Ribbon Snake.
Eutaenia Saurita.

~ N ACCOUNT of the rich black
or dark brown coat. with its
I yellow stripe extending down
~ the back, and one on either
side, this serpent has been
given tf.e name of ribbon snake.
There are two other species-the
Western ribbon snake and the South
ern ribbon snake.
This Is one Of the most slender SER
pents found in America. 1t is Of
moderate size. The scales are strongly
keeled. The effect is velvety. Under
the stripe on the side there is a
broad band that is a soft chestnut
brown color. This band covers the
first and second rows of scales, and
even extends a little distance beyond
the edges of the abdominal plates. A
pure yellowish-white covers the abb
domen.
The ribbon snake is dark headed.
There is a straight. yellow line in
front of the large eyes. The upper
lip plates are bright yellow.
When this snake is travelling, you
can see the white line-like spots on
its skin between the scales. The
snake does not grow to be very large
The average length is 2 feet inches
The tail is about 9l2 inches and the
body q inch in diameter.
This is not very abundant species
and is found in Southeastern Canada
and the United States east of the
Mississippi. The snakes have the

added. Dry thoroughly as soon

Everyday Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Temperaments.

IT IS possible to discover four types
of temperaments among your ac-
quaintances. First, you have the sus-
ceptible type. Susceptible persons are
easily recognized. You will hear them
smiling at the movies when the hero
is in distress. They do lot Of yelling
at ball games, have considerable faith
in home remedies, believe practically
everything the Gypsies say. refuse to
believe there is no Santa Claus.
Next you have the opposite type.
Instead of being susceptible, they are
suspicious. They don't believe any
thing you tell them. At the same time
they want you to believe everything
they tell you. They rarely go to the
movies, would rather play solitaire
than bridge, like to live some distance
from the highways.
In order to get the four types you
must subdivide the susceptible and the
suspicious Take the susceptible type
first Substitute the word receptive
for susceptible. Some are receptive in
an emotional sense, others in an intel
lectual sense. You then have those
who are susceptible to feelings and
those who are susceptible to ideas. In
other words you have the sympathetic
and the suggestible.
You may now subdivide the sus-
picious, using for the time being the
word critical instead of suspicious.
Some are critical about emotions,
others critical about ideas. Boil them
down and you have what are known
in everyday life as the hard-hearted
and the hard-headed.

BY JEAN NEWTON,
Element"

"OUT in that storm you could do
nothing to protect yourself: you
were at the mercy of the elements!"
That is one use Of the word "ele-
ments." Then there is the everyday
use of it to describe the essential arts
or principles of anything. From such
elements we have, of course "ele-
mental and elementary" which need
no explanation.
For the origin Of this word we go
back to the beliefs of the ancient
philosophers. About century before
the time of Aristotle, Empedocles had
conceived the universe as a composite
Of four subStances-fire, air, earth and
water. Everything was regarded as
some combination of these component
parts. In the way that words are made
up Of simple letters, these substances
were given Greek name meaning
letters of the alphabet" which trans
lated into Latin, produce "elementa"

for the time being. Several instances
have been related Of the snake win
ming in the end.
There is a small family raised by
the ribbon snake in comparison with
the majority Of species of this genus.
A dozen babies are about the average
number.
When you are trying to identify
your snake, you must take into con-
sideration its stoutness, size and
length of head and tail; where the
stripes are and how many: character
of spots and between what stripes
and the locality in which you saw it.
Remember that snakes are, as a rule.
harmless, and are fine mousers as we'll
as frog and toad catchers; that their
one desire in life is to put as much
distance between you as they can.

A charming example OF what has
been going on in the print world is
shown in the utterly lovely frock

Is a cotton chiffon voile with tex
! ture so exquisitely fine and colors so

tails, that give an appearance OF con-
trast where actually none exists. In
soft, dressy fabrics. this idea is very
new. The Paris couturierS are all
playing tricks with materials. and the
results are so mysterious that 1t is
practically impossible to copy their
designs literally.
The airy lightness of this model
gives it a semi-formal appearance
that qualities it for ever so many gay
occasions. The same design. made
in Chantilly all-over lace, and worn
over rustling taffeta, is little short OF
devastating for very special Summer
