one ounce Of powdered arsenate Of

The tomato fruit worm Is somewhat
misnamed. for he is willing to eat
other garden delicacies besides toma-
toes. This little fellow, who Is near
ly an inch long. comes in various
shades of green, pink or purple with
black stripes running from head to
tail. The way to fight him is to spray
the tomato plants every two weeks
during the season with arsenate of
lead, using one ounce of the powder
or two ounces of the paste to six
quarts of water or Bordeaux mixture,
although the Bordeaux mixture Is
better than water.

which fall in any sort OF fashion
about neck and shoulders.
new wrap OF this nature is called
the Blue Devils cape and is named, Of
course, for those splendid soldiers of
France. 1t has the curious high
waist line In front and over the back
there is placed a sort OF panel effect
which buttons on each side of the
shoulder, forms the huge tumbled COL

this summer as Is the sash and this
lovely white thing on this dark silken
gown is but an advance expression OF
what is to come.
Still another afternoon gown which
Is destined to be extensively copied is
a black satin with q heavy shower
down each hip Of small blue tassels
hung on short blue silken cords. The
effect is indescribably pleasing and
novel and most beautifully developed in
the shade of blue used. The black

to replace the fluffy feather trimming
so much seen OF late.
One notices an absence Of light and
pale colors in the French collection

new coffee brown, and n great deal OF
black predominant. Where there Is

striking as in the pussy-willow taffeta
frock of blue heavily stitched with the

blue 1 described above.
What is lacking in gayety OF color.
however. is moro than made up in the
splendor and the quality of the mate
rails used: these are rich and gor-
geous to the last degree.
An evening frock which would have
been a note of splendor at the Russian
court and which indeed is reminiscent
OF Russian garments has an overtunic
of a marvellous gold metal tissue over
a petticoat of black satin. Along the
bottom of the metal tunic there Is
placed deep band OF heavy gold Rus
sian lace. The waist line Is lifted quite
short in front and a jewelled ornament
clasps the centre of the waist line
The bodice has a square decolletage
and the usual queer little sleeves, and
from underneath the tunic in the back
there appears a very narrow black
satin train.
The French makers have not dis
dained the apron draperies. They ap-
pear developed in black lace on a
Martial ct Armand frock of the new
copper colored satin. This frock has,
too, one Of the newest neck effects. as
a short frill of black net runs across
the front of the throat but does not
appear in the hack. This effect is
quite unusual and seems to carry out
the intention of placing whatever full
ness n frock may have in the front
instead OF at the back OF the skirt and
waist too.
One cannot say too much OF the Cir
die effects, which are as often seen as
the sashes. These girdles are draped
or looped. one end over the other, as
one often sees In Egyptian figures
and very often are clasped with Jew
elled ornaments or Jet things, It is
possible to arrange girdle in the
most graceful lines. nnd for that rea-
son they will doubtless be instantly
adopted.
On more than one evening frock the
sort of girdle effect of which / speak
Is produced by bands OF sequins or
beads-as. for example. It appears In

RELIABLE METHOD OF HAIR CARE

Hair is by far the most conspicuous
thing about us and is probably the most
easily damaged by bad or careless
treatment. II we are very careful in
hair washing, we will have virtually no
hair troubles. An especially fine
shampoo for this weather, one that
brings out all the natural beauty of the
hair, that dissolves and entirely re-
moves all dandruff, excess oil and dirt,
can easily be used at trifling expense by
simply dissolving a teaspoonful Of
canthrox (Which you can get at any
druggist's), in a cup of hot water.
This makes a full cup of shampoo
liquid. enough so it is easy to apply it
to all the hair instead of Just the top Of
the head. This chemically dissolves all
impurities and creates a soothing, cool
ing lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp
spotlessly clean, soft and plant, while
the hair takes on the glossy richness of
natural color. also fluffiness which
makes 1t seem much heavier than it is.
After canthrox shampoo, arranging the
hair is pleasure.-Adp.

Partisan House Introduces Seasons
First UNDERTAKING Design as Con-

r TERE we are at the high tide
r. of a new season In clothes
= = the tide having swelled UP
into immense proportions on It's way
across the ocean from Paris to New
York.
It has brought with It new features
Of fashions. wide diversity Of styles,
eccentrictties, numberless caprices.

Of the costumes that the slang ex-

There are many interesting features,

that the American buyers only come
abroad for novelties and not for ele-
gance. and that to please them they
often create absurd things that no

CAPES AND DOLMANS.

TT the capes and dolmans grow any
lovelier, and II hardly seems pos
l. sible for them to do so, we might
as well recognize their permanent in
corporation in the feminine wardrobe.
Such glory of color and georgeousness
OF material we have not seen in years
as appear now in the capes for elab-
crate occasions.
We have learned by now that beads
trim everything, therefore We are not
astonished to find a gorgeous evening
cape of sky-blue velvet with its lower
part so thickly studded with very
small steel beads that 1t cannot be
told what is the material in which
they are placed. About the neck OF
this sumptuous thing there Is row
after row OF silver cords looped one
above the other Of n depth sufficient
to form n soft, fuzzy collar. A thick
fringe OF steel beads outlines the bot
tom OF the cape and the sleeves, loose
and big, are OF the rich blue velvet.
A blue chiffon lining appears under
meath and the lovely thing is intended
for wear at spring gayeties.
A new trimming appears on some
very handsome wraps of this sort-it
is a banding Of what would be silk
fringe If the ends on either edge were
left free, but as they are stitched
down tight one hardly knows what to
call the effective banding. At any
rate, it is to be extensively used and
appears to excellent advantage on a
fne fawn-colored tricolette cape, more
dolman. really, than cape, used as an
entire deux from top TO bottom. The
banding Is of the exact shade as the
tricolette of which the cape Is made.
These capes are voluminous and more

An Inventory OF skirts.
II all the skirts that are travelling
over the ocean were compelled to go
to bureau of registration, as all
the people Of ak the nations have had
to do, 1t would take months of the
fashion officials time to pass them
up.
1t is a curious phase OF this season,
this manipulation OF fashion into an
infinite number of skirts. If there are
as many more to come as have arrived
a woman may feel permitted to wear
anything she owns. The tumble OF
styles is so extraordinary that every
kind OF skirt may pass muster. One
dominant idea runs through the whole
II that is any comfort to the woman
who will purchase clothes this month
and this idea is expressed by the mar
rowness of the HEM To be truthful
however, this new skirt that is ad.
vanced by Cabot in Paris has posi-
bilities of upsetting our equanimity
There is no use wasting breath ir
laughing at 1t. Those who buy and
those who sell have ceased to regard
an extreme idea from the house OF
Cabot as lacking in importance.
Now and then. In the recent history
of fashion, Cabot has introduced a
gown that was considered in the light
Of a diversion or a Jest. A year after

ming gown Of flesh pink thickly beaded
in crystal The vividness of this red
is instantly noticeable, and 1t is almost
impossible to match in ribbon or satin,
so new and so vivid 1t is.
Bands of Jet beads are much used to
bring about a girdle effect on some
frocks of this material. and just as Of

Jet bands are placed. one looped care

skirt Of Cabot, the straight Directoire
skirt Of Bulloz and the swathed and
draped skirts Of the other houses.
This is the skirt which Lanvin APP
proves and exploits. It has q strong
suggestion Of the century in which
Juliet loved and died; It also suggests
the costumes worn by Marguerite In
Faust" There Is a double skirt, the
| upper one OF which Is pulled out over
the hips and caught by a girdle which
upholds the fulness. The eighteenth
century borrowed this skirt and made
! 1t Of taffeta and brocades in pastel
shades and we have taken up their
conception Of 1t.
| Jeanne Lanvin sends over such a
frock with modern notifications that
might have shocked the medievaltsm.
The skirt Is exceptionally short and
the sleeves merely accentuate the be-
ginning of the arm, leaving the rest
Of 1t entirely bare.
Lanvin uses that peculiar gray blue
OF the end OF the eighteenth century,
which was one Of the many peculiar
colors dyed for the French court when
their weekly changes of fashions be-
|
the people. This blue, as Lanvin uses
It, is richly embroidered In orchid col
ored silken threads and beads. and the
movement Of the drapery about the
hips Is peculiarly good. AS for the
very short sleeves. the American
woman will have to work that problem
out as the season advances. It is too
early to say what she will do.
The Various Waist Lines.
There Is a struggle going on between
the long and short skirt, the plain and
draped skirt, the long and short sleeve,
and, as an added spice TO the gayety OF
dressing. the waist line becomes a
bone OF contention. It is high in the
Directoire fashion; 1t Is low in the
medieval manner, and 1t is marked by
two girdles in the end Of the eighteenth
century. Evidently each designer has
gone on a separate path, which not
only accounts for the tumble of styles
but for the general diversity In fea-
lures, fabrics, colors and ornamen-
ttation.
Bulloz sends over two distinct waist
lines. one is the Directoire, which he
accentuates in two of his most sue
cessful models, one OF which Is called

TT HE imported gowns from that
dear Paris are not pretty as to
line and design-not even the
most enthusiastic admirer OF French
creations can enthuse over the very
short skirts and sleeves and the rather
bunchy look most OF them seem to
have--but they are decidedly interest
ing and. more than that, even they arc
different from anything we see here
abouts.
Now. for instance, comes a white
silk Jersey evening gown, and from
Doucet. It is a charming thing with
long lines 30 very graceful that It is
distinctly novel.
While It is true most OF the imported
models seem to be rather buncny, It is
also to be noted that they all more or
less are OF the one piece or chemlse
type OF dress. This particular evening
gown is an excellent example, as it
has nothing to break the long lines ex-
cept a wide sash going twice around
the waist and looping just at the hip
on one side. The ends are finished
with heavy silken fringe and about
halfway up the skirt are looped
strands OF white beads punctuated
with large fiat jet sequins. Tho yoke
Of the bodice Is ornamented with the
same sort OF beads and Jet so placed
that they fall over the shoulders and
thus form the sleeves. as there are
no others It Is difficult to describe a
frock of this sort for the reason that

black sash goes around the waist and
falls quite to the hem in the back.
Indeed. the sash is an important
thing on every gown. as 1t appears In
many unusual and interesting ar
rangements, sometimes placed high
up under the arms and crossed In the
front and again in the back, where IL
loops between the shoulderblades and
then falls the length of the entire
frock. In this instance the sash is
not more than four inches wide and
appears on n Lige satin frock made
with the simplicity OF a little girls
school dress, falling long and straight
from the shoulders, with only the lit
tie crossed sashes at the bust and in
the back to hold in the fulness. The
sleeves are very short just the length
we would call awkward. as they stop
far short of the elbow.
By a curious freak of fancy It
seems that Partisan women wear the
short, wrist-length glove. just as peo-
pie used to do before the days Of 1850,
which sets US wondering II we shall
see the old fashioned lace frills ap-
pcaring again at the tops Of gloves or
shall the thin meshed mitts return ?
At any rate, II French frock
among the new arrivals shows sleeves
at all it Is this curious half -length-of
course 1t remains to be seen whether
our makers will adopt these funny
sleeves. Americans have as much
cleverness in adapting these fashions
as the French display in creating
them, and for this reason the French
things always look well on our women.
have seen nothing more interest
ing this spring than a fine frock of
dark blue serge with its short skirt
tucked its depth in wide tucks and
these overlapped at intervals with
black satin ribbon.
Again a lovely afternoons frock,
which even the most conservative will
admire, has pussy willow taffetas OF
the deepest blue for its material. It Is

blue silk threads. running up and down

The world has awakened to fnd that
he Jest is a fact, the diversion II q
commonplace.
1t might be we'll. therefore, to re-
gard this skirt which has been
launched by the three sisters-the
Fates, as they are often called-as the
most significant feature of the spring.
1t may be that narrow skirts will be
withdrawn before next September.
'allot does not do anything without
an object In view; their clothes are al
ways a prophecy; and when a wide
bell-shaped skirt appears in the midst
OF the highest skirts we have worn
for years, then II Is wise to pause,
look and listen.
1t should go without saying that all
the other skirts of the season are
tight. but the blessed part of it Is that
the best ones are tight only ut the
hem, and even there they are slashed
and manipulated in a manner that
gives freedom and a bit Of grace.
You surely will notice, II you have
observing eyes, that the draped skirt
Is better than the plain one. The effort
# the dressmaker is TO free the hips
and the knees and to give the appear
arce OF extreme narrowness to the hem
without actually hobbling the skirt
There are straight. tight skirts that
are lifted from the Directoire period
and these will be worn by the extrem-
lists. and they will be copied into the
