Braided satin is an innovation In
the fashion world which promises
to be rather modish for spring.
Black or brown is the favored color
If the frock is Of satin, although
gray is also looked on as new an /.
smart. Just a word, however,
about gray. 1t is a most difficult
color to wear and because Of the
new fad for gray there will be
many women who choose gray with
no thought as to whether they can
wear it or not. Gray is ruinous to
the woman Of sallow complexion.
to the pale. blond type, the dark.
colorless brunette type and many
others who do not come in any of
those types. Only the woman with
very high coloring may safely wear
gray.
Black and brown are different
and the number who look we'll in
either or both of these shades far
exceeds the small minority who
will look beautiful in the new
grays.
This frock pictured will find
favor with many women. It is
fashioned Of black pussy-villow
meteor with its full skirt deeply
bordered in braiding. The Souave
jacket eject is carried out in the
same idea. The three-quarter bell
sleeves are the seasons choice ifI
one does not like real short aleeves

Audience-S0l0ists Given
Reception.

The Augustana lyceum course
came to a successful close last
evening. the Wennerberg chorus
appearing in the chapel of the col
lege as the final number. This
years course, according to Fritiof
Fryxell, manager, has been of
great success, not only financially
but in giving to the people of the
tri-cities a variation of program.
A more fitting final number could
not be desired than the appearance
Of the Wennerberg chorus. Under
the direction of DR.. o. H. Bostrom
it has just closed the present sea-
son and has achieved the ranking
as one of the best male choruses in
the middle west.
Every number of last nights
program was presented in delight
full and artistic fashion, but three
| numbers deserve special mention.
The rendition Of "On the Sea" by
Buck met with hearty applause,
and the singing of the Church in
the Wildwood" by Pitts and a can
tata. THE Nun of Nidaros" by Buck
as the closing number also won
the admiration of the audience.
The Misses Esther Peterson. vio-
linist. and Thyra SOderberg, pian-
ist, also were received well in the
rendition of their solos. Miss Pc
terson won favor in the playing OF
