A CCORDING to the annual report Of
"A the biological survey recently sub
mitted to Secretary Wilson, the rear
ing Of fur-bearing animals in the
United States for their pelts continues
to be subject Of much interest.
Skunks, muskrats minks and foxes
are reared in captivity or on preserves
under control of breeders. The large
prices asked for mature black foxes
for breeding purposes have resulted in
confining the industry in the hands OF
a very few. Comparatively few at

The bundles. too, are all wrapped in
such cloths. Strange, this preference
for dark blue, which also obtains in
the dress Of all these peasants. The
women wear black skirts, with wide
plated overjackets.. low at the neck,
where they show a neck kerchief of
spotless white, over which is pinned a
bright scarlet fiowered overkerchief.
But the long wide aprons they all wear
and which entirely cover the skirts,
are dark navy blue without exception.
The headdress is curious and con.
sists Of many pieces. all of which have
some meaning of their own, showing
whether the wearer is maid. wife or
widow, or whether she is in deep or
light mourning. Most of the women
we meet wear close-fitting white lace
or calico caps, over which is tightly
drawn the kerchief, Of bright col
ored fiowery pattern on cream ground.
Over this is laid q wide silver band,
lying close to the neck and coming up
over the ears Just above the eyes
two gold spirals are fastened that look
like small horns. At the back, the sill
yer headpieces have engraved the in
itials Of the wearer and are decorated
with some sprays Of leaves or flowers
Although not SO costly as the gold
headpieces of the Holland and Frisian
peasants, these silver ornaments rep
resent good values, costing from 36 to
40 forms ($14.40 to $16). Every girl.

LYRIC BENEFIT SALE.
is RECORD BREAKER

Never in the history of Bridgeport
has there been such a demand for
seats for a benefit as the one to be
given at the Fox Lyric Sunday for
the benefit of the flood sufferers un-
der the auspices of Mayor Wilson the
Bridgeport Relief committee and the
entire press of the city.
Edwards Shields who is one of the
oldest and most widely known vaude-
Vile managers in the country says
he has been flooded with offers from
the best vaudeville acts to come here
at their own expense and appear at
this benefit. Mr.. Fox wants this known
as a part of the general fund and not
for any personal aggrandizement. That
is why he is giving the use of his
theatre and three complete shows of
eighteen acts.
Every musician in the city has prof
fered services for the big augmented
orchestra and a stage full of instru-
mentalfsts will open the show with
half hour concert It is more than
likely that a matinee will be given
Sunday afternoon but that will not
be announced until every reserved
seat is sold for the night show. There
are enough acts to give two COM
p1ete shows without any repeats and
the only regret is that the house is
not twice as large.
A full and complete list of the acts
will be published Friday. There are
only very few seats left for the
night show and no telephone orders
for Sunday night will be held later
than six o'clock Thursday afternoon
The management has been careful in
selling only limited numb er of tic
kets to one person or concern so that
it can be classed as a donation from
many and not from a few

The ~smartest coats are made in

ed silks and broadcIoths, says the
Philadelphia North American. Nearly
all show sashes of satin or wide
belts. Buttons are used to trim them,
and all the novelties that have ap-
peared in buttons for mothers dress
are reproduced in smaller size for

Oval forms predominant. Enamel,
bone, wood and glass buttons afford
important decorat tive notes for little
coats.
Braid gives a jaunty, military touch
in straight lines across the front and
forms epaulets on the shoulders The
silk mohair and soutache braids are
favored.
Bulgarian embroidery in wool or
coarse threads in the vivid reds,
blues, greens and yellows is very eff
fective. 1t appears on many of the
expensive models; but there is no
reason for its being confined to these,
as any needlewoman should be able
to work a conventional pattern on
the front, collar and cuffs of a wool

INDUSTRIAL SHOW
CONTINUES To DRAW
BIG ATTENDANCE

There was no dinlinution of enthus-
1asm at the Bridgeport Exposition
last evening and the armory was again
packed with a throng of over $500
people as on the opening night. In
fact the show was even better than on
Monday evening, for the rough edges
had been smoothed off and the ad-
ditional exhibits in the new part of
the armory were open for the first
time. These included the exhibits of
the Bridgeport Public Library under
the direction of Librarian Calhoun
Latham, the State Trade school, George
B. Clark, The Bridgeport Home Pic
ture Machine company and many
others. For the first time the spec
tators visited this portion of the ex-
position and were delighted with it.
Far better bthan on the opening night
the Industrial moving pictures proved
a great drawing card and delighted
the large number of visitors last night.
The hall was made darker and conse-
quently the pictures showed UP very
clearly indeed Added pictures of To-
cal celebrities including Fanny Crosby
the famous blind hymnist, were
thrown on the screen and proved a
popular innovation. As usual, Miss
May BowTby and Miss Rosalie Bren-
nan were the centers of interest be-
cause of their part in the movies
The exhibits were largely patron
lied and many sales reported. Thous-
ands of souvenirs and useful articles
were given away and everyone who
attended the show left the arnory la
den with articles of all descriptions.
1t was merry, good natured throng.
The new exhibits of the Bridgeport
Public Library and the State Trade
school in the new annex were objects
of interest. The library has over 1000
industrial and mechanical books on
hand and application can be made for
them by those interested. Mrs. d.
Bishops exhibit of dolls collected from
traction.
school, the exhibit of handsome ar
ticles of wood fashioned by the pu-
pills and the printing press in actual
operation printing the palm garden
menu, all had their quota of visitors.
A steriopticon lecture on the work of
the school is also given daily.
The other new exhibits the
model living room, library and kitchen
shown by George B. Clark, and in the
latter the housewives were shown the
culinary art by a competent chef who
cooked all sorts of dainties.
A large parlor was~aIso used by the
Home Moving Picture company in
which to give concerts with the Ed
ison disc monographs. Here hundreds
rested and heard delightful selections
The big industrial show is breaking
all records for attendance and is ad-
vertising Bridgeport and it's products
as never before. 1t is open afternoon
and evenings.
