Miss Elsie De Wolfe in her rather
short career has played many parts
first society woman then actress for a
short time. then interior decorator with
an enviable reputation on both sides
Of the Atlantic. and now she Is the
first woman to fight the new income
tax.
Speaking Of the injustice of this tax,
Miss De Wolfe said recently, II made
my money. and I'll see If the govern.
ment can take away u percentage Of
1t that Is not in proportion to that
taken from those with larger incomes"
This is the defense of Miss De Wolfe
to the United States. She has brought
y test case In the federal courts which
is expected to have farreaching eff
feet.
Miss De Wolfe says that she never
inherited dollar and all that she has
has been spun by her own brain. II
think. then" said Miss De Wolfe. that
the great fortunes Of the country
should be taxed in proportion to that
Of the woman who makes her own for
tune. am simply questioning the le
gality of the government deducting
from my purse"
Miss De Wolfe in her early work was
associated with the late Stanford
White In the decoration Of the Colony
club. the fashionable womans club of
Gotham. She has done work for Miss
Anne Morgan and other we'll known
people Of wealth and cultivation.
Twenty years ago Miss De Wolfe
and Miss Elizabeth Marbury. another
successful business woman. began liv
ing together In the old Washington
Irving house in New York city. which
the former transformed into an ideal
home. TO this establishment they
eventually added the villa Trianon. at
Versailles. France. which since Mr.. j.
Pierpont Morgans death his daughter
Anne has shared with Miss De Wolfe
and Miss Marbury.
This is also wonderfully beautiful
home which has excited much interest
and where the three ladies' live as
bachelor maids. The two acres Of the
Villa Trianon adjoin the park Of
Versailles. In the deed there is very
interesting clause reserving a right of
way to the king. The old lease goes
back to 1850.
The "salle de verdure." or outdoor
drawing room. is Miss De Wolfe's
especial Joy. and she regards the trel-
lis which surrounds 1t as her best
piece of work. 1t Is a bit of old world
beauty in the shadow Of the mag
nifcent palace Of the grand monarque

Announcing an Engagement.

"What Is a pretty and novel way Of
announcing an engagement" asks q
correspondent whose love affair has
eliminated so happily that she wishes
to tell her friends of the gladstone
news. II am going to entertain about
twelve of my friends at dinner Sat
urday night and want to make my en-
gagement known to them. What IL
the best way to do it?"
An original and rather clever idea
was carried out recently by newly
engaged girl. an idea which could be
copied with very good effect by any
one in the same happy situation
or course you have heard the express
sion 'all in a nutshell" Well. the
hostess took this us her motto and de
termined to give her news away "all
