Dear Sir.--Y our favor OF the 18th
instant received.
The tax law recently enacted by
Congress provides that:
9 Each policy of insurance or
other instrument by whatever name
the same may be ca led, by which
Insurance shall be made or renewed
upon property of any description (in-
Guiding rents or prof1ts), whether
against peril by sea or on inland wa
ters, or by fire or lightning, or other
peril, made by any person. assocIa
ton, or corporation, upon the amount
of premium charged. one-half of !
per cent on each dollar or fractional
part thereof
Il understand that all Of the fire
insurance companies In this country
are taking the ground that the tax
Is upon tsae policy and not upon the
company, and that it must be paid In
each instance by the assured. l,
therefore, hold that it would be un-
awful for an agent Of an insurance
company 10 pay out Of his own per-
sonal funds the cost OF the stamps
required by law to be affixed to fire
insurance policies. it being a violation
of section "a of chapter of the
Insurance Law, which provides that:
No agent of any insurance COR
poratlon shall make any contract for
insurance or agreement as 10 such
contract other than that which Is
plainly expressed IN the policy issued
No insurance corporation or agent
thereof shall pay. or allow to offer to
pay, or allow as an inducement to any
person to insure any rebate of pre-
MUM or any speca, favor or adyan-
tage whatever In the dividends to ac-
crue thereon, or any inducement
whatever not specified in the policy

TAX, Says BUTTON
UNLAWFUL FOR INSURANCE
AGENTS TO AFFTX NECESSARY
STAMPS AND PAY FOR THEM
OUT OF HIS OWN FUNDS.

Insurance agents may not pay the
special war tax on insurance policies,
according TO an opinion expressed
yesterday by Commissioner of Insur-
ance Joseph w. Button. in reply TO
numerous inquiries from agents.
Commissioner Button had received
number of letters asking the same
question and yesterday in response to
one OF them he wrote that he 'olds
that ut would be unlawful for an
agent Of an insurance company to
pay out of his own personal funds
the cost of the stamps required by law
TO be affixed TO fire insurance poll
cies"

n lever was any material lovelier
IN than is the crepe Of the season.
II is shown in the most exquisite
oolors and in wonderfully beautiful flow
cred effects. This gown shows it used
most effectively with the little chemisette
portion and neck frill of plain white net.
HE skirt that is drawn up at the
front takes wonderfully graceful
lines and the pretty little tunic
flares over the hips in an unusually attract
i've manner. As shown in Figure A. the
edge is simply hemmed but it could
be trimmed with a little frill Of the
material with a silk cord over the seam
TO intensity the fare or it could be bound
with plain silk. for such treatments are
much in vogue. The blouse shows the
new raglan sleeves that are so well liked
this season. II seems especially well
adapted 70 the costume Of two fabrics
but. as matter Of course. the sleeves
could be made to match the main por-
tions II desired. In fact. the same model
could be made TO take a very different
effect by making the blouse and tunic
Of figured net and the skirt Of tafeta.
finishing the lace edges with bindings Of
silk: or, If lighter. daintier little summer
frock is wanted plain and embroidered
voiIe could be used after the manner
illustrated.
NOMBINATION costumes are among
the smartest Of all things this
spring and Figure B shows flow
cred crepe with taffeta. two materials
greatly in vogue and which are used
together in many Of the newest and
handsomest models. The skirt is one
Of the prettiest Of the peg top sort with
the drapery taking graceful lines and
folds and the blouse can be made with a
peplu . to give a coatee effect or without
It as is more becoming. Instead of the
crepe and taffcta could be used plain and
broche crepe or taffeta and moirt silk or
any pam hiatciiaA Win a ukufcu ouc'
SO Iong as the materials are soft enough
to drape gracefully. the essentials win be
found. For the early season. the sill
and cotton duvetynJ are liked for the
little coatees and one Of these would b
charming over taifeta. crepe or any con
trasting material. For the theatre an'
occasions Of the kind. brilliant colore,
bodices OF the kind are used with skirt
Of quiet tone. Yellow, blue or greer
would he pretty for this coatee over I
skirt Of white or smoke gray or the new
sand color that makes a foil for every
thing bright and gay. The skirt is mad,

GO many materials are to be found in
plain and in fancy effects that
combination costumes are easily
produced this spring. Figure c shows
one made of silk and wool ratine that is
of light weight and exceedingly hand
some for spring wear. In place Of the
fancy material could be used a checked
or a stripedsmaterial If similar effect is
wanted or one could think Of the entire
model made up in taffeta with only the
chemisette portion in the blouse Of con-
trasting material. Again the skirt is a
very good one for the coat suit or for
wear with separate blouses and, however
fashionable the costume may be. the
separate blouse fills needed place. For
such use, fatine or poplin would make a
good material for the skirt, which is cut
in three sections stitched together at the
depth Of the hens. For the separate
blouse. chiffon, voile. net. marquisette.
crepe. all Of the pretty materials Of the
kind will be found suitable. If a very
dressy effect is wanted it could be made
Of shadow net over a lining of colored
maFquisette or chiffon with the vest por-
ton and the fronts Of the collar Of silk
matching the lining in color. If some
thing very plainiis wanted. cotton voile
can be used for the main portions with the
same material embroidered for the vest
and collar The sash that matches the
costume makes feature Of the spring
and pretty one but when the material
is not suitable. ribbon or silk can be sub
stituted or any preferred girdle can be
worn.

THE cotton crepes are marvelously
beautiful, many Of them showing
embroidered designs in. coloring
that. while suggestive of the Cubist idea,
is modification thereof. Figure D illus
trates one Of the prettiest and best made
into a fascinating costume. The seams
Of the japanese blouse are all corded. with
plain silk that matches one. Of the coiors
found in the design and the. gindle is a
harmonizing ribbon. The model could.
Of course, be reproduced. in silk crepe
the taffeta for which there isisucii a craze.
or charmeuse satins or the skirt could be
made Of heavier material, the blouse Of
a thinner, as tafeta with lace, or crepe
with chiffon; or. to maintain the costume
idea, the lower portion Of the blouse
could be Of the material of the skirt while
the upper portion is thinner.

TICURE Z shows simple. yet pretty
blouse. worn with skirt Of eponge
and the skirt shows drapcry over
one hip. The model is an excellent one
for the odd skirt, for the gown and for
the coat suit, so that il serves a great
many purposes. The eponge is undoubt-
edly a good material and iavorite one
but nothing ever takes the place Of serge
and gabardine is having great vogue this
season, and both are durable and ser
viceable materials adapted to hard usage.
For more dressy skirt. broadcIoth. peau
de souris, peau de peche and taffeta make
good materials and Il Is difference in ma
terials. not difference in cut and style.
that marks the character Of the costume
This blouse Is made from cotton voile
with collar and cuffs finished with hem
stitched edges but there is something Of
a tendency toward the use Of color for
the trimming portions and pretty effect
could be obtained by the use Of bright
orange. bright blue or bright pink for
the collar and cuffs Of white blouse. If
net. chiffon or other thin material is used,
the collar and cuffs can be made double
or they can be bound with bias strips Of
silk, either white or colored, for all these
treatments are in vogue and the finish
Of the blouse frequently makes It's smart
ness.
HHE surplice blouse shown in Figure
can be worn with a peg top
skirt Of wool eponge and the
color Of this eponge is one Of the new
tans which same color reappears in the
flower design Of the crepe, for, however
simple the costume. for whatever pur-
pose it is designed, Of whatever material
il is made. il is smarter for conveying
the costume suggestion. Everything with
a crepe finish is fashionable and embroid-
cred crepe is very charming for the blouse
but. as matter Of course, the material
can be varied almost indefinitely. The
skirt makes good model both for the
gown and for the suit. Il is cut in one
piece with the opening beneath the over
tapping front edges. For the entire gown
Of one material. both blouse and skirt
could be made of taffeta with hchu collar
and cuffs Of net or fine handkerchief linen.
Lingerie material finished with hemmed
edges is one Of the newest and best liked
materials for such trimmings.
