The bows are made of two flat dog-eared loops of the bias ribbon.
 The lower, new and becoming girdle requires two yards and a half of rib- bon, four hooks and eyes and four brass or bone curtain rings. crocheted with embroidery silk in one of the pre- dominating tones of the ribbon. A straight piece of ribbon Is cut the right length for the belt, allowing two inches over for the five quarter-inch tucks in the front and for turning in at the back The girdle is boned in the middle of the front and under each bow. It is often more becoming if the front bone is made narrower than the others tosgive good slope.

 Rosette bows. which are still worn with long ends. though scarcely as pop ular as the Alsatian, may be made in two ways. The easier is to measure off short loops of almost even length. first up, then down, holding the centers firmly between the thumb and first fin- ger of the left hand until the required number is made Wrap several times with coarse cotton, make the knot as

The other method is to thread a long needle with coarse cotton, measure short upward loop of ribbon. knot it with the thread. then another in the same direction. knot that and continue until yard or more of the loops is made.

 Very inexpensive belts can be ynade of straight strips of linen about two inches wide, cut double and trimmed with sew eral rows of machine stitching. Or they can have one row of stitching about half an inch in from the edge.

Pay as You Go

IND you ever notice that bills are
 always larger than you had eX- D pected them to be2 This pe- culiarity is no fault os the merchant. but arises from miscaleulation in- duced by the slipshod and dangerous habit of running up accounts. Every retailer would rather have you run an account with him than pay as you go, for he knows that by the former method you will spend far more money than by the latter. where you feel every dollar.
 Another peculiar trait common to all, bills Is their habit of arriving just at the most inconVenient time for paying them. If you pay cash, you simply cannot buy unless you have inc mopey. Are not these sufficient argumer4ts against the pernicious sys- tenn of credit, which has been the cause of more eXtravagance, cheat ing and destitution than anything else in the history of the world except drink?
 Without making a crusade against the custom, consider a few of it's ef- fects, and then ask yourself whether you will ever again buy single arti- cie unless you can immediately after ward pay for I. After a careful re- view of the, bub1ect, l will wage" that the nf~.f will ba--NAl

To buy a new suit and hat twice year. to supply one's self with fairly abundant equipment Of neat and dainty underclothing, even to pay for shoes. stockings and gloves, somehow seem like legitimate expenses; but it is the small access sories, the neck or waist fixings, veils, shields. pins. white and black. big and little, safety and plain, and many other feminine necessities vaguely called motions" that are so appalling to the girl who must live within a fixed income. Their cost can never be counted upon except to be just about double their allotted portion.
 It is right here the practical girl has her innings. She recognizes the ne- cessity of these money consumers, and sets her wits to work to get them as economically as possible. Certain of them. like wells and notions" are more or less fixed In their cost though even this she can lessen by taking ad- vantage of advertised sales; but when 1t comes to the little adornments for her neck and waist. she can readily economize, yet look as well.if bet ter, than some friend of more lavish income but less ingenuity-provided. naturally. the practical girl has clever fingers.

It Is very stylish to introduce a touch of color in the raffia work, as red. green or dark blue. with the natural color. The raffia is mounted on a shaped belt of duck, the fronts are covered with stitched pom gee and the whole belt lined either with the pongee or a tan-colored muslin. The raffia Is woven around cheap oval or square, flat buckle of the proper size.
 FOR STOUT GIRLS
 The practical girl who Is stsut must be particularly careful in regard to her waist line. Just what great difference in her appearance Is made by the wrong shaped belt can be plainly seen from the contrasting pictures. No mattar what the fashion, she needs a shapely waist line. and should forswear wide girdles, which reduce her apparent height. It is always better for her. moreover, to wear. belt to match her blouse rather than her skirt. Nor should she indulge herself in soft ribbons that are apt to draw into a string. or in overmuch shirring and bows.

How much better is the narrow white moire belting. held firmly in place under ne of the belt buckles that are attached to large safety pin. By such a buckle the shirtwaist may be pinned firmly % the corset so as to lengthen the waist line to any desired point. The petticoats and dress skirt can be slipped underneath, thus effect- ually preventing the unsightly "shov- ing up." which most stout women find hard to overcome.
 sAsHEs FOR SUMMER
 The making of sashes to wear with her dressier summer frocks is always something of a puzzle to the novice in bow tying. The Empire effect is one of the latest and prettiest sash arrange ments. To copy the one shown requires 5h yards of ribbon, either seven or nine inches wide. This ribbon may cost, ac- cording to quality chosen, from 20 cents to several dollars yard. Moire and brocaded satin ribbons are both popular this season; also the pompadour effects and plain-colored satins and tafretas. I,ouisine Is used for rosette bows, but is somewhat fiimsy for the long ends.
 Tying a good bow is decided art. Tn the larger cities ribbon Is usually tied free of charge in the stores. but the practical girl should know how to make up her own sashes. To copy the Empire sash shown. first cut the belt length. then mark off one of the long ends and begin to work from that point. Holding the ribbon firmly In the left hand, measure one of the short upward loops, then measure long downward loop, make another short loop. then a second long one. and re- neat until the required number Is made. Fasten these loops securely by wrappinE with coarse cotton thread or a fine wire, such as the professional bow maker uses. and bring the ribbon loosely twice around the loops, slip ping the long end through to form a knot. Draw up tight and trim to the desired length. Where a third end is wanted it should be cut and sewed to the center of the bow before the knot is tied.
 The old-time Alsatlan bow is again in favor for long sashes. This should also be made. rather than tied. each time. The tying process is about the

City Tax.

City tax collector H. C. Moore has
also had a very busy time for four
days Of this week. There was not
such a rush as at the sheriff's Office,
but Mr.. Moore and his assistants
have waited on hundreds. the bulk
of the business, however. was done
on the first three days Of the week.
Mr.. Moore said yesterday that he
had not made his additions for this

proximate the am>unt. He said
that Thursday was not as busy as
the other days and the amount paid
in the way of city taxes was less
than $4,000. He is well up in his
collections for the year, however.
and it is probable that the delin-
quent list this year will be unprece-
dentedly short. ~

City Tax Collector H. C.
Moore Is Also On The
Move.

Sheriff David Smiths Office has
been the busiest place in town dur
ing the week up to a late hour
Thursday night. People in the
country especially had delayed COM
ing to town and paying their taxes
for 1907 and from every section they
came in large numbers to escape the
6 per cent. penalty, which went into
effect at IL o'clock Thursday night.
During the week up to Thursday
night the amount received by Sher-
if Smith for taxes, in round men,
bers, was S45, 900. Thursday S12,-
600 was paid.
The 6 per cent. penalty is now on,
and if delinquents will call and pay
what they ape owing only the prin-
cipal and 6 per cent. will be COL
lected. After the fifteenth of the
the present month there will be an
additional cast addred to taxes and
penalty, This is the County Clerk S
fee. Everything a man has is laiE-
lie for taxes, and the sooner taxes
are paid the better. There's no use
talking about the 6 per cent penalty
being unconstititional-the law is in
force and there no remedy.
