affairs that Paris has whimsically in
sisted all the world shall wear are
side by side.
Such funny little affairs some of
them are-regular little polo caps, or
Dutch bonnets, that are only tiny
apologies for hats, yet are wonder
fully attractive and most becoming.
New swisses are embroidered and
printed in all sorts of designs, the
flower idea being perhaps prettiest
OF all.
A new treatment for the tiny lace
frills that face some of the prettiest
of the spring hats is running them
from the outer edge to the inner and
out again in a sort of point, which is
filed in by other frills, which get
shorter and shorter as the space de-
creases.

Among the Light Fabrics.

Ever since fashion veered around
to soft, lightweight stuffs that could
be shirred and draped and tucked and
made into full, wide costumes. manu-
facturers all over the world have
been working to turn heavy fabrics
into light. stiff materials into supple.
without losing the characteristics of
each material.
Nobody thought it could be done
with taffeta, yet soft finish taffeta has
been achieved. and has leaped into
popularity with single bound Among
the spring suits none is much prettier
than those in which taffeta plays an
important part.

Animals That DEFY Cold.

learned professor of the Acade-
mie des Sciences has been making
experiments which have resulted in
convincing him that the rabbit is of
all living things the most capable of
withstanding a very low temperature.
Enclosed all night in a block of ice a
rabbit was found next day getting on
very comfortably, and evidently not
aware of anything very peculiar in
its circumstances. In this regard the
rabbit leaves far behind our faithful
friend the dog. and, according to the
learned professor, sheep, goats and
pigs take good second, third and
fourth places.

Their New Corset.

Women are to no longer wear the
peculiarly low corset. They owe the
change to the Marie Antoinette fash
IONS The straight, high stomacher
front is required to give these bodices
the straight line required from the
bust line to the deep point. Though
built on Queen Anne lines. these cor
sets are luxurious, with no torturins
wood and iron, such as that monarch
and her ladies endured. The straight
front effect is thus retained, only it is
elongated And there are the support
ers, 1t is said that an old corset OF
the day of Queen Anne actually shows
traces of these same supporters.

Tennessee Farmers Odd Liking for
.venomous Snakes.

.Venomous Snakes
Joshua Fleener, aged 80 years, keeps
den of rattlesnakes at his home near
Richards postoffice, this county. He
has made pets of snakes ever since
he was a boy.
He has eleven rattlesnakes in his
den, and experienced some difficulty
in caring for the serpents during the
cold weather. Fleener lives in an old
fashioned house with the back wall of
the fireplace on the outside of the
building The den. built of stones, was
made with the chimney place as one
of the walls The reptiles were placed
in this den during the cold weather,
and only one died this winter as a re-
suit of the cold.
Sometimes, when the chimney made
the den too warm, the serpents would
become angry and fight one another.
The snakes were all captured by Flee
ner in the woods near his home, and
they are all timber rattlers. a species
which is becoming rare in this state.

selected site for their place of wor-
ship in a forest of Douglas fir trees
that skirted the shore of Puget sound,
and stretched inward for many miles.
Out of these immense, shaggy-barked
trees that lowered upward for 200
feet without a branch below the up
per half, they chose one eight feet in
diameter to serve as the steeple.
When the branch bearing portion of
the tree had been cut away to pre-
vent the falling of limbs in case of a
storm, there was left bare trunk
nearly 100 feet high Beside it there
was built a plain little structure. The
bell was fastened to the tree and the
little church, with its enduring steeple,
was complete.
Although St Peters was at one time
in the heart of the village of Tacoma
unfriendly Siwash Indians manifested
such strong disapproval of church go
ing pioneers that trusty shotgun
came to be regarded as necessary to
the church service as the Bible and
hymn book.
To-day the hostile Indians have dis
appeared, and even the city of Taco
ma itself seems to have abandoned the
church with its ancient tower. 1t is
surrounded by few little dwellings,
occupying the section of Tacoma
known as Old Town. The business
part of Tacoma is three miles away,
but one of the buildings to which Ia
comans point with pride when ex-
planning the superiority of their city
over Seattle is St. Peters church.
