This is a very new bit of millinery
from Paris, which is different ver-
sion of the high hat frog, the one we
know. II 10 all white, and the feath-
ers rise to an amazing height
stance, the new Shantung with the
bold, crudely-colored Egyptian figures
ON it, and also that new weave Of
georgette crepe that the specialists
are putting out, which has its white
surface covered with quantities Of
small, flying birds in the Chinese de-
sign, all brilliantly colOred; both these
fabrics would make gowns appear
fragmentary and nfinished-sketch
as it were-if they did not have a
frame of black, dark blue or dull red
at all the edges to hold the design to-
gether.
Flying birds that have gone through
all the art of China, and quivering but
terflies flying in flocks. have been TAX
en- up by the designers in different
ways. They are printed on the sur
face in a remarkable manner, in lines,
in circles, and again as fragmentary
bits Of color, irregularly placed.
Even though the house Of Callot uses
materials with quivering butterflies in
blue, black and yellow floating over
the surface. such a material is not for
every woman. One must have many
gowns in the wardrobe to take posses

putting money into these expensive
fabrics, it is we'll to be quite sure that

Georeette Continues to Hold First
Place in the Favor of the FASH
ionably Dressed.

There seems to be no diminution in
the favor accorded to the thinner ma
terials for house dresses, among which
georgette still holds first place. And
this deservedly, since it can be oh
tanned In a really big range Of colors,
is practically uncrushable and has a
far longer life than either the chiffOns
or ninons that are it's nearest rivals.
1t lends itself also to alliances with
almost any other make Of material
save these two, and is as successful
when trimmed with fur as when Orna-
mented by the most delicate Of hand
embrOideries.
Any remnants to be picked up,
therefore, Of this nature should quick
ly prove their merits, especially as
there is some possibility that the
tunic beloved OF yoro will shortly re-
assert itself. 1t is as yet too early in

Partisan Designers of Recent
Models Have introduced a
Novel Feature.
EFFECT IS THAT OF FRAME
Designs Seen So Far Have Been
charmingIy Effective-Many Ways
In Which II Can Be Arranged
to Get Best Results
BIouses Without Belts.

New YOrk.-An actually new fea-
ture of fashion which the materials
reflect, or possibly instigate, Is the
use of a turned-up hem, called a cun
hem, at the bottom of skirts, made OF
brilliant cOlOrs or plain fabrics, with
an Egyptian or Aztec design printed
on them. There are many kinds Of
materials for these borders, and a
woman can frame herself in, as 1t
were, by bordering her skirt, cuffs,
collar and waistline.
All artists know the value Of a
frame. They realize that any arrange
ment of lines and cOlors needs strong
outline around it to cooperate its
parts into a pleasing whole, and 1t Is
the artists who have constantly i'm
pressed upon women that their cos
tunes need some one strong note 60
ing around the figure. At last comes
the border, to do this very thing. You
yourself know the difference between
an unframed and framed picture.
You know what striking character is
given to a small design of any kind by
taking a bit of dark paper or a cray
on and putting line around It,.
Now. exactly this thing is being
done in fashion. A woman will be
framed in with sharp line of some
dark or brilliant color. 1t need not
be broad. A slender line does the
work In an effective way. On Shan
tung, tussor, jersey silk and muslins,
there will be sharp, distinct frame
made through a border of the same or
another material in marked cOlOring.
Where 1t Is Most Effective.
1t is more important to put this
striking frame around q gown which
has designs on it, than around one
made Of plain fabric. Take. for in.
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1917-03-16

will continue to study 1t in the hope
Of developing control measures.
What the Insect ls.
The insect. known to science as Las
peyresia mOlesta, is believed to have
been introduced from Japan. So far as
the departments entomologists know,
it has not been found in America other
than in the District of Columbia and
in the adjoining territory in Maryland
and Virginia. The specialists are de-
sirous Of knowing If the insect has at
tackled peach, plum, or cherry trees
elsewhere in the United States.
The presence of the insect can best
be determined in most cases by the ma
ture Of its injury to peach trees. 1t
bores into practically every tender
twig and causes new shoots to push
out from lateral buds. These are at
tackled in turn, the abnormal stimula-
ton of lateral growth producing a
much branched and bushy plant. A CO.
piOus flow of gum from the twig ends
often follows the attack of the cater
pillars.
Injury to Fruit.
In attacking fruit the young cater
pillars generally eat through the skin
at or near the point Of attachment of
the fruit stem. The larva, as it grows.
makes its way to the pit, where II
feeds on the flesh, which soon becomes
much discolored and more or less
Shiny. Larvae entering at the side of
the fruit are more likely to eat out
pockets or cavities in the flesh.
The full-grown caterpillar spins a
whitish silk cocoon in which to pupate.
Moths emerge In the spring for egg
laying by the time the shoots are well
out.
The bureau Of entomology. United
States department Of agriculture. es-
pecially requests owners Of peach OF
other fruit trees to report the presence
Of this new pest in their orchards
Specimens Of twigs may be mailed
wrapped in paper or, preferably. In
| suitable boy.
