IN TOUCH WITH FASHION Diaphanous. Scarfs of Filmy Lace and Big Billowy M ufTs 0 Roses Ribbon Bracelets Other Pretty Fancies NEW YORK. Even If the tailors and milliners and modistes were compelled by law not to change the style of suits or hats or gowns, season after season, the sellers of things that wo men wear would still have ample op portunity to keep Dame Fashion In the forefront of the fickle. For there are a thousand and one dress acces sories In addition to the mainstays of one's costume, and In these acces sories the chance for change is un limited. The sash, or belt or scarf, or how, or jabot which one wore as the newest of new wrinkles a year ago Is this year not even endurable. Shapes, lengths, widths, colors all vary with the turn of the year al most of the month. ! Filmy Scarfs. Consider the scarf of today the scarf which looks particularly well on her who Is divinely tall. It may be like scarfs of other seasons In a gen eral way, but It has something that seems to spell only the year 1912. You don't know exactly whatthe dif ference is, wherein the change lies, but it Is there. A diaphanous affair Is this scarf. It has a witchery all Its own, but yet a practical use at the same time, for In Its flimsy mesh is enough warmth to keep draughts off the shoulders or throat. The scarfs used with evening gowns nowadays are of old Spanish lace, chantilly, and embroidered chiffon. Lace is fre quently laid over chiffon. Taffeta and eatin scarfs also are popular for street wear. One of semi-dress is made of two contrasting colors, forming an ex ceedingly smart combination. Anoth er is of taffeta, and hand-embroidered with a wide flat muff to match. Still another is of black moussellne over white, edged with narrow black che nille fringe. Flower Muffs for the Opera. Many of the evening muffs for opera and theater use are made entirely of flowers. A billowy one of pink roseff, veiled over with gray moussellne, and with a gray and pink scarf to go with It, is a thing of beauty. For such a muff alone one has to pay the modest price of $125. (But one shouldn't talk of cost when one is writing about fash ion, should one?) ' Another dainty creation in the way of a muff is constructed of Parma vio lets, draped over with wavy folds of lavender chiffon. The accompanying scarf is a satiny fabric, the same color as the violets, with a layer of the lav- A FILM OF LACE LAID OVER A CHIFFON SCARF. These Lace Webt Are 8ometlrr.es Laid Over Satin or Velvet. ender cbiffon over all. Edging of silky chenille fringe completes the scarf. The muff is of such enormous size that muffs of a year ago would look like pigmies beside it Underlying the craze for the vast and capacious even ing muff Is a story of feminine fad such as is rarely heard even in the world of mode. Here it Is: Women have come to wear rings with settings so huge that no evening gloves of moderate proportions can be slipped over them, and so the opera muff has been seized upon as a pretext for not wearing gloves at all. How long will It last, the most sanely bejeweled are asking. Not very long, let us hope, ffbe muffs are pretty enough in them selves, but who will say that any crea tion of flowers and silks and laces can equal the daintily gloved handf ' For the time being, however, the muffs are certainly the "rage," and are much used even by women who scorn the over-large ring settings. All the ex clusive outfitters are offering them, made to match your gown, in any shade or color, at any price, of any size. Sashes are legion these times. Young girls, naturally, are the first, generally the last also, to be affected by a recurrence of the sash fever, and one sees them sashed as variously now as they were ten years or so ago. Black and green is a favorable com bination for a tulle sash, which drops from the corsage down the front of the skirt There is a rosette at the upper end, and a second larger one at the hem, both formed of Vivid green shamrock leaves, which furnish a startling, but very pleasing contrast to the black tulle. Novelties of Many Kinds. Novelties In collars and cuffs the TAFFETA SCARFS ARE POPULAR FOR STREET WEAR. Muffs Repeat the Scarf Treatment with Satisfying .Harmony. detachable ones used on house dresses are always in order. Rapidly as these necessary accessories wear out, one cannot get rid of them as fast as new ones are designed and put on sale. One of the attractive styles Is embroidered in daisies, each of which has a center of black velvet. In the same category with the collars and cuffs, one must consider the ribbon bracelet and neckpiece. It Is no longer sufficient. If one really follows the mandate of the passing fashions, to cut a piece of plain ribbon and use it for throat or arm. You buy rib bons already embroidered, or trimmed, or finished with fancy ends, and you put them on Just as you would a gar ter or a gold bracelet or your shoes and stockings. The more skilled the novelty maker becomes In finishing new and dainty things to wear, the more generally she can develop into salable articles those simple odds and ends which customers of a decade ago fashioned for themselves with the aid of scissors and needle. For wash dresses fichus are made of soft mull or sheer organdie and bordered with hemstitched frills. As their daintiness is their charm, every stitch Is made by hand. Here Is a golden opportunity for the girl who can use her fingers. For there are things that can be made as well at home a by a modiste, and fichus are one of them. Rosebuds and Violets. As In other bits of decoration, the rosebuds on this spring's hats have changed a little from last spring's, and the milliners have found different angles at which to slant them. Moss roses they are, for the most part pink ones, shaded from the deep and nearly red hue, down by the stems, to the delicate petals, pale as a peach blossom. Roses, of course, are not the only flowers . for. hats. One sees piquant brims resting on bunches of violets; drooping brims leaning over clusters of sweet peas; saucy, tilted brims set off by Isolated carnations, or snowballs, or even gorgeous Imita tions of the laurel. If a botanist should walk down Fifth avenue, on a warm afternoon auguring the ap proach of real springtime, doubtless he would declare that not a flower of temperate or troplo zone had been omitted from the milliner's artificial list. Strange blossoms that no gar den In this part of the world knows have been contrived and the milliner tells you that these blooms represent genuine plant life of places nearer the equator. It matters little whether the story is Action. The blossoms are pretty enough to be true. If they are frauds, so much the more credit Is due the designer who puts them together. DARING BANDITS SHOT ARGENTINE POLICE HAVE EN COUNTER WITH DESPERADOES- Two American Robbers Are Killed During a Fierce Gun Fight With Officers Days of Australian Bushrangers Recalled. Buenos Aires, Argentine Republic The government has received Informa tion respecting the death of the two tupposed American bandits. Evans and , Wilson, shot in an encounter with the frontier police of Chubut According to the report by the chief of police of that district, at the beginning of de- 'cember a picket of eieht mounted do- llce left in the direction of the River Pico, under the command of Sub-Lieutenant Blanco. It bad been previous ly ascertained that the bandits, Rob- i" anas tiooa, anas nace, 'and William Wilson, had appeared in mat neighborhood. The gang of ban Sits infesting the frontier had been di vided into two groups, owing to the circumstances that they wer . being closely pursued by another picket un der MaJ. Gabhart The picket in charge of Sub-Lieutenant Blanch came within sight of Evans and Wilson December 9 in a valley, where they were preparing food, writes Robert H. Reld In the Chicago Daily News. The police, getting within about 25 meters of them, descended from their horses, and were at once saluted by the bandits with several dum-dum bullets from Winchesters. As the police continued to advance one ot their number, named Montenegro, re ceived a fatal shot from Evans' car bine and died almost instantly. The game bandit also wounded another po liceman, Pedro Pena, in the right arm. The latter replied to the, shots with some effect. Evans fell seriously wounded, but when lying on the ground continued to fire from a Colt's revolver In tbeBe circumstances Cadldo Rlos stepped nearer and shot Evans dead. On seeing this Wilson made off through the woods with a wound in the left hand received during the combat Not withstanding that he continued fir ing at the police as he ran, using his revolver with his wounded hand, while he clasped a Winchester rifle' in his right In his flight Wilson tried to take refuge In some brushwood, but his pursuers discovered him. Pedro Roas, from his horse, fired at him through the bushes, and having dis mounted and got nearer to him, gave him another shot which finished his career of infamy. The police found In the possession ot the two bandits one Winchester, two Colt's revolvers, a "Parabellum" revol ver, 4,000 bullets of different caliber, a saddle, a small tent, $1,100 in money (on Evans), a Chilean $10 gold coin and several other articles. The bodies were recognized by several people In the district and were afterward buried. In addition to' the above, in conse quence of the arrangement between the governments of Chile and Argen tina, the frontier police have suc ceeded In capturing 196 desperate priminala. Many of these have been ('wanted" by the authorities for years. The governor of Chubut considers that his district Is now practically cleared ot pandits, but It Is pointed out that the North American outlaws George Praker, alias Cassidy; Henry Long augh, alias Harry Place, with his Wife, Ethel A. Plaee, and Harvey Logan are still at large In Chile or Pata gonia, and can easily recruit new ad herents from the criminals who regu larly escape from the prisons of the two republics. As an evidence of the remarkable ability of the female bandit it la re ported that after the attempted rob bery of the national bank at Paseo da los Indlos, while the police were In close pursuit and the male bandits were unable to reload their revolvers, Mrs. Place deliberately took aim at full gallop and shot the horse from un der the nearest police officer, which so demoralized the others that all the bandits escaped. She is a most daring horsewoman and can ride, the most un ruly steed without a saddle. MINNESOTA REDHEADS UNITE University Students Gain a Charter From the Lambda Tau Rho Three Chapters In U. 8.

STANDARD GRADE OF EGGS Purdue Station Gives Method Thai Will Greatly Assist In Determin ing Good Qualities. Eggs are sometimes graded as fol lolw8, says a Purdue bulletin: 'Extras Weight 28 to 26 ounces natural and absolutely clean, fresh ant sound, same color (a grade seldon used). Firsts 26 to 24 ounces, sound fresh, and reasonably clean. Seconds Shrunken, stale, washed stained and dirty. Checks Cracked and leaking. Rots Incubator, blood rings, dea germs and decomposed eggs. All eggs should be bought and soil on this grading system so that an eg will bring what It is worth. When the chandler tests the eggi he bases his Judgment on the following indications: Fresh Opaque, appearing almos' entirely free of any contents, some times dim outline of yolk visible, at cell verysmalL v Stale Outline of yolk plainly vis ible, sometimes muddy In appearance air cell very large. Developed Germ Dark spot visible from which radiate light colored bloot vessels. Dead Germ Dark spot attached t' shell, or red ring of blood, visible. Rotten Muddy or very dark In ap pearance, yolk and white mixed, at cell large and sometimes movable. Cracked White lines showing lr regularly in shell. Testing as above suggested will ait one In determining absolutely thi quality of the egg, not only for mar keting, but for incubation. Reeent changes in the pure foo law make it unlawful to sell or offet for sale eggs which are putrid, de composed, rotten or unfit for food The only way to obey this law is ti sell eggs upon the grade. "RETURNS FROM BROOD MARB More Profitable on Farm Than Geld Inga, and Better Bred They Are the More Satisfactory. A span of mares will give greate. returns on the farm than geldings and the better bred they are th more satisfactory returns. A few farmers realize this, and are seeking high grade, and In some cases regis tered mares, and from which to reai colts which will meet the market re qulrementa. Even during the past' season, when the horse market fell off In certain classes, the demand for high grade draft Btuff remained steady. It Is nol easy to produce real draft stock from inferior light female stock. A "chunk" can be obtained from such breeding stock, but this class is nol In demand to the extent that the real draft horse Is. A span or draft brood mares need not be out of service on the farm ex cept a few days, or weeks at the most, when rearing colts. The slow, plod ding work of the farm, though heavy, will not injure a brood mare even when she may be well along in the period of gestation. It Is even bettei for the dam and her offspring than too much leisure with little exercise. In the old country, the home of oui draft breeds, It Is the custom to put breeding stock of both sexes to work with sufficient exercise to keep up bodily vigor to its highest pitch. Horse market sales indicate a strong demand for brood mares from which it will bo possible to produce Just as good stuff, as much of that which has found Its way across the water to this country, and It is high time that this industry was given more attention, for it should not be necessary forever to look to the old world for all our breeding stock of the horse kind, and especially of the draft type. Care of the Lawn. Neatness should characterize the appearance of the, lawn and all parts of the premises visible from the high ways. The buildings should be paint led. If, with the exception of the house, they are all of the same color, they will form a much more pleasing background to the picture than II each has a color peculiar to Itself They look more as if they belonged together. In the farmer's show window the display proper will consist of typical specimens of his choicest product Id a small pasture near the house and road, the stock keeper will keep a few mares and colts, or a bunch of ewei with their lambs, or a band of year ling calves. The poultry breeder will display several pens of his finest blrdt in ample yards within view of the road. One Crop Folly. The evils of one crop agricultun are not to be measured in the lmme dlate present, but In our declining years or when we turn over a worn out farm to our children, says Kansai Farmer. The vast cotton fields of the South and the wheat fields of th North and West bear mute but em phatie witness to the suicidal policy ol adhering to but one crop. GIRL'S $11 PAY. SAFE IDLER LOSES FIGHT TO GET; SHARE OF CLERK'S WAGES.' Penuchle Eats Up Man's Legacy and He Goes Into Court Seeking an Or der to Compel His Daughter to Support Him. Chicago. Alma Seblitz, Is 20 years ld. She works at a glove counter xl a department store for $11 a week. Dn this she provides food and shelter '.or her mother and herself. Alma's father, Gus Seblitz,' healthy ind muscular, but unalterably op-' posed to work, recently concluded a losing fight In the courts to compel hla laughter to support him. Gus, the possessor of an expensive love of penuchle, had played the game In Germany until the last vestige of i recently received estate disappeared, rhen he thought of Alma and ber 911 i week. Girls don't have such expensive' tastes, he argued, and don't need money the way a man does, so he went Into the county court to compel Alma to give him $4 a week of the salary wita which she was supporting her mother and herself. Often Alma goes without ber noon lay lunch. She spends the 45 min utes allowed her walking about the streets, breathing deeply the outdoor Mr. Doctors have said she needed tresh air, and then well, $11 doesn't go very far for two, especially since Alma's lungs have become affected and she has to spend $3 each week for medical treatment But Gus never scrimped when it came to spending money on himself. When, one day, be learned of a leg acy awaiting him in Germany, though, the prospects looked bright for the Seblitz family. It looked as If Alma could give up her glove counter Job in the Immediate future. So Mrs. Seblitz sold their only prop erty a little North side store for $2,000, and sent her husband to Ger many to collect the money due from the estate, Just what he received, nobody ever learned. Whatever It was went into his beloved game of penuchle. One night's play took $1,400 of the money tor which his wife and daughter were waiting. He was despondent for awhile after that Then one day he heard that his daughter was still working at the de partment store. "She is now earning $11 a week," he heard. His palm Itched for "his share" of Alma's hard earned money and he came back. The $11 was already being stretched so the' rathe.- was refuesd. Seblitz went Into court seeking an' order to compel his daughter to sup port him. The hearing of the case was before Judge John E. Owens of the county court The girl took the stand and told her story. "Did you gamble away all your money and leave your family to shift for themselves T" the father was ask ed by Louis P. Anderson, assistant county attorney. "Yes, I was unlucky one night and lost $1,400 at penuchle," Seblitz an swered. "That's sufficient." thundered the court "The case is dismissed." Seblitz has since complained that the county attorney "was agin him." He called at the county attorney's of fice dally until he was violently eject ed. Now It is unlikely be will call again.

The ring with its engraving and a tattoo mark on the chest of the man. bearing the words: "In memory of Mother and Father," are the only dues by which the police hope to es tablish the Identity of. the robber. Ia their opinio nthe party of safe blow ers came from the United States. Four members of the gang escaped after a running fight with the vigilance committee which attacked the robbers before they could obtain any booty. Child as Ancestor of Dad. Franklin, Pa.
