INCOME TAX FACTS

PREPARED BY BUREAU OF INTERNAL REVENUE
INCOME TAX FIGURES YOU
SHOULD KNOW.

RRIDEGROOMS are worrying as to
how they shall figure their income
tax. A constant stream of inquiries
from the newlyweds is reaching the
internal revenue officials. In many
Of these cases both the bride and
groom were employed up to the we'd
ding date; and the principal point on
which advice is asked is as to whether
the brides income must be shown on
the groom's return.
The answer as given by the inter
nal revenue men is that all of the
earnings and other income of both
the bride and groom for the year 1919
must be considered, even if it was all
spent as trousseau, diamonds, wedding
trips, and bonbons. The fact that
they were married on or before De-
cember 81 joins them for the whole
year, so far as income tax is con-
cerned.
A bride of 1919 is in duty bound to
figure up her income and to add it to
hubby's 1919 earnings to determine
whether an income tax return is re-
quired. If the total was $4,000 or
more, return must be made; in
which case both bride and groom may
file separate returns, or must file a
joint return. The latter method is
preferred by the collectors, unless
the aggregate net income of both
husband and wife is $4,000 or over.
And they all want to know whether
although married only part of the
year 1919 they are entitled to claim

fur. The plain hat Is I'm bright
colored duvetyne
A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
Asst year the full length fur coat
seemed to be the only one that
women here were interested in, and
more than one woman who had bought
shorter coat in August took it back
10 the furrier to have it heightened out
Tor winter wear. One of the reasons
given for this vogue for the full length
lur coat was the severe winter weather
mat we had here in New York. How
ever, If you could have seen the preva- =
lence Of the most transparent sort of
silk stockings with thin -soled, low cut
pumps and slippers you would not have
thought that smart women here allow
the weather to be the main considera-
lion In determining their fashion.
This year, although some full
Iength coats will be worn, the shorter
sort will also have vogue. There is
more width in the lower part of these
shorter coats, and there is in general an
amplitude in their construction that
means the use of many additional pelts
10 their makeup, likewise an added
dollar or so to the price.
There was one type Of fur coat that
was worn with amazing persistency last
winter II was the wrappy type of gar
ment, with deep shawl collar that
crossed in the front, the ends terminal
ing at the waistline. Now the shawl
collar is still good, and many will ap-
pear IN the new fur coats, but there is
something distinctive and newer about
collar that is different. In the baby
lamb coat sketched today there is q new
and smart disposition of the fox fur
with which it is trimmed. In the col
ar II Is placed like an old time boa, one
emo, trimmed with ball, hanging free
AZ me front. The sleeves, wide at the
cum Ike most of the new wrap sleeves,
aIe trimmed with band of the fox,
which also marks the pockets.
