Spanish Silhouette for Sprino

The Spanish silhouette keeps steadi-
ly in the foreground and all signs point
to it as a feature of spring styles.
Just what is the Spanish silhouette?
It includes the trigly fitting bodice and
f1aring circular skirt, the loose bolero
jacket with fringed sash. the high.
clOse-fitting collar, the distended hip
in dance frOcks, the profuse use of en-
b1Oidery on costume. 1t brings in the
curved under-arm seam and the slight
ly curving though 1.-the hipline 1t is
expressed in tall combs for the hair
and in long flowing wells. The toreador
sailor with rolled back hrm is an
other feature of the Spanish silhouette.

IN LATEST KNITTED DRESSES
High Collars Are Feature of Some
Garments; FuIlness at the
Shoulders Is Noted

High collars are seen on several of
the new knitted dresses. One model
is made with a broad turnover collar
that may be worn very high or low,
The dress is in gray, knitted in self
stripe with bag panels at the sides,
and collar and cuffs made of tartan

wise to apply the tax to them at this
time He said it might be difficult to
collect this tax, which is s. annually and
retained by the various towns and cities
from some women and you couldn't
send them to Jail as you do men who fail
to pay" Moreover, he said many hus-
bands might have to pay the tax bills.
AS the hearing was about to close
and up to that time Mr.. Bailey had been
the only person to appear for or against
the measure, Mrs William II. Duning
and Mrs. r. NJ. Dadourian of this city,
Legislative chairman and legislative sec
rotary of the Connecticut League of
Women Voters, but who appeared as
individuals, arrived at the hearing. They
favored extending the personal tax to
women, but suggested exemptions, pos
sibly in case of mothers. The commit
tee may possibly call a later hearing, if
the women legislators wish to appear.

STATE SAENGERFEST
JUNE II AND e

The first state sacngcrfcst since 1916,
under the auspices of the leading Ger
man-AmcriCan singing societies of Con-
necticut, will be held in Bridgeport June
p and %. During the war the annual
meeting in some Connecticut city for
prize singing on a large scale was ADAM
doncd for four consecutive years. Now,
however. the old custom is to be re-
sumed.
The Saengcrfcst has always played an
important part in the musical life and
development of the state by reason OF
the friendly rivalry between the various
societies. There is no German-Amer-
iCan singing society in the state that
does not pride itself on its cabinets OF
trophies, elaborate stems, statuary. silver
cups, etc. all vivid reminders of past
trmnphs in competitions for state prizes
In the days before the big drought"
descended upon the land, the winning
OF a prize meant big celebration in
the soCictys clubhouse, with walters
Juggling foaming mugs to the tables and
an orchestra playing 'kunstle Leben' or
'Weiner Blut'' and every one Waiting
until daybreak
The following societies are planning
to compete in Bridgeport: First class,
ConCordia. Waterbury: Hartford Saen-
gcrbund. Hartford Maennerchor; sec
ond class, Germania, Bridgeport, Arion -
I'anbury: Harugard Liedertafcl, New
Haven: third class. Turner Liedertafel.
Stamford; Arion, Bridgeport; Teutonia
Macnerchor. New Britain; Deutscher
Verein, Ansonia: fourth class, New
Britain Quartet Club. One of the fea-
lures OF the Saengerfest will be the
masscd chorus of 900 voices under the
leadership of Fritz X. G. Weber of the
Hartford Sacngerbund.

WOMEN WANT TO
PAY PERSONAL TAX
Appear Before Legislative Com
mittee and Ask Equal
Share With Men.

Hartford, April 1.-"NIcn should fight
the battles of life for women" Repre-
sentative ]. I'ranin Bailey of Durham
said in appearing before the legislative
committee on finance in opposition to a
bill which would impose a personal tax
on women. AS first selcctman Of my
town for nine years I've seen that every
penny of the personal taxes were COL
lected, and I've even had a man sent to
jail for not paying them, But | don't
believe a personal tax should be applied
to women"
When the hearing on House Bill No.
725, providing for the extension Of the
personal tax to women, who now have
equal franchise rights with men, was
called members of the committee ex-
pressed surprise that not a single woman
legislator was on hand.
The women have right to all
privileges 1t would seem that they'd
wish to bear their share of expense"
Senator Trumbull, chairman of the COM
1nittec, remarked.
Representative Bailey said many
women had not welcomed suffrage, al
though most Of them had voted when
they were enfranchised. He believed
any measure extending the personal tax
to apply to them should be DELAYED at
least few years.
Tax Commissioner BlOdgctt said that,
as a matter of principle the personal
taxes which are collected by the towns,
should be applied to women. AS mat
ter Of policy, he added, it might not be

AN INNOVATION IN Innings
bingham Fabric for Interior of the
Summer Cape or Coat May
Prove Acceptable Style.

We hear of satin capes shown at
the Paris openings that were lined
with a soft pile fabric like duvetyn.
These must add materially to the
warmth of the garment.
And have you heard of Bingham
Innings? This is a new idea, but after
all why should not gingham make as
good a lining for a summer cape or
coat as satin or peau de cygne or
chiffon?
WHO would ever have dared to use
unbleached muslin for the lining of
coats and capes? No one in the world
but one of the smartest of Paris dress
makers. Apparently this is merely a
bit of daring and not done in an effort
toward economy, for the unbleached
fabric is used to line the most gorge
GUS and luxurious of garments.

STATE TO RAISE
ATTENDANCE GRANT
Towns to Get 81 for Each Pupil
Enrolled in Public
Schools.

A favorable report has been made on
Representative Pcrsianis bill increasing
the average attendance grant from s.
to 81 pupil in public schools has been
made by the legislative committee on
education. The decision carries approval
of an appropriation Of $1,606,0OO to
finance the bill during the next two
wears, an increase OF $540000 over the
amount asked to finance the So average
attendance grant passed two years ago.
AS there is already before this lcgisla-
ture a bill for an appropriation of
$l,15O,OOO to pay for the So average at
tendance grant provided at the last SEES
sion. but made unavailable through the
inadvcrtent omission Of the estimate
from the budget, the total of requests
before the present session for average
attendance grants is $2,84O,0OO.
Upon advice of the state board of
education, local school authorities pro-
cccdcd under the 1919 law notWithstand-
ing the lack OF state appropriation, on
the ground that the present legislature
would be morally bound to reimburse
them. Secretary Meredith of the state
board has filed with the appropriations
committee a certificate showing that
$1.145,724 will be needed to reimburse
the towns.

ONE-BUTTON COAT
New Spring Garment Is Marked
by Its Simplicity.
Costume Just Warm Enough for Cool
Days, Light Enough for
Summer Wear.

The spring tailored suits are charm
ing; admirable in outline as in de-
tail. III the world Of classic suits
may be found long coats which are
shaped to the figure without being at
all tight.
These coats are essentially becOm-
ing to tall and slender women and
girls. 1t cannot be said that they are
equally becoming to women of full
figure, but then we have many other
models-notably the smart sack
COatee.

~ prove useful is very simple and yet
so original and chic that it might be
worn on any occasion. The coat was

Show Neckwear Novelties.

Among the dainty ct ceteras that
add so much to the smartly attired
woman, are many delightful neckwear
novelties. Particularly pleasing are
the plated ruches of colored organdie
that are worn closely about the neck.
They are designed especially to be
worn with a fur coat and the dark
dress. Besides giving a delightful
touch of color to the costume, they
really perform a very important mis-
sion when worn with the fur coat. for
they prevent the fur being rubbed and
also protect the neck.

PRE-WAR PRICES ARE
NOT POSSIBLE NOW

Washington, April If prc-war
prices were established. it would double
the nations debt, declared Henry c.
Wallace the new secretary of agricu1-
ture, in statement on the agricultural
situation.
"This talk of bringing prices, whether
farm prices or other prices, back to the
pre-War normal is morally wrong and
economically impossible" he said I'VE
incurred heavy national debt on the
inflated prices. If we could force all
prices back to the pre-War normal (Which
we can not it would be equivalent to
just about doubling that debt We can
pay off our debts much easier if we main
tain a price level more nearly the level
at which the debts were incurred"

10 conference had changed 1t 80 as to
make repeal Of the excess profits tax
and the income surtax rates In excess
Of 50 per cent effective next Jan. !,
instead Of last Jan. /. This change, on
the basis pf previous treasury esti-
mates would result in the corporations
and individuals with large incomes
paying to the government In the next
calendar year something like 500. .000.-
600 more than they would have paid
had the administration plan Of making
the repeals retroactive prevailed.

timated by some majority members of

$So0,00O.00O as against approximately
$550,0O0,00 planned by committee Re-
publicans and the total tax yield at
about $8, 200 100000.

House 80 az to make corporation In
come tax 12h per cent after next Jan.
/, instead Of Is per cent as originally
planned and the manufacturers tax on
cereal beverages 8 cents a gallon In.
stead Of II cents.

q devoted to amendments Of the ad-
ministrative and definitive sections Of
the present law, which were drafted
by treasury experts with a view to
