modern sartorial art upon the somewhat
cruder form of earlier times.
Among the popular fabrics for which the
ultra fashionable woman shows prefer
ence for evening wear are the embroidered
chiffons, gauZes and mousselines. There is
no one in the world to equal French dress
makers in the designing of filmy gowns of
this material. From their hands come the
daintiest creations imaginable, and it nat
urally follows that on this side of the
water we cannot do better than to accept
the models Paris has originated.

Few Snake Bites.
The Serpentine Dance.

When the reptiles are exhibited within
house admittance is gained by each visitor
paying whatever he wishes to present.
Visitors advised in advance that the
doors will be closed until the conclusion of
the dance.
A circle is formed in the middle Of @
large room capable of containing comfort
ably one hundred persons. In the center
is placed the jar containing the reptiles.
When everything is ready the charmer
takes his pito and begins to play a very
slow melody, which he calls "desaletaga-
dora or awakener. The snakes begin to
move themselves and raise their heads.
Immediately the charmer plays an an
dante and the reptiles become more ami
mated and begin the dance which Is known
the Ang Sayao.
AS soon as they are all animated and
dancing, swaying TO and fro, with their
mouths open and their tongues darling, he
plays a very rapid and wild air, and then
suddenly allows the reptiles to leap out
of the JAR Then follows an extraordinary
scene.
The music seems to affect the spectators
much as 1t does the snakes. During the
exhibition they eat and drink until intoxi-
Gated. At times they even mix confuSedly
with the liberated reptiles and dance among
them until exhausted, when they fall to
the ground as though dead, overcome with
fatigue and with the nipa alcohol which
they have drunk
sees that he has sufficiently entertained the
spectators he concludes his exhibition in the
same manner that he began; that is, he be-
Gins tn moderate the music and concludes
with an extremely slow and sad melody.
The reptiles, obedient to the raps of his
switch then return to their retreat In the
large earthen jar, rolling themselves up
AFT the bottom. If any have remained on
the floor, mingled with the intoxicated
men the charmer switches such tagging
reptiles on the head, compelling them to
betake themselves to their proper habfta-
ton in the jar, and they obey the command
of their master.
When all the reptiles are within the jar
thew are sprinkled with nipa alcohol,
whereupon they Immediately fall asleep.
