Field Bugs as Toys.

The field bugs, known in America as
June bugs, have resumed their place
as toys for German children. An ex-
traordinary flood of the beetles has
sent hundreds Of Berliners into nearby
forests and fields to catch thousands
Of them and SELF them to dealers who,
In turn, retail them to fond parents
and children. The bugs sell at ten for
mark now, whereas before the war
dozen could be bought for a few
pfennigs. The dealer makes 300 per
cent profit, those engaged In catching
them declare. Farmers encourage the
catching Of the bugs as playthings for
city children, as they are destructive
to the foliage Of orchards and vine
yards. The unusually large plague of
field bugs has revived the custom of
catching them for sale for the first
time since the war. An expert "catch-
er" usually brings in about 1000 bugs
a day. They live for about ten days as
playthings.

Fashions are becoming more sophis-
ticated. The fiapper has met for
midable rival In the woman. So this
winter, writes fashion correspondent
In the New York Tribune, may see
the passing Of the fiapper type OF
dress.
All of the new styles show strong
tendency to depart from the juvenile
types so prevalent during the past few
years. They embody dignity and Inn
portance. two characteristics which OF
late years have been almost entirely
lacking In dress. ~
The long skirt and the many varia-
tions of drapery now In use have
helped to bring about these changes
The important part played by drapery
rather handicaps the amateur dress
maker. No more can she hope to be
dressed in the height Of fashion in
the simple chemise frock which she
made so easily. No she must include
in her wardrobe gowns draped on clas-
sic lines.
The ways in which drapery has
vacillated In the position that II. shall
take In regard to the dress Is some
what astonishing. 1t began by adorn'
Ing the side of the frock. After as
suming numerous other positions 1t
now elects to make the front the most
important part Of the gown.
Circular Effects Obtained.
Many think It comparatively easy
to popularize new style and that
women are waiting to welcome any
thing new and striking in dress. This
Is not so. A real change In fashions
is brought about very, very slowly. 1t
is months, sometimes year, after a
style is shown before 1t is accepted
even In limited way. Take, for In
stance, the circular skirt. Two years
ago designers put their best effects
into models with circular skirts In an
endeavor to make this fashion popu-
lar, and during the intervening time
the best creators of styles have from
time to time tried to force them. But
1t is only this autumn that we see this
type of skirt making real progress.
1t is not unusual to see skirts that
are plain and tight across the back
with circular panels in the front and
at the sides, thus making compro-
mise between the straight line and the
circular.
While daytime dresses show fan
shaped godets and front drapings,
there is strong tendency toward
really wide skirts for the evening.
Skirts are very long. Lanvin, al
ways the exponent of youth in dress,
makes her models longer than those
Of any other dressmaker In Paris. So
we may expect to see the extremely
long-skirted frock taken up by young
girts. This. always is favorable to the

THE KING OF LIARS

60 FAR as successful impostures are
~ concerned, Giuseppe Balsamo, bet
ter known by his adopted title of
Count Cagliostro' was undoubt-
edly the most remarkable man the
world has ever produced, for he not
only numbered his Victims by the thou
sands but practiced his chosen art of
lying with such consummate clever
ness that he victimlzed cardinals and
princes as well as peasants and the
various classes lying between these
categories. He was, in truth, "the
king Of liars" beside whom such mod
ern examples Of Cassie Chadwick and
Ponzi were the rapkest amateurs.
As boy, Balsamo gave early evi.
dence Of his scheming tendencies, and,
after being expelled from school, was
placed In the apothecary shop Of a
Sicilian monastery. where he set about
to master the science Of chemicals
and drugs, for which he appeared to
have a positive genius. II was while

and fed to Rome, where he succeeded
m marrying strikingly beautiful
woman and changed his name to
"Count Cagliostro."
His first venture on a large scale
was the invention Of an "elixir Of
life" Of which he sold many thousand
bottles at fabulous prices and, In order
to prove the value of his own medi-
cine, claimed to be more than 1000
years old and TO have been present at
the time of the crucifxion, which he
described with wealth of detail omit
ted from the Scriptures. At that
time there was much talk Of the
wandering Jew" and many persons
believed that Cagliostro was none
other than this personage-a belief
which the Sicilian took care to foster
whenever possible.
When the success Of the "elixir of
life" appeared to be imperiled by the
death Of a number Of persons who had
taken 1t, Cagliostro hit upon the
scheme of organizing Masonic lodges
for women, claiming that he was Of
divine origin and had received spe-
cial mission to perform this work upon
earth--a statement which naturally
endeared him to number of women
of sufficient wealth to assist him In
the accomplishment of his other
schemes, which included the making
of diamonds and precious stones and
the transmutation Of base metals into
gold.
BY virtue of his various impositions,
Cagliostro was able TO accumulate q
large amount Of money and, when he
decided to move the headquarters Of
his influence to France, 1t was a mat
ter of only few days before he be-
came the most talked of man in Paris.
1t was he who used the Cardinal de

After drifting about Europe for a

tors finally returned to Rome and was
condemned by the pope to life i'm
prisonment as dangerous foe to re-
ligion, dying In papal dungeon on
August 26, 1916. after having duped
all Europe, prince and priest and
peasant alike. But, apart from Gag
liostro's strange and almost hypnotic
influence over practically everyone
with whom he came in contact there
are a number of mysteries concerning
the man which have never been ex-
plained-including his origin and his
exceptional ability for handling all
kinds of strange chemicals. In addi-
tion, there Is the greatest mystery of
all: His power of prophecy manifest
ed upon numerous occasions, but par
ticularly when he announced that

was dying, and word reached Paris
FIVE days later that the empress had

DevIate From 6ateau NsckIine.
Designers are trying to do away
with the popular bateau neckline,
and in their endeavor have introduced
several interesting outlines for the
necks of dresses, among the most un-
usual being the one-slded effect. There
is the deep v-shaped neck cut high
at the back and extremely low In
front. This type requires a gilet or
modesty piece, as the French call 1t.

train Of the long trailing scarfs used
on hats during the past summer, the
ends CT this lace scarf fall to the
wearer's knees. This is a simple type
of hat, but extremely picturesque and
graceful.
Metal lace Is far more popular In
autumn millinery than II deserves to
be, for nothing less practical as hat
trimming could well be imagined.
Many of the high-crowned hats Of the
Second Empire period show one-sided
trimmings in the form of birds or clus-
ters Of small feathers.
Great extravaganza is apparent in
the lavish use Of fur trimmings on
this autumn's clothes. Chinchilla and
monkey head the list. Monkey In
black Is still a big leader, though
gray and sable color will be much In
demand. Narrow double fringes of
monkey set together with fancy
braid are much used as trimming.
There Is every Indication that many
short capes will be worn-that Is,
cape collars nearly large enough to
be considered wraps. 1t Is In these
pieces that the furrier shows his artis-
try In making patterns In one fur

The New Colffure.
Hairdressing has always played an
important part In the history of fash
ion. Today the coiffure and Its appen-
dages are receiving even more atten-
ton than usual. Aside from the fact
that woman's appearance Is either
made or marred by the manner In
which she dresses her hair, there was
bound to be keen reaction from the
far-reaching bobbed-hair vogue. In
deed, it would hardly seem appropri-
ate to combine the more dignified
types of dresses and their heightened
and draped lines with anything but
real dignity In haIrdressing.
In Paris at the present time the
fashion is to draw the hair back tight
ly to reveal the ears. For some time
past even the woman who was the
fortunate possessor Of beautifully
shaped ears was compelled to dress
her hair SO as to completely conceal
them.
In the winter of 1921 this mode Of
hairdressing was affected by many
smart women, particularly IN Paris,
but was not taken up very widely. nor
with much enthusiasm. There Is still
some doubt as to whether II will be
generally accepted this year because
II is undoubtedly trying fashion.
