"But joking aside" Birsky said, "the
United States was able to pay it's bills
before they had an income tax and
everybody was satisfied, whereas now
adays they don't raise no more money
by it and everybody is kicking, so what
is the use of an income tax anyway?'

Attractive Blouse.

Most blouseS have a bishop sleeve,
whether they are in linen or silk or
chiffon. A good model in linen, with a
high collar opens down the front. The
loops and crocheted buttons start at
the neck, but are not buttoned till a
low decollete is reached. The blouse
fronts are outlined with several rows
Of soutache braid. Black silk ribbon,
which runs under the waist over the
shoulder, energies to view in front and
falls in a long tasseled end below tn
waistline, passing under the belt. A
band of this ribbon, encircling the cuff
shows only on the outside. The wrist
rutles RI encircled with the soutache.

In Woman'S Realm
Fancy Combs and Other Hair Ornaments Are of the Most Brilliant
Materials-Tresses of Every Hue Shown off to the Best
Advantage by Their Sparkle-GeorgeOuS Fans for
Midwinter Everywhere in Evidence.

We use the terms "silver" and "am-
Der" and tortoise shell" quite reckless
ly in talking of fancy combs and hair
ornaments, but we really mean things
that look like silver and amber and
tortoise shell. Real silver is labeled
sterling" and real amber or shell or
naments are seen so infrequently that
it is not often necessary to describe
them.
The original patterns of some of our
combs and ornamental pins are made
of real Jewels and other precious
things, and the limitations differ so lit
tie from them in appearance that the
great difference in price is not worth

rhinestones lend the necessary sparkle
These combs are worn in the hair in
many positions.
With no sensible reason for flourish
ing in midwinter. and with the incon-
sistency of things feminine, fans are
just now In the zenith of their popu-
larity. They are bits of splendor that
give the finishing touch to winter toll
cites, and they become especially en-
ticing just before the holidays. Just
now they are more in evidence in the
shops than they ever will be in the
hottest of midsummer weather.
The prices asked for the new fans
are rather outrageously high, but,
measured by their beauty, money is
something to forget. All the corner
Of the earth are called upon to furnish
the materials and the art that produce
them. They are limitless In variety,
and most of them sparkle and CLEAN
and flash and please with lovely color.
