FLAPPERS LOOK LIKE
SERPENTS IN LATEST
Fadlion Decrees “Snake Skin" Dress
es for Fall and Winter.
Chicago, Ill.—Ever since the ser
pent tempted Mother Eve her daugh
ters have had dealings with snakes,
the parlor variety and others. Now
that effeminity has progressed in the
stage where women are wearing
“snake skin” dresses and fashion ex
perts say these garments will be
generally worn by next fall.
They are snug garments and are
designed to make the flappers look
like rattlers. Several of these dress
es were on display recently at the
annual exposition of midwest coat
and dress manufacturers, and they
were demonstated by slender, lissome
young flappers.
It was explained that the “snake
skin” was only such in appearance
and name. The material included
silks, cottons and gossamer white
velvets, which, with spangles and
patches of various colors, is made up
to resemble in minute detail an ac
tual snake skin. Genuine hides of
water moccasins, it was said, would
be too heavy for flapper shoulders,
not to mention their pocketbooks.
Among the models displayed were
imitations of pythons, rattlers, gar
ter snakes and the beautiful blue
king-snake. One of the delegates
announced that skirts will remain
short and scant and the materials
will be very light. One of the dress
es shown weighed but four ounces.
“The girls want to look snaky,”
explained one of the arbiters, “and
I’m sure they will take enthusiastic
ally to the snake skin mode.”

occurred. On an incline of smooth,
hard road, the car swerved toward an
embankment, and Cephus, trying to
get it under control, swung it in
such away that the car turned over
on tdp and then back on all four
wheels. Cephus was hurled through
the top and about twenty-five yards
down the road, where he was found
unconscious.
The girls received several cuts
from broken glass, but Barber sus
tained only slight bruises. The girls
were brought back to Donalsonville
by a passing motorist, and the Robin
son youth was rushed to the hospital
in Bainbridge. He never regained
consciousness.
