The Leopard Moth is our latest pest and is proving 
the most injurious. Very few people fully realize the 
injury that this insect causes to all deciduous trees and 
to a great many shrubs. A striking instance of this fact 
is shown by the complete destruction of the beautiful elm 
trees at Harvard College. The small borer after hatch- 
ing, starts in the new wood on tips of branches. As soon 
as the tip commences to die the insect crawls back from 
six inches to four feet toward the trunk of the tree and 
starts a new hole. It eats the sap wood which of course 
taps the flow of life giving sap and causes the branch to 
wither and die. In many cases the branch breaks off. 
The work of the insect is constantly advancing toward 
the larger wood. Working in the borer form. for two 
years, each season eating and growing larger, it pupuates 
the winter of its second year, in its last boring, coming 
out in the form of a moth in June and July. Then the 
moth lays its eggs. These eggs hatch out in about ten 
days and the small borer crawls to the tip to again begin 
the cycle. If proper work is done when the tips are 
withering the small borer can be exterminated and the 
work simplified. Once the tree is free of the large borer

very satisfactory work on North Shore estates this sum- —

satisfactory due mostly to the fact that they have men ~

A bevy of beautiful girls, without 
question the prettiest gathering of its 
kind ever seen upon a_ vaudeville 
stage, is the piece-de-resistance of B. 
F. Rolfe’s newest and best musical 
comedy, “The Bride Shop,” which 
heads the bill at B. F. Keith’s Theatre 
next week. ‘The Bride Shop” is a 
lingerie establishment where brides go 
to purchase their trousseau. ‘This 
forms an excuse for the introduction 
of beautiful girls in wonderful 
clothes, and offers excellent oppor- 
tunities for fun-making by Andy 
Toombes, the elongated comedian. 
The book of “The Bride Shop” was 
written by Fred DeGressac, author of 
“The Enchantress,’ “The Purple 
Road,” and “Sweethearts.” The 
principal feminine role is in the hands 
of Lola Wentworth, The surrounding 
ciety bud with a beautiful soprano 
voice, who has some splendid selec-
