What a Woman Buys to Be in Style in New York

The Economical Woman Is a Favored Mortal at the Present Time

Gbere are no radical changes in ST LES HE styles of the seasom, and that includes winter as well as the days of autumn, certainly favor the economical woman, for her last year's gowns may be worn another year without being out of style. Not that there are no changes, for there are, but they are comparatively few and unimportant, and even when made they do not replace the fashions that have been in vogue for the last year. There are moditcations in sleeves and in skirts, but in both the

We were promised radical changes, but these importations do not carry out the expectations in this line, and while they are disappointing to a certain class of women who desire great and constantly changing variety they are received withasfavor by those whose purses make economy a necessity. One of the slight cnanges that are noticeable is a tendency to go back to the bustle that has, since its banishment, several seasons ago, tried so hard to break into. fashion’s circle. It comes this year in a decidedly modest form, and is nothing more than a small pad or wire arrangement worn in the skirt a few inches below the waist line. As we havé it now it is unobtrusive, and the woman without it is quite as well off as the woman with it. _ ; The chief thing that is noticeable is the iack of extravagant elaboration and a tendency towards a growing refinement that cannot help but be pleasing to the cultured woman. What extravagance is seen is along the commendable lines of more beautiful materials and exquisite laces and trimmings, but fhey cannot be used

silk, with silk embroidery of pink around tne bottom. The bodice is cut with deep V’s in front and back, with eight rows of shirring, and three extra_ones extending over the shoulder. The chiffon falls in graceful folds over the arm, and forming a short bodice in front and long in the back. - : .

A pretty traveling costume is a coat and skirt made of a covert cloth in a dark gray. The seams have strapped bands that are stitched with white silk. The coat has a turnover collar and pointed revers. : A pretty reception. gown is a study in pearl gray crepe de chine. The skirt has an elaborate system of tiny tucks around the bottom, with strappings which form encircling bands, and most-decorative scrolls. The bodice is made with three plaits in clusters, caught with wee buttons covering the front. .The yoke and neckband are ‘of white satin, embroidered with gold paillettes, and the collar of string-covered lace threaded through with black velvet.

Somc lesser things in the FASHION World ND why not devote a paragraph A or two to the many pretty novelties that the stores are so full of these autumn days. These novelties are quite as much a part of every perfect wardrobe as the most elaborate gowns; indeed, without them the elaborate gown would be but a poor affair.

Now for the coming horse show season a new novelty ribbon is sure to be among the popular accessories of dress. It is of a unique pattern, with horseshoes woven jthrough it, and is proving attractive to every feminine lover of horses. It is also being used for picture frames, handkerchief cases and pin cushions by the.equine fanclers. .

A mnovelty in the way of hatpins has made its appearance this fall. It is one that will not injure the hat, and to prevent this has little catches sewn to the hat under the rim close to the head on either side. The hatpins themselves are like extra long hairpins, with heads which will not o through the little catches. The g g pins go through and fasten securely into the hair; holding the hat in place. They are’ really excellent. There can be elaborate heads to these pins also, but, alas! they hardly show at all.

Lace medallions framing a bit of painted or embroidered silk are having considerable vogue and make a lovely trimming to evening capes. If one likes the empire effects they are quite appropriate on' a garment of this sort. Very remarkable is an empire cloak '‘of black lace the pattern about the bottom having inserted pieces of silk panne something after the medallion fashior The lace falls over lining of pink silk. The sleeves and short directoire jacket are of black satin heavily embroidered in jets. Behind there are two log ends that fall from the jacket, slightly shaped, like elongated coattails. But the belts attract the greatest attention among the novelties seen, and they are worth it, for they are unusually charming. They are of all widths and colors, and each and every one is well covered with embroidery in gold, and silver thread or beads, and colored silks. Anything which ingenuity or taste can devise ' will surely pass muster in this particular line of dress. Wide belts of black silk elastic fully four inches wide are dotted all over in small designs of steel or go.d beads, and fastened with a buckle so large that it could easily pass for a breast plate. Some of the narrow belts are supplied with rings at the ends and tied with a bow of ribbon. Girdles of black taffeta silk and panne are another feature. Simply a belt at the back, they round up and down into decided points in front and are quite as wide as those worn years ago. Rows of gold braid trim the upper edge and a narrow gathered frill of silk, also edged with gold braid, is the finish down the front. : - SBARAH DAVIDSON. .

: THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson in the International Series for ‘October 28, 1900—The Prodigal Son. ; [Prepéred by H. C. Lenington.] THE LESSON TEXT. (Cuke 15:11-24.) - 11. And he said: A certain man had two sons. : i 12. And the younger of them said to his father: Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. : 13. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14. And when he had spent all, there arose »a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that ceuntry; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat; and no man gave unto him. 17. And@ when he came to himself, he said: How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with . hunger! 18. I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him: Father, I have sinned against Heaven, and before thee, . 19. And am no more worthy to be called ’ thy son; make me one as of thy hired servants. ‘ : - 20. And he arose, and came to his father. } But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. ~ 21. And the son said unto him: Father, I ' have sinned against Heaven, and in thy ' sight, and am no more worthy to be called _thy son. : % 22. But the father said to his servants: Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. 23. And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry. 24, For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he, was lost, and is found. And they begah to be merry. : GOLDEN TEXT.—I will arise and go to my father.—Luke 15-ISB. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The parable of the prodigal son is one of a group of parables uttered by Jesus, showing why ana when it was a duty to receive sinners: But it is more than that.

VS, 125-82 The Prodigal Son. — The eleventh verse gives us a picture o. a. happy " home, with a father and his two soss as the central figures. The father was a prosperous man. The elder son accepted his place in the home and settled down to its routine or work and pleasure. The younger son was restless and discontented. He wanted “to s€e the world.” _ His Wandering.—Shortly the younger son went away from home, and for a time lost himself in riotous living. A Disastrous Experience.—The curtain is bound to fall, and when it fell “after the riotous time in a far country the prodigal found ali the lights gone out, the “good fellows” gone,* ~none of the cheer left, and famine % facing him, so that he was glad to secure the most menial employment, and would have eaten even the stuff with which he fed the swine. A Sensible Resolution. — Misfortune 'and suffering are the only things that bring some people to a sober view of life. When the young man. came to take this sober view, came to his real s¢lf, and saw things as they were. he knew something had to be done. The contrast between his father’s Iluxurious home and this swine pen came to him. He had been a son in the home, now he would gladly be a servant there. The thought no sooner came than the resolution formed itself. We cannot but think of _the struggle that must have taken place within him on the way back. He would have to acknowledge defeat,: meet the criticisms and censorious glances of his old-time friends, -and even the anger, perhaps, of his own father. : : His Return Home and Welcome.— What must have been the surprise of the prodigal not to have met the reception he expeeted. His father showed no anger, but recognized him a great way off, “and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.” Thisisa picture of the Heavenly Father. We may know that we merit rebuke. but orige the decision is made to return, to Him, He shows His boundless love, He utters no censure, but is even more glad to receive us than we are to turn from the way of sin to the paths of life and righteousness.

The Elder Son.—There are many of him in the world.” Note that his general course was a right one. But he spoiled it all by one little, mean aet. He refused to rejoice for the return of his'brother. He lacked thatlove which makes every service a jov. The right way had been to him the best way, because it had been the most expeditious. There is nothing to show that he stayed at home because he loved the old place or to be with his-father His feeling was mo better than had been the younger son’s. But he profite:d by his foresight while his brother lost all ‘he had. The younger gained in its place a love for his home and his father. Note. too. that.the father’s attitude had changed toward neither son. He welcomed the younger because he had been a long time absent, but for the ungracicusness of the elder sor he had only words of kindness. He simply said: *“All that is mine is thine

B o opmim i R ‘@'RK et 7701 W\, NS i RN RUN ON ONE WHEEL. : Russian Wagons for Mhltnry Transport Built Upon an Entirely ; New Principle, . A new sysfem of military transport has lately been successfully introduced into the Russian army. It is intended for use in roadless districts of Asiatic Russia, in which, as in so many parts of South Africa, transport by ordinary military wagons is extremely dirficult and laborious. A single wheel is placed within a light wooden frame. The shafts are attached to this, one on each side, just /7/ , ] . %Z w\\\\\““m"“”fliy ’ //‘mf\ N 7 , t N r;l» o e :"i\ — ] E op e e R eet e SINGLE '\VHEEL RUSSIAN CART. below the axles, being united in an iron socket a few inches in front of the frame. The mules or ponies are harnessed, not in front, but on each side of the frame, which is less than a -foot in thickness. A single short shaft with a fixed transverse bar at the end, which hooks on to the two collars, screws into the ‘iron socket and can thus be made the length required. The load is placed upon a double pack-saddle, which rests upon the center of the frame. lits weight thus presses almost entirely upon -the central whee., the two sides balancing each other, and resting oniy slightly upon the backs of the mules, which are able to employ nearly all their strength in drawing the load. At the -same time the possibility o. ‘“tipping” backwards or forwards is prevented by the teverage of the shaft attached to the collar, just as it is in a twowheeled cart. ' 'y . FEEDING THE HORSES. Many Farmers Make a Mistake by Giving Them Too Much Hay and Not Enough Grain, Farmers generally do not give the feeding of their hors2s the attention {they should.” The dairy cow and the feeding steer are carefully examined and discussed, but the feeding of the horse is usually all the hay he can eat and various quantitiea of oats and corn, according to the amount of work being done. Sometimes even the latter part is neglected. If a horse is expected to do extra hard work he should be liberally and regularly fed. The horse has a small stomach in proportion to his size, hence frequent feeding when under hard work is necessary. The human stomach can bear hunger far better than that of a horse. When driving on- a journey you feel hungry you may be sure your horse has felt it before you did, and is needing his feed more than you do. : |

Opinions differ a great deal as to the watering of horses. Some prefer to have the water in their stalis. Others prefer watering only as the horses come in frém their work or before feeding. Horses should not be watered after meals, as the stomach, being small, is liable to be partially emptied of the undigested food, causing trouble in the bowels and partial loss of the food. Oats and hay are the ideal food for horses in our country, but because they are the best is no reason why they should be exclu‘sively used. Variety is often much relished by the horse. With this variety cheapness and economy may be introduced. Good timothy hay, early cut and well cured, is the best hay for horses. Many farmers make a great mistake by feeding far too much hay and not enough grain. They might very well take a few lessons from our liverymen who find their horses’ do better and keep healthier on a small amount of hay and a Httle more grain.—Joseph H. Yoder, in Ohio Farmer. AUTOMOBILE MOWERS. Self-Propelling Harvesting Machinery Tested at Paris Proves an : Unqualified Success, : It is contended that the United States leads Europe in theé excellence of' many of its agricultural implements, but especially in the matter of harvesters. Reapers and. mowers are of Ameriean- origin, and this country has always kept ahead . of imitators. Among the mowgrs exhibited at the Paris exposition this year .were somge which may be propelled by gasoline engines, and require no horses. Two of these machines came from this country. The cutting devices do not call for notice. One of the American firms employs gearing o transmit power from the engine (or motor) to the driving rwheel, and another uses a chain. A -steering wheel is necessary, of course, ‘and this is controlled by a lever from the driver's seat. Automobile mowers were officially tested on a farm in the presence of a number of public officials and promi‘nent agriculturists. The crop cut was lucerne, and it was the second growth of the season. The forward move.ment of the machines was three or four feet a second, or about five or six rods a minute. Abbut an acre an hour. was cut. No acgidents occurred. Both machines worked satisfactorily, and experts express the opinion that the system has proved entirely practicable. = Automobile mowers, like steam plows, are a success.—N. Y.

SPRAYING EXPERIENCE. An Excellent Mixture for Apples, Pears and Plums and How It Is : to Be Applied. I have been spraying fruit, with more or less success, for the past 11 years, but not until the past four years have I been able tg find a mixture that'would make a perfect spray. In my earlier experience I used preparations recommended. by “Tom, Dick and Harry,” and did everything I was told to do, but my fruit was almost invariably lost. In the last four years, however, I have had excellent results and 1 attribute it almost entirely to the efficacy of spraying. I have had particularly good results with apples of all varieties anu plums, | such as Wild Goose, little and large Damson, Abundance and seedling of the Green Gage\. These I have found ‘ needed spraying particularly. For spraying wuse ‘two teaspoonfuls of London purple to two ana -one-half gallons of water and one gallon of lime water, making three and omnehalf gallons in all. Give the trees the first spraying before the bloom comes out, to insure ki'lling any insects that have lived over winter in the bark. The second spraying should be dome after the bloom is entirely gone. Give also a third and fourth application if found necessary, but this is rarely needed. Never vary this mixture for plums, and, of course, as all old fruit growers know, never spray while bloom is on, as it drowns, poisons or kills the poilen. For apples use the same mixture and apply in same, season as for plums. For gooseberries and currants it is equally effective. Apply only before currants bloom and after fruit is started. For pears the solution should be weakened. Use one teaspoonful of London purple to two and a half gallons of water and half a gallon of lime water. Peaches require the same mixture as pears. My experience has proven .nat this mixture is exactly right in every proportion and makes an ideal spray. For keeping fruit from rotting on the tree I have discovered that there is nothing like lime. Slake the lime in the ordinary manner and strain so it will ' run freely through the spray pump. Spray the trees with this lime water at any time, spraying right on the fruit. Early in Jujy put 'in a little London purple, about a teaspoonful in ~water and lime water. Use no more London purple after the fruit begins to arrive at fair size. For this lime treatment I except Wild Goose plums, and I would not use lime on any red plums. Use the lime right through the season till the ripening of the fruit. Any one can certainly raise fruit this way, and it will keep perfectly whiie .growing on the trees. I “have saved all of my crop this year, while my neighbors wita some of the same varieties have lost their fruit. Sometimes I air-slake lime and shake ‘it from a can attached to a pole right on the ripening fruit and it perfectly preserves it. ‘This year in one clump I saved by this lime treatment 42 large plums (a basketful) that lay together. It certainly is an excellent mode 'of keeping fruit from rotting on the tree.—George W. Hostler, in Prairie Farmer. 2 FARM COAL SUPPLY.

Many houses could make this arrangement for their coal bin, to the great saving of kitchen labor; but the pan before the opening is a very essential feature of the device, since in no other way could the dirt be kept from the floor.. A piece of worn-out bake pan will serve the purpose admirably.—Country Gentleman. , Hints on Wintering Cabbage. A good cool cellar will keep them until April with little or no loss. In putting cabbage in the cellar for use in early spring, I prefer to leave roots and most of the leaves on, set as close together as possillle with roots on the ground and heads upward. For pitting out of doors, select a dry place for the pit, dig out a few inches deep and two feet wide, as long as will be required to hold the cabbage. In placing in the pit pft heads down, letting roots extend upward and close together.” Cover with clean straw or other material and then with sufficient earth to preveni freezing. Open the pit at one end when wishing to get at the cabbage and when enough has been taken out for present needs close up the end with straw or other material to prevent freezing.—W. 8, Fultz, in Farm and Home. Europe Likes Our Apples, Liverpool is coming to be well acquainted with American apples, and so great has the trade there become that it is reported that in a single week as high as 100,000 barrels of American apples have changed hands,. The apple trade with England is bound to follow the American trade in meats and expand greatly. This trade must necessarily be in the winter varieties, such as the Baldwin, greening, russet, willow twig. There is gréat room for expansion in the growing of these varietles and of varl. eties in the same category. It meant that some of our land that is of ng
