NEW YORK. May 25.-Assuming

bureau of municipal research today,
that no woman needs more than two
hats a year. and that she can get
them for 1854 II she is single, or for
S13.31 II she 10 married.
Just why q bachelor maid can stake
herself to two hats for half what 1t
costs her married sister 10 left to the
imagination. Doubtless Friend Hus-
bands trousers pockets in the Silly

lem.
MARRIED WOMEN SPEND MORE.
Then, too. II may surprise most any
girl to find she should scratch along
with two dresses for the whole year.
a one-piece wool serge dress costing
&27.45, and afternoon or party dress
setting her back &27.95; total, $3.50. :
That is the budget for the unmar-
ried girl, and 1t allows her two pairs
of shoes year. q low pair costing
s7s6 and a high pair at $s.36.
When IL comes to married women
the municipal research experts are
quite willing to let her spluYge to the
extent OF a wool suit. $3.50; q wash
skirt, $4.25! two cotton dresses At 81
cents for the pair; four house dresses
Of gingham at . total Of SAT-, and

The bureau decides . single woman

clared Richard Lieber, director of con

Mr.. Lieber pointed to Lake county
as liberal educational factor in that
it teens with Industrial life, and YET,
three miles from the city Of Ham

such game as quail, rabbits and squir

waters Of the region abound with
aquatic life and that section Of Hoos-
ierland is known far for its excellent
piscatorial sport. he says.
The fact that Lake county offers un-

reason OF its abundance of small wIi1
life, presents an unique situation. MT.

ton Is inter-racial and its many resi-
