THE TWENTIETH CENTURY GIRL.

Oh. the twentieth century girl!
What II wonderful thing she will bel
She'll evolve from a mystical whirl
A woman unfettered and freel
No corsets to crampen her waist.
No crimps to cucumber her brain;
Unafraid, bifurcate, unlaccd,
Like goddess of old she will reign,
She'll wear boomers amatterof course!
She will vote, not "a question of doubt;
She will ride like a man on a horse;
At the club late at night she'll propose;
If she chances to love, she'll propose:
TO blush will be quite out of date;
She'll discuss politics with her beaux
And outtalk her masculine mate! 4

The combination of the two fads for

The imitation Dresden ware. called
Coalport, appears in all sorts of toilet

the prettiest novelties is rolling blot

individuals Fairly Prompt. but Cor
pOrattons behind In Returns.

Collector-of-Internal-R Ryan re-
ports that Mr.. Charles II. Johnston. de-
putty collector. who is employed on the
income-tax work, visited Washington
hst week and spent some time In the
income division. While the construction
OF the law in the Richmond office has
been right in the main. Mr.. Johnston
found that the department was ruling
differently from the Richmond construc-
ton on certain items under the head OF
legal deductions. In other words. II IL
understood that some people will not be
able to deduct all that they had expect
ed.
Mr.. Ryan says further that individuals
liable to the income-tax have been fairly
active In sending In returns. although
many well-known persons OF large in
comes have not yet been heard from. IL
Is believed that considerably over half
Of the corporations have failed to make
returns up 10 this time. Only one bank
in Richmond has made returns. lndi-
viduals and corporations have until the
18th OF April but the Collector hopes
that they will come forward with as
little delay as possible and thus prevent
his force from being overworked In
April.

out 10 his room-n.ates for assistance.
