NEED NOT BE EXPENSIVE.
Bridesmaids Gowns Attractive j
Many Light Materials.

The bridesmaids gowns are ques-
ton that must needs be pondered long,
for every lightweight material and
every shade under the sun may be
used for them. If, however, the maids
are not rich, they should not be forced
to buy expensive gowns. One poorer
Girl must set the standard.
A fascinating gown is that of paint
ed chiffon, made plainly and trimmed
with lace. The band of satin at the
foot keeps the skirt in proper folds
and makes the dress last longer. The
hat is of leghorn, trimmed with white
chiffon and roses. 1t might, however,

The Modish Sailor.

Although the wide-spreading Merry
Widow" goes cheerily on it's way, and
will be recognized during the ensuing
months wherever the summer girl dis
ports herself at seashore and noun
tains, the medium-brimmed nautical
hat, with moderately high crown and
banded severely with corded ribbon, is
far and away the more fashionable.
This sets squarely on the head without
bandeau, and when adjusted has a
slightly oblong appearance, the side
brim seeming to be trifie more mar
row than the front and back. 1t is, of

Then the trimming of the hats with gil
gantic wings and other heavy and
abundant decorations completed the
burden which femininity seemed de-
stined to bear.
But for midsummer hats these
heavy weight affairs are really impos-
sible Not only are they most uncom-
Portable, and the wise woman knows
that in midsummer half of the charm
of ones costuming depends on produc-
ing a cool, comfortable and airy eff
feet. Headgear that is light and airy
contributes not little to this general
impression.
Lingerie, leghorn, Panama and erin
hats are those which best produce this
desired effect. Each has it's place
among the summer millinery, but the
erin hat is perhaps the most univer'
sally useful of ALL 1t is not so dis
tinctly an affair for outing and rural
occasions as either the lingerie or
Panama hat, and it is more generally
becoming than the Leghorn-1n fact,
than any of the three. Lingerie hats
are apt to be trying to the mature
woman. Panama hats are useful only
for morning wear, and even then are
rather unbecoming to the mass of
femininity because of their severity.
Leghorn hats, beautiful as they are,
are also rather UNACCEPTABLE and are
supremely becoming only to persons
for whom dropping draped hats are
suitable. The erin hat, however, is
suitable for every age and for every
occasion. 1t is also most adaptable to
individual style and can be made be-
coming to every one.
There are few more elegant ex-
amples of the milliners art than the
black erin hat which is shown. 1t is
necessary, in order to preserve the
light and airy quality of these hats,
that they should not be heavily
trimmed

EXIT THE CURLING IRON.
Girl Discovers That Thin Veil Will
Wave Hair Satisfactorily.

Curling ones hair on the iron, or
even enduring the torture of curl
papers, is folly if your locks have the
slightest tendency to wave of them
selves, according to a girl who has in
vented a new method. She does it
with a common face veil.
This is useless when nature has not
put the least kink into the tresses,
but it will do wonders when there is
any twist on which to start.
To use veil the hair is dressed in
usual fashion, but before beginning
to put in pins it should be moistened
with a soft wet brush. 1t is not to be
made wet, but damp. When the final
pin is adjusted a damp soft brush
is again patted over the hair and the
head is ready for the veil.
A thin one is used, because through
it girl can see if the waves are TAX
ing shape or push them into form. In
the middle of the veil, at one edge, a
tiny knot should be tied to give a
little fulness. This knot is placed at
the nape of the neck, the veil being
long enough to come around the head
and tie over the pompadOur. 1t is
simply brought around in this fashion
and the slightest pressure forms the
waves, always provided that the hair
IS not absolutely straight

F. M. Webster Of the United States
chronological bureau, at that time sta

this louise, reporting that the winged
females produced from one to four
young a day, while the wingless
females produced more rapidly. He
states that an image female in his in
sectary produced "37 offspring in IS
days, and at the end of this time some
of the offspring were themselves

numbers on wheat in Indiana and in
certain sections of that state the oat

found spreading abundantly through
some of the southern states, Tennes-

The green bug was reported in Eu-

which year it was described in an
Italian journal under the name OF
Aphis graminum by DR.. G. Rondani.
1t was reported then as feeding on
oats, wheat, spelt, various grasses and
corn. In 1863 it was redescribed by
Passerini and placed in Koch's genus
Toxoptera In 1884 it was reported as
infesting parts of Hungary, and re-
ferred to as one of the most destruc-
tive enemies of barley in that coun-
try. AS far as known it first occurred
in the United States in 1882. We have

In 1907 east central Texas first re-

migrants were being produced there

fetal introduction of parasites into
infested fields by the government was
without practical results, for wherever
they were introduced countless num-

genus of parasites are in our fields,
working not only upon Toxoptera,
when present, but upon some other
plant lice, notably Macrosiphum, and
in ordinary years are the principal
means of keeping these pests in
check. 1t is an encouragement to
know that young lice destined to be
winged are frequently parsitized;
hence, when the image migrant flies to
other fields, it frequently carries the
beneficial insect with it. 1t is worthy
of note also in connection with the
subjects of parasitism, that We find in
the north climatic conditions which
are directly opposed to any disastrous
outbreak of grain plant lice. In other
words, we have cold winters and warm
summers, the first factor preventing
any undue increase of lice unattended
by parasitism, and the warm sum
mers allowing of a rapid increase
of parasites before the lice have
gained much Roadway.
