One day. down in the heart of Mexi-

bug, his host uttered warnings in O.
language conglomorate, embracing
three different tongues. "Guardezi
Guardez! Eat animalito sting like ze

ing came too late as DR.. Howard had
already picked UP the bug and become
victim to it's sting.
On another occasion, the Governor
Of Oaxaca, Mexico. was very insistent
about sending troop OF armed SOL

protested, saying that he had no need
for the services of the soldiers.

In the course of his chronological
explorations, DR.. Howard once visited
the city of Sebastobol, Crimea. AS he
was eating his dinner. a native, car

Assam Silk.

A CURIOUS sort of silk-produciuS
caterpillar was not long ago in
troduced to the world. In Assam,
where the natives call IL "eri." II has
been used for silk spinning for cen
turtles; but, strange TO say. its employ
ment for the purpose has been re-
stricted almost exclusively to that re-
gion. The British governments in
India, however. has taken steps to ex-
tend the utilization of this caterpillar,
with view to producing it's silk on
a large scale.
One Of It's advantages Is that its
cocoons are not sealed, like those OF
the ordinary silkworm. The larva
leaves one end of it's cocoon closed
only with conversias loops of silk.
This renders 1t unnecessary to kin
the insect when its silk Is used.

PRONUNCIATION Of efficient control
measures are concerned.
DURING the last summer, DR.. How
~ ard represented the United
States Department of Agriculture at
tho International congress OF egricul-
ture at Paris. France. He served as
one OF the vice presidents OF that ia
nous gathering and also was honor
ary president OF the international
conference of phyto-pathologists and
economic entomologists which con-
vened at Wageningen, Holland. He
also attended an international meet
ing at Madrid devoted to the investi-
cation and study Of the olive fly.
During these foreign travels. DR..
Howard consulted with eminent Eu-
ropean specialists and investigated
the possibilities Of importing large
quantities OF European parasites
which will destroy certain plant pests
that now prey on American agricul-
ture.
Uncle Sam Is already performing
highly efficient service in introducing
insect parasites which battle and
the United States. DR.. Howard be-
lieves that one of the greatest poten-
tial achievements of national en-
tomological science will be to expand
and extend this work. This battle

but sure. Where immediate control
relief is essential, sprays and other
methods OF determination necessarily

resist these attacks may be ultimate

cheek and disappeared on the arm OF
an usher.
The organ sent forth the trium-
phant strains of the wedding march
from "Iohengrin." and Evelyn moved
forward.
Tulle shot with crystal, like a veil
OF mist, enveloped her. Her supple
form fioated in the midst Of 1t like
nothing tangible or earthly. A long
sigh. a breath Of disbelief, swep,
over those assembled.
"Undine!' murmured one.

IL I'd want to marry a shadow"
Up the aisle on her brothers arm
with eyes downcast, Evelyn glided
thrilling, conscious OF the stir she
was creating, OF the stir she would
always create now that she had come
into her own!
The twelve ushers separated, six on
either side Of the aisle. Evelyn
passed between them.

Samuel repeated the words-then

Their eyes met. And though neither
one OF them knew 1t, their hands
were clasped.
Sam Partridge took his bride to
the Pacific coast. thence on a trip
round the world. Rather, they tripped
through the Orient, stopping long
enough to buy embroideries and
jades In Japan and China, and Jewels
in India. Both were eager to get to
the fashionable resorts Of Europe
At AK, Evelyn took tho town by

In Paris Evelyn tangoed to home
tunes while Sam hobnobbed with
home croniea And, OF course. an i'm

Evelyn landed in New York with
twenty-five trunks, twelve Jewel
boxes and a look Of alrs well with
the world.
The fragile Mrs. Samuel Partridge
promptly became the material with
which society editors padded lean
columns Her life Of luxury was
complete-her cup of comfort brimmed
over. She was absolutely content.
OF Tom Hale she saw nothing.
Her news Of him came through

Peggy had just returned from a
visit to Lake Placid, where she had
gone for the winter sports. There
was tho glow OF health back OF her
eyes. and moro light in their look.
The blood delicately tinted her skin
with natural color. Somehow she
didn't seem as plain az Evelyn had
always known her to be.
