonable time It will feel that It Is Its duty to lay the facta before the attorney general for suitable action. Mrs. Sanderson, claiming neglect to provide, was granted a divorce decree yesterday by Judge Barrows, but the decree was recalled when a newspaper informed Judge Barrows that Mrs. Sanderson had not maintained a legal residence In ProvldencO for two years as required by the statutes. Neither Mrs. Sanderson nor her husband appeared In court. The ac tion was conducted on deposition. Mrs. Sanderson asserted In her deposition that she had lived In Providence “a little more than three years." The! newspaper told the court that she had | •'lived'' here a little more than a year and a half, and that she actually had spent only a small part of that time In Providence. In recalling his decision, Judge Bar rows declared that he did not propose to have fraud perpetrated In his court and that he would conduct a full in vestigation of the claims made In the plaintiffs deposition. Mr. Sanderson waa the novelist's second husband. They were mar ried in November, 1919. Her first husband, Robert Faulkner Putnam, died In 1918. Judge Harrows was Informed thst Mrs. Handorson had a country home at Madison, Conn., and that her name waa on the voting list there In 1921 and 1922. In a magazine article last year Mrs. Sanderson referred to Mr. Sanderson as follows: "I got me a new husband, an A-l edition, that pulls a lot of my most spontaneous lines, and quick as he says them I run In the other room and write them down before I forget them. He's e big help to me.” 3 Bound Over in Trunk Robbery Identified a* Trio Who Took Man’s Savings by Witness.

Dmiinl by her linshand, Stephen Dallas, because of her frivolity and flirta tions, Stella Dallas, with her daughter laurel, 13. lives III the “rheaprsl mom" of a fashionable hotel in Milhamptou. Mass. laurel goes on a visit to her father In Neve York anil he leaves her at the home of Mrs. Morrison, a friend, while he is away on n trip to Chicago. After Ber ing her daughter aboard the li-aln in Hoston Stella goes to a cafe, where she meets an old admirer, Alfred Mono, with whom she nttrnds a musical farce, and she continues receiving his attentions while Laurel is away. (Continued From Yesterday.I It was fully 10 minutes before the second bomb exploded. The letter Im mediately underneath Miss Filll brown s was a note from the proprie tor of the King Arthur. The proprie tor of the King Arthur regretted he would be unable to acqommodait Stella the following Benaortl lie hud rented her present upartihent, ho ex plained, to a party who had offered almost double what she was paying, and there would be no other space available. Stella got up and walked over to the window, folded her arms, as If to hold herself under lietter control, and stood staring out into the street lie low. What did it mean? Wliat had she done? Why were people so un kind? What was to become of Laurel and herself? It wasn't as If there were other apartment hotels in Mil hampton. The King Arthur was unique. The other places were board ing houses, pure and simple. All sorts of people lived in them. She could no more take Laurel to a boarding-house than send her to a public school. Good heavens, this was a serious situation! Stella had received blows before, but the combination of these two, occur ring both at once, and striking such vital parts of the anatomy of her so rial position In Milhampton, she knew would prove fatal. A wave of physi cal sickness swept over her. It was fully half an hour before the last bomb shattered the frail scaffold ing of another of Stella's alrcastles The last letter In her pile was from a lawyer In New York. The lawyer stated that he was writing for Mr. Stephen Dallaa. Stella’s eyes skip ped over the Introductory sentenewv. She caught the word "divorce.” Ste phen wanted to get a divorce! Hope had never died that sometime she and Stephen might live lieneeth the game roof again. The posslbtlltj that when the golden harvest-time ar rived when Laurel was old enough to come out, Stephen, too, would wish to give his child every possible advan tage, and resume at least the sem blance of a conventional relationship with his wife, had been for years a sort of secret candle Stella would take out and light whenever it sreme# dark. But a divorce, a separation would rob her of her candle. Besides, she couldn't say "my husband" any more, could she. to her friends and acquaintances? • Nor refer to her hus band's absence as temporary- Oh, no j one knew what a protection the uncer j talnty had been to her all these years. ] At 1 o’clock the next morning Stella j lay wide awake In her bed beside Laurel's empty one, tossing and turn ing In the darkness, reviewing the contents of each of the three cruel notes that had swept so bare her little hill of hopes, and left It bleak and desolate. At 2 o'clock she wai still awake, and again at 3 she beard the chimes ringing In the Episcopal church belfry, a half a mile away. At half-past three she got up and went into the bathroom. She poured herself out half a glass of gin. and filled the glass up with hot watet from the faucet. She placed two sleeping tablets on the back of her tongue and washed them down with the strong hot drink. Laurel was due to arrive the next morning at 9 o'clock. Stella simply must pull herself together before Laurel arrived. CHAPTER XIII. 7- _ *'I shouldn’t think that Simpson woman earned her salt.’ .She’s let your nails get Into a terrible condi tion!” scolded Stella. "Oh. but Miss Simpson never doe* my nails, mother," laughed Laurel. She and Stella were seated opposite each other at a card-table In their bedroom at the King Arthur. There wa* a hath-towel spread over the table. Laurel held the finger tip* of one hand In a bowl filled with warm water, while her mother worked over the other. It wa* eurly afternoon of the first day of Laurel's arrival. "Qrarlous. laiurel, this cuticle has n’t been pu»hed back once since you’ve been gon*. I'll bet. I don’t know what will become of you If you don't take more pain* with yourself. These nails of your* are all spilt and broken to pieces.” "But I’ve been camping, mother." "I should think you'd been mining, and using your fingers for pick axes!” A cat no more vigorously set* her self to work over the deplorable con dition of her kitten after a visit to the coal-bin titan did Stella over Laurel after her visit to New York and the Maine woods, "where they lived Ilka animals," according to her way of thinking. Stella waa thankful thla time, with all her heart, that she could work over Laurel, for when she had anything to conceal It was always easier to talk 10 the funny little perceiving creature. It ihe could keep her eyes down close on som* sort of fine careful lob, like cutting n piece of cuticle, Pr filing a nail to Just the proper arch. When the manicuring was well un der way. Stella Inquired: "IIow'» your father?" She always asked that question be fore Ijiurel had been heck many hour*. Laurel always replied, "JTa'a *11 right." • "Didn’t he **ein different any way?" "No.” "Didn't refer to ms. I supposed” "No." Laurel wished he would refer to her sometime, so sho might tali her ho had. "Goodness," exclaimed Stella, "I should think he'd ask after my health once In a while!” Laurel was silent. Stella applied the blunt end of a steel file to the half moon just «t> penring out of the pink flesh of Laur el's thumb “I should think he'd have some In terest in my welfare." Still Laurel was silent. "I never did anything to have him treat me as If I wns dead." "You hurt, mother.” Stella laid down the tile. But It was somewhere Inside where Stella was really hurting Laurel. I-aurol always suffered when her mother talk ed like that about her father. KINDLING Slab Ends—Dry—Clean i Phone AT lantic 2700 SUNDERLAND BROS. CO. Hotel Rome Cafeteria The Beet That t All [ "You'd think from the way he acts such a thing as a marriage ceremony had never taken place between him and me.” "Mother," Laurel interrupted, —she must change the subject somehow— "I’ve learned to use a shotgun.” "I hope, Laurel, Stella went right on, "you'll have more respect for the promises you make, than your father seems to.” Laurel made another desperate at tempt. "Oh, mother," she exclaimed bright ly, "I saw that lovely lady again In New York." She was successful this time. “What lovely lady?" asked Stella. Laurel had been too busy so far answering her mother's questions as to what restaurants and theaters she had visited in New York to tell her about Mrs. Morrison. "The lovely lady who gave me my sliver pencil.” "Oh. yes, you met her at afternoon tea lust year. I remember. You said she had on black broadcloth with broad-tall trimming then. What did she wear this time?” "She Isn't wearing Mack at all this year, but palish colors when she dresses up that you think ate white until you see her up against a white wall or something, and then you see they aren't. They're usually pale yel low, or faint blue. She never wears pink." "Good gracious, how many different rigs did you see this person in?” "Oh, lots!” • She had not referred to Mrs. Mor rlson in her letters to her mother. That was not strange. Laurel was not fluent with her pen. Her letters were labored little notes, usually, that mirrored her personality Imperfectly. Laurel's father used to say he could scarcely catch a glimpse of Laurel In he stilted notes she wrote him. Once Laurel had tried to write to her moth er about Mrs. Morrison, but Mrs. Mor rison was like the Maine woods There was so much to say that you didn't know what one or two things to choose to cramp In half a dozen prop er little sentences that must begin with a capital, contain a subject and a predicate, and end with a period. "You'd love her clothes mother,” Tjiurel now went on. "She's got the loveliest negligee, she’s got two or three lovely negligees, but I think my favorite was a yellowish one, made of a most beautiful crepy stuff, with not a speck of trimming on it any where." "Negligee!" exclaimed Stella. "Did she spend the night with you?" "Oh, no, I spent the night with her. I spent almost a whole week of nights with her, while father was in Chi cago." "Oh, you did. did you?” said Stella, speaking thickly through an orange stick which she held between her teeth Stella often used her mouth to hold small tools, when she sewed or mani cured. Lucky for her now! A sud den suspicion had shot up and grip ped her In the throat. The orange stick helped to disguise the tenseness1 In her voice. “That was afungy ar rangement. I should think." M "1 didn't want to go a hit, at first, said Laurel. "I was frightened at the thought of visiting a stranger. But I needn't have been. Mrs. Morrison was perfectly lovely to me!” “Oh, she was, was She? How?" “Just every way there la to he love ly. For one thing—she thought I had lovely clothes, and that you had aw fully good taste. She said so. She talked about you. mother. She thought you must be simply beautiful when I told her what you looked like.” "What does she look like?” "A little like an Indian pipe," said Laurel reflectively. “That's a sort of flower that grows in dark places up in the Maine woods. It hasn't got any color at all. “Oh. gracious. I mean Is she tall or short, dark or light, fat or thin. I don't care what kind of a flower she looks like.” “Well.” Laurel began slowdy, me thodically. “She's dark—at least her hair Is—and tall—at least she lookH tall until you see her beside some body taller than fathet—and slim, and cool-looking and pale—oh, ever so pale. And the queer thing is, she doesn't use any rouge at all. She does her hair," Laurel went on, "with only five hairpins, and no net. And once I saw her put soap right on her face1 And she goes out in the broiling sun arid lets it beat down on her without any veil or sunshade, or anything.” "What's her age?” “She doesn't seem to lie any special age. She's like one of those goddesses in my Creek mythology book that way.” “Oh, come. You can tell me whether she’s 20 or 40. I guess.” “Oh, she's not 40! She can touch her fingers to the floor without bending her knees just ns well as 1 can. We tried It one morning. And she rides horseback, and swims and plays ten nis and golf. Father said she could almost beat him at golf. I guess she's about 25.” "Oh, she and your father play golf sometimes.” "Sometimes." “How in the world dM your father become acquainted with this god dess?” Stella inquired. In as light a tone as she could muster. “Happen to know?” “Yes. and It's like a story. Father found her in Central park! He saw her there riding horseback one day. He was on a horse, too. She passed him. He didn't like to run after her, and try to catch her, so he went by another path, and cut her off when she came round a curve later on. Con told me about It.” (Continued In The Morning Bn.
