TWEEDS FOR SCHOOL FROCKs
Are Among the Newest and Also tEa
Most Practical Materials for
Girls Suits.

A charming tweed suit for a school
girl is cut on new and becoming lines,
in a soft, woolly tweed in a double
checked design. 1t is in black and
white, yet the pattern is o sc
skillfully that it gives a gray effect
that is inconspicuous and splendid to
conceal dirt. The skirt is straight
and plain, and the loose coat is slight
ly high wasted, with belt and straps
Of the same material. 1t has hip peck
cts and the ever-becoming fat collar
and revers. With this may be worn a
hat in velours in a soft purple shade,
simply adorned with a band of black
ribbon. Tweeds are the newest and
most practical wear for girls.
Delightfully."- simple dancing or school
frocks are made in natter blue poplin
with a little suggestion of silk en-
broidery on the collar, cuffs and sash
ends. This simple garment merely
hangs in straight plaits from a yoke,
yet will prove most useful and becom-
ing to youth.
Dark shades are to- be worn this
season-the grays, navys, and browns,
and the tete-de-negre with dark green's
are in vogue.

HANDMADE w ON HATS
Newest Trimming Consists of Gala
Lilies, Orchids and cIematis
in Varied colorings.

Quite the newest and most charm
ing thing to do with your hat is to
trim it with flowers that are hand
made. The shops r showing beauti-
full things made Of chenille and fine
nets. For instance, there are Gala
lilies, orchids, clematis and tiger lilies,
as we'll as butterflies in varied and
brilliant %colorings. Many shades Of
chenille are used to make the butterfly
look as if it were poised upon the
gown. The bride Is included in the
new trimming vogue. Her wreath of
yore was made up Of white wax flow
ers; now she wears adorable white
silk roses set in silver with long
spirals Of silver. And her corsage
matches.
Nimble fingers can make most at
tractive flowers out Of hand-tinted rib
bons. One sees morning glories, pop
pies, pansies, sweet peas, etc., all of
the tinted ribbon.

Ole Bulls COLONY
NorWegian's Dream of Modef
Home Now Scene of Ruin.
Recalls Misplaced Confidence and
Made All the More Tragic Because
of Splendid Ideals.

Only the ruin of the villa "Valhalla"
remains Of the Inflated Norwegian coll
ony established by Ole Bull in PennsyI-
vania in the late SOS. The story Of
the colony, says the Kansas City
Times, is one of misplaced confidence,
made all the more tragic because Of
the splendid ideals that led to it's es-
Enlistment.
The great Norwegian violinist, al
ways an admirer of America, wished
to obtain a location for a model colony
of his countrymen. He bought a thou
sand acres of a firm of land dealers
and soon afterward brought to this
country several hundred Norwegians-
A clearing was made, the village Of
Oleana built and, in an address to the
townspeople, Ole Bull set forth the
hopes that had inspired his mission.
The address follows:
Brothers Of Norway! From the
cline where the north wind has it's
home; where the maelstrom roars, and
where the aurora for half the year
takes the place of the genial sun, we
NAVY JILL ~ AhO a AOl1S. WuCA Wo
were among our mountains, and war
was bringing want and famine upon
us, we heard there was q country in g.
milder climate where liberty dwelt and.
plenty reigned. Upon looking over our
records, we found that our country
men, under Thorfn, had discovered
that land more than eight hundred
years ago, but that they were met by
cruel and savage Indians, and had left
no record of themselves, except some
traces Of their sad history engraven
in the rocks of Fall river, and one tenn
pie which they raised to God on an
island at the mouth of Narragansett
bay. All other record of them had
passed away.
"How different is our reception from
that which Thorfn and his followers
received. No savage Indian startles us
with his war whoop, but kind friends
meet us on every side, taking Us by the
hand and giving US welcome to our
new home.
Brothers of Norway! We must not
disappoint this confidence, but by
lives OF Industry and honesty show to
u new brothers that they have not
misplaced their friendship.
"And now, to these gentlemen Of
New York and Pennsylvania, who have
so kindly assisted by their counsel and
advice in this work, I return my most
sincere and heartfelt thanks, and cast
ing ourselves upon the goodness Of our
heavenly Father, resting secure upon
his promise, let US go on in the daily
performance Of every duty, and he
will bless u.s."
There was a pathetic aftermath.
Hardly had the pioneers got well un-
der way with their BODYBUILDING when
it was discovered that the violinist had
been victimized. The company that
sold him the land had no valid title to-
it. The people Of Oleana scattered
some of them penniless and with few
friends in the new country. Ole Bull.
with splendid loyalty to those he had
brought to this pass, gave public CON
certs to raise money for their relief.

Inasmuch as formal entertaining

Idea Applied 20 Both Skirt and Jacket
In Collection Of Spring Models
From Paris.

Possibly the most salient feature Of
che collection Of models for spring
brought over to New York from Paris
Is the prominence of the zouave idea.
This does not apply only to the skirt,
Tor the elongated jacket Is a feature Of
the zouave dress, as is also the bound
in hipllne, and these features are all
repeated and played upon in this col
lection. ar
While it may not Eel that there is
anything startlingly new in q dropped
waistline, the n in which the
hips are bound, the jacket and the
showing Of the blouse section under
the jacket is distinctive. 1t produces
really another silhouette which, al
though narrow, Is not straight and
binds in around the hips.
