"Siamese Twin" Girls Here
To Be Separated By Surgeon

A modern miracle, made posi-
BILE by scientific surgery, will
soon be performed in the lives of
two little "Siamese Twin" girls,
Guadalupe and Josefine Hinijosa,
who are appearing at the carnival
|on Market st. for the benefit of
the army and navy mess fund.
Natures queer freak of
joining the tots together will
be remedied by an operation
in which the flesh wall that
unites them will be severed.
They are to be made separ-
ate, individual little girls,
each capable of playing and
romping and being happy like
other children.
At the earnest request of the
girls parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Diego
Hinijosa, who are anxious for
their children to be normal young
sters, DR.. Harry A. Shaw, promi-
|nent Seattle surgeon, has made a
careful diagnosis Of the peculiar
case. He predicts successful
Operation.
.-X-ray photographs and a vari-
ETY. of other scientific aids, in
Guiding a series of mind and body
tests, were brought into play by
the surgeon to establish his inter
|esting decision.
Each child has complete sepa-
rate set of organs.
Guadalupe and Josefine were
born in Havana, Cuba. They are
-four years and ten months old.

Grid Challenge
Is Kinda Funny

Football leaders at Camp Lewis
are puzzled over the receipt Of
. telegram from Camp Custer,
Battle Creek, Mich, challenging
the officers eleven here to a foot
ball game to be played at Port
land, Ore, during the rose show.
That some mistake has been
made, seems certain. For one
thing, the rose show is not until
June. when football is a forgotten
fancy. For another, the Camp
Lewis officers have an idea that
they will be nearer France than
Portland by June, 1918.
A reply will be sent asking the
Custer officers to come down to
earth and make the challenge for

: CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 3.-At
guessing, Ty Cobb is some hitter,
according to Matt Hinkel, fight
promoter, who arrived here today
after a hunting trip with Cobb,
Willie Mitchell and Fred Hall In

explained that when they plunged
into the wilderness, Chicago had
just won the second game Of the

Early indications Saturday were
that the scheduled football game
between Lincoln Park and Sta

have to be postponed, or it would
be staged in veritable sea OF
mud. Heavy rainfall during the
night and morning made the Sta
dunn field almost unfit for any
kind of game.
If the game is played, the field
will be so heavy and the ball so
slippery, that spectators will have
a poor opportunity Of judging the
relative merits of the two teams.

ing the mandarin jacket, and negligee
garments have not escaped the same
influence. In fact, Chinese mandarin
coats and accompanying Chinese trou-
sers have been found extremely desir-
able and becoming for boudoir wear.
The sweater shown in the sketch is
of fine white wool jersey cloth, cut a
la mandarin coat, and embroidered in
Chinese blue sOutache braid. The gar
ment is quite straight, as will be not
ed, held in at the waist with a loose
ly caught sash and equipped with gen.
erOus pockets. 1t is also shown in
the shops in Chinese blue, embroidered
in white or in colors. 1t might really
be made at home, as it is scanned
affair, fashioned Of wool jersey fabric,
not conventional knitted sweater.
If homemade, great care must be
taken to apply the braid neatly and
firmly, as poor workmanship appears
at it's very worst on the jersey weave
fabrics.
In purchasing a sweater this season
it is we'll to bear in mind that the Slip
over-the-head models are the very lat
est, and they are practical as well. A
sweater that does not have to be but
toned and unbuttoned certainly keeps
its shape better than one that does.

MUSLINS HAVE BEEN REVIVED
Striped and Checked Fabrics of This
Kind Are Expected to Prove Popu-

Someone at the head of the weav-

to revive all manner of muslins for
summer use, and the shop windows
are filed with alluring fabrics that
show many of the old-fashioned de-
signs. There are stripes and checks
and flowers in pink, blue. red and
yellow. These muslins will be made
up with fine embroidery as trim
ming, or filet or Irish crochet lace,
both of which have come back into
fashion.
1t is said that these gowns of soft
muslin will not follow the chemise
robe idea, but will be made with the

TOUCHWOOD IS USED ON HATS
French Responsible for Adoption Of
This Unusual Material-Real and
Imitation Coral in Demand.

In this country we have known what
touchwOod is. Small ornaments of it
have been bought by women and given
as gifts or carried in purses for luck.
But it was left to France to introduce
it as trimming for hats. The French
women have been wearing ornaments
made of this wood, many bits of it
being mingled with precious stones ar
ranged in rings and bracelets. 1t was
q bit of superstition that came into
use at the beginning of the war and
it rapidly grew into universal French
fashion.
New hats are trimmed with touch
wood ornaments as crown bands and
for piping on brims.
Coral, real and imitation, will be
used in the new spring millinery. Italy
is supplying large demand for it.
Coral figures are placed against the
straw and satin hats, embroidery is
done in coral beads, and one new
spring hat has large blue wooden roses,
with the hearts made of coral beads.
