EMBROIDERED BOW TO BE pop
ULAR.

With the approach of summer the
girl who embroiders lays in a supply
Of neckwear. She knows she cannot
afford to buy all she will need to meet
her varied wants. so she utilities odd
moments. equally odd scraps Of mate
rial. to make stocks, bow ties, jabots
and turnover collars.
ored shirt waist and charming ones can
be made with little work. Odd bits OF
fine art lines or sheerer handkerchief
linen and lawn, scraps of Irish inser-
ton and small ends Of Valenciennes
are all that is necessary In the way Of
materials.
For the bow ties It is well to cut
the ends in one piece. making up small
stiff bows for a background and hold
ing them together with stiff, overlap
ping folds Of the material. Such bows
can be taken apart for laundering with
but few minutes work.
Small stiff bows not more than two
and half inches across are better
style and more becoming than flaring
effects. Among some of the new de-
signs that most girls could copy with
out seeing are arrow-shaped points
worked on the edge with an eighth of
an inch buttonhole' stitch and filled in
with graduated rows of eyelets, one or
the point. then two, three and four to
row. Pinch in quite narrow in the
plated frill Of the lawn edged with
lace. Most of the stiff bows and art
linen tabs are made up with only the
buttonholed edge, but occasionally they
have narrow Valenciennes lace slight
ly gathered around the ends outlining
the shape.
As very little lace is needed for
these tabs, it is nice to use real VAL
enciennes, as it launders better than
the limitations. The deep tints of Ger
man Valenciennes is better than the
French varieties.

A SIGN OF IMPROVEMENT.

The treasury department in May
counted up nearly nine and half more
millions of business than they did in
May, 1908. and the deficit of $5,40S, 900
was considerable less than what was
expected.
For the eleven months of the fiscal
year now completed the receipts of
the national treasury have fallen short
of meeting the expenditures by $s7,-
s5s,10z. There is yet an available
cash balance in the treasury Of $751;
s79.764. and Of this s4o,329,o0o is a
workable balance.
1t cannot be disguised that the Ding
ley bill is insufficient to meet present
expenses. New sources Of revenue
must be found and it would be, indeed,
a sad mistake if the tariff measure in
its complete revision and acceptance
should fail to provide the revenue re-
CURED to meet expenses.

FANS.

Fans of all kinds have never been
more luxurious than this spring. Large
feather ones are being carried with
sticks OF pearl or carved ivory. Some
are of tortoise shell closely inlaid with
an arabesque design of gold.
The combination of the dark shell
with the gold is extremely rich. The
plumes are large. soft ones of a pale
shade to match ones gown or of a
creamy white.
The majority who cannot indulge in
things quite so costly as those are car
rying lace ones.
These web-like affairs are built
perhaps more for their beauty than
utility. But when it is only a. ques-
ton of a fan, what matter so long as
ii is beautiful?
There are those with silver filigree
sticks combined with pointe de Venise.
These are distinguished and have
fc und great favor.

THE rEN-MlLL TAX.

Cikmen Charles 2. Thayer declares
that a 1o-miIl tax win not meet the
current expenses of the city, although
it is Only about four years ago that
he was telling the people that he could
meet municipal expenses upon mills
that they were sufficient, and with
the ownership Of public utilities it
would go to mills and mills. and
that finally Norwich would become a
taxiess city. Since that notable day an
attempt was made 10 run the affairs OF
the city OF Norwich on s-miil tax and
the result was a floating dabt Of $780,
600; and since that time the tax has
been as high as IL mills.
The Bulletin said mills was not
suf1cient, and II we go on increasing
the permanent expenses as we have
for the past six years 1t will not be
long before Is mills will be as insult
cient as was the e-mill experiment.
The popular tax levy is 10 mills.
and tho republican proposition is to
carry the city down to that and
through on that II the citizens will
keep the appropriations In accord with
these figures. To vote appropriations
Of IA mills or Is mills when the tax
levy is ten mills spells In plain Eng
lish that IL cannot be done.
II rests with the citizens. If they
are satisfied to keep within the bounds
there 10 no question as to the ability
of the authorities to do It; but II
they vote in city meeting for improve
ments which cost more than this an
addition to the floating debt must be
the result.
It is up TO the catizsns to beep this
within bounds.

OF all novel, artistic and altogether

general appearance, is the best.

thing at her afternoon teas this COM

HOW TO PRESERVE YOUR HUs-
BAND.

First, be careful in your selection.
Do not choose one who is too young.
and take only such varieties as have
been reared in a good moral atmo-
sphere.
When once the selection is made, LEI
the past remain forever settled, and
give the entire thought to the future.
Some insist on keeping the husband
in a pickle, while others prefer hot
water.
It does not seem to be generally
known that even poor varieties may be
made sweet, tender and good by gar
nishing then with patience, smiles and
affection.
They should then be wrapped in a
mantle Of charity and kept warm with
a steady line of devotion.
Thus treated. they will keep for years
as when first selected.
Sometimes they improve with age

USE PLATED SILVER AT SUMNER
HOME.

For those who have cottages at the
seashore or country it is good idea
to provide plated silver to use while
there.
This obviates the necessity Of taking
costly family silver. and in summer it
Is relief not to have the rare and re-
sponsibility of heirloom and valuable
plate.
There is nothing so tiresome to the
housekeeper as the endless thought for
expensive adornments, and when for q
few months in the year she may rest
she should have the opportunity to
profit by the chance.
At the present moment there are on
sale in the shops MANY sets of very in
expensive plated silver which looks
very well and yet is not of intrinsic
value.

HIGHER RATES FOR CITY LIGHTS

The straight statement made in The
Bulletin that the gas and electric COM
mission had advanced the price OF
electric arc and bug lights to the city,
while 1t claims to have reduced the
price per kilowatt to the people to a
point reached in but few cities in New
England. was not touched by Citizen
Thayer.
1t is strange when electricity has
been so literally reduced to all con-
sumers that it should be increased in
price to the city itself IL this a meth
cd OF making up from the tax funds
for too low rate given to consumers?
There must, Of course. be some rea-
son why the price Of city lights should
be raised, when other lights are re-
dnced in price. The cheapness Of the
csrrent sold 70 the city by the Uncas
Power company accounts for lower
rates than ever for the people; but
this can hardly be accepted as the rea-
son that the city should pay. a higher
rate for all its street lights.
The Bulletin claims that the street
lights should be relatively as low as
other lights, and that the cheaper cur
rent having warranted great reduc-
tion, the price to the city of arc and
bug lights should be reduced instead
of increased.
1t will pay the citizens to look
sharply after this matter. Justice is
what Citizen Thayer stands for: and
let US see that Justice is done to the
city as well as to the individual pat
ron.

AN INJUSTICE CORRECTED.

Citizen Charles 2. Thayer tells the
taxpayers that the increase of Super
intendent Bogue's salary to $4,000 a
year was q case Of tardy justice-that
It should have been made that price
long before.
II may be SO, for II takes time and
money and close application to be-
come a competent electrical engineer;
and considering the incumbent's ex-
pert training in the democratic party,
who can complain at so complete a
justification OF the act?
Having made this affirmation, what
need was there of saying that II would
not have been done had SuperIntend-
ent Bogue been kept on the gas and
electrical commission? II It is Just
that the superintendent should have
such an increase in pay, why should
he sacrifice the salary for a position
Of trust without pay? If Citizen
Thayers premises are right. the re-
publjcans did good thing in choos-
ing his successor.
II the Inference 10 be drawn from
this statement is that Superintendent
Bogue as a commissioner could not
honoranly have favored the increase,
1t is all bosh, for doing justice to ones
self is as commendable as being just
toward others.
Why should It be said that the new
commissioner Is responsible-that the
act was republicans If it were really
reprehensible. after he has declared it
TO be case Of justice too long de-
Iayed?
With the permanent city expenses
80 largely increased that It seems i'm
possible to do business on a 10-mill
tax. II does not appear TO The Bulletin
to be good policy to increase these
permanent expenses In the gas and
electrical department, or any other.
There are electricians here in Nor
wich who would have been glad to have
taken the superintendency for the SAL
airy paid before this increase was made
and they are men who have been
trained to the business.
II It is just to the superintendent. It
Is not just to the taxpayers to in
crease expenses without their consent.
