Sibley Hospital

The report last Saturday of
the birth of five sets of girl twins
at Sibley Hospital. as far as the
recollection of employees of the
Health Department goes. consti-
tutes new record for the Dis
trict.
The births, however, Assistant
Health Officer E. J. Schwartz
pointed out. did not all occur on
the same day. A period of 10
days after the birth is allowed by
the Health Department rcgula-
tons before the report need be
made. The fact that all of the
reports came from the same hos
pital and that all the twins were
girls. however, added a flavor of
the unusual.

QUEEN NARY DOES
 NO REAL SHOPPING
Misses Fun Of Buying Clothes $
 Other Womm 10

London, June 13 N-Even . queen must have new clothes.
 But her majesty, Queen Mary, much as she might perhaps like to go window-shopping and> gown hunting with the rest of the femi- nine world. must wait patiently in her palace for 2 dreasmaker to- come with patterns. tape measure and sketches of the newest modeA
 The queen placed an order for group of new evening gowns to be fitted before the royal court moved from Windsor to sandringham, the country palace of England's royalty. The simple life that the sovereign and his family lead at Sandringham precludes the queens wearing any of her frocks. 50 it is supposed she is preparing for the season in Lon- don during the courts in late June at Buckingham palace.
 One of the new gowns is of pale gold satin. draped with soft. grace full net. and another is of mauve and silver brocade.
 Although resident queens never go personally to the shops Of Lon- don, many visiting royal ladies go to showrooms as quite ordinary per sons, look at the mannikins and make their decisions on the spot.
 The democratic informality that has invaded most royal families since the war has resulted in many royal trips to fashions haunts. Most of the smartest London dress makers are thoroughly versed in tastes and when they know of an impending visit have the whole show in readiness.
 Queen Marie of Rumania is one of the most frequent of the foreign visitors, and her taste and choice in clothes is universally admired by all dressmakers who have tended her wants.
 The Spanish queen and her two debutante daughters. Infanta Bea- trice and Infanta Maria Cristina, are familiar figures in certain Ken- sington dressmakers' and milliners' shops. The queen often tries on many hats in the showroom in making her selection.
 Princess Martha, wife of the heir to the throne of Norway, and her mother-in-law, the queen of Nor- way. frequent certain Bond street shops and come away newly decked in the cleverest frocks the London market offers.

in fair imitation of Lundy's high pitched voice.
 ''Fitch stopped. 'Nothin.' Joe. I was jest takin' a look-see.'
 "'Git out. then!' dad shouted in the same voice.
 ''F'itch slammed the door shut
 Dad stood up, breathing hard. Of course, Fitch had no reason to believe the two figures he saw were not dads and Lundy's. but l don't think one man in a hundred could have carried it off.
 Tt wasn't likely that Fitch would look in again for while. Dad crammed the marked cards into a pocket and raised the sash of the north window to the top. Climbing through, he dropped to the roof of the lean-to beneath 1t. then to the ground below. He ]is- tened. Nothing happened. He hadn't been seen, evidently. He re- membered. then, that he'd forgot ten to bring Lundy's magnifying classes. We'll. he wasn't going back for them.
 He came 10 the mine property and called Dillon by name. But Dillon didn't answer. Dad called again. Still he didn't answer.
 Dad peered into the shadows of the overhang. Had Dillon laid some sort of trap for him? he won- dered. The quickest way to find out was to move towards the mine door, and this he proceeded to do. There was no sign of Dillon any, where.
 "'Jerry!' dad shouted.
 There was no answer. 'Jerry!' he roared. This is Alex..'
 Uncle Jerry didn't answer and dad took out his keys. His hands shook 50 that he could hardly fit the key into the lock and turn 1t.
 ''He went into the tunnel, calling to Uncle Jerry. There was no re- ply. He found match, but before he could strike it his feet collided with something soft and heavy.

ANNUAL PARTY PRODS
 CONFIRMED BACHELORS
Belgian Misses Invite Men Into RO- mantle Scenes and Let Nature
 Take it Course.

Ecaussines, Belgium. June 13 R0 Getting husband has been put on a paying basis in this little town where the matrimonial luncheon does flourishing business.
 The maiden members now are in the throes of preparation for the annual party to which they invite all the eligible bachelors of the town and any from foreign parts that they can find.
 After drinking cup of coffee and eating cakes baked by fond fair hands, the gentlemen guests are invited to take part in the dancing. the musical performance. and even walk to the ruins of an ancient castle in company with any they might select from the party.
 The matrimonial luncheon was founded in 1906 when the girls be- gan to realize that enough propos- ing wasn't done. The purpose was to spur to further efforts the re- calcitrant bachelors. and its suc- cess was so signal that the organi- zation has been continued.
