Dresses That Look Well by Night.

A dress that looks well by night is of white
net fecked all over with small sequns of gold
or silver. a white dress trimmed with white
chrysanthemums is very pretty. The flow
erS are laid on diagonally from the left side
of the waist to the edge of the skirt. An
other pretty effect is gained By trimming
white dress with pink rose petals. A dress
seen lately was of pale pink striped gauze,
accordion plated in front and draped over a
petticoat of the same shade The gauze was
caught up lightly on one side and finished of
with fringe of convolvul The pink satin
bodice draped with gauze was trimmed with
accordion plated ribbon, and one of the
sleeves was OF convolvuli and narrow green
ribbon to represent grass. The sleeves seem
generally 20 be made odd, and in some of the
more expensive dresses one half of the bodice
is Of one material and the other half of an
other. Large quantities of baby ribbon are
still used for trimming ball gowns For in

A New Enemy of the Elm.

In the sketch here presented is illustrated
what Mr.. l.. o. Howard calls "a newly i'm
ported elm insect" This new pest belongs
TO the Coccid insect tribe, and has been
introduced from Europe on European elms.
and WAS found last season in several places in
New York state, and also about Boston and
il Washington.
The accompanying illustration, reproduc-
ton from Insect Life viii be of assistance in
recognizing the pest, and will give an idea os
its appearance about the middle or last of
June, which is a season when the coccids may
be most readily detected. Trees that are
much infested with these insects make their
presence known at distance of several rods
by peculiar sweet though somewhat pun
gent odor

No systematic experiments with insect
cides have rs vet been tried, but an appiica-
tlon In June Of whale oil soap aud kerosene
mace pretty strong and applied with a stiff
brush, appeared to xiii all that were thor
oughly washed. but some on the sInal.
branches escaped, so that enough were left 70
thickly colonies the tree again within a year
or two. Thoroughly spraying the trees with
kerosene emulsion, at n season when the in
sectS are active and tender, might lead 10
more satisfactory results, but the chances are
that some would escape. 1t has been noticed
that few a. the insects sometimes t.llain a.
the leaves until they fail in the autumn. and
in this way they could be carried from one
tree TO another. When active they may oaSi-
ly be carried to widely separated localities
upon the feet OF birds
