tegral part of every smart woman's
wardrobe, and attractive styles are
plentiful and popular.
Housecoats these days are made so
beautifully that it is a common sight
to see girls wearing them out to din
ner-especially in New York. The
lines, fabrics and details are so elab-
crate that it is difficult to detect that
the gown is not an actual formal
dress. Even in such material as flannel
the styles are a far cry from the
tailored bathrobes we used to asso-
ciate with woolen materials. The new
styles are young, vivacious and full of
clever tricks that have been taken
directly from evening modes. From
New York comes word of the latest
types which feature paisley piped
scarfs and pockets, dirndl effects,
braiding, quilting. zippers, jeWeled
pulls, fringe and many other details
that give them the quality of about
the-town clothes. The colors in flannel
robes are lovely, too. all the smart
new shades are featured in addition
to the pastel tones that have so long
been popular. Plaids are exception
ally smart this season-in everything
from hostess gowns to formal evening
clothes-and they certainly add note
of cheer and color to the fashion
scene.
Practicability is one of the assets
of flannel, too, for it usually wears
like iron. Despite the fact that this
material is usually of very heavy
quality. the new fabrics are surpris-
ingly light in weight-and yet lose
none of their warmth. In the typical
bathrobe variety, we recently saw a
lightweight flannel with stripes run
ming straight up and down the front
panel and bias on the sides. It was
most effective and looked extremely
practical.
In the more luxurious fabrics-vel-
vet, satin, brocade, or chiffon the
romantic and lavish influence is SEEN
These fabrics are symbolic of the trend

Every member of the House was
appealed to yesterday by Representa-
tive Smith, Democrat, of Virginia, and
Lewis Democrat, of Maryland. to ioin
them in move to defeat the income
tax section Of the 1889 District rev.
enue bill which the House is sched-
uled to consider tomorrow. the first
so-called District day of the
month.
The appeal was contained in
Joint letter, signed by Mr.. Smith and
Mr.. Lewis. which was sent to the en-
tire House membership-an appeal
that presages bitter fight over the
income tax plan.
The letter branded as "a rank in.
justice and totally indefensible" the
plan to impose an income tax on non
residents, and pointed out the men,
bers could neither defend nor justify
the bills proposal to exempt them
selves from payment of the tax while
taxing the salaries Of others.
Smith and Lewis Take Lead,
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Lewis. in whose
districts in nearby Virginia and Mary
land live 10000 or more constituents
whose incomes in the District would
be tapped by the municipal govern
ment simply because they work in
Washington, have arranged to take
the lead in the battle to kill the in
| come tax.
Several strategic parliamentary ma
neuyers already have been decided on
in an effort to remove the entire in
/ come tax section, or adopt amend
ments that would protect non-resi-
dents from payment of the proposed
| income tax. These include an amend
ment which would force payment Of
the tax by members of Congress and
others who are now specifically
exempt
Mr.. Smith disclosed he would first
| offer an amendment for elimination
| of the entire income tax section of
| the bill. on the ground an income tax
would not be necessary to balance the
1899 budget if the proposed so cents
! and the present so cents a gallon tax
on hard liquor is increased to 81.
| If the House refuses to remove the
I income tax section, Mr.. Smith said
he would offer an amendment TO eX-
empt non-resldents from payment of
the tax. and if he loses on this
| point, he would present another
amendment to eliminate a provision
| eXempting members of Congress and
others in the select group.
Urges Liquor Tax Increase.
Mr.. Smith also proposes to sponsor
amendments to increase both the
beer and the hard liquor taxes. He
said an increase of so cents a gallon
in the hard liquor tax would raise
sl.200,000 in additional revenue. and
tax of 81 barrel on beer 100000.
which would give the District more
| additional funds than necessary to
keep out of the red in the coming
fiscal year if the real estate tax rate
is continued at $1.75 as provided in
the bill.
The joint letter Of Mr.. Smith and
Mr.. Lewis to their colleagues, read
On Monday the House will con-
slider an income tax bill for the Dis
trict of Columbia, which contains
