Couture
Show
BY Bah LINCOLN

Yesterday afternoons couture
show at LanSburgh's was more
than usually helpful and inter
esting because the audience was
treated to the opportunity of
seeing the wrong hair-do as well
as the right.
Mr.. Joseph Smith, nationally
known hair authority, was there
in person, to explain how the
beautiful coiffures were achieved
and why certain styles were
right for certain types.
In the parade of mannequins
were brunetCeS, red h e a d S,
blondes and women with beauti-
full snowy hair. While the
brushed up effect was featured,
the style was adapted to suit the
face of the Wearer. Where a
Softening outline was needed it
was achieved by def placing of
puffs and curls.
Active and spectator sports
clothes and summer evening
gowns were worn by the models,
Mr.. Smith explaining in each
case which coiffureS were proper
with the costumes displayed.

Rings
WeLCOme
ASSet

The arrival Of coat hangers,
curtain rings, and other house
hold accessories, created from
"Lucite" methyl methacrylate
plastic, gives the home-maker
entirely new decorative items
that are remarkable for their
crystalline clearness. Recently
developed in the laboratories of
the du Pont company, this plas-
tic material has the clarity of
rock quartz and permits I'M
usually brilliant transparent
color effects.
The coat hangers come in
clear color and IN a range of II
lustrous transparent shades.
Metal hooks finished in gold or
chromium complete the de luxe
effect. Design to fit different
items of the wardrobe, the
hangers include styles with
curved-up ends to hold evening
gowns, others with a cross-bar
for skirts or trousers, and
lingerie holders with notches to
prevent shoulder straps from
slipping off. AS the plastic ma
terial is unshatterable, these
hangers should not be broken
or Clipped if knocked off the
closet rods.
Transparent curtain rings of
this plastic, made in the same
wide range of colors, are the
latest answer to the continual
quest for variations in window
treatments. Matching plastic
rods may be had for complete
uniformity of decoration.

About six months ago we had a

THE most pitiful person
Il is the girl who confesses
her past to the man she loves
in the hope that he will
understand. The most miser-
able specimen of humanity is
this same man who takes ad-
vantage Of her confession to
make demands on her, ask

which she turned her back
when she made a new start
In life.
Must Be
Jealousy
1t is no use for me to defend
men and say they don't do such
things. They do. Some perversity
in the masculine makeup urges
him to ask for the privileges
granted some other man. It's an
ugly sort Of jealousy of the man
of the past.
One of our worst murder
cases, or rather one of the most
publicized ones, the ThaW muir

was based on this theme. Harry

He Wants
To Be Exception

So you can see there is little
hope that you can make the boy
feel you are a different girl than
the one who made the past mis-
takes. He is deaf to your plea
that you want the right to start
all over again. He will grant you
that right with the exception
Of his own desire. This boy
would condemn you if you fall
again with some other man.
But unreasonably he feels you
should be above reproacn, eA-
cepting where he is concerned.
That is why I say give him
up and don't weep over him. He
isn't worth it. You are fine,
courageous young woman.

Fight on 81 ImpOst
Brings Doubling
BY JULIA A. BONWIT

Protest by local dealers against
the proposed tax of 81 per
barrel on beer resulted today in
a recommendation by Representa-
tiv Jack Nichols CD of Oklahoma,
chairman of the House District
Fiscal Affairs Committee, for a
$2-per-barrel tax.
CONFERENCE HELD
Mr.. Nichols, whose committee
is now redrafting the new 1889
revenue bill to meet an anticipated
deficit of 100000, stated he will
propose the So tax as the result
of conference with beer dealers.
The dealers, according to Mr..
Nichols, protested that they will
have insufficient profits in the
event of a 81 tax, and therefore
will be forced to pass the levy on
to the consumer in increased prices.
BOOST is BOOMERANG
Mr.. Nichols said, however, that
following his discussion, he was
given to understand that the deal
ers reported they had fixed" the
situation. On the basis of this, 1t
is understood that Mr.. Nichols Is
ready to advance the tax.

Kills Hope for Tax Cut
BY THEODORE HUNTLEY

"soak the taxpayer" became

the fiscal year 1888 today. as the
Senate Appropriations subcom-

the prospective District deficit
from 81, ,9E2 500 on between three
and four million dollars.
It was admitted that the Senate
action ends all hope Of tax reduc.
tions for the coming year and
probably will necessitate substan-
tial tax increases.
TOTAL EXCEEDS S47,OOO,OOO
When the bill is reported to the
Senate late today or tomorrow
it will carry a total of more than
SAT, 100000, close to the budget
estimates for 1889.
"You will find that the total
will be cut in conference"
Senator Elmer Thomas CD of
Oklahoma, chairman of the sub
committee, predicted. I'VE had
