WOOLLY BEAR CATERPILLAR.
Pyrrharctia Isabella.
ITO have a mother whose name Is
Isabella must be some dtstinc-
ton for little woolly bear
Il caterpillar, and he Is the wool
lest little caterpillar Of them
all. Sometimes these little bears are
called "hedgehogS,' because they nave
SO much stiff, furry hair that looks IKE
a coat.
Now is it not strange that a woolly
bear should have a tiger moth for q
mother? These moths and their chill
dren are known all over the United
States. In the Spring and Fall, the
bears, brown and furry, may be seen
hurrying UP the path toward black
berry bush or the vegetable patch. Tney
really make good time on those tiny
feet of theirs, even If they are located
very close to their head. They look as
II they had wee patent leather slippers
on.
The eight prolegs are for clinging TO
the vine and holding them, as they eat
the leaves At the tip of the body Is
tail clasper for clinging purposes also
The head is shiny black. the eyes very
small, and the orange antennae nothing
to brag about. The yellow spots on the

body.
When one moves, he stretches himself
full length and holds to the position
gained with his front feet. He can
swing his body all about by holding
tight to the support with his tail clasper.
His woolly coat protects him from the
birds. Hairs tickle and choke and
somehow the birds know about this and
leave the woolly bear alone.
In the Fall the little bears seek
sheltered place in which to sleep during
the long Winter months. Sometimes
you you find them all curled up in q
tight little ball until the sun is warm.
Early in the Spring. he comes from
his hiding place and eats Bit then he
spins himself a warm. snug wrapper Of
silk and hair It feels Just like felt. It
is surprising how small a coat this little
bear can squeeze into. The other mira
Gle Is that such a large moth can step
out of such snug quarters little while
after the felt cocoon Is completed.
The mother Is a dull orange, with
wings splashed with black. The hind
wings are lighter. with spots of black
on them. They are two inches across.

structive way to look at these recurrent
duties.
The days work is, to be sure, imper-
manent, but the standards which are
kept up in the right way are permanent.
To maintain high standards of living
Is part Of the housewives privilege.
Standards are not fluctuating when
there IS q love of cleanliness, love of
| beauty, desire to have the home rep
resent the fine things Of the minds as
we'll as the comfort of the body.
II the homework ii done on this
basis 1t gains in dignity and Importance
as a matter of genuine worth. Without
such an attitude. the tasks performed
are inclined to lose their significance in
the making of home. All the lesser
tasks are like small coins, which, when
taken together, make a sum Of value
There is much talk at the moment of
money itself being upon 1.-The gold
basis" that is, whether or not money

Homework needs backing" too-the
backing" Of high standards permanent
and valuable.
1t Is interesting to realize how out
siders, entering a home detect whether
or not there is the finest kind Of
standard or backing behind the doing
Of routine tasks, and the management
OF the menage. A usually well kept
house, temporarily in disorder, made

Hiring q Decorator.

Decorating Is 80 much the order OF
the day that there Is q small group OF
homemakers who hesitate to shop any
more for even the most insignificant
piece Of house furnishings, without first
consulting their interior decorator. The
result Is good business for the decora-
tors. and added expense for the home
makers, in most instances.
The decorators profit Is usually de-
rived from the sale Of material and fur.
niture to you. She will plan Q room
for you, submit her estimate, and, II all
is satisfactory, she viii decorate the
room. Your bill Is for material and
labor. II you shop for the same stun
at store, your bill Ii only for the pieces
you buy, or for the material OF the
Grapes and curtains.
It Is unnecessary TO inquire which
sells the greatest quantity Of articles,
and therefore Is satisfied with the
smallest profit. Women unable or I'M
willing to undertake the decorating of
their own homes will find In many
stores decorators at their service, with
out charge, to advise them.

On the middle of her back Is a row Of
six black dots, and on the side Of her
body Is a similar row. Her legs are red
dish and tipped with black. The anten-
nae are small.
The moths fly about at night and
place their hundreds Of eggs on the
plant host best suited for the future
woolly bear. If these caterpillars are
very numerous, they become very de-
structive. They are very susceptible to
fungus growth called "muscardine."
The little "hedgehogs" or woolly bears
will be seen stretched stifhy to their
food plant covered with white powder
The expression, HE caterpillared,"
means the person had to submit to the
unavoidable and make the best of 1t.
Put little woolly bear In a paste
board box and watch him grow into q
little tiger moth; or see how many
clever things he can do as he creeps
about over a stem. 1t will repay you.

She would not hold grudge. When an

She Is possibly OF an industrious ma

She may enjoy club work and other
types Of group activities. Even though
she Is very busy, she should make time

wise Tor her TO keep very quiet during q
short rest period daily. This would en-

She will also find books have a quieting

might enjoy some type Of library or
