VOU must wear strings on the back
 or the side of your hat the coming spring if you would be strictly in the modish picture. The motor hat illus trated here shows you just. how chic the style is. The hat was developed in beige suede with 9 square crown and a narrow English brim. A band of beige grosgrain ribbon encircles the hat, with two ends falling over the brirn in the back. On the ribbon band are appIiqued Hat chrysanthemums of leather.
 Tn the center of the picture g novel collar and vest of lace arc shown The vest is buttoned straight down the front with tiny black velvet buttons and is finished at the top by straight high collar of the velvet. Emerging from the top of the velvet collar is a lace collar. which falls to the shoulders in the form of 3 cape.
 At the right is pictured a directoire collar of cream net with an embroid- cred border. It is cut off abruptly be- low the ear and held in place by an inch wide ribbon of black velvet, which closes with a single snap fastener be- heath flat bow of the velvet.

These newer neckwear styles, whish in the beginning seemed to be elry reaching in character, are now fas1- toned to turn over the collar band.
 Turnback cuffs and collars Of em- broidered lawn. batiste or linen are in splendid style position. They promise to continue their vogue until the next season and may develop along very charming lines.
 Bits of real lace, oddments of va1en- sciennes and other 1aces of this char- acter can be used to splendid advau- tage in making these new style couars and cuffs.
 It may be,that with the introduction oK the new style duaintnesses which char acterize the revival of ancient modes now dominating all style tendencies fashionable women will busy them selves. as did the women Of old, in making yards of hand henstitched houncing for the trimming of summer frocks or in whipping and rolling ruf- f1es made of very sheer linens for the adornment of their finer gowns.

corrected and gives Cyr second place. II.
Harrington of Gardiner with an average
of e9.2, had been given second and Cyr
of Lewiston in third position with an av-

to give Mr.. 'Cyr of Lewiston the credit
to which he was entitled, through a pure

as rectifed and shown in the summary
printed below, shows that Mr.. Cyrs to-

cess of ordinary expenditures over re-
ceipts of approximately Ss5,0o.Wo
against deficit of s24,0o0.0o0 on the same
date last year.
The estimated receipts for the re-

will amount to s2O1 100000, an excess OF
receipts over expenditures for the re-
mainder OF the year of s59,@N,otO. The
increases are due in part to the normal
growth of the Government. and in part
due to conditions arising out of the Eu-

He said he had devoted a week to
close conferences with Treasury officials
and arrived at the above estimate of the
deficit. which he added took no account

year, against deficit on March 10 Of
about SS5.o10G0
The receipts from practically every
source he added. have fallen below
the estimate, due to depressed business
conditions on account of the war in
Europe. Although the receipts derived
