The presence of the President, the
vice President, several cabinet officers
hnd q number Of Ambassadors and
Ministers did not relieve Washington
from q decided dizziness last week. This
duIlness Is probably ''the lun before the
storm" for within another week or 10
days the Capital win be busting with
returning officials, diplomats and others
prominent in society and their plans
for the Winter season. President and
Mrs Hoover remained at the White
House through the week and the Vice
President, with Mr.. and Mrs. Gam,
were detained in their Cleveland Park
home, yet there were no festivities, even
Of the most informal nature.
The automobile of the Vice President.
Mith It's seal and initials on the door,
marked close to the entrance Of the
Palace Theater Friday evening, caused
much interest and no little comment.
The Vice President, Mr.. Curtis, with
Mr.. and Mrs Gam and one or two
intimate friends. witnessed the showing
of Sporting Blood" in which scenes
Of the Kentucky Derby showed the Vice
President among those in the paddock.
The many plans for the coming
winter thus far announced have not
included che famous Dancing Class,
which for svsne years met in the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs Joseph Letter on

perhaps. change the atmosphere OF the
Dancing Glass, If not cause It's absence
from the social calendar. Although 1t
was announced that Mrs. Letter had
taken a house at Lake Forest for a
month during the Summer, II IS gener-
ally understood she viii spend little or

TREASURY TRIES
To- REDUCE
BUDGET
Larger Deficit Expected Than
In 1881, But Officials Won't
Discuss Increased Taxes

Every. effort to cut Government
expenditures, to be recommended
In the 1888 budget which goes to
Congress in December, to a fig
ure below the $4.054,O0O.OO esti-
mate contained in the 1882 bud
get is being made by the Admin
tstration, it was learned today.
Budget hearings are now in
progress at the Treasury and 1t
Is hoped to have preliminary
figures available for the President
by the middle Of September. All
chances Of the Government
''breaking even" during the cur.
rent fiscal year have disappeared,
and IL is expected that unless a
remarkable improvement in bust
ness takes place the deficit will
be larger than the $500, 200, ,OOO
figure for 1881.
Receipts Still Low
Receipts so far this year have
indicated no improvement.
Officials decline to discuss the
question of an increase in taxes.
although it was frankly admitted
that the Government cannot go
on indefinitely with excesses of
expenditures over receipts.
May Have Gas Tax
While there will be no recon-
mendations for a tax increase
next December if there is a pick
up in business, which would
stimulate receipts from existing
rates, or if an improvement ap-
pears likely during 1882.
Some experts felt that barring
better times it may become neces-
Sary to broaden the tax base,
possibly extending Federal as
Sessment to gasoline, automobiles,
and other sources.
The present income tax system
Is based on a fair weather law"
During the present year it ap-
pears that the income and cor
poration tax collection probably
will be 100000, 900 less than in
the 1880 fiscal year.

Wdshington Fdshions
By WILMA LAvTLLE

Consider well your occasions
before you buy any winter
clothes. Decide Just how social
YOU will be, how many evening
gowns you will need, and how
formal the affairs will be that
Won will be invited to. Then pur'
chase with care for matching
your wrap to your gowns, your
shoes and jewelry to all OF them:
and YOU always will be sure OF
'having something correct 10
wear and suitable to the 9ccsT
sion.
To "Dress" or Not
There always will be many
evening invitations that do not
give any hint Of how you should
dress. If you're invited to din
ner by someone you don't know
very well, and you have no idea
how the evening will develop,
it's hard to know whether TO
wear an evening gown or not.
But this season there Is an an
swer to even the hardest riddle
of that kind There are SO
many gowns with jackets. gowns
that are very formal under
meath, but are demure and in
formal when they wear their lit
tie matching jerkin. that it's
easy to suit your hostess, no
matter how vague the invita-
ton.
For Continuity"
Just such a gown is the one
sketched today. It is a Chanel
copy, and 1t called Continuity"
because it goes on and on from
late afternoon through the eve
ming. and joins up hours that
seem otherwise unrelated. 1t
has everything to recommend it,
both chic and practical features.
It is Of dark green velvet. that
rich forest green that is usually
used for daytime clothes, so that
at least in color it is a daytime
costume. The bodice Is Of Off
white velvet, cunningly cut %
that it fits perfectly and gives
the new baudeau look. The bow
on the side of the bodice pulls
through a slit in the jacket, so
that the color scheme is carried
out even with the jacket on.
With Low-cut Back
With the jacket off, this
gown has a "suspender" back,
newest of all the low decol-
letages. It is extreme enough
for the most formal occasion,
and as the skirt is long and
slinky, it will not look the least
bit like an afternoon dress.
So you see it is perfect for any
time from late formal after
noon through any exigency of
the evening, even to a night
club or reception. Wear it
with a hat If you want to be
informal, and then take the
hat off il the occasion increases
