short brown hairs in addition to the
long ones.
The full-grown larva changes to a
pupa within cocoon which 1t pre-.
viously makes with silk and leaves.
These cocoons may be in groups or
singly in some secluded spots or at
the tips of branches of trees on
which they have fed. The cocoon is
so loosely made that the pupa may be
seen through it.
The moths of both sexes are pure
white with the exception of the abdo-
men, which is dark brown. The tip
of the abdomen of both sexes, more
pronounced in the female, bears a
small tuft of brown hairs, from which
the insect gets its name. The female
moth has an expanse of about one and
one-half inches while the male Is
somewhat smaller. The moths are
strong fliers and are readily attracted
to lights.
In addition to the severe injury that
this pest will do to fruit. shade and
forest trees, and the consequent cost
of fighting 1t, there Is another feature
connected with it's presence that is
very troublesome, If not alarming,
that is, danger to the health of
people.
The larva or caterpillar bears tiny
hairs which are barbed and when the
insect molts these hairs are shed
with the skin. Upon drying, these
skins and hairs float about In the air
and are source of constant trouble
to persons living in an infested dis
trlct. When the caterpillars' skins, or
even loose hairs, come in contact with
the skin they cause severe irrita-
ton. A large part of the popular
feeling in New England that the
brown.tail moth must be exterminated
is due quite as much to the preva-
lence and annoyance of this rash as
to the loss of vegetation from the
work of the caterpillar.
| With this pest undoubtedly the
easiest and practically the only effec-
tive means of artificial control where
established is by cutting off the over.
wintering nests during the late fall,
winter or early spring and destroying
the tiny larvae within. This, of course,
can be supplemented by spraying with
an arsenical mixture, when the larvae
appear on the foliage in spring.

HARMFUL BROWN-TAIL MOTH
In Addition to Injury It Does to the
Trees It Carries Disease
Germs.

There is but one generation of the
brown-tail moth annually in New
England. The insect winters as a
tiny larva or caterpillar within a
web or nest made of silk and leaves
woven together tightly. The nests
will vary in size usually from three
to four inches in length and will con-
tain 200 or more caterpillars.
These nests are securely attached
to the tips Of trees or plants on which
the caterpillars were working before

Oriqin of WjndfaII.

What precisely is the origin of the
expression "a windfall' which Mr..
Asquith, Lord Avebury and others use,
each with an application of his own,
in speaking of budget matters? An
old encyclopedia explains that some
families of the English nobility held
their land on tenure which forbade
them to cut down trees, these being
reserved as the property of the royal
navy. But any tree which fell down
without human assistance they might
keep, so that n hurricane causing a
great "windfall' was heartily welcome.
1t seems probable, however. that the
expression was simpler in origin.
Even an apple that fell to the ground
without the trouble of picking it, and
which passerby might often annex
without feeling that he was thief,
would be lucky "windfall. London

The invitations were ON green card

SO pretty that it was some time before
the recipient realized they were sup
posed to represent jealousy.
Each guest took dainty tea cup and
saucer, the hostess providing the pot.
All were asked to bring their thimbles.
The work provided by the hostess was
variety of tea towels. Then the
hostess requested the bride-elect to
make a cup of tea as farewell to the
other spinsters. The maid brought in
a tray with the cups and saucers, each
cup bearing black cat shaped card
on which the donors name, and SEN

Ideas for Charity Bazaar.

No matter what the season the great
| organization known as Society" works
for charity. In fact, not to be identi-
fled with something of humanitarian
import Immediately stamps a person
as being decidly out of it.
Charity" is a magnet that draws
buds" bellies" and matrons together
with but one interest Young women
in touring cars stop you on the street
asking for books and magazines for a
library, while all sorts of entertain
ments engross the evenings.
All this leads up to a novel enter
tainment being planned for "shut-ins"
Of all ages. It is to be an afternoon
affair on the lawn, the huge porches
being utilized as workshops.
There are a number of committees
with competent chairmen. There is
one on Amusement for children" one
for elderly people," one on food deli
cacies." AS near as can Judge, it is
. be a most fascinating affair.
Maids from Japan will serve tea,

will receive the jellies, jams, etc., and
the children's committee, all in cos
tune from Mother Goose, will receive
for the poor "shut-in" boys and girls.
One group of young girls has pre-.
pared quantities Of surprise nuts,
made by inserting some tiny object
like new penny, bonbon, wee doll,
tiny thimble, roll of bright baby rib
bon, or raisin between English wal
nut shells; the meats extracted were
turned over to the homemade candy"
committee. The nurses will find these
nuts invaluable as rewards of merit.
For elderly "shut-ins," there are to
be boxes of comfort" powders, sug-
gestive notices, pencils, pads of pa
pers, sewing outfits, good short
stories, etc.
Scrap book fans are capital idea,
too, made by pasting bright sayings,
Jokes, little poems, anecdotes, etc., on
both sides of fan. 1t is light to hold,
and serves a double purpose, giving
comfort by it's breeze and amusement
by reading the specially collected say
ings.
There is also committee to collect
jars, bowls and vases, as nurses say
the problem of finding receptacles for
flowers is often a perplexing one. An
up-to-date committee is the one COL
lecting puzzles, and why wouldn't the
crippled "shut-ins" love these capti-
waiting pastimes just as much as the
sturdy youngsters I saw yesterday
deeply absorbed in putting dog" puz-
zles together.
I wish I had gotten all these ideas
sooner. They are all of practical use
and there is always perfect epidemic
of bazars just before Christmas
prepare now.

The next instant he lay at Phridgia's
feet, sent there by well-directed blow
from Georges fist.
Phridgia had no clear notion of what

who had insulted her received a thor

he was helped on his way by several
well-planted kicks. Through it all the
man she had thought such hero made
rot single attempt to defend himself,
but begged repeatedly for mercy. AS
he kicked him George gave him this
advice:

he turned his back and said softly:

he kissed the lips Philip Darlington

Unfortunately, just at this critical
time George was away. and her uncle,
with whom she lived, never noticed

into the woods to meet the fascinating

Senator Aldrich is credited with
two purposes In connection with the

OF which he is the father. and also
the executive. In the first place he
wants currency legislation, because
he sincerely believes the country
needs it, He considers the present
system unsatisfactory and Ill adapt
