a fashion note says that belts,
gloves, and neckties Of raitlesnake
skin will be worn a great deal by
women this year. We knew the
poor ratIlesnake would have to
come to it sooner or later. II was
about the only varmint left that
women didn't wear. Think OF a
woman being arrayed in a silkworm
dress, sealskin sacque, ostrich
feather hat, goat ska shoes, whale
bone stays, kid gloves, horse hide
belts, tortoise shell comb, clam
buttons, spitz dog mu6, camel hair
underwear mink tail collsrcue,
alligator hide purse, and now a
rattlcsnake ncokue. Solomon, in
all bis glory, wasn't such a mcnagerie
as thcse-and yet we love them, no
matter what they wear. Exchange.
