COMBINATION OF
WHITE WITH
BLACK CREPE

4 PPARENTLY the combination OF
n white with black crepe has come
to stay. In those shops that special
lie in this branch of apparel one sees
a great deal of white crepe used in
millinery. In the winter time 1t APP
pears in facings or borders, or in
made ornaments, 1t is in facing hats
of black crepe that 1t is best liked.
For summer mourning, white crepe
IS used more extensively. Allwhite
hats, and combinations of black and
white crepe, in which the latter pre-
dominates, gives US new kind OF
mourning millinery in which it is pos
sible to be comfortable and to look
cool as well.

MONKEYS EASY PREY
JUNGLE LEOPARDS HAVE NO
TROUBLE GETTING A DINNER.
Mere Clicking Of Animals Teeth
Brighten Simlans Until in Their
Excitement They Fall From
the Trees.

How the leopards Of the low coun-
try jungle of Ceylon capture monkeys
is told by L. 8. Woolf In a letter to
the London Times.
Native Singhalese, who knew the
Jungle well,'' he writes. always as
sured me that no form OF food, except
perhaps the dog, is SO acceptable to
the leopard as the large gray Wan
deroo monkey. l have several times
found the remains of monkeys that
had obviously furnished the leopard's
meal In the caves which serve the
leopards for a lair-and the inside of
a dead leopard has shown further
proof.
The Singhalese had often told me
that leopards do not attempt to climb
trees in search Of their prey.
Whenever monkeys see a leopard
Sinking under the trees they become
excited and all chatter. AS soon as
the leopard hears this he lies down
under a bush and begins to click his
teeth.
This noise seems to fill the
monkey with terror and excitement.
They huddle together in the tree top
above the leopard's head, jumping up
and down on the branches, shrieking
and chattering. Below the leopard
waits modonless, clicking It's teeth,
until suddenly one Of the monkeys
misses its footing and comes to the

Il had always received this infor.
nation with some doubt until l one
day saw, at any rate, the first acts OF
the tragedy. l was travelling in thick
jungle and my bullock carts having
gone on in the early afternoon. was
following later in the evening down
the same sandy track. l noticed that
large leopard had been following
behind the bulls and that he had sud
denly turned aside down a small
game track.
AT the same moment l became
aware Of tremendous chattering Of
monkeys in the distance. l had
Singhalese with me and we crept
through the thick Jungle toward the
nisse.
After crawling about $50 yards l
saw about fifteen to twenty monkeys
jumping up and down excitedly on the
top Of small tree. They seemed to
be looking down at something on the
other side of large bush which was
IN front Of me and when they saw us
they kept on turning their heads first
at US and then to something else, leap
ing up and down and shrieking per
petually and-as 1t appeared to me
gesticulating and reckoning to US
with their long, thing gray arms.
The same thought came to the
Singhalese, for he whispered to me:
They are reckoning you to shoot I
lay still for moment thinking which
side Of the bush it was best to crawl
around, and then l distinctly heard
the click, click. click Of the leopard's
