blouses and each time we are con-
WINGED that they are the lovliest ever

Of selecting blouses begins, and is
never settled once and for all. We
gather them in at short intervals,

Handmade blouses, elegantly de-

And they are among her prerogatives,

TRIBUTE TO DESERT PINES
Well Called Boon to Mankind, Flour.
ishing in Land Where Vegetation
Does Not Thrive.

They are strong, those pines. Their
soft and low-toned converse is the
pent-up quietness Of force.
Their shade is dark and cool, tt.eir
every whisper music, their green a
blessed thing, and the aid they give
to man is far beyond all computation
in land where other forests do not
thrive. They are not cheerful in a
common way; their looks are somber,
and their shade too deep. But there
is quiet, a reposeful peace beyond
light joy, and when you seek for that
the pines stretch forth their shadowy
arms to fold you closely in.
They rear their dark green shoulders
up above the gray green chaparral, saw
ing the country from the stain of being
but waste of brush. Where an old
placer dump would lie an ugly scar on
natures face springs up clump of
straight brown boies holding aloft
thick plumes of long green needles,
browning the bare and rocky mound
with shafts of sylvan beauty. They
are not pretty-far too big for that.
Their steadfastness, their calm, I'M
swerving growth, will shame all little
ness, and where the giants of that
mighty race rear their proud tips In
lofty majesty, drinking in sunlight
from the blue toward which they are
advancing, or where they stand like
warriors of old against the fiercest
blows, there weakness may not COM
fortably dwell nor aught of littleness.

TuIIe for the slender.

1t is somewhat of gift to know
ones limitations, but if you happen to
be stout, don't try to look like a rose
or. butterfly. Use little will power
and cut tulle and airy materials out of
your wardrobe. Have you ever seen a
stout woman sailing along the street
with wind-inflated silk dress? From
a distance she looks like a circus bal
loon that has landed in the wrong
place. Flowing military capes should
also be debarred from the stout wom-
ans wardrobe. These garments are
hard to wear and none save tall, slen-
der women, with beautifully graceful
carriages, and young Red Riding Hood
types of girls look well in them.

Many of the new organdie and other
sheer frocks are made with hens so
deep as to meet midway from the
ankles to the waistline. This makes
the frock set rather better than other

the lower half of the skirt, and also

TAX ON YOUR SEAT
At CABARET TABLE
But Boy Who Capers Into
Park With Fouled Ball
Can Dodge Levy
YOU PAY NOW j..
FOR FOOD AND FUN

WASHINGTON, June s5.-When in
doubt collect the tax, is the broad in
depreciation the Internal Revenue Bu-
resu has placed upon the application OF
the 10 per cent. levy on admission 10
places OF amusement. ~ least This Is
the construction drawn from a series OF
regulations governing the tax issued to-
day. The government assumes that an
admission" price Is a bona ilde price
for the entertainment provided and Will
collect the tax for every charge That
sayors OF an entertainment fee.
To make this clear, comprehensive
regulations are laid down governing
cabarets TO which patrons gain admis-
sion for a nominal sum and really pay
for their entertainment in the high
price OF food.
1.-The admission tax" the bureau
holds. "applies>to places where charge
for the use Of seats, tables and othey
similar accommodations" As an exam
Pile the regulations state that where
$40 is paid TO a hotel to reserve a table
for celebrating New Years Eve the
amount is paid for admission within
the meaning OF the act. Where seventy
five cents is paid for general admission
to o CIRCUS and flfty cents for a re-
served seat the tax is on the total. In
the case Of cabarets where the price OF
admission is included in whole or in
part in the price OF refreshment or
service the tax is one and one-half
cents for each ten cents or fraction
thereof OF 20 per cent OF the bill.
"a similar tax is imposed where the
admission fee TO the cabaret is consld-
cred inadequate with the entertainment
offered. Following is the example OF
fered in the regulations:
a certain man goes 10 a cabaret
where there is a general admission
charge Of twenty-five cents. The enter
tainment provided is very elaborate and
this Is reelected in the price OF the food.
His bill for food comes 10 Si2.sI In
this case there is an admission tax Of
three cents on the twenty-five cents
paid for admission. But as this amount
is clearly inadequate there is also a
tax OF fOrty-eight cents twenty-five
times one and ohe-eighih cents, based
on the amount paid for the food"
The boy who returns a ball batted
over a fence, admitted free TO a base
ball park, need pay no tax. He is
classed as a bona ilde employe. Others
in this class are the oiflcers~and direc-
tors Of the club corporation. members
Of the home team and substitutes, tick
et sellers. newspaper reporters and tel
agraphers who cover the game, boys
selling peanuts and pop boys sell
