For the third and fourth spraylngs
for the orchard this season we shall
use homemade arsenate OF lead, made
by dissolying lead acetate In water
and mixing with sodium arsenate, %
ounces Of the former being combined
with 3 ounces OF the latter This
amount OF the chemicals is sufficient
for 100 gallons OF water or an equal
volume Of bordeaux mixture. which
we shall use IN the work mentioned.
A homemade arsenate OF this deserIp-
tion Is Just as etiicaeious as well as
considerably cheaper than paris green.

educational methods that is just now
being given more emphasis and from
which more definite and practical re-

NEW IDEAS IN
PARIS FASHIONS
sY MADAME hYDoRNE.

Paris, Oct. 13.-The creation Of au-
tumn models is occupying the best at
tentions of the leading houses of Paris
and London. The furriers are the first
and foremost with the new modes, and
indeed give us indications of the shape
of the coats and of the general trend
of fashion in departments other than
their own. Velvet is going to be worn
this season-the real, old-fashioned vel
vet, also velours du nord, chiffon We
lours, and cord In all colors. All sorts
of smart little coates and pelerines, as
we'll as the ankle length coat, which
seems to be taking a new lease of life
this autumn, will be made In velvet. 1t
is, however, more difficult to say what
dresses will be worn, because the lead
ing Partisan couturieres are liable to
alter these quite suddenly. Therefore
though 1T may appear to be putting the
cart before the horse, 1 should say that
fashions in furs and coats are better
and earlier known than those in toll
cites de visite. though ii is predicted
that the latter will be very magnificent
this season, for such fabrics as soft
souple. MORE velvet, and beautiful en-
boideries and furS VIII be used on pas
tel cloths and mixed with wonderful
braidingS.
Some of the redingnotes are cut with
very long baSqueS, even a little below
the ankles, worn with a long, plain
cloth skirt, perhaps only lightened with
a band of embroidery. Many princess
frocks will be worn with pelerine effects
attached.
But now let me describe for your BEN
eft the early fashions in furs- One de-
sign shows a lovely wrap in brown
beaver cloth, lined with a fancy mus
uuash and finished with beautifully
dressed collar of the same fur in the
new fat pelerine shape. This is essen
TALLY a motoring or travelling coat.
Another is in broad tail, cut with q
short basque SO ingeniously applied that
it is scarcely noticed. The waistcoat
of beautiful white satin embroidery is
worked I'm gold and black. This model
is on the lines of one of the snlartest
coats of the season either in fur or
cloth.
Charming, too, is a little pelerine of
fur. in which the sleeves are cut in
one, and make 1t a compromise between
bolero and e. cape, held in at the
waist. This curious way of treating
sleeves is also shown in. a little black

wide, shaped stoles are i'm direct con-
trast to the tiny little fancy fur jabots
and ties. which will also be Worn IN
all the best furs, such as sable, chin
chilla, errrine and seal. All the wide
stoles / have so far seen are in these
leading furs.
Seal, by the way, promises to run
chinchilla and sable very close in fash
ions list of furs.
But / suppose one of the really new
features of the seasons fashions will
be the trimmings of fur on the cloth
jackets. which is a revival of a fash
ion Of about twenty years ago. Many
OF the Directoire models will be treated
in this way, made in velvet with
revers of beautiful embroidery edged
with ermine or sable. fashioned
pelisses are being made In MORE and
I'm poplin. Accompanying these we
shall see flounced skirts. and. no
doubt. some early Victorian bonnets
later on
At present the favorite toque seems
to be the little turban, which is al
by the immortal Leech in Punch. -
These are made in the sofest and
highest of felts. and will show bands
of fur as trimming in lieu of the
knotted scarves which are worn at
present.
Delightful little velvet sac coats
will be worn. and the viepnese tailors
are showing these trimmed with
heavy gimps and ernbroideries, and
sometimes with laces and insertions
as we'll.
Very charming for mid-s season tot
letteS are. the princess skirts, trimmed
with braids. with little, short sac
boieros, made with sleeves cut in
pelerine fashion. Pretty, too, are the
little coates of velvet and taffetss
mixed for the between season. A lit
tie while ago every one said sleeves
would get smaller. but except in the
taiior-nade models they seem TO get
larger as the season advances. There
appears to be no period of fashion
that the leading modistes are not max
ing an effort to revive.
