There is a value in perfumes as q

women of refinement never overdo
this use, but conflne 1t to a delicate
fragrance that never offends, as do
gross common scents. The dainty
woman selects q special perfume and
uses this only in all her toilet articles
and it is a fad to select the fragrance
of some flower that corresponds with
the favorite color. She also has her
satchets, perfume, toilet water, pow

Desirable Insect lmmIarants.

The Australian ladybird beetle came
into California to destroy the white
scale in the late SOS, and this was
followed by the carriage of the same
species Of beetle, with equally good
results, to Portugal, to Italy, to South
Africa, and quite recently to Formosa,
in all cases destroying the same scale
insect.
Another instance was the impor.
tation from Australia Of certain par
asites Of the sugar cane leaf hopper
into Hawaii, which is said to have re.
suited in the reduction Of the num-
bers of the leaf hoppers to a negligible
quantity. A gigantic experiment Of
the same kind is now being carried on
in the importation of parasites and
natural enemies of the gypsy moth
and the brown-tail moth from all
parts of Europe and from Japan into

VIZ AsHINGTON.-Forelgn govern
w ments have had their military
and naval representatives in Wash
ington watching the experiments that
this government has been conducting
at the Washington navy yard with
the new catapult device for launching
aeroplanes. The launching machine
is the design of Capt. W. /. Cham
bers, in charge Of aviation in the
navy. It practically is a compressed
air gun that shoots the aeroplaue into
the air so that it can be launched
from warship at any time and the
catapult then stored below, out Of the
way.
Several tests OF the device have
been made, various hydro-aeroplanes
being used What was generally con-

the other day when the new aero
boat that has been built for the navy
by Glenn Curtiss was shot into the
air for successful fight with Lieut.,

Postmen Cannot Loiter When Mike Is on Duty

New Fashion.

A charming fashion recently revived
at the Paris opera consists in pinning
a couple of flowers upon the bodice
of the simply draped gowns in white
or black charmeuse. But these floral
trimmings do not adapt themselves
to the magnificent models in embroi'
dered velvets, brocaded satins and
gauzes recently launched upon the
stage, nor do they figure on beaded
creations. In the latter case the
yelled effects in spangled tulle and
lace, the draperies and the Innings
Of damask and charmeuse give the
required ornamentation to these beau

the carrier who goes with him to stop

so Mike simply walks on. So when
he arrives at the hotel he allows time
for the carrier to take the mall in and

moves on to his next stop.

Waist Pattern Help.

A waist pattern should be lifted
right side out-as It Is to be worn.
Almost everyone has some variation
in the two sides of the figure. One
shoulder will be trifie higher than
the other and the hip on the opposite
side a trife lower than its mate, re-
sulting in a slightly longer WASTED
underarm seam on that side than on
the other. Now, If you fit the waist
wrong side out, when you have
stitched the seams and put 1t on right
side out the fitting will be exactly
reversed. The high shoulder will be
in the side of the waist that was fitted
to the low shoulder.
