WARRING ON PLANT VERMIN
Kerosene Emulsion Said to Be a
Remedy for Many Pests That
Annoy the Gardener.

Every gardener must face certain
annoyances and be ready to stand a
percentage of loss from vermin and
disease. The simplest and most ef-
fective remedy for any kind of plant
lice is to spray with kerosene emui-
sion. This is satisfactory with all
soft-bodied insects, and it kills them
by it's effect through the outside of
the body. To make kerosene emul-
sion take a half pound of any hard
soap, one gallon of hot water and two
gallons of kerosene. Dissolve the
soap thoroughly in hot water, after
which the kerosene is to be added.
Stir briskiy until the whole solution
has become white and milky, indicat-
ing the complete mixture of the soap
and oil. The easiest way to do the
stirring is to run the solution through
a pump and back into the bucket or
barrel. Add about ten gallons of wa
ter to one gallon of this stock solu.

derstood. yet they are somewhat tickle.
The best results are obtained when
the soil Is very rich. well watered
and kept hoed at all times.
Never allow weeds to attain any
start in their beds as they cannot re-
sist the encroachments of rapid.

Plant them deeply so that the
crowns are fully three inches below

OF very early In the spring.
Water we'll after doing it. They
may be planted at almost any time
II the soil is allowed to adhere to the
roots and kept well watered for at
least two weeks. In fact they should
never be allowed to become dry.
Give them deep hoeing and good
mulching of manure during August or
September, and hoe It into the soil
thoroughly.
Iris Tectorum, Sibirica and similar
types require much the same attention

CHANGES IN WoMAN's HAIR
Simplicity In style Gives Way to Pom
padour, Pulls and Curls This
Fall.

In the Woman's Home Companion
the fashion editor comments in part
as follows about the changes in coif-
fure this. fall:
There is to be a decided change in
the coiffure this autumn. Simplicity
has been the model these past two or
three seasons. Now there is return
to the pompadour and puffs and curls.
This should be welcome news to many
women, as this new style is far more
becoming and softenfng to the fea-
lures. than the severely plain coiffure
recently favored. The new pompadour
is interesting as it is SO different from
the pompadour so popular in the past
1t is called the slanting pompadour,
because it is very low in front and
rises gradually until it reaches the
crown, where it is finished with a
group Of small puffs or curls encircled
with a soft coil"

Emhroiderx Bans.

The blue and white Japanese doilies
so popular for summer use may be
converted into neat little mending
bags, which make very nice gifts.
Take two doilies the same size and
feather-stitch them together except at
the top, where they are sewed to oval
rings to serve as an opening. Make
ribbon loops of blue satin fastened to
the sides of the rings with bows, and
the result is very attractive If you
use square doilies edge them with mar
row Irish lace and the top corners
may be brought over the rings as a
finish to double back part way over
the two sides, the opposite corners
forming the pointed bottom of the bag.

SOME TIMELY HINTS

Take down the curtains and roll up
the shades. Give the plants all the
light possible and plenty of fresh air.
Ferns should have a soil of pure
leaf-mold with a little sand added,
abundance Of light and air, but no
sunshine. Keep moist in a cool room
away from dust and furnace heat.
All roses that can be transplanted
with safety in the fall should be at
tended to. A rose SO planted gets
all the good of the early spring wealth
er and is better prepared to wit. :
stand the heat and dryness of sum-
mer.
Shelter the house plants on the
veranda a week or so before bringing
inside, to accustom them to the change
by degrees, taking them In on cool
nights, and setting them out during
the day.
The potted bulb should be frequent
ly turned, that all sides may be ex-
posed to the sun. If this Is not done,
the spike may develop on one side
only, the other side not opening its
flowers.
The SCOT recommended as a fertili-
ger for garden plants is that from
wood ashes. Coal ashes have no value.
Window boxes and plants in pots
must have an abundance of water. Wa
ter at night thoroughly always. AS
soon as the soil dries water again
whether it is morning or noon.
Cut away all but the strongest canes
half dozen are enough to leave or
the climbing roses. Prune the June
bushes.
Gloxinias, fuchsias, and tuberous
rooted begonias are summer boomers
and should be doing their best now
Let them rest during the winter.

How to Know Cotton Goods.


An excellent way to increase ones
knowledge of cottons is to obtain sam
pies of first-class materials in the
standard weayes. and study them. All
large retail dry goods stores maintain
an efficient staff of clerks to attend to
requests for samples. and welcome the
opportunity to acquaint the public
with their wares. BY comparing these
guaranteed goods with samples from
cheap, less reliable shops. the student
of fabrics will add very definitely to
her knowledge. In experimenting with
different grades of the same kind of
material, in closely observing the feel
ing of weight, firmness, softness,
smoothness, elasticity, harshness and
stiffness, a host of interesting and del.

Two Sides

they aim at beauty and simplicity

when they simply set out to tempt
their customers into extravaganza and

the point one may lay down the gen.
eral principle that there is all the
difference in the world between max
ing the things which are wanted and
trying to induce people to want the
things that you make.

The New French Ribbons.

Paris finds, for one thing, that rib
bons made this year are of a very in
ferior quality. The French ribbon in
dustry, it seems, was largely carried
on by men. The men went to war and
women went into the ribbon factories.
They are doing their best, but as vet
the best ribbons they can turn out are
inferior to the ribbons the Paris dress
makers desire.
In some cases the dressmakers can
make silk take the place of ribbons.
But this poor quality of ribbons has
helped to decide the nature of the
trimming of autumn millinery.

MORE FUR IS SLOGAN
WHAT FASHION MAKERS DICTATE
FOR FALL WEAR.
Cuffs on Every Jacket Are Now Muffs
Hens of Skirts and Jackets
Smothered in Bands
of Fur.

It is probable that women will
never be persuaded to give up pieces
Of peltry that cover the shoulders; it
is the remaining savage instinct in
them to fling around their bodies the
skins Of wild beasts; this truth was
proved during the summer, when
every woman who could afford the
price of fox. white or otherwise. ar
rayed herself in it, even on days when
a mosquito netting would have been
too warm covering She temporarily
reverted to the cave-woman.
The furriers, however, need not
spend sleepless nights wondering
where their rent is to be obtained.
for paradise is opening to them. Fur,
and again fur, and still more fur, is
the slogan of the fashion-makers.
As to Neckpieces.
There may not be a great quantity
of neckpieces worn, as fashion does
not indicate any loose covering for
the shoulders that will hide their
lines. but SO much fur Is demanded
elsewhere that it is more probable the
furriers will spend sleepless nights
wondering where to get it.
The cuffs, for instance, on every
jacket are now muffs. They, extend
to the elbows and flare to width of
eight and ten inches at the hands.
This is part of the Russian infiu-
ence, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that these immense bell-shaped
accessories will be sought by every
woman who likes to take up the ex.
treme thing.
In addition to such lavish use OF
peltry on the sleeves, the hens OF
