The people of Anderson are to he
congratulated upon the prospects Of u
rock structure arching the Blue Ridge
cut on Main Street i'll lieu of the rickct-
ty, unsightly wooden bridge which
stands there to-day only as q monu-
mcnt to the patient endurance Of seven
thousand busy souls. Judge Simonton
of the Federal Court has issued an or
der to Receiver Bcattic to show cause
why the prayer of the City Of Andcr-
son for rock bridge shall not be
granted, and has set June eth as the
date for argument. Messrs. Quattlc-
baum a. Cochran, city attorneys, and
Is. A. llagood, Esq, will represent the
city. 1t will be remembered that the
original charter Of the Blue Ridge
Road contemplated the arching of this
cnt from end to end, but this condition
has never been complied with nor has
any effort been made to enforce it.
BESIDES, the Road is ia the hands of q
Receiver, and such Il wasteful policy
as has hccn pursued in regard to this
one particular demands the Immediate
attention of the Federal Courts. The
policy throughout has been penny
wise and pound foolish one, and it is
hoped that something may be done,
and that at once, Tor the relief of this
city from such narrow and parsim0ni-
Gus administration Of the affairs of the
Blue Ridge, one Of its chief railroads
An instance Of this extravaganza is
the building every seven years of n
new $500 wooden bridge, with an an
nual repair bill of from $500 to S4OO
when q permanent rock bridge cnn be
bnilt for $1,000. He does not reckon
ut all on the probability of costly
damage suits resulting from accidents
due to the old rotten structure. TnE
INTELIIGENCER inaugurated move
ment to effect change in this bridge
several years ago, but the movement
was ignored in true railroad style. We
rejoice that there is an avenue through
which "birds that can sing and won't
sing, can be made to sing"

In favor of election of Senators by

THREE EASTER
LUNCHEONS.
RY RUTH VIRGINIA sAoKE1r.

Doubtless the hostess who expects to
give one or more luncheons at Easter
time will welcome with pleasure the
hints here given for identifying her
table. The ideas she will find helpful
even If modified and used only as sug-
gestions. The first is "pansy lunch
con-"
The egg shaped invitations are writ
ten on lavender tinted cardboard, bor-
dered with tiny pansies exquisitely
painted and inclosed In a violet envel-
ope of the same shape. The luncheon
is served in coy dining room filed
with CHEEKY daylight, the hostess not
wishing to brighten her room by arti-
cial means when she can have plenty
of sunlight. In this respect she shows
her good taste, for the pansies which
she makes lavish use of really need the
sun to bring out their beauty in form
and coloring.
The invitations read "a pansy lunch

will doubtless declare it should read

ing through the middle of the table
from end to end is bed of ferns and
pansies, while here and there. peeping
out of the green leaves and flowers,
are queer little brownies, made by

provoking than these tiny. quaint fig
ures, and, as no two are alike, the
guests will have merry time examin-
ing them.
A gold enameled basket is sunk in a
nest of green in the center of the table,
the inside lined with yellow Grape pa
per fringed about the edge and filed
with lavender, violet and purple eggs
bearing Easter greetings. Just before
the jolly feast is over each guest is pre-
sented with one, only to discover that
they contain little bugs, frogs, and so
forth, which the hostess has procured

GOWNS AND MATERIALS.
The New Patterns ana the Favorite
Fabrics.

The New Patterns ind the Favorite
Fabrics.
The Easter gowns show a lavish
display of embroidery and openwork
laces, which fact assures us that there
will be no retrenching along the line Of
expense and elaboration in the late
spring and summer styles. The most
effective gowns are still cut plain,
showing the side and box plated skirts
or the severe tunic over the extreme
widespreading founces, but all are cut
to fit closely over the hips and lie
smoothly in the back. Some models
among the street dresses show gath
ering up and catching up Of side dra-
peries and tunics.
The spring dresses come under three
heads-the tailor made, the more elab-
crate combinations of lace and silk,
and that of silk and wool, invariably
accompanied by delicate tucking, folds,
hemstitching, openwork and appliqued
forms of designs.
The silk shirt waist is one Of the
beautiful features of this years Easter
display. Baby blue, lavender, tur-
quoise, cerise and Of course the staple
black are the fayorite colors shown.
These are to be worn with the tailor
made suits and under Elton jackets.
The French back seems to be the Che
sen model, although a few yokes are
shown, mostly of the inserted order
and in contrasting shades.
The newest street fabrics are in a
double faced material which does
away with the usual skirt lining. The
goods come in delicate shades of gray,
green, brown and cerise.
Among the summer styles the pannier
model is prominently displayed. and
the goods are particularly adaptable
for such drapery. Whenever goods be-
gin to assume figured tendency the
smoother outline is abandoned for a
more elaborate treatment.

At each plate is card with name
and date lettered in purple and gold,
and a bunch Of pansies tied on one
corner. The favors are egg cups filled
with bonbons, the outside decorated
with daintily painted pansies. Over
the rim is circle of green cardboard
covered with full ruffies of lavender
and of yellow Grape paper, and perched
in the center is funny brownie.
The refreshments, as much as pos
sible, are in keeping with the occasion.

AT butterfly luncheon but
terfiies are in evidence here, there
and everywhere, making novel and
charming effect that could not be ques-
toned. In the center of the table upon
a mirror surrounded with ferns rests a
low punch bowl filled with marguerites
and red carnations, some dropping over
the sides so as to be reflected in the
mirror beneath, candles of yellow burn.
Ing under green shades and garlands
of the flowers hung from the chanae-
liers. lowering over the flowers and
ferns are butterflies of different tints.

seen, but the more conservative styles
are in combinations Of lace, applique, !
chiffon and very natural looking flow
ers, which come in both silk and cotton
to meet the demands of every purse.
The shapes are a tritle larger than the
small turbans and look we'll without
veils
The old style couture has at last
given way to a new and more pleasing
arrangement of the hair. The new
style is modification of the parting
and bang. The front hair is now
weaved loosely over large iron and
combed lightly to either side from the
CENTER The part is but mere sug-
gestion n thin fluffy bang over the
forehead softens the outline of the
face. With this new arrangement the
chignon is lowered considerably, even
approaching the nape of the neck for
daytime wear, but rising very high
for evening. With the high dressing
the back hair is combed up smoothly.
All the putting effect is now considered
passe. The shell combs still rule and
are a great addition to this orderly
headdress, and especially SO with the
long, fiat, single braid running length
wise from the crown of the head to the
nape of the neck. The chignon combs
for evening wear are very high and
narrow.
Chiffon capes and cloaks are quite
the features this season and show great
popularity for use with cloth, silk and
velvet gowns as well as for evening
wear with the lighter materials. The
short capes of chiffon are exceedingly
smart little affairs, made with accord
on plaits or a dozen little ruflies. Th
lining is of silk or satin, the same color
as the chiffon, with an nterlining Of
contrasting silk or quilted satin. 1t is !
considered very dressy to have these
chiffon wraps made Of exactly the /
same color as the cloth gowns. Two or
three shades are also permissible. +
Ihree-quarter length accordion plated /
chiffon cloaks have several rows of /
shirring. giving the effect of large
cords. These hold the plaits in posi-
ton and give the cloak better shape.

Mr.. Edwards stopped moment.
"Well," he finally went on. II may

you have guessed that it was Flora

magazinist.
"What is lacking?" asked the novel

message to her from her dying lover.
The message which ! received from
the stricken soldier was to his mother.
No; Flora's lover bore his own mes

only lover she ever bad. You never

Minutes he himself fell, and put my

Those were. my precious letters which
