"- irrLivxs IH EVENING WEAR TEA G6WNS FORMED OF RICH MATERIALS. Fashion No.v Decrees That They Shall Fit the Lines of the Figure Full Dress Cotumes Without Sleevec. Tea gowns and evealng frocks are cowing to their own now. It's very hard at times to distinguish between the two, for tho evening gown has grown nearer and nearer to th soft flowing linos of the senl-negllgeo. whllo the tea gown has broken its sweeping draperies and fitted Itself to tho Hue of the figure. The difference, however. Is most likely to be found In material, for the tea gown bas taken to itself the rich velvets, cashmeres and soft veiling, while evening gowns remain as airy as possible. Lines tend more to the flowing style, with sur plice front and angel sleeves. Very young girls, however, are wearing the dearest little puffs tbat barely cover the top of tho arm. while many of the newest fall draw costumes are quite guiltless of sleeves. For these the flower trimmings are popular. A trifle less pronounced is the angel sleeve, or win sleeve, as the French who orig inated it name it. wlN SHOES FOR THE HOT WEATHER. New Buttoned Oxford Will Be Among. the'Moet Popular. With lingerie drosses for summer a new buttoned oxford will be worn.

For materials, satin is per haps in the lead. It's by no means an extravagant fashion, for they wear well as evening material go, and come In very goon qualities as low as one dol lar a yard nt many of the shops.

MEAL WORMS AND HOW TO DEAL WITH THEM By John B. Smith, Flour, moal, bran, oatmeal, cracked, and even whole corn, are apt to he come Infested with "meal worms" of varying sUe, from the slender little grubs of the saw-toothed grain beetle, which scarcely exceed an eighth of an inch, to the Inch-lonp. almost cyl indrical larvae of the ToBebrio specie?. The latter, yellow and dark, are best known as meal worms, and are more usually fournJ in barns and stables. while the small speeJes are more gen eral in the peatry and flour closet.

It means extremo cleanliness; getting rid of all Infested material and keep In?; the supply In tight boxes or pack ets. It will be better to have on hand or open only enough for current use, and above all things have no rem nants In the box In regular use. I have seen a glas3 Jar badly infosted simply because it was never quite emptied. When tho supply got ' to within an inch or half an inch of tho be'lom a new lot was added and tho Infested material at tho bottom al ways served to supply the raw ma terial in a very few days.

Those slender meal worms having a small, yellow head and three pain of short leps anteriorly, are all the larvae of various species of beetles, and in the house or in warmed barns or t tables tkey breed contlaitonsly. la coU trns' and granaries there is no breeding during the winter, and In these, when tars quantities of ma terial become Infested, the use of bi sulphide of carbon is soinqtimes In dicated. Another type of larvae is found in the "meal moths." of which a number cf species occur iu food supplies. These larvae are really small enter- pillars, and they have, besides tht tbiee pairs of legs anteriorly, a series of four pairs of short legs at tho mid die of the body. Most of these oator pillars spin a certain amount of silk, and some of them livo in regular silk en tubes. Ono of the most common species, the Indian-meal moth, which Is only a- little larger than and Is often mistaken for a clothes moth, attacks also dried fruits, nuts ,and other vegetable products. Walnuts are not uncommonly Infested, and 1 have found them In boxes of figs from tho orient and of prunes from Cali fornia. It Is by no means certain, however, that the Infestation did not take place in the storehouse lu New "York city. The same general recommendations that were made for tho other meal worms apply as well to these. These meal moths, though not often trouble some In the house, sometimes bo come veritable pests In barn3, mills, granaries and elevators, and require tho moEt active treatment for their destruction.
