POPULARITY OF THE
TEA HOUR INCREASES

Five o'clock ea,"-that mystic
rite 80 redolent of charm and intim-
acy which makes the hour at dusk
the pleasantest Of all the hours OF
the winter days-is becoming more
and more popular. This is quite
apparent from the fact that Paris
Is lavishing so much attention on
her tea-gOwns. All sorts. from the
simplest chiffons and satins for the
home TO elaborate brocades and rich
velvets for restaurant wear are be-
ing brought over TO this country and
in Harper's Bazaar several OF the
loveliest have been sketched.
Softest black satin forms one for
your own freside. Long tight sleeves
TO the wrists end in narrow bands
of ermine,-the straight neck-line
gives rise to a standing collar Of the
finest, fairy-like lace which would
make any throat beautiful. and
down the back to the Slim belted
waist line hangs a panel OF flesh
crepe de chine. edged with delicate
embroidery.
Much more elaborate is one OF
blue satin combined with vivid Per-
( sian brOcade and yelled IN blue
georgette. Brilliant bands OF the bro
cade edge the loose three-quarter
length sleeves and the double tun
les while a dull gold cord defines the
waits.
In contrast to this Korgeousness
is one Of exquisite simplicity. Dia-
phonous white geOrgette in soft.
clinging lines forms II, yelling the
arms In graceful panel-like sleeves
and ending IN a long sweeping train.
A low girdle Of gold lace. a bit at
the deep V of the neck and again on
the train. are the only touches Of
Ornamentation.
For restaurant wear there is a Sc
verely simple gown of black velvet,
straight as to neck line. and slim az
TO silhouette. with only the iniest Of
sleeves. An enormous bow OF the
same material at the left side gives
striking note which almost makes
che gasp.

PAPEETE, Tahiti, Jan. 15.-In-

long pictured native Tahiti women
as wearing few clothes, when, as n
matter Of fact. the average native
woman's dress is a Mother Hub

The impression has got abroad
that beauty unadOrned is one OF the

one Tahiti resident said recently.
LAS a matter of fact we see that

tween $4,000 and $4,000, and per cent
on the amount of his income between
$4,000 and $1,000. The wife receives
no personal exemption, and her entire
income of 1000 is taxed at the rate OF
per cent, being less than $4,000. The
husbands tax is $270 and the wife's
$50.
Exemptions Not For All.
Not every married person is entitled
to the $4,000 exemption. The claim is
dependent upon whether man and wife
are living together within the meaning
Of the revenue act. In the absence of
continuous residence together, whether
a man or woman is living with wife
or husband depends upon the charac-
ter of the separation.
If occasionally ana temporarily the
wife is away on visit or the husband
is away on business, the joint home be-
ing maintained, the $4,000 exemption
applies. Unavoidable absence of wife
or husband at sanatorium on account
Of illness does not preclude claim for
the exemption. If, however, the hus-
band Voluntarily and continuously
makes his home at one place and the
wife at another, they are not living TO-
gether within the meaning Of the in
come tax laws regardless of their
personal relations. In case of separa-

more. The same rule applies in case

Misunderstanding Are Cause
of Income Tax Return Fines

Due, in the majority of cases, to mis-
understanding of exemptions. more
than 10000 persons last year were as
sessed nominal penalty of from IS to
$40 for failure to file an income tax
return for 1919, although their income
for that year was not taxable.
The revenue act provides personal
exemption of $1,000 for single persons,
$4,000 for married persons and heads
of families, and an additional exemp-
ton of $500 for each person depend
ent upon the taxpayer for chief sup
port, If such person is under Is years
of age or incapable of self-support.
The delinquents last year were per.
sons whose incomes exactly eQualed
the amount of the allowable exemp-
tions and who considered it unneces-
sary to file return and others whose
income, because of dependents, was
not taxable. but who nevertheless were
required by law to make returns.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue,
therefore, this year is emphasizing the
fact that the requirements to- file a
return are based solely on a persons
martial status and the amount of his
or her income for 1920. Single per-
sons with net incomes for 1920 of ST.
OOO or more ana married persons WIN
net incomes of $4,000 or more must
file a return regardless of whether
their incomes are nontaxable.
Returns Of Married Persons.
The exemption of $4,000 allowed
married persons, applies to the com.
bined income of husband and wife, to
which must be added the income of
dependent minor children. A common
error is for both husband and wife to
claim the exemption. which is de-
signed to cover essential living ex.
penses This exemption may be
claimed by either or may be appor,
toned between them as they may
elect.
If the income of either husband or
wife for the year 1920 was more than
$4,000, each should file separate re-
turn This is for the PURPOSE of com.

putting correctly the surtax on income
in excess Of $4,000, which applies sepa.
rately to the net income of husband
and wife, and not to the combined net
income.
Surtax Rates.
The surtax rates, which apply only
to net income in excess of $1,000, are
computed without benefit OF the per.
sonal exemptions. Many taxpayers
make the mistake of computing tax on
the combined net income of husband
and wife, to their own disadvantage.
AS an illustration, in the case of a
husband whose net income was $1,000
and that of his wife $4,000, the total
normal and surtax, if the incomes
were combined, would amount to $3.50
whereas if computed on the income OF
each would amount to only $3.50.
In the first instance, deducting the
personal exemption of $4,000 from the
combined income of $4,000, the tax is
on the remaining $1,000. At the rate
of per cent on the first $4,000 and
percent on income in excess of that
amount the normal tax amounts to
$500. The surtax, which is computed
without the benefit of the personal ex.
emption, amounts to $50, which is !
percent on the amount of income be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000. percent on
the amount of income between $4,000
and $4,000, and 3 percent on the
amount of income between $4,000 and
$4,000.
Husband May Deduct.
If computed separately, the husband
may deduct the personal exemption OF
$4,000 from his income of $1,000 and
on the remainder pay normal tax OF
$240, being per cent on the first
$4,000 and s per cent on the excess
