but it's maddening to be

Flowers and Pearls
for Young Heads.

Vi
In sharp contrast to the blazing taras.
coronets and crowns worn by young NATIONS,
and dowagers at the opera are the head Or
naments affected by debutants. These
young women have elected to appear with
their coiffures surmounted by wreaths OF
flowers interwined with strings OF pearls
The effect Is much more youthful and Is
prettier than could be secured with diamond
ornaments, and the new fad affords Just
enough Of d change from the wreath Of
simple blossoms and leaves which has been,
IN vogue for sometime, to make 1t well worth
copying. -
Some Of the younger set duplicate tho
ornaments for the neck of their ball and din
ner gowns, making the wreath entirely SURF
round their shoulders and end in large
bunch of flowers at the left side or continue
on down almost the hem Of the skirt in g.
graceful trailing vine. This is decidedly
English In idea and fashion. Nearly eyeryl
young girl who enjoys q season in London
possesses quantities of those fluffy tulIa
frocks which are considered the thing for
her by English mothers, and in order to give
variety and some distinction to otherwise
rather nondescript costumes, she resorts to
decorations Of her favorite flowers. TULIPS,
orchids. gardenias and roses among the
larger flowers are liked best, while almost
any of the tiny buds and blossoms look well
with their natural leaves. The pearls may
be omitted If the long vine Of flowers is used,
though the head ornament may CLEAN with
their pure white drops.

HELENA'S BONDS SOLD.
Refunded Issue Commands Lower Rate of Interest-Sold to a Chicago House and Ma
 ture in 1924.

Helena, May 22. The council of the city of Helena at it's last meeting accepted the bid of N. w. Harris & Go. of Chicago for the purchase of the $155,000 is- sue of refunding bonds. Mayor Sliger and every member of the council was in attendance and Harris & Go. were represented by w. P. Chapman of Chicago.
 All terms regarding the sale of the bonds were agreed upon and the transfer will be made about July 1. The bonds which will be retired by the present is- sue are those floated in the year 1884, and known as the railroad compromise bonds.
 These bonds amount to $100.- 900, the largest holder being the Municipal Trust Company of New York, whose share amounts to $40,OO0. The other bonds, all of which are payable at the Ma tional Park Bank in New York, and are held in small quantities by different parties.
 The difference of $5,000 be- tween the amount of the present indebtedness and the new bond issue will be made up out of money accumulated in the city treasury, thus saving interest to the city.
 Another big saving of interest will be caused by the rate of in- terest, the new bonds drawing but 5 per cent, whereas the old drew 6. The fact that the new bonds are serial in form will per- init the retiring of several thou sand dollars before the maturing of the greater portion in 1924.

Judge Dole took IL under advisement.
He also reduced Young Maps bail from
$4,000 10 $500.
