WOMAN’S PAGE. Possibilities in Long Sleeves BY MARY +., Most women that we talk to express “entire satisfaction with the new fash- dons. They find them easy to wear and ..most becoming, but one of our readers MARSHALL. Probably this reader is unduly con- scious of ‘her thin arms. A good plan is never to mention or draw attention to one's shortcomings of that sort, and the chances are that cthers will not no- ¢ice them. It is twue that most of the Summer dresses are sleeveless or short- sleeved, but I have seen charming, youthful dresses of the long-sleeved sort. For the evening dress I would not ad- vise long sleeves, as they would seem cut of place. Actually, gloves will be worn extensively for rather formal eve- ning parties this Summer, but if you do not wish to wear them, why not take advantage of one of the new scarf draperies? At dances recently 've have not'cad several scarfs of this scrt, and one most attractive young woman al- ways dances with her scarf ends falling down over her arms. (Copyright, 1931.)

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Peter remembered the huge “goose gogs” that grew in the garden back of his London home. He laughed at the little hard green nubMins which were on the market in America. “Do you call those pee-wees gooseberrics? You ought to sce a real English gooseberry and then you would know what the fruit is 1i And when ‘he talked about gooseberries he pronounced the word as if it were spelled “goozbriz.” Among his possessions he had a Fecip> for an old English conserve.

NATURE’S CHILDREN STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O, THURSDAY, MODES OF THE MOMENT BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. TMlustrations by Mary Foley. XL. THE DIGGER WASP. Family Sphecidae. OU can never get on friendly terms with the digger wasp! | She carries a poison-filled | lance at the tip of her hind-| body, which she uses with the slightest. provocation on friend and foe. | She is a handsome creature, with a shiny black body, trimmed with | splashes of gold about the abdomen. The gauzy wings have a spread of about 2, inches. She has six slender legs. | Her jaws are very strong, and she uses | them to bite into hard clay banks, where she prefers to locate her home. | She is the only insect known that usesl any material to assist her in her| building. This wasp will select a tiny | pebble and, holding it between her jaws, will pack the earth with steady strokes until she has closed up the doorway to_the nursery. In July and August she darts madly about, hunting for a fterrace or bank free from moisture. When once she has decided upon the spot, she goes to work in a most efficlent manner to dig the entrance hall t0 the future home of her babies. She bites into the hard clay and brushes the dirt aside with her front feet, working so fast you can only see a lot of dust flying. The first hall is about 6 inches long and slightly sloping. A sharp turn and another hall the same length is dug. At the end of this tunnel a round room is fash- SR IR TR foned. Sometimes she has several rmms“ leading from the main hall. The nursery completed, she seeks food for her babies. Overhead a ci- cada is singing. This is choice food, and she flies to the tree. With a flash- ing dart she has pierced the cicada with_her lance and his song is hushed. He falls to the ground paralyzed, but not dead. Straddling him, she clasps him tightly and slowly drags him up the trunk of the tree. She does this to get a_flying start with her heavy burden. Reaching home, she opens the doorway and pulls him down the hall into the nursery. On the center of the cicada’s body she lays a white, elon- gated egg. Every room fis filled in this way, and she walks out, closes the door with her pebble hammer and goes away to_die. In a few days the eggs will hatch, | {and the larva, or tiny baby wasp, with | its small, pointed head and very broad | hind-body, begins to draw its nourish- ment from the still living cicada. In| a week or more the youngster (larva) | will spin a coat of silk fluid mixed | with the dirt from the walls of thi little Toom. The coat will have several breathing openings, and now the owner | will take a nap until Spring comes. | When the warm days appear, the larva is transformed into the next,stage | of being a pupa, soon changing into 2 | asp. With the use of their strong jaws, the wasps cut their way out of the cocoon and then out of the hall. | My Neighbor Says: When cooking such vegetables as carrots, spinach, turnips and caulifiower, cook twice the amount needed for one meal. Half may be served plain the t day and the other half creamed the sec- ond day. Tumblers that have been used with milk should always be washed in cold water before,they are washed in hot. When this is done the milk does not stick to the glass and they will not have a cloudy appearance. (Copyrisht, 1931.) They seek their mates and soon are hunting a building site and harpooning the joyful cicada. (Copyright. 1931) better every way FLAVOR?
