Fol the woman of average means, a
separate coat, to be worn with frocks

the wardrobe. Such a coat needs to
be carefully selected, since il is to do
duty as a street coat, for travelling, for

But great numbers of separate coats

fashion, is the Cleopatra headband.
This Is n very simple hair ornament

rhinestones and binds the brow after
the manner OF Egyptian and other
headdresses And It is entirely sue

TWO patterns of this new hair orna-

The Belgian use OF sheep dogs to

the methods of warfare of an earlier
day. In the Scottish clan feuds, as
well as in English fights with Scot
land, both sides used dogs for that
purpose, though generally it was with
the idea of killing them off when
found. Unwounded fugitives, too,
were sought by the dogs, and both

the body out TO see why the snake
had not made an effort to get away

for an hour or so longer Then they
returned TO the spot and found the
body OF the "tomiga" EMBODIED by
that OF the bIacksnake. which also was
dead. II had been bitten about mid
way between head and tail and its
body was swollen. II was concluded
that the "tomiga' had started the fight
by biting the blacksnake, which got

One man, the child, boy of four
years, and the paddle man got into
the canoe and put OFF. The first eddy
caught them when they were not
25 feet from shore and upset
their boat. AS they struck the water
a huge boa dropped from limb over
hanging the water, coiled itself
around the child and started for shore.
II glided up the steep bank and made
for the jungle. The child's body
caught between two stalks of bamboo
and while the snake was trying 10

bank ran up and killed 1t. Two
bright welts around the body of the
child are the only injury he sustained.
