heart sank.

ergy. In this connection, the department
cites the case of girl in q government
department, who, with the aid of the cir
culars and extension work of the agricul-
ture department, was very successful III
keeping her wardrobe supplied at com
low cost, one half in fact what
the same clothing would have cost ready
made.
How To Get Your Model.
To begin with, she got department
circular telling how to make dress form
by pasting layers of gummed bundle
paper over a tightly fitting
vest on herself as a model. When the
paper casing was cut off and fastened
together, she had light stiff and perfect
reproduction of her form. So it was not
necessary to purchase store figure.
The girl reported that her latest ward
robe cost her only $10S for clothing
conseryatively estimated to be worth
500 at store prices. With the aid OF
her paper form she made. for $24.6l,
tan broadcloth winter coat with good
lining. such as she saw priced at $50 in
the shops A blue voile dress with
slip, cost, including trimming. 81 ;O9. A
tissue Bingham dress, with organdie for
trimming and also hemstitching, cost
1888: with scraps and a remnant she
made another Bingham dress for exactly
40 cents.
Social Dress For SIC.
For $40 she bought materials to make
a pussy willow taffeta and georgette
crepe dress for social occasions, which,
she said, she could not duplicate in
quality at store for less than $50. Her
business dress of serge and crepe de
chine would have been priced at $40 or
more if made of the good fabrics she
bought for $3.50. Her evening dress,
also, of taffeta and silver lace, cost only
SOL although it was modelled after one
seen at a shop at a much higher price.
This wardrobe, augmented by two
dresses for which materials We're bought,
brought the total up to $10S.34, is not
elaborate, though sufficient for the needs
of the wearer, it was said, and, having
a variety of clothing she was able to
attend many social functions she other
wise would not have.
Without the dress form, the girl re-
norted. ii was doubtful if she could have
duplicated her achievement in the time
at her disposal; but she not only had
time left over for other activities but also
to make 10 such forms for other girls
and to hold classes to teach many others.

Sans department of agriculture does

LEGATION of the department declares that
the business girl. with a reasonable
amount of zeal and talent, can use part
of her spare time to such effect that she
can cut in half her clothes bill.
In the first place. says the circular, it
must be granted that the important way
to reduce costs is to eliminate az far as
possible the items of labor and distribu-
ton In other words, the business girl
should make her own clothing, otherwise,
unless she's a wizard at nosing out bar
gains, she stands little chance of reduc-
ing her clothing budget.
The business girl may claim, says
Uncle Sam, that she has not the time or
energy left after a strenuous days work
but a skilled sewer who enjoys sewing as

TOTAL EXPENSES OF
 THE GOVERNMENT

The total expenses for govern lneent in 1921 wre $4,168,225, IG9. The total expenditures for government in 1914 were S1,- 22,125, 1895. The increase of ex- penditures for 1921 over 1911 being $3,146, ,1O0,974.
 A little study of these figures will show the tremendous in crease in the cost of national goN arnment, and account in a large part for the increased cost of living, forsthe people have to pay the expenses of government, and they are collected principally by taxes on. what the people must buy, and as these are usually ad- sdin with the purchase price the purchaser seldom knows that he is paying one-fourth fol goods and three-fourths for tax, and that of this tax over four fifths is for war and less than |one-fith for all other expenses of government.
