ame's gray pompadour when she takes
the air, all these tell the same story
that the youth of the year is coming.
For you must know, be you a man
and women know it aiready-that as
the winter advances and gay functions
multiply into the great pre-Lenten rush,
the Gainsboroughs dropping plumes
look a bit detected, the stunning white
felt shows the SCOT marks a thought too
obviously, and Milady is reduced to the
walking hat, jaunty enough, we grant
you, with its fluffy pOmpadour and
black-and-white veil, but utterly I'M
suited to formal toilet
Therefore, she must HE away to
milliner-an importer If she care to
throw away money with both hands
instead of one-and it's a safe wager
that when the new nat comes home 1t
will be violet, lavender, mauve, royal
purple, or some one shade of the lowell
est color in the whole color world.
Moreover, there will be violets on il
somewhere, and with it on her head she
can go forth a messenger that whit
er'S days are numbered.
1t is such an easy transition from the
violets that promise spring to the vio-
lets of spring itself. Late they
will give way to the roses and peoples
and cornflower that belong to summer.
But for a little while they reign SUI
preme in purple splendor.
Then all hail to the violet hat, 1t
is promise of SO much, this exquisite
bit of feminine vanity. Tt is so short d
time from the artificial violets that
grace Milady's golden locks to the real
violets that bloom in green hollows and
bring a CLEAN of pure, unsullied
happiness to Milady's lovely eyes and
vague, sweet memories of the little girl
she used to be to Miladys tired heart
Fads and Fancies.
An English fad that has just reached
America is that of wearing sandals.
These come in several styles, and their
use is said to meet with the approval
of physicians and chiropodists.
A dainty novelty in neckwear is the \
leaf effect boa. 1t is constructed of
small pieces of silk chiffon, cut in
the form and size of flower petals, and
has long streamers at the front, trim
med in the same manner.
The complexion veil promises to uSurp
the place of the chiffon as the weather
becomes milder. Black is the most in
demand, and a few complexion wells of
black and white are worn. Occasionally
a touch of blue is added.
A new finish for waists consists of
white lace collar, edged with finely
pleated black chiffon, which is in turn
bordered with narrow chiffon pompa-
dour ruching. 1t has the effect of a
bertha and gives the desired width at
the shoulders, says the New York Tri-
bune.

broidered with silk or Jet or colored
beads, and even gold, silver or steel. At

A SAYING PROMISED
By the Use of Ignite on Freight
:.%. -. Locomotives.
A TEST ON NORTHERN PACIFIC
IT Proves Highly Successful-RevOlu
ton in Freight Engines
~ Possible.

The Northern Pacific railroad yester-
day made a trial OF burning Ignite on Its
main line with the view of adopting l1g-
nite-burning locomotives for freight serv-
ice if the plan proves practicable. The
test, which was made under the super
vision OF G. J. Wilson, superintendent OF
the Northern Pacific lines in North Da-
kota, was most successful. The new llg-
mite burner which has been in use for the
past few months on the Bismarck, Wash
burn & Great Falls railroad, was bor-
srowed for the occasion. 1t was attached
to one of the regular through freight
trains of the Northern Pacific at Mandan
and sent through to the end of the dlvi-
sion, which is at Jamestown, a total dis
tance of 106 miles. The actual running
time was 51b hours, which was covered
at an average rate of twenty miles an
hour, which is considered fair speed
for freight transportation. The amount
of fuel consumed was seventeen tons.
Taking this test as a basis of computa-
stion the Ignite coal will afford saving
of from 25 to so per cent on the cost of
fuel.
This successful trial is very suggestive.
If it can be shown that the record made
yesterday can be performed in regular
service it means complete revolution in
the type Of locomotives now in use in the
region tributary to the Ignite mines.
This region includes all Of North Dakota,
eastern Montana and western Minnesota.
It, is possible that the engines now in
service can be so remodeled as to burn
the new fuel.

COMING IN CROWDS
Immigrants From All Parts of the
Continent. ~ -.
VANGUARD ALREADY ARRIVED
They Say Many Are to FOIIOw-La.
bOr Conditions Abroad. the
Cause.

A score Of Scandinavians and half as
many emigrants from Bulgaria and Italy,
passed through Minneapolis this fore
noon en- route to various points in the
northwest. They were they say, the van
guard Of what will be the greatest influx
the northwest has ever seen. scandina-
vians and southern Europeans as we'll say
there is and has been for years spirit
Of dissatisfaction and unrest in their
native lands and a desire to come to
America, which have been accentuated
during the past twelve months by the
declining condition Of business and labor.
Hence the promise of greater immigration
this year than ever before.
Emigrant Agent Groettum, at the union
station, interviewed the foreigners who
passed through the city to-day and se-
cured Verifcation of the reports given
out recently by immigration agents, none
of which, declares Mr. Groettum, after a
thorough Investigation, have been exag-
gerated. The number OF. foreigners COM
ing into the northwest before the end Of
the year, he says, will be a surprise even
to the less conserva tive of the guessers.
Northern Europe will, as usual, send the
greatest portion. The business condi-
tions of Norway and Sweden are very
poor, and thousands of laborers are out of
work Quite naturally they will flock to
America. Denmark, Poland and northern
Germany will also send large numbers of
people into the States.
It is believed that, following the GUS
tom of years, the new arrivals from the
northern countries will take to the farms.
They will be largely of a farming class,
or class that takes to agriculture read
lily. Some of course, prefer work in the
woods or day labor, but these will be in
the minority. There will be no small
number of trades people:
The new comers will be Of younger
generation, mostly young men who are
single, or recently married. The former,
of course, will soon enter the matrimonial
state, for from utilitarian viewpoint
marriage is quite the thing with the in
dustrious foreigners.
Those from the southern countries OF
Europe always take. to worlliin the mines
or to railroad construction. Their num-
Der in the northwest is smaller than that
of their northern neighbors, most of them
manufacturers in the east before they
get to this part of The country. But the
number of hands from Italy, Roumania
bulgaria and other countries in the mines
and in construction work in the north
western states is rapidly 2incre easing, and
late arrivals from these counties predict
a still larger influx this year.
The foreigners IN Minneapolis to-day
say that their countrymen at home are
already making preparations for the trip
|to America, and that they will begin tO
come in big parties about the middle OF
March, although many persons will arrive
earlier. sfy
