THE TENT CATERPILLAR.
 HOW TO COMBAT TIT.

The beauty of our roadsides is being marred by the rapidly growing tents of the tent caterpillar s-nd by the in creasing amount of defoliation. This has happened each spring for the last few years as this insect has been unusually abundant. Judging from its past history we may expect it to de- few years. Every one knows of the healthy appetite of this pest and so it is not very hard to believe that the caterpillar increases in weight about 200 times from the moment it hatch es until it is full grown A great amount of food i5 needed to produce this immense inchrease and as much of the feeding is done when the leaves are small or even while the buds are just breaking open, it is not strange that so many branches and even trees are defo1iated.
 The tent caterpillar can be control1- ed in the orchard by t-ie usual spray ing practices. The tents can be re- moved either by the hand or by a brush or broom fastened to~the end of a pole. This should be done only when one is sure that the caterpillars are inside the tent. As soon as col lected they should be burned De- torch is dangerous as trees are easily injured by burning.

Batiste and Pompadour Silk.

The skirt is made with pointed tr1uic. bound with a deep fold of satin. This trimming also forms the belt and out lines the batiste and all-over lace col lars oa the waist
 Because dfaped skirts are so much in demand this season, the home dress maker will find herself compelled to at- tempt one. This model is both stylish and simple to make. In medium size the costume requires 3 yards 36-incb and yards 44-inch material
 The wider material or the fenrad organdy, is used for the tunic, and a study of the cutting guide will show that 1t is best to lay the tunic sections on a lengthWise fold of the orgnpdv The piecings may be cut from the sell wage, being placed on a Iengthvisa thread.
 The foundation has the front and back gores arranged on the lengthwise fold of material the same as the skirt with the piecings for the gores cut from a selvage of the batiste. There are also many good looking dresses in combinations of cotton cre,e and taffeta. Pongee and crepe de chine go we'll together, too. In fact, there are many unusual ways of combining mate rials of widely contras sting design and texture When in doubt seek some of the models exploited in the smart shops. then copy them in materials as nearly like the original as possible.
 One is not apt to go astray if the fashionable shades or blue and pink are selected. These combine we'll with white or natural color, and a touch of black always improves an unhappy combina- ton.
 For the woman who cIings to black and white effects, despite the changing modes, this design should make an ire sistible appeal
