Severe Costumes of Spring
Being Offset by Gay FoIde-
rolls of Fashion.
By HELEN FOX,
Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, April 12.-Milady
Is not dressed for springtime today
unless She is wearing a fob or a
bracelet, a scarf or a necktie, a
handkerchief or a boutonniere.
She is literally unpresentabIe. for
polite and fashionable society, un-
less some one of these or any other
folderol Of fashion completes her
costume.
Miss Springtime is not wearing
the straight and simple tailored
suit for its own, sake. She has
chosen it's severity as a background
TO indulge a taste for charming
accessories.
The boyish cut suit, with its
smart little upper or lower pocket,
IL SO delightfully."- adorned with a
watch lob or g. bright, dainty
handkerchief. The narrow, mono.
grammed tie or the gay scarf, so
oifficult to choose from million
ingeniously lovely creations, looks
wen under the long lapelled jacket.
Ana what Is a buttonhole for if
not for a naively bright spring
flower or boutonniere? The vel.
low tulip is a delightful touch with
a tie and a "hanky" Of the same
shade.
If Miss Springtime cannot boast
pocket in her new suit--and
pockets after all are not the most
essential thing in her life-she can
wear her dainty little net-edged
handkerchief strapped about her
slender wrist on a little beaded
wristlet. The fluttery edges of net
peek alluringly from under the
sleeve and the narrow bracelet
gives an old-fashioned charm to
the wrist.
Then, Of course, there are
buckles. And there are hat orna.
ments and canes. And there are
vests and collars and sheer hose
and novelty gloves.

TAX BURDEN IN j. S.
RISES $755,0)0,000
Total for 1923 Is Placed at

May Show Increase.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. September 16.-Amer-
fcdS tax burden was $755.O00. 600
heavier in 1928 than in 1922. and in
10 years taxation has grown more
than $500, 100000. the National In
dustrial Conference Board announced
in report made public yesterday.
Total taxes raised in 1923 were placed
at s7.716,000.000, against s6,96l. .O00, 900
in 1922.
The decline in the volume of taxa
tion noted in 1922 was rather short
lived. the report said. predicting an
upward tendency in 1924.
The report asserted that in 1913 the
Federal State and local governments
disbursed s2OS.0O0.O00 on account of
pensions and s22+.000,000 for interest
on public Indebtedness. In 1928 these
totals were. respectively, s330,00O. 900
and s1,44I.000. 900.
Higher Than Before War.
The board concluded that the bur-
den of taxation on industry. using
this term in its widest sense. meas
urcd in terms of dollars. is three and
One-half times as high as before the
war. and. measured in terms of COM
parable purchasing power, this bur
den is two and one-half times as hiSh
as ii was in 1913.
About one-eighth of the National
income goes toward the support of
governmental authorities. as COM
pared with one-sixteenth before the
war. Because the recession of Ma
tional income in 1924 is likely to be
appreciable as compared with 1928,
and in view of the continued rise in
the volume OF State and local taxa
tion, it is highly probable that the
ratio of taxes to income will be
higher in 1924 than in the preceding
YEAR"
