Of having women overshadow them
and are beginning to assert them
selves.
Women have been putting 1t over
en- the income tax collectors by
getting a rebate on clothing used
for business or professional pur-
poses.
Women in big drapery shops who
must wear expensive gowns while
at work are given a deduction from
their income tax on the ground that
such clothing is necessary as an
adjunct to their earning powers.
Women who are professional part
ners at a shilling dance In dance
halls also receive an allowance on
their evening gowns.
Men have taken tip from their
sisters. Dramatic critics insist that
evening clothing. which they must
wear almost constantly in their
professional capacity. Is essentially
a charge which should be deducted
from their income as a necessary
expense.
Artists aud sculptors Of Chelsea
who wear weird hats, baggy trous-
ers, Russian shirts and flowing
neckties claim that this clothing is
part Of the professional equipment.

Hat DoMng Traced
TO KnightLY Custom

Sunday prOmenaders on Fifth ave
nue. see more hat dofing than do the
crowds that move along the sidewalks
on workdays. After church the ave-
nue. fills up with neighborhood people,
who at least know many members Of
their own congregations But few
among them, from those wearing infor-
NAL fedoras to those in ceremonial
silk hats, probably ever question where
this hat doffing originated.
AS a fact, the dOffing of the hat was
a common custom long before the mod
ern types of headgear were fashioned
In the days Of knights in armor, when
man travelled incognito under all
envelOping helmets, it was customary
to remove the iron headdreSs in the
presence of a lady so that she might
see his face. BY this act she would
be assured that her grim ironclad
visitor was friend or acquaintance.
AS custom of respect the practice
thus came down from feudal times.

also to persons of dignity, and In
places and situations demanding par
ticular respect or reverence, men I'M
