Doubtless you have observed that
the apples on some Of your trees were
dropping OF. and at the towering end
there were little patches OF brown
dust
The dropping Of the apples was
caused by the codling-moth, and the
patches of brown dust were the void
ings OF the worm as 1t bored its way
into the fruit
The codling moth spends the winter
as a tiny worm, securely wrapped up
In an overcoat of silk, In barrels. boxes
and under the bark of trees. and in
the warm days of spring they come
out transformed as moths. These
moths nate quickly and the females
at once begin to lay their eggs on the
smooth surface of the apple trees.
They never make a mistake as to
the location OF their eggs. but always
lay them upon those leaves nearest to
the fruit The eggs are about as big
as a pinhead: look like little specks
of milk. Sometimes they are SO tiny
that they can hardly be discovered.
After three or four days they turn
reddish. and at the end OF a week the
tiny black head of a worm appears.
The eggs hatch in about seven days
generally when the apples are about
one-half inch in diameter.
As soon as the worm comes from
the egg 1t launches lightly on the
leaves and then enters the apple. The
worms first Matched generally enter
the fruit at the calyx or towering end.
The worms bore their way into the
apples until they reach the seed. and
sometimes they destroy AMIDST the en-
tire core.
In about two weeks, after having
effectually damaged the apple, they
crawl out. wrap themselves In new
overcoats. where they are transformed
az papae. Two weeks later the little
moths emerge and lay their eggs.
which in turn hatch out another set
of worms ana thus the second genera

year from the ravages of this single

EVENING gown IN
BLACK AND White
Long Separate TUNiC Gives
Good Long Lines

New York, Oct. 12.-Ono very ele-
CANT evening frock shows the value of
long lines in the designing Of a most
becoming gown, which might be adapl-
ed to the requirements Of almost any
type Of figure, including many which
might prove very difficult to suit, say
With short-waistod frocks OF the En-
pire or Directoire style.
This gown also displays the 1ayorite
arrangement of a long separate tunic
continued in the form of a train, and
worn over an underskirt, which is
made in another fabric altogether, and
which is also complete in itself
In this particular instance the under
robe is OF white satin, very elaborate
ly and closely embroidered with jet
and fine steel. The design Of this en-
broidery is arranged to form a long
narrow panel down the center of the
front, crossed at intervals by chains
of small jet beads, each chain finish
ed with d tasseI composed of still
smaller beads in jet and steel Over
this embroidered satin skirt a long
and fairly full tunic is worn, carried
out in very fine black mousseline de
sole, and arranged with cascaded
fronts, which add greatly to it's pic
turesque appearance.
Coming from the centre of the waist
at the back, and furnishing again those
long lines which are so becoming,
there are two narrow sash ends II
white satin ribbon, covered with jet
and steel embroideries, and weighted
with tassels in jet and steel arranged
to match those which appear on the
front of the underskirt. The waist is
cleverly outlined with folds of black
satin, which are brought down to a
long point in front, where they are
darwin through jetted slides.
The arrangement of the bodice, is
also exceedingly becoming. The Shout
ders are draped with a deep cape
collar of black mousseline de sole
finely embroidered in jet, and finished
with tassels in jet and STEEL while the
decolletage is outlined with a trim
ming of diamante embroidery worked
in a series of ovals, and resting on
few soft folds of black chiffon. In
the centre of the front there is bow
of black velvet, decorated with dia-
mantle embroidery, and arranged above
full jabot of fine real lace.
