GETTING AWAY FROM WRINKLES.
Something That the Home Drsss.

One Of the perplexing and annoying
little dimculties that beset the home

exaggerated new styles. Other furs, of
course, may also be made over, but as
such muff. when well made and of
good material, is not inexpensive, 1t is
not considered wise to use half worn
fur in trimming it, unless such fur is
of the more expensive kinds.
For young girls these large fancy
muffs are especially attractive. In the
drawing is to be noticed charming
set, muff, hat and collarette, suitable
for young girl. Panne velvet in a
charming shade of blue is used for hat
and muff, the trimming being white
fox. The collarette is of the velvet,
made into three plated ruches and
tied at the side with a bow of satin
ribbon.
Ermine bands are most attractive
used on muffs of the shape shown in
the Illustration. This fur sometimes
seems to look more effective when
used in bands for the trimming of hat
and muff than when it is used alone
On certain shade of soft and rather
light brown velvet the narrow bands
of ermine on muff and hat are most
attractive. Mink or sable-sable, il
possible, of course-is also most at.
tractive on brown velvet and satin.

OF intense. peculiar and particular in

t~aurants who elect to keep the!e wraps
with them rather than check them. is
the suit brought against the Hotel Ma
yarre Company by the Reichenthaler
Brothers. which Judge Malcolm Mac
Lear has decided in favor Of the de-
PENDANT.
According to the story developed in
court, William, Irving and Pinhus
Reiehenthaler entered into a contract
whereby the Navarro Hotel manage
ment agreed to lease to them the check
room privilege on condition that they
furnish two bellboys. one serving man
and their w assistants. The plaintiffs
were required TO put up 9 bond of 5000
to safeguard against theft OF checked
articles and to pay an annual rental OF
500. In return they were to receive all
the tips. and it was apparent from a
clause IN the demand filed by the
plaintiffs that they expected to clear
more than $50 a week.
The contract, which went into effect
October /. had continued but little more
than a month when the Reichenthalers
were turned out of the hotel, bag n

that there was a clause in he contract

10000 JERSEY
FIRMS MUST PAY
new EXCISE TAX
Internal Revenue Office Sends
Out Notices and Blanks
to Companies.

A consignment of copies of the laws
and regulations relative to the excise
tax on corporations. Joint stock COM
panies, associations and insurance
companies, together with an assortment
of blank statistical forms, were re-
ceived today by the local internal
/ evenue office for distribution to the
10000 or more corporations in the
northern part of New Jersey, the dis
trict covered by the local office. The
arduous task of classifying and filing
the multitude of corporations whose
principal place of business" is located
in any of the eleven counties covered
by the local office, has been at last
completed.
The entire office force is now engaged
in mailing to each corporation a copy
of the regulations n the blank forms
to make an authorized statement or It's
capital, profits and net income.
Many inquiries have been sent to the
local office asking whether it will be
necessary fer the firms affected by the
new tax to make an inventory of their
business. The holding. of the local
office on this point is that to properly
make out the blanks called for by the
regulations, a thorough inventory is
necessary.
All of tie firms affected by the law will
have received their copies of the regu-
lations and blank forms by January /,
if the expectations of h local office
materialize, A statement of the totas
income of each corporation that will be
assessed must be made, according to
the regulations, under the oath of the
president. or other responsible officer.
If the statement os found to have been
falsiffed sweeping powers are given to
the internal reyepue department for the
prosecution of the offender. A revenue
agent can examine the books of the
corporation; and the corporation can be
summoned before a circuit court on sub
poena OF the revenue officer.
Anoth + point which has been the
cause of = uch inquiry concerns the
Sc, 900 income limit of corporations. II
the total income of "a corporation is less
than $1,000 no excise tax can be levied.
But a full return, certified in every de-
tail. must nevertheless be made by
such corporation to the revenue office.
Corporations are classified by the new
law under five different heads, for each
of which there is a separate blank form.
The ella ssification is as follows: Finan-
cial and commercial, class l; public
service, class 2; industrial and manu-
featuring, class 3; mercantile, class A,
and miscellaneous, class 8.
All statistics must be in by March 1.
The local office will then submit this
information to the authorities at Wash
ineton. The tax will be assessed by
June 1 and becomes due a month later.

Adams court.

property was left to the exclusion OF
the children Of the first wife, who died
In 1865. testified today that on the day
his fathers will was drawn he a

was doing.
1t is contended by the ten plaintiffs
who are the issue of the first mar

conscious for a week preceding his
death. in July, 1908.
This is strongly denied by DR.. Don

will was drawn, which was also the
day of his death.
1t is expected the jury will receive

suit,
