Tarantula Bite Not Fatal.

Won Fuerth considers that the bite
of the historically famous Italian
tarantula is able to cause no more
than local inflammation, while the
toxicologist Robert was unable to dis
cover profoundly poisonous properties
In the supposedly more dangerous
Russian tarantula, Eurypelma stein
dachneri, a species reaching the for
midable looking adult size of more
than two inches in length. 1t has been
exonerated from the reputation long
attaching to it.
Baerg of the University of Arkansas
has subjected both animals and man
to attack by the fangs of active taran-
tulas. Although the accounts do not
give the impression that such en-
counters are painless performances,
they are put in the category of bee
sting in severity rather than In class
of more menacing toxins. Even bees
may produce fatalities; yet they are
rarely. .lassed among the greater
dangers to life.-Journal of American
Medicine.

Silky Strands Aid Wien Access

Bits Of Beautiful Woven Color Offer
Inspiration to Designers Of
Mtiady's Outfit.


With all the plain frocks worn now,
there Is opportunity to add little points
Of decoration here and there accord
ing to ones own taste. And Il Is In
this way, notes a fashion writer In the
New York Times, that costumes grow
to be distinctive. A dress cannot al
ways contain every element that makes
it individually becoming. but it can be
background.
There is one big danger about apply
ing extra accessories. That is that
they can be so easily overdone. II
they are used at all. there Is the re-
sponsibility to do the deed well, or else
one steps into the class of gingerbread
adornment.
Ribbons are enjoying the favor and
attention of women who have not
looked their way for many long year,
probably because the silky strands are
so much better looking. They seem to
have been designed with more care and
attention to the purposes for which
they may possibly be used. Ribbons
are, Of course, as old as life itself In
the dress Of women, but it did seem
for time as though there was prac-
| tically nothing new under the sun In
this line. When new ribbons did ap-
pear there seemed nothing pertinent
| to be done with them. But now the
eye Of any designer, active or In
embryo, thrills to a piece of the newer
| ribbons because they see what smart
and interesting fashions can be created
with a bit of beautifully woven coloi
for an inspiration.

pensive, handmade garment within the

NOTES OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

Black lace over silver cloth or over
old gold metallic cloth promises to be
one of the foremost dancing types for
winter.
Gray velvet trimmed in gray monkey
fur is a combination found in many of
the expensive afternoon gowns for
fall. Fur is to be extensively on
street gowns as well as on afternoon
and evening gowns.
All the new cloths and coat ma
terials are extremely light in weight.
Zenana remains one of the favorite
materials for early autumn and Is
made into cloaks lined with squirrel
and mole in exactly matching shades.
The short woman and the young girl
will find that the long skirts are not
suitable to them as they tend to make
them appear squatty. By wearing the
medium length skirt and using long
panels or drapes, they can achieve the
long silhouette without appearing gro
tesQue.
Black, crow blue and brown are the
shades used for suits and coat frocks
