FINANCE BOARD
 MEETING TODAY
City Expects to Collect $4,078,35O on l94O
 Grand List

The board of finance was to meet in special session at o'clock this afternoon to pass formal votes in regard to the tax on the 1889 grand list, which falls due Wednes- day May 1. The board will charge the tax collector, Humbert Man gini, for the amount of taxes due this year.
 With a tax rate of 32.5 mills on an estimated grand list of $166,- 500,0OO, the city hopes to collect $4 ,987 ,359. This figure is based on new charter requirement. which limits the estimate of tax collec- tions in the the budget to 92 per cent of tho total.
 Ma14y early payments of taxes have been made, according to Tax Collector Mangini. Even a. week ago, collections averaged $20,000 a day, and the figure has shown a large increase since that time.
 Most heavy taxpayers pay the en- tire tax bill in May, though the second installment can be delayed until the fall. By paying in full, they gain a discount.
 The charging of the taxes to the tax collector is required by law. and must be done before May l each year.

New Fall Hats Tell
An Exciting Story
Command Attention With
Play and Brims.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Hats have gone dramatic in the
story they have to tell. The large
hats command attention in their dar-
ing play upon brims. They go to
extremes in abrupt flares and pic
turesque ways of dashing up to one
side In smart profile silhouettes or
darling right up from back of your
pompadour until the head looks as
II framed in a halo.
Some wide brims are pleated, 9TH
ers are rippled like big shells, and
some are scalloped about. The
best dressed women are choos-
ing to wear these dramatic black
felts with their new black outfits
while others are topping their color
full tweed costumes with huge
brimmed bright felts and suede hats.
This season suede is the big idea
for millinery and accessories.
In direct contradiction to the wide
brim vogue are the cunning little
pompadour bonnets that look so
quaint you feel they are copies di-
rect from bygone daguerreotypes or
have been snatched from the pages
of Godey's magazine. The amusing
part of it is these bonnets are more
of a young folks fashion tbs fall
than for the past-forty Glass;
Between wee bonnets and broad
brims there are all sorts of man.
ners of chapeaux on the millinery
program, such as berets that fare
up audaciously as to startle at first
glance. Large and medium brimmed
Bretons remain in the picture. They
are too 1attering to cast aside light
ly. Some of the seasons smartest
felts are BretonS.
The return of the pillbox is evil
denced also. Draped turbans vie
with wide brims so far as dramatics
are concerned. They are draped and
twisted in novel and versatile ways,
the newest models towering to great
heights above new-fangled pompa-
dour hairdress.
