NEAR MRS. POST: A friend wants
to know how she should address
a housekeeper whom she has engaged
to come soon. The housekeeper is a
very refined and well-educated woman
who has had financial reverses. rather
elderly-or at least very much older
than my friend. The housekepper
will have full charge Of the house and
her word will be law to their 15-year-
old daughter while the parents are
at their professional Offices.
Answer-She would call her Mrs.
Jones-or Miss Jones.

Dear Mrs. Post: How do We
approach q formal reception commit
tee when neither my husband nor ]
know anyone receiving?
Answer-If there is some one an
nouncing names at the door, they will
announce you as Mr.. and Mrs. Brown,
and you merely say How do you do"
in turn. to each person receiving. II
no one is announcing the names, then
you shake hands with the first person
(nearest the door) and say, Il am
Mrs. John Brown" and then intro
duce my husband" The first person
receiving tells the next one, "Mr. and
Mrs. Brown" and the second one
tells the third and so on. If one Of
them is not paying attention and
therefore hasn't heard your name.
you repeat to her. Il am Mrs. John
Brown"-and then say my husband. :"

Dear Mrs Post: My friends
parents are going to celebrate their
30th wedding anniversary soon, which
according to wedding anniversary lists
I have seen is pearl. What can I
send them that would be typical of
the pearl year and yet would be
suitable for me to give since they
know I haven't much money?
Answer-Real pearls are naturally
out of the question. But you might
find something in mother-of-pearl,
such as a paper cutter or buckle or
other ornament. Otherwise / think
I would merely send her something
white-a small white ornament or
perhaps a few white flowers tied with
pearl grey ribbon.

You will love the new blouses and
you will be wanting lots of them.
The suit you have been wearing. the
suit you are going to wear and the
separate skirts that vary your outfit
from day to day all demand plenty OF
top changes.
New in blouses are Upper faStenings
in bright colors used for decoration as
well as fastening. finely tucked bosom
front in both dressy and sport models,
alpaca in pastel colors, much fullness
in sleeves above the elbow, dainty laces
and chiffon to contrast with the Sc
verely mannish suits with "the incon-
sistency that is woman; vests bor-
rowed from the men and changed to
suit the whim of the moment, and COLI
ors to match the new suede gloves.
We found a nice group OF grays that
are going to be so good with gray or
blue suits. These include a gray crepe
with round neck and flash of bright
Chinese red down the entire front that
proves to be a talon fastening. Lines
of tucks radiate from the neck like a
sunburst. This model also comes In
white with navy or brown upper lines
and another of similar type adds
pockets with the Upper feature.
TINY tucks close together form q
pointed front on another crepe
model that has q narrow collar band
with stiff bow of tucking and short
sleeves made full through the center by
means of tucks which take the fullness
in at the bottom. The next one is
frilly with a double jabot, lace-edged
and crossed with rows Of hemstitcfl-
ing. These three blouses also come in
other colors.
The alpaca blouse is study in we'll
placed lines of stitching around high
neck that is slashed for short dis
tance at the front and fastened with
buttons in the back. Interesting pock-
cts, with three flaps each. complete
the trimming OF this short-sleeved de-
sign.
A lace blouse in pale pink with a
delicate pattern of vines and leaves Is
lovely with its frog fastenings at neck
and waist. its short puff sleeves and
little peplum. This is one Of the pref
tiest lace blouses we have seen and
it is reasonably priced at IS, too.
The sheerest of chiffon may be found
in blouses alongside Of stiff bengalines
in nannish waistcoats. Each has its
own charm and S1rits a Sr,ecial occa.
sion or personality.

VEGETABLES and fruits are COM
ing in beautiful shipments to
meet the current Lenten demands.
Meats appear to have taken "back
seat" while fish and greens" have
come into the limelight as the most
important of foods during the fast days
Local merchants have made an ef-
fort not only to have an. excellent sup
ply of vegetables on hand, but have
made it a point to have the finest

THE new arrival this week is fresh
asparagus from California
Though it is quite high IN price, as it
is bound to be this time Of year, it is
good to know that it is available so
that our "hankering" may be ap-
peased! New collards and mustard
green's are being received from South
ern climes, and new potatoes are COM
ing in large and good lots from Ber-
muda. Shelled baby limas, green peas
and yellow squash are surprisingly
plentiful. Green peppers, savoy cab
bage, broccoli, potato artichokes and
cabbage sprouts are listed among this
weeks bargains. In the speciality line
you will find watercress. celery hearts,
fresh potted chives, crisp cucrmbers,
parsley, SNOWFALL mushrooms, large
hothouse tomatoes, mammoth French
chestnuts and Cape Cod cranberries.
Eggplant is splendid and should prove
to be an excellent substitute for the
meat dish. Stuffed and baked it pro-
vides . tasty and substantial piece de
resistance. Fresh mint is available at
many of the stands, and the new
large shipment of Spanish onions has
created additional sensation-they are
perfectly delicious French fried, you
know!
COME of the veteran market men
- express both pride and surprise
at the fact that in spite Of severe
weather and delayed shipments they
have been successful in keeping their
stock colorful and interesting. This
week they are displaying an array
which, even in good Winter weather
would be considered feat! Luscious
red-ripe strawberries have been Ne
ceived in large shipments and are bet
ter than they have ever been SO far
this year. They have dropped in price,
too-and are selling for 20 cents a
pint. Fresh rhubarb has also been
coming in extra large lots, and Is bet
ter and cheaper, too. Kumquats are
selling for 10 cents quart and are
plentiful. Apricots, nectarines and
plums from South America are con-
siderably cheaper and appear to be OF
unusually good grades. Pineapples
and all of the citrus fruit are at their
prime. Stayman Winesaps are being
featured at . number Of the market
stalls and are specially priced at some
Of the stores, too. Large, firm Malaga
grapes have appeared again after q
long and unusual absence.

U. S. INCOME TAX
Returns Show Big Gains
Over 1885

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Inter-
nal revenue collections for the first
nine months of the present fiscal year
have reached the unexpected height
Of $2,657 100000. On the basis of
these collections, estimates are made
that Uncle Sam will collect a total of
So, $40, 100000 by the time the fiscal
year ends on June 80.
On the 9-month report, this year
has gained S186,320,000 over the same
period of 1885. What makes this graf
flying increase all the more remark
able is the fact that processing taxes
have dropped 1884, ,504 900 in the same
period.
Income taxes for the nine months
brought in $1,040,207 ,294. This is an
increase of more than S242,000,000
over the yield of income taxes in the
first nine months of last year.
Liquor taxes brought over $780,
100000, a gain of just under $69,000,-
600 over the receipts from this source
in the same period last year. Tobacco
taxes were well over S368,000 900; a
gain of S31,464,000. Cigarettes are
responsible for most of this, bringing
in s311,778,oo0, a gain of s3o,ooo,-
| 900 over last year.
In view Of the loud cries of anguish
from corporation lawyers and over
stuffed millionaires, three taxes are
Of special interest. The capital stock
tax this year yielded just under S94,-
100000, a gain of more than S3,000,-
600 over the receipts of the same
period a year ago. Estate taxes pro-
duced $152, 100000, and practically
one-third of the total sum was gain
over the previous year And the gift
tax, which stops or at least makes
difficult evasions of the income tax,
and which moneybags never weary in
cursing, yielded $154,751 ,457; a gain
Of S87, 7,119,478.

the whole room laughed. And the
deadliest part of the joke is that
Blankenhorn had already given testi-
mony which proved the joke true.
Blankenhorn began with quotations
from witnesses before other hearings,
showing that many employers are
willing or anxious to hire thugs to
put that labor organizer in the hos
pital" He pointed out, as other wit
nesses have done, that the chief cause
of the bitterest strikes is the indus
trial spy system, and next to that is
the hiring of professional thugs.

great economic loss IN united acUlOn,
collective bargaining, and collective
buying.
Women Control Buying
1--WE have often repeated in our
publicity that large advertising firm
recently stated that 85 per cent of
the purchases which are made for
the average home are made by wo
man member of the household. This
means that over six billion dollars of
union-earned money is spent annually
by women members of organized
workers families.
.This buying power is a great eco
With it, women can become as effec-
tive in their efforts to win better
wages and better conditions, as union
men, themselves. If we could bring
the members Of the women's auxili-
aries and their friends TO full reali-
zation of this vast economic weapon,
the cause of the American labor move
ment would be advanced by several
decades.
Support of Women Desired
Men require the cooperation of
women in domestic, social, educa-
tional, political and labor union prob
lens. We now desire to obtain the
support of women's auxiliaries in our
economic problems. This can best be
obtained by organizing the buying
power of women members of the labor
unionist's family and then friends,
in order that we may coordinate col
lective buying with collective bargain
