Tax Arrears
Are Less Than
Ever Before
Continued from page y

recent years: 1923, 22.30 per cent;
1922. 16.45 per cent; 1921, 1892
per cent; 1920. 22.45 per cent.
"Had the Title Insurance and
Trust Company, trustees of large
tracts of land in the northern end of
the county, paid the second Install
ment of their assessment. our per-
centage of uncolected taxes would
be much lower said Assessor
Barry today. i
tOf the $500, ,033.75 remaining un-
collected on June 30, a considerable
amount has been collected during
July and more will be received dur
ing the present month, so that by
September l, we expect the greater
part of this balance will be in the
district s treasury.
"Particularly pleasing to the as
SCISSORS office, is the fact that the
collections balafced evenly Barry
continued. Last year. due to the
niixups occasioned when the court
ordered a change in the tax rate,
we had nine cent difference that
we were unable to check off for sew
eral months. This year there was
not the slightest difficulty in this
connection, and the accounts bal
anced perfectly.'
The total collections for the year
from July /, 1924. to June 80, 1925,
was $2,201. .S76.0S. The records
show that many who have allowed
their assessments to lapse in former
years, have paid up their back taxes
and current taxes and in the opin-
ion of Assessor Barry, the financial
condition of the taxpayers in the
district is better now than 1t has
been for several years.

Of golf, says a Paris fashion writer
in the New York Herald. 1t is cut on
the lines of a mans Overcoat, double
breasted with four or six buttons, slit
up the back, eithet plain or with a
tWo-lnch belt just across the back to
the side seams. This Is made in fancy
English suitings and tweeds and Is
principally seen in shades Of brown,
pepper-andsalt or beige.
Attractive and likely to attain a
real vogue are the little sports suits
shown by Yteb in her midseason open
ing Of winter fashions. Made of all
kinds Of warm wOOlen fabrics, mostly
with rough surface, they have short
little straight jumpers that leave off
abruptly just below the normal waist
line. They have a wide hem at the
bottom on which is placed a line Of
small buttons at the center front.
These buttons are carried on straight
down the center of the skirt, which
has its inverted knife plating in the
front on either side of the row of
buttons, giving a line that is new,
practical and very effective.
The jumper type Of sports costume
is often turned into a three-piece by
the addition Of a shoulder cape reach
ing to about the base of the hip line,
fastening with narrow cross-over
double strap underneath. Straight little
jackets, too, are often worn, made of
the same material as the skirt which
may be of tweed, duvetyn or kasha.
After long vogue for the group of
narrow knife plaits at the side to give
fullness, the new sports skirts are
made in wrap-over envelope fashion
with only one wide plait at the side.
For the woman who drives her own car
these skirts are made with wide box
plaits in front, stitched down for some
six inches from the waist and then
left free. This is a very practical mode
and is becoming as well.

Directoire Period Is
Factor in New Fashions

In spite Of many predictions that
they would not achieve success, the
models inspired by the fashions of the
directoire period are distinct factors in
the modes of the present season. In
the majority of cases they are adapta-
tions taken from the picturesque cos
tunes worn by the men of that period
and they have been so skiIlfully modi-
&c that they are quite in harmony
with the modern spirit
The interest in things directoire has
revived certain colors long absent from
fashion. One finds tones of burgundy,
of bottle green, Of rather violent
purple and Of a dull gold that are
reminiscent of that particular period
and the smooth-faced cloths and high
lustered satins suggest the materials in
favor at that time.

Blue for Evening Wear
Is Much in Limelight

Smart coats of velvet of various
cloths trimmed with light-colored fox,
are features of the mode. White foxes
dyed light blue, or a wheat shade
known as BILE are also used on these
coats.
Evening gowns are mostly of velvet
or chiffon, heavily embroidered with
beads, and revealing much use of gold
and silver combinations. Almost all
shades of blue are expressed in gowns
for formal wear.
