Plain hexagons OF rather heavy
mesh. dotted and fancy fine meshes
and the familiar cobweb or shadow
designs In veilings should not be over
looked by the shopper who needs a
smart finish for her runabout tailored
suit Of serge or a smart mixture suit
and a simple. natty hat. The veil
should be as nearly as possible the
shade Of the hats brlm and its trim
mings. and In this instance not an
elaborate detail of the costume. Lace
wells. on the contrary. may be made
a prominent feature OF the afternoons
reception costume with which they
are usually worn and the wisest
choice In these Is a black and white
chantilly. For motoring the newest
and smartest thing in veilings Is chif-
fon. with an embroidered border done
In woods Of contrasting color like
green on navy. brown on tan or black
on purple.

FASCINATION OF THE SNAKE
Traveller Tells Of His Own Unpleasant
Experience With . Monster
Of the Species.

One OF tho most wonderful OF the
scrpent's feats Is the power OF con.
tinuing motionless. with the lifted head
projecting forward for an indefinite
time. This ability Is OF tho highest
Importance to the reptile. both when
fascinating Its victim and when min.
licking some inanimate object. espe.
cially the stem and body OF an
aquatic plant. When the serpent is In
this attitude. with its round. unwink.
ing eye fixed on the beholder's face.
the effect IL most uncanny.
Perhaps no better illustration OF the
scrpcnt's bcwitching power could be
given than that related by Ernest
Granville. n South African traveller.
who describes his own experience.
when boy he frequently went out
into tho bush in search Of game, and
on one OF these solitary excursions he
sat down to rest in tho shade OF a
willow on the bank OF stream.
Sitting there. with his check resting
on his hand. he fell into a boyish
reverie. After some time he became
aware In vague way that on the
wnlte, Buuuy DOttou OI tne stream
there was stretched n long. black line.
which had not been there at first.
For some time he continued regard.
ing II. without knowing what It was.
until all ut once. with an inward
shock. he became fully conscious that
1t was large snake.
presently" says Mr.. Glanville,
without apparent motion. so softly
and silently It was done. the snake
reared it's head above the surface, and
held 1t there. with the cleaning eyes
fixed on me. as II asking what was.
1T flashed upon me then that II
would be n good opportunity to test
the power OF the human eye on a
snake. and l set myself the task of
looking 1t down. II was n foolish ei.
fort. The bronze head and sinewy
neck. about which the water flowed
without n ripple. were as II carved In
stone. and the cruel. unwinking eyes.
with the light coming and going in
them. appeared to grow brighter the
longer looked.
"Gradually there came over me a
sensation OF sickening fear. which. "
I had yielded to It. would have left me
powerless to move. But. with n cry. /
leaped up and. selling a fallen willow
branch. attacked the reptile with n
species OF fury. ana It quickly disap-
peared."

quietly.

CURTAINS IN THE BEDROOM
Economy May Be Combined With
Good Taste In the Manner De-
serIbed In This Article.

In making curtains for the bedroom
windows you can economize In ma
terial by selecting swiss or scrim the
width Of the window. Now measure
on the length you desire the curtains
and cut the material from corner to
corner on tho bias. In other words.
cut from the lower left-hand corner to
the upper right-hand corner.
To this bias edge apply rune
either Of tho material or Of coarse
lace.
Finish the Joining seam neatly by
stitching a strip OF featherstitched
braid or n narrow bias fold over the
rufIle and seam edge.
Now finish tho broad straight edge
at the top with a hem and narrow
casing. through which Is run a tape
the length OF the width OF the window.
The curtains are then shirred over
the tape or small brass rods and at
tached to the windows.
Drape them to each side OF the win.
dow with ribbons or cotton cords.
and you will have a pair OF very good
looking curtains. made from the Quan.
tity OF material generally employed
In making one curtain.

Enter Village Police Force
Here Captain Dunbar of the village

sumed the task of keeping the unaer'

he did largely by moral suasion.
The parade swung round the corner

enough. considering the happenings Oh
the past year. is suffering with an eye

Before nightfall they had bought all
the tin horns in town and had Sc
cured banners upon which their ulti.

was painted.
The next day the teachers found
more empty desks than before. ine
strike had grown. Some OF the par
ents were sympathizers with 1t.
On Jan. 10 Sigmond Opera House
on Main street was the scene OF q
mass meeting which took the douple
form of a protest against the removal
OF Principal Smith and a demand that
the school board resign. There was
ginger In the speeches. Almost as
many women were present as men.
That very night dispatch came
down from the state capital announc'
ing the dismissal Of Superintendent
Barnes appeal. 1t contained the ON.
cial comment. THE rule Of moral
conduct on the part Of teachers must
be held to with absolute rigidity.
which every one accepted as quite IN
line with the towns policy.
Petitions for Principal Smiths re-
instatement we're displayed for sig
natures In four parts OF town and gen.
erously signed. They were presented
at still another meeting.
Whole Thing Summed Up.
In all OF the doings growing out Of
the removal of the principal the op'
portunity has not been permitted to
pass without a dig Mt Barnes and
caustic comments on the way he tried
to explain his indiscretion by saying a
hysterical little school teacher up and
kissed him.
| But with Barnes somewhere In the
west and the little school teacher re-
ported as happily married. and Lewis
satisfied that he did his full duty In
reporting the cutting up. and Eddie
T. Smith getting another job. without
as much rs losing day. but temper

tated eyes and a tuneful flddle-with
these characters In the controversy

Strengthened out by and by.
"Freeport people have got enough
sense to handle the school question: u
observed Captain Dunbar. but I'm
not on the job OF predictin' when
they'll do It. I'm a police officer. Po
lice officers are paid for police duty
not for predictin.."
