The Successful Business Adventures of Twin Sisters the Same Being Two Clever Alabama
 Girls Who Have a Knack of Tying Bow" and
 Sticking Feather at the Proper Angle on a Bonnet

People are born with a talent for trimming bonnets,'' Miss Myrtle told me, just as people are born with talent for music, or art, or cooking, or sewing; we have married sister who couldn't trim Christmas tree if she tried she is absolutely helpless and hopeless with the needle; she is talented in different lines, however, while out forte seems to be millinery.
 While many women are entering the business world on account of war condi- tions,' Miss Myrtle continued, business is not novelty to us; in fact, all the novelty has worn off now; we consider ourselves veterans in the business world; and"
 And before she finished, a string of people came into the pretty millinery parlors to be halted or millinered q like that word, too l don't know what it means, but I've sort of an idea), and so l had to leave, but not without taking my hat off (figuratively speaking) to those two clever young women who, by their genius and capability, their fine business acumen and genial personality, have established themselves in the com mercial world of this big city as one of the real assets of a thrilling, prosperous, community.

Montgomery. August 6.-(speciaL) i Many candidates for offices of senator and representative, as well as other minor places, have placed the wrong construction upon the corrupt practice | act, and have mailed to John Puriloy' secretary of state, sworn statements ] showing the amount of money spent during the campaign. These minor or l fices, Mr Purifoy said Monday, are not , included in the list of those who are required to send the statement to { Montgomery. This statement should go to the probate judge of the county in which the candidate is running. Candidates for high state and federal offices must send the statements to the secretary.
 The office force of Judge Purifoy got busy Monday morning looking over the expense accounts of several can didates. One of the most interesting or all accounts came from W. 5. OliVer unopposed candidate for Congress from the Sixth district. He spent just SZoV and in his sworn statement he explains this amount was spent for postage and registry charge in sending ah- nouncement to officials as required by law and by resolution of the state eX- ecutive committed" The statement came from Washington
 Senator John IT. Bankhead. in his race to defeat Capt. Frank S. White of Birmingham, has spent little more than half of that of his opponent. Sem ator Bankhead sent his account from Washington. It shows total expenui- lures up to August of $3,602.63. Cap tain Whites account, filed Saturday, shows $500 has been spent. The sav- eral items in Senator Bankheads &C., count follows: Advertising, $1310.so; stamps and stamped envelopes, $1S5S; clerical assistants, $31S.75; miscella- neous, s115.75. Country papers in the state got $525 of the total spent for advertising
 The statement shows that Senator Bankhead received no contributions, donations or gifts during the campaign.
 Harry T. HHartwen. candidate for Congress from the First district, up to August spent $1391.65 His opponent. John McDuffie, spent s144625. MT. Hartwell spent $535.92 for letters and postage, and $500.23 touring the dis trict.
 Hugh Dent, Montgomery's unopposed candidate for Congress, sent in blank expense account" He spent nothing in his race.
 Horace Gibson, who opposes w. F. Bankhead in the Tenth district, spent S524.6S. $350 of this amount going 70 the Advance, Birmingham weekly, for advertising and subscriptions. H. Figtzhugh Lee, candidate for state auditor spent $5S1, the statement showing $144.35 going for stamps.
 Wallace P. Pruitt, for associate jus tice of the supreme court, spent s60. Fifty dollars was for the qualifying fee, $9 for cards and $1 for postage stamps.
 When the campaign comes to an end each candidate must file another state- ment showing the amount spent from the time the first was filed. Candidates have until Thursday to file their first account
 Alabama is interested in the state- ments of the five candidates for the highest office in the state. The capitol attaches are still guessing to which candidate has spent the most money

| ~ OMETHING like 10 years ago-I aN started to say two twin sisters"
 ES isnT it funny the inclination you l like I always want to refer to a nice
 ''widow lady" when either word would lspecify what I'm talking about? But, anyhow, as I was about to say, some
 thing like 10 years ago there came to Birmingham two nice girls, and they
 were twins; they still are,s as for that matter. Their 10 years residence in Bir- minghaTn hasn't changed that fact. Their names both begin with the same letter.
 'M'-and end with the same Ietter-"E.' D No, this isn't missing word" con test, although it starts out looking pow erfully much like it might be- But here s the answer, the twin sisters are Miss Minnie and Miss Myrtle Harris, and the story of their successful business yen- ture dates back to the time, down in q little Alabama village, where these two nice young women were greatly beloved and greatly admired because they had (. little knaciS with them of doing things in just the right way. In other words, they knew just how to tie a bow ana stick feather on bonnet at the proper angle, and thus they went forth with their fortunes in their hands
 You know as well as I do that there are mighty few people who know how to tie bow and as for putting feather on a bonnet so that it will look like anything but parrot that's been loft out in the rain all night-well, maybe you can do this .sleight- trick, but I can't.
 I can't do anything like that, conse- nllaDtIU a 1irat in,, for n can scars high up in the skies, and envy them world without end for that God given talent
 Well, anyway, again back to my story, after this wild digression: 1 remember quite well almost the very day that the Misses Harris arrived in Birmingham and almost the day that the first little sign Was visible out in front of their tiny little esta tablishment, announcing Harris & Harris, Millinery"
 Men, of course.' I said to myself Can't you just see the kind? All dressed up. curly hair, little messy mus. tachios, highly perfumed--the men, not the mustachios-and suave and subtle. as French dancing masters!'
 But, 10 and behold my perfectly good Harris & Harris, Millinery gen tlemen turned out to be perfectly good Harris t& Harris, Millinery ladies, and now here comes the story.
 I went ir to see these nice young wom- en few days ago. No, they don't show pretty fall and winter bonnets' any more in that same little place that they opened in. but have emerged into an exclusive fourth floor millinery par lor," with lovely blue rugs and hand some paneled. mirrored doors and beau tiful showcases and things in one of the big bank buildings" of the city just like those exclusive little shops in New York. you know, where Madame" has a bonnet built to fit her face. 1 mean her head. Here I found the Misses Harris looking very prosperous and very happy and very business like
 Now, which was which, that told me what I'm going to tell you, I couldn't say for the life of me, for no sooner did

have Miss Myrtle placed, than Miss Minnie got in the way, somehow, and with little trick of shifting the lead from voice to voice, and there not being days, an hours and only few sec onds difference in their ideas, which are absolutely synchronized-almosr "Siam-esed" (don't you adore that word? thought it up all by myself, whats more). certainly was up a tres as to differentiating and so if I star. out saying Miss Minnie said" and sud denly shift to Miss Myrtle said" why you just please forgive me, because I can't forgive myself:
 Yes, we've been successful" Miss Myrtle started, and so I had her placed for minute, at least, "and we attribute it all to just the little knack we have; as children, we used to play at tying bows and making doll bonnets and things, and as we grew up, we continued it. and luckily so, for it has proven precious boon to us in business
 We have had the most wonderful pat ronage from Birmingham people, Miss Minnie, no, I believe this was Miss Myrtle talking now, "and we have built up a clientele of which we are very proud; our patrons tell US that they get used to our millinery; that we study their style and look after their interests and that they can't wear hats other people make or design.
 The war, of course, has caused a big change in busness,, said both of them this time; let's bunch our hits,' as they say in baseball, and let them both talk; :; sort of an ensemble, or something; and while women realize the necessity of be- ing well dressed and smartly hated be- cause they are more in the public eye than ever before, since they must be up and doing for themseives-out in the busf- ness world, since the men have gone to wai-still they demand lower priced hats; people can't afford in these times to wear high priced millinery. In fact, there's no necessity for it, because the millners are making prices to suit the times; the wholesale manufacturers are meeting the prices to the retail people and we in turn must do the same.
