Revenues are raised chiefly from
tariff duties. No land taxes are levied
bv the colony. There is a very litfht
tax on realty in the parishes and the
proceeds are used for maintenance of
the poor.
There are no divorce laws in Her
nr:.la and only one breach id promise
.use was ever tried here. Most of
the cases on the calender involve bi
ych* stealing, assault, potty theft;
there is little serious crime, though
in a region where everyone rides ai
wheel the theft of a bicycle is regard
ed somewhat ns horse stealing was in
the West a few years ago.
There are old -timers here who have
never set eyes on a train or a trolley j

satisfaction of seeing flying-boats cir-j

Innovations of any kind are apt to j

GIRLS RI VING FI R (OATS
\S THEY WILL NOT RE
A RLE AFTER MARRI AGE
CHICAGO, June 20— “You should
hoar the reasons many working girls
tri\e for buying fur coats,” remarked
a ( hit ago merchant to the great num
ber of such purchases being made.
“(Mn* of the commonest is, Well, if 1
don't get it now before I get married.
1 never will afterward.” ,
The sight of so many handsome
furs coming to downtown office build
ings has led to the report that girls
are buying them on the installment
id: n. Not so in the main, according to
inquiry among merchants.
The furs that working girls buy on
installments, one house prominent in
this class says, are mostly of the
cheaper grades, averaging in pi ice

around several hundred dollars.
Now and then, said the proprietor
of this concern, a working girl making
a good salary comes in to buy a $400
or $f»00 fur. Her first payment on a
put chase of this size is required to be
$1T»0, $200 or perhaps more. She has
them four or five months imvhich to
meet tin* balance.
The inn of the stores however ask
cash in advance. True enough, many
have their own installment plan, but
this is quite different from the defer
red payment system usually associat
'd with real estate.
These deferred payments are “be
fore” rather than “after” getting the
foods. The working girl who sighs for
i handsome fur can go to a number of}
*f the big mercantile houses and select
he coat she likes, make an initial pay
nent and have it laid away while she
s completing a series of regular in
stallments. When she has made the
ast she gets the coat.
Many of the expensive fur coats
corn by working girls are bought by
fills who live at home with their par
nts, it is reported by furriers, and
hev add that frequently assistance is
riven from father’s pockethook.
While “now or never may be the
.cason that leads many young women
>n a salary to a fur coat, some mer
hants say that the high prices of oth
ir kinds of coats Is a very important
actor in these purchases.
