Seeing from his violent demeanour that he was English, they gave him a ticket for the furthest station on the way thither that the train reached.

Okay, now I can see this was written by an Irishman

Animal of the Day!

Chapin’s Free-tailed Bat (Chaerephon chapini)

(Photo by Merlin Tuttle)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Central and Southern Africa

Size (Weight/Length)- 10 g; 12 cm

Diet- Insects

Cool Facts- While little is known about the Chapin’s free-tailed bat, these little dudes are rocking that punk hairstyle. As males get closer to breeding age, they begin to grow elongated fur on their forehead. The crest helps to spread their scent into the surrounding air to attract females. Females do sport a smaller mohawk but scientists are unsure of its purpose. While hunting, the Chapin’s free-tailed bat uses short bursts of echolocation to locate flying beetles and moths, of which are snatched out of the air mid-flight. These bats live in small groups to raise their young but hunt solo.

Rating- 11/10 (Crazy hair and looking for love.)

La Mode illustrée, no. 32, 12 août 1900, Paris. Toilette de Mlle Louise Piret, rue Richer, 43. Ville de Paris / Bibliothèque Forney

Description de la gravure coloriée:

Cette toilette en voile vert amande est garnie de guipure crème et de ruban de velours noir. La jupe à petite traîne, posée librement sur un transparent en taffetas et faite avec des plis couchés, est cerclée à mi-hauteur d'une guipure remontant par derrière pour se terminer sous le pli creux.

Le boléro court, agrémenté de motifs de guipure, est bordé d'une dentelle surmontée d'un large ruban de velours noir; sur le devant, le velours passé sous la dentelle, barre le plastron fait en taffetas blanc, recouvert de mousseline de soie blanche. Le col droit, exécuté en taffetas blanc recouvert de guipure, forme une pointe devant et ferme derrière. Ceinture haute en dentelle drapée sur transparent de taffetas blanc. Les manches garnies de guipure, sont terminées par des bouillonnes en mousseline de soie, ornés de rubans de velours, figurant des manches de dessous dont le contour inférieur est bordé d'un volant en mousseline plissée.

Capeline en paille de crin blanche, garnie de ruban de velours noir et d'une guirlande de chrysanthèmes nuancés.

Ombrelle en soie blanche, ornée de nœuds Louis XV.

—

This dress in almond green voile is trimmed with cream guipure and black velvet ribbon. The skirt with a small train, loosely placed on a transparent taffeta and made with lying pleats, is surrounded at mid-height by a guipure going up from behind to end under the box pleat.

The short bolero, embellished with guipure patterns, is edged with lace topped with a wide black velvet ribbon; on the front, the velvet passed under the lace, bars the plastron made of white taffeta, covered with white silk muslin. The straight collar, executed in white taffeta covered with guipure, forms a point in front and closes behind. High belt in lace draped over transparent white taffeta. The sleeves, trimmed with guipure, are finished with bubbles in silk muslin, adorned with velvet ribbons, appearing on the sleeves below, the lower contour of which is edged with a pleated muslin ruffle.

Floppy hat in white horsehair straw, trimmed with black velvet ribbon and a garland of nuanced chrysanthemums.

Parasol in white silk, adorned with Louis XV bows.
