Whether II lie that the American So
ciety woman, owing to her late hours,
when she reaches a certain age needs
a little artificial touch here and there
to restore her fading bloom. or from
whatever cause II may be, the fact un-
fortunately remains that she does use
a little judicious makeup. Now, as
this seems TO be a necessity. why not
use this makeup as her French sister
does, who has II down to q Ane point

Il is intended. II she is a brunette. she
gets powder and rouge for brunette.
while IL she is a blonde she buys
blonde materials. The first phase OF
the performance Is to thoroughly wash
the face with little soap on soft
rag, In very warm water; then dry
with a soft towel. Then II II is day
time she goes to the brightest window
and by aid of her hand glass applies
this rouge, which is in liquid state.

are all that are needed. The same
routine is applied to the night make
up, the only difference being in the
materials used and these can always
be bought OF any good chemist.

Gently, were given a hearing to-day BY
Commissioner OF Internal Revenue WIS
son, on the subject Of the alleged dis-
elimination in favor Of express eSnipa-
nles in the matter OF the payment Of the
special war tax imposed upon brokers
and bankers for dealing In exchange.
Last spring, under an opinion OF the at
torney general, based upon q 9ecislon
OF the supreme court, the commissioner
held that the domestic money orders
and travellers checks Issued by ex-
press companies were In eject ordinary
checks and not exchange, within the
meaning OF the law and that for their
Issue express companies were not Ia
BILE to the payment Of special tax.
Against this ruling the bankers and
brokers take no exception, but they ar
gued that in the lssde Of foreign money
orderds and travellers checks, they
were selling exchange, and were liable
for the tax the same as bankers ana
brokers' Another point made against
the American Express Company is that
1t buys and sells foreign money. The
law provides for the payment Of the
special tax by bankers and brokers buy
ing or selling Exchange, coined
