That conditions on the Santa Fe are
rapidly approaching normal, is indi-
Gated by the fact that the freight

The loading consisted of Ass car
loads, representing freight loaded on
the eastern lines or received from
connecting roads for shipment over
the Santa Fe. The amount received
from other lines, however, was rather
small.
A freight movement, heavier than
that of any day during the war nat

Earrings in Hats
Quite Attractive

Earrings are almost necessity with
many of the new spring hats, and so
necessary are they to the prevalent
designs that many milliners have seen
fit to sew them into the hats, SO that
there shall be no question about
whether they shall be worn or not.
And. because these latest earrings are
so long and dangling. and sometimes
SO heavy. one is fortunate to have
them fastened to the hat. instead OF
having to carry the weight on ones
cars and to run the risk of losing them
because of their own weight. Crys-
tai earrings are. by all odds. the
favorites and there is no limit to the
lengths to which they droop. pro
vided ones head. neck and shoulders
can stand the exaggerated size of
them. ......
There are earrings in large. round
understanding for hat trimmings
and there are many beaded tassels and
those made Of slender silver and gold
chains. And they are just as at
tractive as they can be, especially
when they are worn with frocks and
coats that harmonic with them in

footsteps out Of things commonplace
into Paradise resplendent with trip
