MAKE FOR CONTRAST
C.:= ..-.SON WHY GAUZES RE-
MAIN POPULAR.
Combined With Silks or Satins They
Give the Effect Just Now So
Much Desired-Nove!ties
Among New Materials.

Transparent materials are Just as
prominent anon the new fabrics as
they have been for several seasons
past. And from all advices to this
hour. it seems that veilings are to be
in quite as strong favor for fall and
winter as they were for spring and
summer. So long as the overskirt
remains-and it is even more popular
now han 1t was three months ago
fabrics Of contrasting material will
continue to appear in the wardrobe
And what is so effective In contrasts
as silks or satins with gauzy weaves!
One Of the fancies for the next sea-
son will undoubtedly be the yelling OF
brocades with chiffons, m~ousseline and
thin marquisettes. Some of the new
procades provided for this use are
passing lovely. Many Of them are
shot abundantly with gold in actual
metal or colored silk, and the CLEAN OF
this metallic effect will greatly en-
nance the richness of handsome
gowns. Some chiffons are shot with
tinsels or are embroidered with 1t.
Embroidered effects among the trans,
parent materials are abundant
For simpler gowns, the chiffons and
their kind will continue to be used
over stripes and checks and over
changeable silks.
There are a good many novelties
among the new materials n Of
them is a velvet of tweed efec IL
the two-toned shot appearance of thu
sturdy wool. The result is not happy,
but 1t is fashionable, which is thu
next thing. Changeable effects appear
not only among tho new silks. bu
a~bundantly among the woods, ever IL
the heavy suitings. And many OF tn
two-toned woods which are mixed Of
one side and are plain on the othe
are shot or fecked with bright colors
Some of these color schemes are yer,
effective, Dark tones with touches o
bright color seem to be very mucY
liked by the t~ailors, who are buying u
pieces in which they predominant a
fast as they come in. The double
faced satins are here once more an

and capes for the fall with the unde

ratification OF
THE INCOME TAX
The Measure Favorably Acted Upon
BY Twenty-six States-Nine More
Are Needed.

New York, March 22.-Nine more |
states must ratify the proposed federal |
income tax amendment before it can |
become a part OF the constitution. Re-
ports received here from the capitals |
of the 46 states show that the amend
ment has received favorable action in
the joint legislature of 26.
Three states, Vermont, Rhode Is
land and Utah, have refused to ratify
the amendment at this years legisla-
ture while New Hampshire has taken
favorable action in one branch of the
legislature only. Among the 16 which
have not yet acted this year the ques-
ton is now pending in the legislatures
of Louisiana, New York, Massachu-
sets, Maine, Connecticut, Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey.
The matter is scheduled to come
before the legislature of Florida next
month. West Virginia has post
poned action and the states of Arkan-
sas, Tennessee, Wyoming, Minnesota
and Delaware have not considered the
matter.
The Amendment passed Congress in
the form of a resolution on July 8,
1909. 1t seeks to add to the constitu-
ton a new article, No. XVI, reading as
| follows:
1.-THE Congress shall have power to
lay and collect taxes on incomes, from
whatever source derived, without ap-
portionment among the several states
and without regard to any census emu
meration.'
The constitution provides that pro-
posed amendments to become valid
must be ratified by three-fourths of
the states. There is no hint to the
time of such ratification and negative
action by a legislature is not conclu
sive, state having the right to re
verse it's judgment.
At the close of 1910 the amendment
had been ratified by only Alabama
Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Mississip
pi, Oklahoma and South Carolina
while last year the legislatures o
Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Yorl
, and Rhode Island refused to adopt i

"T'S THE MAN"


A little over year ago a Detroit
man, aged 40, traveller for New
York hat manufacturer, made applica-
ton to a Cleveland office specially
selling organization for a road posi-
ton. His excuse for giving up his
then present position was that, by
reason of the seasonable character OF
the hat line he was able to travel but
four months in the year; he had been
making $4,000 in commissions and ne
had in mind that if he could travel
more he could make more.
The man who handled this appica-
ton did not look beyond the man
age. He turned it down.
Since then the man has been earn
ing $4,000 a year travelling for a
Pittsburg plumbing supply house, and
the Cleveland office appliance concern
has since made three attempts to en-
ploy him, says writer in Harrison's
Magazine.
And, by the way, the one who hand
led the application was a young man
The calendar is no measurement OF
age nor ability.
A man who has husbanded his
strength and experiences for the full
ness of days is rightfully general Il

young men around him.
