Among the many plads which have
been presented this season only few
are in small patterns. All of them
have been cleverly used by designers
IF childrens frocks and naturally
large plaids predominate in the frocks
rs In materials. But few of the mod
els excel the pretty dress shown in
the picture above, in which small plaid
In green, blue and little dash Of red
with crossbar Of white, is made up
with emplacements of plain blue.
The photograph tells the story of
the design so cleverly that n descrip-
ton seems unnecessary, but in the
small details of finishing, which mean
so much to the model, there are few
original touches not emphasized in the
picture. The collar of the plain mate
rial Is banded with darker border In
green and has border Of needlework
in which embroidery silk in the colors
Of the plaid proves effective In sim
pie stitches. The design Is inconsplc-
uous, but new. The same thing Is
true of the belt, which reminds one
of a quaint Swiss bodice, with its em-
placement of plain material at the
front Tiny buttons pNced on the
glrde at each side Of the front and Il

Ennland Levied First Income Tax.

The first income tax imposed in Eng
land was provided for in an act of par
lament 406 years ago to enable the
king to enter on war with France.
In 1898 Mr.. Pitt proposed and carried,
after great opposition, tax on in
comes "as an aid TO the prosecution
of the war" against the same country.
This law was repealed in 1916, but In
1912 Sir Robert Peel's income tax bill
was passed. The tax was doubled In
the Crlmean war, and has often been
increased to provide revenues for mil
itary operations. The United States
imposed an income tax in 1863 to carry
on the Civil war, In the same manner
that congress passed the latest meas
ure taxing incomes in the United
States to assist in financing the strug-
gle against Germany.

the Bolshevik lunatics in Russia. They

abdication OF the Kaiser ana the over
throw of his government, If the Allies
were concerned in what might there
after happen to Germany.
But all this was discounted as
clumsy militarist propaganda. It was

their part' to save themselves by in
