THE "HoLp.uPp NO MORE,
"Hands on the Skirt" IL Now the Mod
istes' Warning.

hhhus OH inc shirt' Is Now the MOD
istes' Warning.
The modiste Is now busily Impress
ing upon her fair patroness the lesson
that Is found rather difficult of learn
ing. You must wear your fine gown
and Its under sheath of fine cnmbric
and embroidery exactly as 1t is put on.
In n word, it is forbidden to hold up
the dainty mass of finery as you cross
the pavement TO enter your carriage
or the graveled walk in front of the
porch.
The line is sharply drawn between
the street dress cut walking length"
just escaping the ground and never
lying upon it, and the carefully
planned trailing skirt, which is meant
for another occasion.
The "importer" or modiste who
plans the costume declares it will be
the ruin of your gown if you attempt
to hold 1t up in fit of economy. lest
the creation should be damaged. They
say If you wear the dress at all you
must wear 1t as 1t is and leave it
alone. let the consequences be what
they will. The "set" of the skirt will
be ruined if you attempt to raise It at
the sides. No woman likes to be told
that her clothes are not set on straight,
nor can she be happy if she imaglnes
they look as If they were pitchforked
upon her.
\ trailing skirt is sometimes held
in place by an inside arrangement of
harness-like straps, which prevent the
fulness from coming around to the
front, where it is not desired These
straps become pulled out of place and
unduly stretched II the train is held
up at the side If much stretched the
India rubber bands lose their elias
tlcity. The webbing gives way little,
and strains the seam at the side or
back IF the skirt to which it is at
tached. The skirt shows signs of the
tugglng and constant lifting and loses
its freshness, which it is impossible
to obtain again.
1t is better to let the skirt hang
down naturally, and leave e 10 your
maid to brush or repair the hem
should 1t be required. Wear a walk
ing dress on dusty street pavements,
and reserve your trailing gown for
occasions when you can safely wear
1t. But when once it is ON respect
the graceful arrangement of draper
les and let them fall as they are
meant to. 1t is piece of "penny-wise
pound-foolish" conduct to wear n
handsome trailing gown and pull 1t
up and down as you walk, crushing
it by gathering the folds in your hand
There is nothing more graceful than
trailing gown in its proper sphere,
in the reception room or dining hail.
ON the hotel piazza or walking across
the smoothly clipped green turf OF n
well-trimmed lawn.
The slender girl looks we'll with a
trailing skirt, and the short and plump
sister gains added dignity and height
from wearing a trained skirt. 1t is
fashionable to be tall nowadays, so we
must borrow the effect of added inches
If we cannot come by them naturally.

bug"
Although usually preferring squash
vines this insect is not infrequently
found attacking melon and pumpkin
vines. The bugs puncture the tissue
with their stout beaIs, inject n drop
of poisonous saliva and suck the sap.
The poison causes the tissue in the vi
cinity of the puncture to wilt and
finally die. thus causing much more
harm than the mere loss of sap. Near
ly all parts of the plant are liable to
attack. Even the fruit does not escape
and the bugs are frequently found, on
young vines especially. attacking the
roots just below the surface of the
ground.
In the fall the bugs leave the vines.
seek shelter under any rubbish at
hand or between the boards of barns,
sheds or other outbuildings. Here
they remain during the winter. In
the spring the survivors come forth
usually about the middle or last of
June. The females deposit their eggs
usually on the under side of the leaf,
but occasionally on the upper surface
as well, and are securely stuck TO the
leaf by Il gummy substance. They are
dull red in color. and to the unaided
eye appear smooth and shiny. In
about ten days the eggs hatch.
The young bugs resemble the par
ents in general appearance except that
their wings are not yet developed. AS
they grow older they increase in size,
shedding their skins, or moltingrfrom
time to time, and becoming more oval
and of dull ochre yellow beneath.
They feed at night as rule, coming
forth from their hiding places about
dusk and remaining on the vines dur
ing the night. During the day they
usually hide on the under side OF the
leaves.
IAN ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure" in this case especially,
for when squash bugs once get well
started In field it is almost impossl-
bic to get rid of them. Inscctidcs are,
as rule, of but little value. Poisons
would be of no use, as the insect does
not bit the tissue, but sucks the sap

Tho Countess Mnldersee.

Since Count Waldersee has been
chosen to command the German troops
in China his American wife has en-
joyed afresh the attention of the
American press. She is probably the
ablest and most influential American
woman In Europe, and as she is to
considerable extent in public life.
there is nothing out of the way in
the attention the newspapers pay to
her. But most of the current newspa-
per notices that concern her are mis-
taken in one of two eXasperating par
ticulars. Most of them say she was
the daughter of David Lea, of New
York, which is true, and that she be-
came the morganatic wife of the Prince
OF Schleswig- Holstein, who gave up
MS title to marry her. 1t is true that
she married the Prince, and that he
gave up his title to marry her but
princes do not give up their titles
when they make morganatic marriages.
and this marriage of Miss Lea TO the
Count dc Noer, who had been Prince
of Schleswig- was not NOR
ganatic, but 1t was lawful marriage
without qualification or limit. The
Count de Noer became Prince de Noer,
and his wife at his death continued
to be the Princess de Noer, After her
first husbands death she came back
to America, and spent year or more.
Several years after that she was mar
ried to Count Waldersee The preva-
lent story that she has never been
back to this country since she first
went abroad is untrue. Also the story
that her second marriage followed
somewhat speedily after the death of
her first husband.-Harper's Weekly.

Mamma In India.

At time when the greatest famine
India has known is visiting that coun-
try, it is most remarkable that mama
has been found in the Central Prov.
lnces, where the scarcity is most keen
ly felt Mr. David Hooper, of the In
dian Museum, Calcutta, has recently
called attention to this fact In March
last the strange appearance of mamma
on the stems of the bamboo was re.
ported and notices of this phenomenon
were published. The form in which
the mama occurred was that of rods

eXudc from the trees. The gum has
eXuded in some abundance, and it has
been found very palatable to the ma
tives of the nelghborhood, who hayO
consumed 1t as food, as did the Is
raelltes of old. The bamboos and
sugar-cancs are related to each other,
and perhaps it is not unnatural to eX.

from beneath. So far as has been OBJ
served, those farmers who have sue
ceeded best in combating the pest are
those who do not allow any rubbish
to accumulate on or near their squash
fields. Clean culture Is always embar-
rassing to the squash bug.
AS to remedies, it might be said that
when confined under tight covering
and exposed to bi-sulphide of carbon
squash bugs are killed by It, Young
bugs, those less than half grown, are
much more susceptible than mature
ones.
Pyretheum powder is not practical
as n remedy against the squash bug.
Although Kerosene emulsion will kill
the old bugs IL applied at strength
of one pint OF the emulsion to four
parts of water, it is not practical
remedy except in severe cases, as the
emulsion of this strength would en-
danger the plant, The emulsion may
be used with safety, however, at a
strength of one part of the emulsion
to nine parts Of water, ana at this
strength will kill the young bugs.
Bits of boards chips, squash leaves,
etc, placed underneath the vines make
good traps. They should be examined
daily and the bugs destroyed. In the
early spring pick the old bugs from
the vines and destroy them Bulletin
