MilIiners Incline to the Picturesque in the Shapes Put Forward for
 Fashions Approval.

The newest dress hats incline to picturesque brims and fiat crown. They are, in fact, quite the antithesis of the directoire or mushroom shapes and are designed with view to their proper completion of taffeta, satin or serg Q frocks. Reboux has used ostrich feathers to band a Gainsborough shape, and Talbot has also set the seal of approval on ostrich plumes by us ing the latter to emphasize the cava- Her picturesqueness of models from that house.
 Lisere, leghorn, tagal, erin lace and Milan are the straws favored. A curious combination is shown in a Milan sailor from Reboux which has the crown and upper brim made of gray worsted. The worsted is laid in strips without any attempt at a fancy design and there is a pompon of the same posed directly in front There are other hats made of straw with an angora surface. Doubtless these will be very good for early spring.
 Another strange contribution to the list is a hat made of blue taffeta com bined with a braid made of cork in it's natural color The use of patent leather braided in basket weave is not new to this season, although it is a candidate for renewed favor. Then there are the confetti hats sent to America by Jeanne Due. Models of this sort are of medium sailor shape and have the crown liberally sprinkled with tiny disks of brilliant color in confetti suggestion.

Snails Very Nutritious.

All snails are edible and nutri. tious,' says Canon Hersley in a book on British land and fresh water mol. fuses, just published. He goes on to say that even the common or garden snail, though insipid, is as nourishing as calf'sfoot jelly.
 There is large white-shelled snail called Helix pomatia that is common. ly eaten by connoisseurs in the South of England. while all over France, Italy and Spain several species ara used as food. In France there are many small farms which yield a good profit to their owners. In the French and Italian quarters of New York snails may be bought, either alive or cooked, and at most of the French restaurants they are served, "escar- gots farcis" being the most usual form of dish.
 Snails are easy to raise in large quantities. They need lime for mak- ing their shells, but they do not have to be fed as they can find their own food. which is exclusively the leaves of many plants. They are most deli cious when properly prepared and cooked, and, as Canon Hersley says, as nourishing as calf's-foot jelly.

DRESS FOR SUMMER

months brings look of ecstasy into the faces of all who sell woman's ap- parel, for along this path lie riches. sports clothes are de luxe this sea- son. No woman will content herself with one such costume; she will buy as long as her money holds out This is the reason for the smile that the dressmakers and the shopkeepers wear. Each week is taxed to it's ut most in turning out dozen or more new suggestions, and for all such bait there is not only a nibbe but a good sized bite. Women who have indulged in one tailored suit for the spring, which they intended to make serve through the autumn, are buying four suits with much paraphernalia and many accessories to match.
 The wearing of sports clothes keeps you in the atmosphere, say Newport and Bar Harbor, and the woman who has never even wielded a racket at the Casino in Newport or gone on picnic to Jordan's pond in Bar Har- bor, is, nevertheless, getting ready to adorn herself with Haunting awning skirts, tennis shoes, gay sweaters and colored stockings. All that she is asked to do is sit serenely in the sum- shine in her plumage of paroquet so that she will not make a discordant note in the junglelike riot of colors.
 Green and black checks are widely used for sports suits made of cloth, also for top coats. Women who play golf good deal are making a run for a suit with a slightly rippling skirt and a short jacket, made of bright green and black checked home spun; there is also a two-inch belt of the sturdiest black grained leather with a silver harness buckle.

transit, the animal would be tipped over into the River Espirito Santo a thousand feet below
 From Sal-si-puede onward the mules waded streams, floundered through mud to their middles and labored over fallen logs, often on a trail so narrow and so overgrown that it was neces- sary constantly to use the machete to clear the path of hanging vines and dense undergrowth. On one occasion after eight hours of scrambling and wading through mud and water, MT. Cherries mule slipped in a deep pool of thin mud and became tangled in the ! roots at the bottom, pinning the foot of the rider under it. MT. Cherrie was held up there deep in the mud until two mule drivers could return to extri- cate him.
 The advantage of having compact units of baggage was made evident in this locality The tanning of baggage tween saplings or in a washed-out gully would necessitate a halt and while the load on the mule that had caused the halt was being recinched, a dozen other mules would start ex- ploring the neighboring thickets. Sometimes the whole train would be thrown into confusion and all the pack animals would have to be rounded up and the packs readjusted.
 Animal and Bird Life.
 1uild nir,o 1o of kind to be feared by man along this route. Along the banks of the Chapare we found evidences of tapir, paca, capybara, jaguar, tiger cat, peccary, deer coati, agouti and others, but the high water, which varies sometimes forty feet between seasons, had driven game to the highlands, making hunt ing possible only at the highest points along the Mamore. Bird life was most abundant in Bolivia; collector could spend several seasons to advantage in these little-traversed routes across the South American states. When the in cidental mishaps and inconveniences are forgotten, the Bolivian Yungas be- tween Todos Santos and the Chepare may well be compared with other natural wonders. Daily the vistas of palm, fern and floral growth, with cas. cades, waterfalls and freshets, make delightful background for the abun- dant bird and other animal life.
 At the beginning of the Chapare the Yungas disappeared and our arriero now led the way down tho riyar bad or through the cane and bamboo brakes, pushing on through mud and water. Due to good chance our camps remained above water except in two instances. One night in particular the rains filled the Espirito Santo and San Antonio rivers and left us in three feet of water at daybreak

Yet a surprising number of women, otherwise well-dressed, make mistakes in glovewear For in stance, white glace kid gloves are not correct in the morning, unless one is on the way to a luncheon or some other formal affair; yet how many women one meets on a mornings shopping expedition gloved in formal white?

Animal head scarfs are among the novelties Of the season. They have recently come over from Paris and promise to be much used by women needing a light wrap across the shoul- ders or on the head. while travelling.
 In making these scarfs animals heads are cut from figured silk, ere tonne, chintz or other material and sewed neatly by hand to a piece of georgette crepe, chiffon, crepe de chine or other soft silk, two yards long and twenty-seven inches wide, in groups. In some cases the animals heads are outlined by pencil on a

TRADING STAMPS
HELD TO BE LEGAL
Supreme Court Finds Washington and
Florida Statutes to Be Con
stitutional

WASHINGTON, March (. - The ST.
preme court yesterday held constitu-
tional the Washington and Florida
trading stamp laws
The attack on the laws contended
that the statutes were an uneonstitu-
tional discrimination against a legiti
mate method Of advertising and within
the protection for freedom of contract
contained in the federal constitution.
The court, however, held it was for the
legislatures to pass on the public policy
involved in the questions and to adopt
such regulations thereof as they might
choose. The court Furthermore held
that the business was not within the in
terstate commerce protection of the
constitution.
The supreme court never has passed
on the question before, but some state
courts have held coupon regulation laws
unconstitutional
Premium advertising has been legal,
however, in Alabama, California, Col
orado, Georgia, Maryland, Nebraska,
Missouri, Illinois, Rhode Island and
