TWIN BROTHERS HAVE SAME LIFE'S SUCCESS FOULARD VEILED WITH LIGHTER .GEORGETTE. ATHER a clever idea, isn't it, to lighten up the too dull foulard frock with a veiling of lisrht georgette? Here the veiling takes the form i of a more or less oriental overdress. Note the broad Kfl fill Kiif R iillif F most important, the position of the waist line. Once again the mode sponsors the normal in this regard. But you can t imagine anything more lovely than the color scheme here. For the frock to begin with is navy 'foulard with its pattern in silvery gray. Then, just as you would expect it to be, the overdress express es itself in a matching gray. FASHIONGRAMS. Brown satin and dark green broad cloth make a stunning IrocS. There are charming collar and cuff sets in Batik printed foulards. Bohemian lace makes d elightf ully novel trimming on the lingerie blouse. Quaintly pretty are the smocked or gandie hats trimmed with field- flow ers and wheat, The hourglass and fishtail styles are popular in pullover sweaters. NEW MATERIALS. OR spring and even well into the summer months, milady will - wear wool, and silk and wool combination stuffs. She will wear also a wonderfully interesting vari ety of cotton and silk and linen. There are and there will be stun ning tailored suits and demi-tailored frocks of serge, wool jersey, gabar dine, tricotine, Poiret twill and silver, tone. There are ever so many good looking woolens in smart checked patterns. Then there is wool scrim, too, still very much in favor. Also there are any number of oxford suit ings, and finally a woolen known as rainbow tweed; 4t makes stunning spor suits. But never were the cottons more fascinating. It is rather difficult Jo put one variety before the other. For instance, there are. charming crepy weaves, cotton voiles and, of couje, the organdies, ginghams and cham brays. The cotton crepes in a variety of lovely shades such as dull rose, old blue, tangerine, French gray, peach, wistaria, lichen green and beige are of French, Japanese and American make. There are adorable silk and cotton combinations, too. And they are in heavy vepj weaves also. Then there are French crepons In the same mix ture. But, oh, the voiles are exqui site. One sees them in woven, plain and printed effects. The printed va riety is characterized generally by beautiful combinations of dul tones, norai patterns and barbaric conven tional motifs. The French cotton voiles checked in two colors are reil lv delightful. So are the organdies. Nor are these always plain. They are to be had self-striped, also check ed and plaided. No doubt you know all about the ginghams. But you may not know the small check variety is most popular. Arid did you know that the cham brays in all the lovely summer shades are pretty nearly as popular? FOR A SUMMER NEGLIGEE. Be your summer negligee short or long, make it like this if you would achieve a maximum or charm with a minimum of time and labor spent in the achieving. A perfect straight length of mate Organdies and batiste make a lightful combination for a blouse. de Stockholm, May -il. An unusual case of twin brothers who have fol lowed the same career and reached the same position in it is presented t. oy two of Sweden's naval officers, Vice Admiral Oiiataf TYDTSsen and Vice Admiral Wilhelm Dyrssen. who ?ave Just celebrated their sixtieth oirthday. Both became snb-lieuten-Mts in the fleet In 1877. Gustaf entered English service in 81 and took part in the expedition Egypt.

' New Home of Minnesota Society. St. Paul, Minn., May 11. The mag dvT6,111 new building recently com flf ;? here t0 house the collections V5 Minnesota Historical society as dedicated today with interesting jeremones. In attendance were many suing historians who have been In Paul this week for the annual convention of the-Misissippi Valley historical association. Governor -urnqust was one of the principal hSers at the dedication. The new "aiming, which wa serected at a cost naif a million dollars, occupies a conspicuous location close by the Btate capitol. French blue linen and ecruu lace make a charming "nightie." Peasant girdles on organdie frocks sounds good, doesn't it They are laced with vividly colored ribbons, too, like pale green, burnt ostrich and electric blue. One sees quite a bit of Roman strlne and Scotch plaid trimming on the darker frocks. Very effective are the wool jersey appliques on the silk jersey frocks. Nowsone sees the sleeveless effect in lovely cotton frocks. The large hat of lace or maline chooses burnt ostrich for trimming. The silhouette of the moment sees fit to retain the draped and wrapped skirts, wide at the hips and narrow toward the ankles. rial, or to be exact, three lengths, a slit, and a more or less elaborate Jiole in the middle constitute the plan of this model. Use batiste or an unflg ured voile for the center length, slit it up the side for an opening, cut your round neck into a-surplice line, and thus much of your negligee is com plete. Now add the side lengths o flowered voile. You might have them hemstitched on, too, just by way of further conserving of time and labor, Finally, tuck each side and finish with perky bows of satin ribbon in a color to match the dominating one of the figured stuff. 100,000 Hospital Beds.
