Giving Breadth to Shoulders
BY MARY MARSHALL.
— ■ ■ i - - - -. — ..- ■—
EVENING necklines are so varied
this season that *e ought, surety
to be able to find scene that are
especially becoming to each one
of us And while you will have
good authority for wearing a dress with
the severely simple, classic dccoUetsge
you will find softer, more elaborate
lines if the severer sort Is not be
coming.
Today’s sketch shows one of the
Softer arrangements, which also tends
to give breadth to the shoulders. The
dress itself is made with a V-neckline
and extended shoulder straps seamed at
the top. Chiffon ribbon passes under
the straps, goes across front and back
and is tied in small bows at either arm.
In the dress sketched the decolletage
extends lower at the front than the
band of chiffon ribbon, but this simple
trick might be used, if you like, to
build up a neckline that you consider
too low.
Another interesting way of softening
the neckline of an evening dress is by
mean*, of scarf drapery. You can have
two drapes each about a yard long and
12 inches wide. Dra w in the fullness
at one end and fasten it with a small
rhincstcne buckle or button at the place

' SNOWY TBJEE CRICKET.
Oecanthug Nivens.
THE insect chorus depends upon
Mr Snowy Tree Cricket for his
tender little airs and ditties. In
July, when the chorus is going
strong, this musician can keep
up his singing all through the night.
He has a different song for daytime. On
a very hot night he can give out as
rUlfUtr I7r~«
many a* 150 strokes per minute. When
the cold nights come on the singer
sounds very hoarse.
In the evening light these crickets
look very white. They are a pale green,
their body is slender and ivory white,
tinged with delicate green. The wings
are clear and so are the wing cases.
The antennae are extremely long and
threadlike, with two slightly elevated
black dots on the under side.
The young suitor, besides being a
singer of note, brings to the young lady
cricket an offering of sweets. He be
gins his ditty with a soulful note, the
young damsel is seen to listen, she
comes closer, and sees that the gallant
has his wings raised high and the song
now is most pleading. The song and of
fering of a delectable sweet are ir
resistible and the offer is accepted. She
is seen sipping the sweet from a tiny
pocket located at the base of his wings.
The song is hushed while the lady en
joys her treat.
Of course, she marries him, and then
the mother seeks our apple trees, cher
ry, peach, raspberry and blackberry
stems in which she bores a tiny hole to
insert her wee, pale yellow eggs. The
mother is supplied with a very sharp
drill at the tip of her body, she makes
a hole about the size of a pin point,
drills into the sapwood and places one
egg, about one-eighth of an inch long,
in the puncture. She makes about 75
holes, about 25 to the inch, in a very
straight row.
These holes are often the open door
for tree diseases. Canes split and break
off where the mother cricket laid her
eggs
All Winter the eggs remain in the
twigs. In Spring the eggs hatch and
the pale, slander infants steal forth to
feed on the foliage of the trees, pollen
and ripe fruit. They have very accom
modating app«tites for such wee crea
tures. They grow slowly and are Just
like their parents. When fully grown
they have a pair of wings. There is
one gereratlon a year, and these crickets j
are known all through the East and
Middle West.
Dusting or spraying the canes of vour
berries and the trees wrhere the punc
tures may be seen is the only way to
still the voice of the lusty serenader.

Peanut Butter Cakes.
Cream together half a cupful of but

Runty'g Handy Tail.
For nothin* Is there real excuse
Unless somehow it Is of use.
—Old Mother Nature.
THIS Is why that as fast as she
finds things are useless Old
Mother Nature tries to get rid
of them. It sometimes takes
her a long time to c\r> it, but
in the end she succeeds. Runty, the
little Possum, couldn't for the life of
him see what use a tail that merely
twitched and couldn't seem to keep
still, like the tail of Black Pussy, was.
but for his own tail he had plenty of
use. He wouldn't have known how to
get along without it, particularly when
climbing.
Up a tree, rather a small tree, in the
Green Forest scrambled Runty and his
claws made a scratching sound. He
couldn't help that. No one could climb
a tree in a hurry without a sound. And
Runty was in a hurry. Yes, indeed,
Runty was in a hurry. Black Pussy
certainly would get him again if he re
mained on the ground, w'hereas if he
climbed a tree he might be safe. He
had great hope that Black Pussy
couldn’t climb. In that case he could
just sit up in that tree and grin down
at Black Pussy. So he scrambled up as
fast as he could.
But Runty’s hope was promptly
ended. Bl8ck Pussy heard those claws
on the bark of that tree and rushed
over to look up. She saw Runty climb
ing and a fierce light came into her
eyes. Here was another of those queer
little animals of whom she had al
ready caught one. She would catch
this one also and take both home to
show what a great hunter she was.
You see she supposed that Runty was
dead, and, of course, was just where
she had left him.
So up the tree started Black Pussy

FOR DIRTY DIRT
and Runty’s heart almost flopped over
in sudden fright. Up he went and up
and up and up. Up came Black Pussy
and up and up and up’. Runty was
higher than ever he had been before,
but somehow this didn't trouble him.
What did trouble him was the discov
ery that Black Pussy was a very good
climber and that she was keeping right
on after him. Of course, he couldn’t
go any higher than the top, and if
Black Pussy could keep right on to the
top also, and it looked as if she could,
he would be caught again.
Runty stopped climbing up and in
stead made his way out along a limb,
a rather slim limb that would bend
with much of . any weight. Runty was

such a little fellow that he could get
pretty well out toward the tip without
out bending it much. Then he took a
turn around it with his tail. He had
hands, feet and tail to hang on with,
so he wasn’t afraid of falling.
"Now if Ah have to,’’ thought he,
"Ah can let mahself down by mah tall
and pretty near reach that branch be
low.”
Black Pussy reached the branch to
the tip of which Runty was climbing.
There she paused. It was one thing to
have the trunk of a tree to cling to
and quite another to creep out on a
swaying branch. Gingerly she ventured
out. pausing at every step. That young
Possum was tantalizingly near She
ventured further. The branch bent
and Black Pussy dug her claws in to
hold on. She didn't feel at all com
fortable. No, sir, she didn't. In fact
she felt very uncomfortable.
Carefully she stretched out a black
paw with the sharp claws showing.
Ruhty saw it coming and didn’t wait
longer. He let go with hands and feet
and hung head down by his tail, that
very handy tail. Black Pussy glared.
She didn't dare go any farther out on
that limb. She couldn't quite reach
Runty’s tail where it was wrapped
around the tip, and she had a feeling
that even if she could it would do her
no good. There she was with that lit
tle Possum gripning at her just out of
reach and there was nothing she could
do about it.
