Divorcee is Single

A woman who was widowed dur

of family, or remarked on or be
fore December 81, 1922, may claim
a personal exemption of only $1,000.
A divorced, or wife who continuous
" and without necessity makes her
home apart from her husband IS
classed as single person, and en-
titled only to the $1,000 personal
exemption.
Whether a man and wife are "liv-
ing apart for the purposes OF the
income tax law, depends upon maj
vidual circumstances. A wife who
supports an invalid husband in a
sanitarium may claim the exemp-
tion allowed married couple. The
separation is one Of necessity.
May Make Separate Returns
The revenue act does not prescribe
the amount Of the exemption allow
ed married woman living with her
husband. Married couples living
together are granted an, exemption
of $4,000 or $4,000, depending upon
whether their combined income is
$4,000 or less, or more than $4,000.
Husband and wife may make sepa-
rate returns, or they may make a
joint return. In the event separate
returns are made, either husband or
wife may claim the exemption al
lowed married persons, or they may
divide it between them in such pro-
portion as they may choose.
The regulation regarding commu-
nifty property is not effective in
California. Separate income cannot
be divided between husband 'and
wife in order to evade surtaxes.
The period for filing income tax
returns ends at midnight March Is,

and shrubbery be planted to just as
large an extent as possible before
it is too late. They had hoped to
have the trees on Main street ex-
tended on out from the courthouse
site to the Imperial avenue, but it
seems there is no ordinance provid-

in the season to start proceedings.
But the committee will not lie down

\ THREE DAYS'
 COUGH |S YOUR DANGER SIGNAL.

Chronic coughs and persistent colds lead to serious lung trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion. an emulsified creosote that Is pleas- ant to take. Creomulsion is a new medical discovery with twofold &C., tion; 1t soothes and heals the in- famed membranes and kills the germ.
 Of all known drugs, creosote is recognized by the medical fraternity as the greatest healing agency for the treatment of chronic coughs and colds and other forms of throat and lung troubles. Creomulsion contains. in addition to creosote, other healing clements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the ir- ritation while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trou- ble and. destroys the germs that lead to consumption.
 Creomulsion is guaranteed satis- factory in the treatment of chronic coughs and colds, bronchial asthma. catarrhal bronchitis and other forms of throat and lung diseases. and is excellent for building up the system after colds ,or the flu.

thought, and. having had 1t brought to their attention, they both acknowl- edged their rudeness.
 It may seem superflous to some, but I should like to repeat what every man should know, that it is hls duty when he is out with lady to avoid doing anything that would embarrass her or tend to cast the slightest reflection on her.
 On the street a man must always walk on the side nearest the curb when he is with one or two ladies. It is bad form fer him to walk be- tween them.
 In almost every case a lady should not be on mans left, whether they are walking or riding. According to European etiquette sitting on the right of gentleman Is supposedly the badge of responsibility. Over there this rule is almost invariably observed, though here it is not so universal. But it is one of the niceties.
 Another matter of note is that man should never take woman's arm. If he Is helping her into car he should put. his hand under her elbow. Neither should he offer his arm to lady in daytime, unless she
  reason needs his assistance. How ever. in New York and other big cities of this country 1t is often nec- essary to take mans arm since one never knows if she will reach the op- posite side of the street alive.
 A man in business should remem- Der that his female employees are women. perhaps as fine and sensl- tive as his mother. wife. sister or daughter, and that. therefore, he owes .hem as much consideration as he would give to the women of his own family.
 A great change that have noticed in sthe last few years is in mems dress at dances. At the large balls one never used to see men in dinner coats or soft shirts. Now it is a common thing to see at least half the men dressed that way. I must admit that it is usually the younger ele- ment that disregards the conventions in this matter at large and formal affairs. It Is a little thing, if you like. but men would certainly be very much surprised if women ar- rived in semievening dress. Why then should they not take as much trouble about their clothes and ap- pearance as we dO-and a they de- mand of us? This would not happen in any country but America, and in my opinion 1t Is great pity.
 There are a number of things I could mention, did space permit. but I should like to say that if the wom- en whom I hRr complaining of mems manners would complain by refusing to allow such manners, they would very quickly change.
 Anyway. 1t wouldn't hurt to try 1t. Let's

These models are preseason show ings, to be sure, but they are proph- etc of springs styles and style details.

Silver. em- broideries, sometimes with black: the gray furs-foX, wolf and squirrel, sometimes in combination with moa- key fur; and vari-colored embroid- cries trim these frocls and blouses.

MEN ARE RUDE ONLY AS WOMEN PERMIT IT
By JULIA HOYT 5(Mrs. Lydig HOyt)

It may be ina agination on my part, but it certainly seems to me that men are becoming rather careless in their manners. They have been changing gradually for some time, and though many people claim that woman's new independence is. re- sponsible for it, I can't quite agree. The responsibility of the woman lies to a great extent in the fact that they allow men to "get away" with laXity of manners and sometimes even rudeness.
 often hear American men making fun of the manners of foreigners. In my opinion, American men might study them with profit After all. social cbservances and standards are
 made simply for the purpose of mak- ing life easier and more attractive and certainly no one will deny that | good manners and courtesy accom- I plish this.
 The general objection that the for
 eigner "doesn't mean anything" by
 his good manners is uninportant. Il
 is doubtful If the behavior of any of
 us is an exact indication of our in-
 nermost thoughts. so why find fault with the foreigner?
 The working women are complain
 ing that men are rude to them in
 business and on public conveyances
 just because they are earning their living, but I can assure them that.
 Judging from the rudeness I have seen men display even in the most
 fashionable houses, they are wrong
 as to the reasons for their rudeness elsewhere.
 Men ere rude because 1t is usually too much trouble to be nice.
 Men are rude, moreover, because
 women permit them to be rude If more women should show these men up, if they should take offense at
 their rudeness, they would SC long way toward re-establishing the, fine old courtesy that once existed among
 men and women.
 Some time ago I attended a dinner and bridge. I was obliged to leave earlier than the rest of the guests, so l went into another room to say good night to four people who were playing there. One of the two men
