AN INSECT ORCHESTRA.
In the Night Time, When Birds Cease

In the Night Time, When Birds Cease
Singing, This usic is Heard
No man goes out in the autumn and
listens to the wee, tiny voices, and the
small, Whlrrlng wings that sing in
many keys, and regards it as a melan-
choly sound. 1t is eminently cheerful
and happy, as are most sounds from
animate nature. Even the hum of the
beetle and moth and other non singing
insects is musical and pleasing.
After the birds have laid aside their
melOdious pipes and flutes it would
seem as though nature had appointed
the crickets and locusts and grassh0p-
pers to take up their Instruments.
These are cheIf among the singing in
sects, and the natural leaders of mead
oW- grass concerts.
Each species of insect has peculiar
meditation Of his notes. The common
green grasshOpper, that during the
months of August and September ii Is
the whole atmosphere with its song,
abides chiefly in the lowland meadows
which are covered with the native
grasses. This graSshOpper modulates
its notes to several chirps in rapid sue
cesslon, followed by a loud spinning
sound, that seems to be the conclusion
of the strain. These notes are Contin-
ued necessarily from the time when
the sun is high enough to have dried
the grass until deWfall in the evening.

Smart Hats Are Tilted.

Womankind no longer asks as my
hat on straight" Ii she does she
belongs to the old-fashioned out-of-
date class.
The jokemaker has been robbed
again of one of his stock and pet
themes. The new hat is responsible
for it. The new hat is not to be set
on straight. 1t must tilt, and quite
decidedly, to one side. It is quite
rakish-yes, but fashionable.
Men have not yet gotten used to
this fashion. In fact, it makes them
quite uncomfortable to see it. be-
lieving as they do that the tilted hat
must be the result of accident, for
have not women, since the world be-
gan-or as far back as history goes
been anxious to have their hats on
straight? Henceforth let no man
iniorm his women folks that their
hats are not on straight, for if he
does he will straightway proclaim
his ignorance + the latest notion of
Dame Fashion.
1t is interesting to note what
changes in faces the tilted hat
works. The ordinarily sober-ap-
pearing matron looks at once older
but frivolous-a combination by no
means charming-and an innocent
face is often made to look coquet-
fish, while the really coquettish
face that neets subduing appears
more vivacious than ever. And yet
the hat must tilt to be hat of any
pretensiOns at all.

Renovating Faded Garments.

A woman of resources has dis
covered new and practically sure
way of renOvating and restoring to
their former appearance spotted,
soiled, or faded cloth or serge
gowns.
Pick about 20 ivy leaves, young,
green ones by choice, wash them
carefully and place them in a jug or
basin. Add about pint of boiling
water, cover up the basin or Jug and
leave to soak for two or three hours,
when 1T will be ready for use. Mean
while the garment must be thor
oughly brushed inside and out and
all untidy braid or lining removed
from the bottom. When ready,
spread it on the table and carefully
sponge with the ivy water. 1t must
then be hung out to dry, when it will
be found to have recovered its former
color and to look quite like new.
Black silk may be cleaned in the
same manner, but it needs more
care. III the silk is in breadths, it
must be lightly sponged and then
tightly rolled over a cloth wound
round roller and left to dry.
Black lace may also be renovated
when soiIed or brown with age by
sponging with ivy wafer and then
rolling over cloth wound round a
roller. 1t should no: be ironed.
