The bridge scarf is a dainty affair and
OF course matches, or at least harmo-
nizes. perfectly with the frock over which
it is draped. Sometimes it is of chiffon
dvlicately stenciled, or, like the scarf il
Illustrated, printed in co'ored flower pat

ored chiffon with pattern in mauve and
rose, and is worn over a bridge frock
of lavender crepe, the hat being Gressy

Hats of course, are always retained at
the formal bridge gatherings, and now
the busy players. garmented in shou der
scarfs as well as smart chapeauX, look
as though they had merely dropped in
from the street without any pause in
dressing room.
Chiffon scarfs woven with tiny cut
steel beads or infinitesimal j=t particles
are also used for bridge wear, and some
of these scarfs are most beautiful, the
texture being astonishingy soft and sup
pie. Pale chiffon scarfs have crystal
beads mingled IN the mesh in the same
manner and are delicate flower
petals sp-inkled with dew drops. y

1t Is quite the fad to match thediapha-
nous shoulder scarf with an immense
muff OF the same material. and absurd as
the idea is as far as practical considera-
lions are concerned, one cannot gainsay
the coquettish character Of these combi-
nations. a gray chiffon scarf, laid In
three-inch tucks set three inches apart, is
matched by a huge muff of the same ma
terial. and both mum and scarf are trim
med with a border of smoked fox-a love-
~, soft gray fur.
A woman at the horse show two weeks
ago wore over her blue gown shoulder
scarf Oh vivid flame-colored chiffon edged
all around with black lynx. and her mutt
was of the flame chiffon trimmed with
lynx brushes. The combination Of the
re- scarf and muff with the deep blue
gown. the latter deliberately embro dered
with gold. was bri liantly striking and
oriental in suggestion, and the woman
was the cynosure of all eyes.
At the horse show scarfs OF all sorts
abounded. In the afternoon they were
thrown over dark costumes OF cashmere
and crepe and In the evening they served
to veil bare shoulders and arms. These
light evening scarfs are thrown about
the shoulders before the fur coat is
donned; and some OF them are even soft
enough to be folded up and tucked In the
pocket Of a coat lining.

Opera scarfs are delicate In coloring
and woven with sparkling crystals or
with metal heads. Where every costume
glitters the woman who glitters most at
tracts most attention; and nothing is SO
glittering as the metal-wrought Assyrian
scarfs The price of these scarfs has
jumped quite bit since the nomads who
make them discovered how fashionable
they were in other countries. When Of
a rich Quality-that is, with the canvas
ground well covered with the little hand
applied metal particles-they are very
costly, only the meagerly covered ecarfs
being within the means Of an average
purse.
But most costly of ell are the lace
scarfs-and most beautiful of all. too:
though, to be sure, one who may not own
one of these expensive accessories may
console herself with the reflection that

OF course the scarf, even when trimmed
with fur, does not take the place OF a

ornament and with no pretense Of its

NEW BRANCH LINES.
Chicago, Milwaukee and Pacific VIII
Add Thousand Miles of Track.

Chicago. May 14.-Construction of
branch lines. which will add over 1000
miles to the Pacific coast extension OF
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul ran
road. will soon be undertaken by that
road.
The territory to be thus invaded has
heretofore been controlled by the Hill
lines. The activities of the st. Paul
road IN the opinion of railroad officials
will mean a substantial cut into the
traffic volume now enjoyed by the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
lines.
Surveying parties working in the in
terests of the Hill, Hartman and St.
Paul roads are running neck and neck
through untapped country in the North
western states laying out competitive
routes, closely followed by picked con-
struction gangs in charge of the most
experienced engineers in the employ of
these roads.
Every energy is being bent to have
the new lines IN operation as soon as
possible.

BIG PROFIT IN HENS.
Poultry Business as Viewed by a
Scientist of the Government.

Poultry Business as Viewed by
Scientist of the Government.
That the egg industry affords an eX-
cellent opportunity for investment is
the opinion Of Professor Milo NJ. Has
tings, scientific assistant animal hus-
bandry Office of the agricultural de-
partment at Washington. The best cs-
Inmates available indicate that the III
come from poultry products is one OF
the four or five most important sources
of the agricultural wealth of the ma
ton. The proof of this statement is
attributed to the fact that the price
of eggs for the last ten or twelve years
has shown not only an absolute rise
but Il relative rise, when compared
with the general average of values of
either farm crops or food products.
One of the principal requirements
generally considered is the degree OF
freshness. The rule. however. is some
