First, that a cheap binding which must be re- placed costs more than a high-priced binding that wears, Second, that a binding which fades out is as bad as one that wears out. : Third; that an clegant binding adds to the ap- pearance of a skirt just as a handsome necktie sets off a waist. Fourth, that you cannot tell by the looks of a binding whether it is a good b?nding or not, and---" Fifth, that if you look forS.

Such stamps should be pre- sented for redemption by the owners thereof to the Collector of Internal Revenue whom they werg purchased, who will ‘supply the applicant with necessary forms and in- structions for the preparation of his claim. It is probable that regulations will be prepared and issued providing for the redemption of im- printed documentary stamps without requiring the destruction of the checks or drafts on which they are imprinted. The amount of stamps which will prob- ably be offered for redemption on and after July 1 cannot be calculated with any accuracy, but the officlals most famillar with* the subject estimate that of the classes of stamps for documents, checks, etc., from which the tax was entirely re- moved, the redemptions may aggregate $1,500,000. This estimate is based upon the assumption that the public will have on hand on July 1 one month’s supply. The articles upon which the tax was re- duced représent a very much larger sum, but in these cases the redemption will be in the nature of an exchange, although these stamps, like ‘the others, probably will be redeemed in cash, but other stamps, made to conform to the.reduc- tion in therate of tax, will be immediately issued, 8o that the net 10ss to the Gov- ernment will not be very large. On the basis of users having a month's supply of stamps on hand on July 1, 1901, it is es timated that the redemptions will approx. imate the following amounts: Checks and drafts, $600,000; documents, $400,000; p rietary, $400, tobacco and snuff, En.ooo; clgars - cigarettes, $2,000, beér, $6,000,000; total. $12,900,000.
