the night dresses softer or of prettier
styles They resemble the morning
gown or the simpler tea gown. more
than anything else, even in the matter
of material But I'VE love to think of
the gauzy or silken gown rather than
of the challie or cashmere one, and
therefore the latter, though worn, are
less common. The gown of muslin,
dotted often of nainsool or of India
silk, profusely trimmed with lace ruff
ffes and banded with ribbons, made up
after the empire fashion, turned back
in broad revers, or trimmed with deep
lace ruf1es at the neck, is the gown
that all women love. 1t is an easy
matter to have such a gown: you can
make it yourself, if you like, it is sim
pie enough. But it is scarcely worth
while. when such elaborate ones cost
comparatively little.
One that / saw to-day had round
woke of the finest, thinnest embroiG-
erv. beneath which was row of
rather wide beading. for the satin rib
bon. From the beading stood out
finely plated rufhe of nainsook. edged
with narrowest lace.
OF the corset cover but little is to be
said. The laces and frills that once

adorned 1t now trim the corset alone,
and its cover fits closely without
wrinkle, occupying as little space as
possible.
The dressing sack and the robe d in
terieur are not less fascinating than
the pretty skirt or night dress or
course more liberty is given in the
matter of material Silk, challie,
cashmere. crepe, dotted muslin, and
the finer linens and lawns are all used.
The sack is made loosely and COM
fortably, with big sleeves, and shout
der ruffie that may continue down the
front.
Or folds of lace around neck and
sleeves are simple and of pretty effect,
with knots of bright ribbon added.
Vatican effects are given to almost all
of the morning robes, and the plain tea
gowns have fronts of single color,
with back and sides OF fancy challie
or other printed material. The all
white wrapper is most suitable for
summer, and nothing can be cooler or
more refreshing on a hot day than to
slip into one of them.
A lovely morning robe. rather elabo-
! rate, is made of a pale old rose satin,
finely striped with white line, is
made up with just little fuliness,
caught together at the belt by wide
ribbon. At the neck a surplice effect
is given by wide band of broad quiz
pure insertion that crosses in long
slant. running down to the armholee-
The same cross effect is added to the
sleeves as well. The edge of the skirt
turns up in deep hem. All of the
morning robes have no trimming at
their edge. A hem is all-sufficient.
In the matter of small things tho
side garter is the more satisfactory.
Although there IS not such an oppor-
tunity for dainty ornamentation as in
the knee band, still it is much more
reliable. The pretty clasp of the knee
garter is changed in no way. New
things are. of course, constantly APP
pearing, and new ways of setting the
stones which CLEAN from the costly

sepulchre" for her. From the very
beginning of her dressing to the very
last touches she must be equally lovely.
Show me a woman that loves to sit and
trim pretty undergarment with lace
frills and soft baby ribbons and l will
show you one that men instinctively
turn to.
How lovable is the silken or sheer
muslin skirt-the skirt Of lawn, or per-
Gale, than which nothing could be
daintier! The full lace rufdes are
caught up in small shells. often; the
small headings are run with narrow
love ribbons of pale color, lavender or
yellow. Most OF the white skirts have
but a single lace founce, below tine
tucks The silk are worn very gem
orally, although they arc no longer
novelty or a craze. The ordinary
kind has single pinked rufae, rather
narrow. The skirt is of stripe to
match or to blend with the gown that
hangs over. The shot silks are not
SO popular as the narrow stripe. The
skirts are made like the tight-htting
gored skirt, closely drawn over the
hips. Although such absolute smooth
ness is not called for, since the depar-
ture Of the old bell, yet it is desirable
that all the fullness at the hips should
belong to the dress only. Therefore
the large woman puts yoke on her
petticoat. while the slender one keeps
the fullness of her skirt near the back.
For the warm summer days the long
fancy skirt is often the only one worn.
But when the gown is made over silk
underskirt, some women dispense with
the long skirt altogether, and wear
simply rather plain, short one, de-
void of anything that will cause it to
stand out. The union garment of wool
or silk calls for nothing more than
single skirt. over the short kniclSer-
bockers The chemise, when 1t is
worn, may be heightened into the
semblance of a skirt, slightly below
the knee.
Knickerbockers are made short, and
not over fancy. They rarely reach the

PYTHON EGGS.
A Big Snake in Connecticut Lays Half .
Bushel of EGGS.

Big Snake in Connecticut Lays Half .
Bushel of Eggs.
Perhaps about as curious thing as
DIR. Knox ever had in the line of Gu
riosities, says the Danbury Conn }
News, is his African python snake,
Eve, as she lies coiled about a half
bushel of eggs laid few days ago. 1t
is an event that ophiologists will be
interested in.
The discovery was made one morn
ing. For some time Adam and Eve,
two big African pythons, have been
domiciled in the big snake cage in
the doctors back Office. The bottom
of the cage is covered by deep layer
Of dirt and gravel. Both these snakes
have been in DR.. Knoxs possession a
year, and have sometimes been on ex-
hibition.
One evening DR.. Knox passed the
cage several times, going to and from
his front Office. Every time he passed
the cage the python snake Kissed at
him. He paid no attention to the
snake, and was more amused than
otherwise at the incident. Later in
the evening he locked up his Office and
drove over to Brewster, where his fam
lily is now stopping. When the doctor
opened his office the next day the
first thing he remembers doing was to
examine his snake collection. He
looked in the cage and saw what he
supposed were several new potatoes
lying under the python snake, Eve.
He opened the cage to remove them.
Going close to the snake, it Kissed at
him. This made him pause. Then he
took second look and was surprised
to see about one hundred snake eggs
under her.
Two of the eggs are on the writer's
desk as samples. They vary in size
and are rather heavy. They are soft to
the touch, oval in form, and ashy gray
color. The smaller of the eggs is the
size and shape OF ducks. The larger
one is no thicker, but about six inches
long. They were slightly specl1led.
1t is said that the she'll will become
hard.
Perhaps snake laying eggs in cap
tivity is not unusual, but the only case
called to the writer's attention was
when python did similar thing at
the Paris geological garden in 1914.
This serpent laid three dozen eggs.
She brooded on her eggs and Matched
young ones. She deposited her eggs
on the 9Th of May. and the first young
one made it's appearance on the I'd Of
July.
Whether DIR. Knox's collection Of
pythons viii be augmented or not by
the eggs is matter to be seen.
