The To9a Fashion
Of Wearing g. scarf

often neglected by the inartistic dress
maker.
Bridge scrafs in layers are very effec-
tfce. Two scarfs of chiffon in contrasting
color are Joined at the hens, and If the
colors are well blended the effect is
charming. Peacock blue under green is
used in this way; cobalt blue under gray,
emerald under black. and so on.
The Early Victorian Cape.
For evening wear there are still more
scarfs, and there are also the enhancing
little shoulder wraps of satin, bordered
all around with marabout. Some of these
marabout wraps are straight scarfs like
the toga spoken of previously; others are
in quaint pelisse style, with a point reach
ing to the waist at the back and long
tabs falling to the knees in front. Other
evening scarfs have strips of marabout
sewed all over the surface at intervals of
a few inches and there are huge muffs to
match. These furry-looking scarfs are
called tete du negre. and one of these
sets is illustrated.
BIuffs to Match the Scarfs.
1t is quite the fad to match the diapha-
nous shoulder scarf with an immense muff
of the same material, and absurd as the
idea is, as far as practical considerations
concerned, one cauuOL BdluSdy the
coouettish character of these combina-
tons. gray chiffon scarf laid In three
inch tucks set three inches apart, is
matched by a huge muff of the same
material, and both muir and scarf are
trimmed with border of smoked fox-a
lovely, soft gray fur.
A woman at the horse show two weeks
ago wore over her blue gown a shoulder
scarf of vivid fame colored chiffon edged
all around with black lynx, and her muff
was of the flame chiffon trimmed with
lynx brushes. The combination of the red
scarf and muff with the deep blue gown,
the latter deliberately embroidered with
gold. was brilliantly striking and oriental
in suggestion. and the woman was the
ctnosure 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 coat lining.

shade and is two yards wide and three
yards long, border of marabout going
all around the edge. The manner of
draping the toga scarf over one arm is
clearly shown in the photograph.
The Scarf a Color Key to the
Costume.
There are two sorts of scarfs; those for
evening and those for day wear. Some
OF these are interchangeable, but usually
the scarf is chosen for some particular
costume and worn with no other. For
example, gown of heavy Irish crochet
will be infinitely beautified by scarf of
white chiffon whose fiimsiness will bring
out In strong relief the richness of the
heavy lace. dancing frock of cream
lace threaded with baby blue ribbon, and
hung over slip of rose pink chiffon,
was made exquisitely pastel-like by a
floating mauve chiffon scarf which blend
ed the rather crude blue and pink coiors
into lovely lavender harmony And SO
onto the woman with an artistic appre-
citation of color values the possibilities of
the scarf as dress adjunct are un-
limited.

Than Useful.

New Hosiery.

IT NEW style In hosiery shows the
vertical stripe effect, and this will
y be much worn this winter. It In
obtained sometimes by simply the use
Of Isle stripe and a silk one in the
same shade. The half-inch stripes extend
the entire length of the stocking. The
scheme is carried out in contrasting coi-
ors, with the quarter-inch stripes In
front, decreasing to hairl1nes at the sides
of the stocking.
Boot patterns are very popular In ns
silk and Isle hose. A more expensive
model shows an embroidered panel,
reaching from the tip Of the toe to the
hem of the stocking, and Is outlined By
q lace band. The stripe effect will cause
the return of the multi-colored hosiery.
The French shops are showing conserva-
tive patterns very brightly embroidered,
a decided novelty.

coat bordered with white fox is quite
beautiful enough = and quite costly
enough. too = to satisfy the average
woman.
The fur sets combining neckpiece and
muf are much enhanced by fur toques
to match and these toques may be had
anywhere from dollar ninety weight to
a hundred dollars. A very good black
fox or brown squirrel toque may be
bought under ten dollars, for it is not
necessary that such hat be as hand
some as the fur used In collar and muff
The new fur toques set very far down
over the hair and are as warm as fur
caps. Often the crown is made of draped
velvet, only a fur border showing around
the edge OF the hat. A gold ornament, a
one side, forms the only trimming. Just
now there is fad for white gardenias
ON dark fur hats and many of these
gardenia trimmed hats, worn at the horse
show, were matched by snowy gardenias
In the coat lapel.
The toque should never be worn under
a veil, as the tissue OF the ven brushes
and fiattens the fur In unbecoming man
ner above the face. The woman who
wears a fur hat must make up her mind
TO going veilless, and IL the small portion
of her hair showing beneath the edge of
the big hat is manageable, net must
be worn. The fur hat is always jaunty
and youthful in suggestion, and formal
" tied veil robs it entirely of this jaunty,
girlish character.

black muffs have natural heads, tail and

Gray fox is more becoming than black,
the latter pelt bringing out all lines and
coloring into strong relief, while the
smoke-colored fur softens and fatters
both complexion and facial outlines
Chinchilla is another fascinatingly be-
coming gray fur, but schinchilla is almost
prohibitive In price. This beautiful pelt
is one of the few furs permitted to the
woman in mourning and is often COM
bined most effectively with Persian lamb
for mourning use. Lynx and fox are
both correct for mourning wear also.
White furs always seem to await the
first furry OF snow to make an appear

white fox on the fresh young girl; but
no older woman should venture white

Our venerable fellow citizen, Judge
Willis G.. Wood, was commenting on
the proposed Improvement of the Choc-
tawhatchie Bay, when We drifted into
one of those interesting "reminiscences
to which he sometimes treats his
friends.

suddenly to the west and came in
gusts and squalls, drifting us about a

Entertainment.
FOR SHR|NERS
THOUSAND DOLL S
FOR DEcoRATIoNs-GRAND PRO-
GRAM OF EVENTS-"GLAD-U
KUN" WILL BE THE SLOGAN OF
THE MEETING.

To furnish an idea to the character
of entertainment that will be afforded
the representatives to the Imperial
Council, Mystic Shrine, at the April
convention and all Shriners who come
to New Orleans lor the monster
gathering, the committee Of Jerusalem
Temple, which has charge Of the ar
engagements, calls attention to the fact
that $4,000 alone will be expended in
decorative features, says special
from New Orleans. This does not in
clude the many different forms Of IL
Elimination, the plans for which are
now being drawn. The latter will cost
more than the decorations, SO it can
be seen at a glance that Jerusalem
Temple members are not overlooking
anything to make the stay of the visi-
tors to New Orleans from every part
of NorLu America the most pleasant
they have yet experienced.
Distinctive Features.
The program of entertainment prop
er will embrace features distinctive of
New Orleans. This form of entertain
ment will, not doubt, appeal to the
visitors, as it will be different from
anything that they have as yet par
ticipated in. During their visit, the
Shriners will have ample opportunity
of rides on the Mississippi river, when
they will be in a position to get a
magnificent view of the great harbor.
z Every hotel and business house here
has been placarded with the word
"Glad-u-kum," printed in large red
type. "Glad-u-kum" will be the greet
ing extended to all Shriners in April.
not only by Jerusalem Temple men,
bers, but by everybody in New Or
leans, Men, women and children are
already becoming familiar with the
slogan for 1910 and by the time the
convention date arrives, nothing but
"Glad-u-kum" will be heard on the
streets of the Crescent City.
This slogan was adopted by Jerusa-
lem Temple shortly after the Louisi-
ana convention, upon the suggestion
of Illustrous Potentate Gus D. Levy. 1t
met with instant favor, the proof OF
this being the fact that many Of the
members are using it as greeting to
their friends who now nave occasion
to visit this city.
In Popular Favor.
The slogan was used when the I'M
perial Council committee, composed of
Messrs. Melish, Brown, Roweu, Cults
and McCandleless met here recently.
1t was also the greeting extended Fred
A. Hines, Imperial Deputy Potentate,
who was also a recent visitor to the
City of Sunshine" 1t met with popu-
lar favor, and there is no doubt but
that "Glad-u-kum'' will sound good to
the ear of the stranger April 18th,
18th, 18th and 14th.
Letters from ne captains of the diff
ferent patrons over in North America
indicate that the men in Arab costume
are paying strict attention to drills,
their purpose being to capture the
prizes offered by the executive COM
mice in the exhibition drills. This
gives rise to the belief that the var1-
Gus patrols will be largely represented
and will take part in the magnificent
street parade.

TOWN OF TAFT
IS OUTCLASSED
NEWPORT, IDAHO, HAS PALM FOR
CORRUPTION -WICkEDNESS is
UNMoLESTEp-RA WAY OPER-
ATOMS BROUGHT HUNDREDS
OF EVIL DOORS.

A special from Spokane, Wash,
says: The town of Taft, Mont, noted
for many months as the "wickedest
town in the United States" and the
toughest on the continent, is now de-
serted and almost destroyed, the COM
pletion of the Milwaukee railway work
at that point having resulted in its
desertion, but the town of Newport,
Idaho, has become a fitting successor,
if it has not, indeed, surpassed Taft's
record for iniquity
hundreds of foreign railroad labor
ers went from Taft to Newport to
work on the Pend Oreille extension of
the Idaho & Washington Northern
railway, and they have been followed
by hundreds Of gamblers, dance hall
proprietors, saloonkeepers and other
parasites.
Lawlessness holds absolute sway,
save once a week, when the Bonner
county officials visit the town. On
that day, which is always known in
advance, the gamblers and other dis
solute characters walk a mile, cross
the state line into Washington and
spend a few hours on the west side Of
the line. No attempt is made to ar
rest any of the lawbreakers, and the
Infamous condition existing is being
used by the local option advocates IN
their fight in Bonner county.
Newport, Idaho, consists of thirty
seven saloons, nearly score of dance
halls, as many gambling dens, four
stores, boarding houses for the rail-
road laborers, q hospital and two no.
tells.
One Bonner county official is now a
fugitive, hiding because Of an indict.
ment against him for accepting hush
money from Newport gambler. Ida
no laws prohibit all-nlght saloons ana
provide for their closing on Sunday.
The Newport saloons are never
closed for one hour and have no LOCKS
on the doors. State laws prohibit
gambling, yet gambling tourishes.
Boys as young as IL years go from
Newport, Wash, to Newport, Idaho,
and come home drunk. The residents
Of the Washington town are helpless,
though indignant. Hold-ups and rob-
berries are daily events and mysterious
disappearance are nearly as frequent.
