The American Woman
Is Creating the Future.

She seems to us TO personify the Joy OF
living. While we Frenchwomen are still too
restrained. too much under the spell OF a
deliciously mighty past. she is only interested
in the present preoccupied with the future.
and with a justiHable and passionate faith
with a practical vehemence she knows the
great role that she Is called to play In the
future destiny OF woman. she knows that she
belongs to an elite sex, she believes only in
her mission and in her ultimate victory.
Suddenly the American woman has taken
her place, a preponderating place IN the life
OF Paris. Suddenly she has imposed on us
her personality, the legend OF her trium phs.
II Is not merely. in fact II Is scarcely at all.
through the money that she often possesses
that she has thus triumphed. II Is before all
because she represents a new feminine type.
an image Of an extraordinarily clear sculp-
tural relief, type that is unique and
passes in intensity all others.
Her dresses show an assured taste, at
tractive but considerably different from our
own. Among our fashionable dressmakers

served for American women. II would be i'm
possible to define exactly OF what this differ
ence Is made up, for IL IL only a note. but a
note which reveals the taste for invention. for
novelty, for audacity, which harmonizes ada
mirably with the proud beauty OF the Ameri
cans.
Yet many American women to-day seem 10
renounce this peculiarly native note OF their
elegance this tendency to exteriorize the au-
dacious and captivating side OF their char
acter. They are perhaps trying to be Euro
pean. ! think II Is a great pity.
Some OF them seem TO like TO wear neutral
colors and show preferences for navy blue, for
white. and for black | regret rather these new
ways OF seeing things. Navy blue is indeed an
amiable and practical color. but Il loses much

To-day I viii keep TO these few summary
outlines Just TO show my American readers
what a contrast she makes with the American
woman. "the new woman" who has suddenly
arisen in a mighty country. healthy, bold. posi-
tive. thoroughly human. who imposes on the
world new energy.
The contrast is striking
While the Frenchwoman. as I have indt
Gated. makes Il point OF dignity not 10 reveal
herself and 10 remain in the "half-nghts," the
American woman finds her dignity in free
dom full OF ardor. full OF potent charm. full OF
magnificent impulse. She produces the IL
lusion Of saying everything that she thinks.
everything that she feels. everything that she
desires I say Illusion" for in whatever
country one may be, "the eternal feminine"
preserves certain indehnable complexities.
which most often secrets even for herself.
But this luminous frankness is nevertheless
a great benefit. for the women of the old world
run the risk OF losing in too many subtelties.
in too many complex dreams. the clarity and
European eyes. impressed with gentleness and
melancholy, the American woman appears in
spired by nature herself, entirely saturated
with the original virtues OF humanity, deter
mined to carry her will and her instincts TO
realization.

PARLIAMENT IS ID
 CONSIDER REVENUE
Income Tax Expected to Fur nish Large Funds to Brit
 ish Government.

London, Sept 13.-When parlia- ment reassembles tomorrow its prin- cipal concern will be schemes of new taxation to help in providing for the expenses of the war.
 An increase and extension of the in- come tax is expected in most quarters and possibly new duties on luxuries of various character
 Other taxes which have been sug- gested are upon railway tickets, theaters and motion pictures, auto mobiles ard carriages, and employers of domestic servants.
 But the greater part of the half billion dollars CT so which the govern lnent hopes to add to it's annual iI- come will come, according to the well 1 informed, from the income tax. Mos authorities are agreed that the in come tax must be broadened. The minimum of exemption presumably will be lowered.
 It is estimated that the total in. come of tho inhabitants of the British Isles is $12,O0O,0OO,000 year. C1 this, less than five billion dollars is now assessed for taxation. The !IeW legislation is expected to reach al least three and a half billion dolla rs more. For the small workman, it IS possible that the collection of the tax may be made in weekly installments, by means of stamps affixed to a weekly war tax card.
 With the notifications of the in- come tax which Reginald McKenna, chancellor of the exchequer, is ex- pected to introduce into the new bud- get, will come an opportunity for a general revision of the method of col lection.

ROBINGTON MOURNING.
 HIS HORSES AND CASH
Miller Is Missing, So Are Three Equines and
 Some Money.

Sam Roblngton, the we'll known horse trader, is a sorrOwful man these days and the cause of his grief is due to what appears to be one of the finest flim-fam he ever received. Sam is a horse trader and is supposed to be one of the craftiest. But Sam is not evidently as foxy as he or many of his friends have supposed for some time.
 The tale of the deal in which Sam figured is as follows: Some time ago Richard F. Miller, also known to many persons who engage in the business that made David Harum" famous, bought a number of horses from Patrick Condon of Bristol, for which he made a small deposit. He shipped the animals to this city and began dickering for their sale or trade. One of the first to examine the horses was Robington, who took three of the steeds and traded like amount and $125 to complete the bar gain.
 Sam at once began to make hay while the sun was shining, so he dis posed of the animals to local people, among them. man by the name of Shapiro. He was chuckling with glee over the excellent business he had
 
 of what was to follow.
 In the meantime MT. Condon on not receiving the money for the horses from Miller, decided to take the animals back so he secured a re- plevin and an officer came to this city, and, on learning of the transaction between Miller and Robington, inn mediately made demand on the latter for the horses.
 Robington was in bad fix just about this time for he didn't have the horses and so informed the minion Of the law, but after the latter had become insistent that the claim must be settled or the horses returned by Miller, search was made for him. But Miller evidently had fitted by the light of the moon for he was con- spicuous by his absence.
 The constable then insisted on the return of the horses so he went with San to the parties to whom he had swapped off Miller's horses and took possession of them and took them back to the Bell city.
 Now Sam is figuring out just how much he is out by the deal for all that he is minus is $125 and three horses which he prized highly. Efforts to locate Miller have proved futile, and the tenement formerly occupied by his family on East street, it is said carries a ''To Let" sign. It is also rumored that the horses which Sam gave to Miller in the trade were sold by Miller in New Haven under the hammer last week.

Committee on Consideration of His Vetoes Was Appointed Last Week
 But Kept Dark.

Despite the cloak of secrecy that Mayor George Absent Quigley has at- tempted to throw around himself if became known today that he had a1- ready appointed a committee of threa to consider his two vetoes rendered at the last meeting of the common council The council passed a motion by Councilman Landers that the com mittee be appointed to consider the vetoes and also to consider a resolu- tion offered by Councilman Orson Fight Curtis, calling for the rejection of one of the vetoes.
 The committee consists of Alderman Albert Anderson and Councilman Err nest l.. Tech and Frank l.. Conlon. Thinking to keep the matter deep secret from the newspapers and also with the intention of keeping his op- ponents in a beclouded state of mind, the mayor refrained from making the names of the committee public, there- by having quiet laugh all to his hon. orable self But he whose laugh is the last laugh laughs a longer and louder laugh and the Herald learned the names today. It is said the com- mittee will meet this evening.
 It is not known just what Council man Curtis expects to furnish in the way of surprises at the September meeting of the common council We'd nesday evening but it Is said that he has been quietly working on a secret trail and those who are close to him say he has an ace concealed up his sleeve.

OFFICER SHOOTS
 AT FLEEING MAN
Policeman Massey Finds Stranger on Porch of Whittlesey Home on
 West Main street.

Residents of West Main street and Grove Hill were awakened from their sleep at 2:1O o'clock this morning by the sharp bark of revolver and few minutes later by the sound of the po- lice patrol in the street and police- men scouting the neighborhood.
 While patroling his beat Officer Michael Massey discovered a strange man on the porch of the home of Frederick Whittlesey at 279 West Main street. The man had every ap- pearance of burglar intent upon ef- fecting an entrance He fled at the officers approach and a shot from the patrolman's automatic failed to hit the mark.
 Officer Hellberg and Sergeant George Kelley hurried to the vicinity in the patrol but a thorough search of the neighbrohood failed to locate the man. It is thought possible that the stranger may have been the same one who burglarized B. B. Eddys West Main street home last week.
