per cent, or a maximum OF $loo,
allowed for each dependent.
Senator Taft, Republican, OF Ohio
suggested that this extra, added
tax might be merged into the reg
ular income tax by lowering ex-
emptions, increasing rates and pos
sibly by eliminating the present
laws 10 per cent credit for earned
income.
1t was on this proposal that the
Treasury was instructed to furnish
burden tables so that the COM
mittee could learn just where the
additional weight Of taxation would
fall the heaviest.
AS outlined to the committee, the
3 per cent victory" tax would levy
amounts ranging from $3.50 yearly
on a person with $500 annual earn
ings to 500 1868 on one with $4,000, 900
annual income.
Debt and postwar rebate credits
would range from $3.50 in the $500
annual income class to a maximum
of $500 q year for a single person.
"A married person with two depend
ents would have a credit OF S3.S7
in the $500 annual income class,
ranging up to the 81 200 maximum as
income mounted above $4,000
year.
Chairman Doughton Of the House

while disclaimed responsibility on
the part OF congressional commit
tees for any delay in pasasage OF
tax legislation. He declared in an
interview:
"The Treasury changed its pro-
posals (for wartime increases IN
revenue) so many times we couldn't
keep up with it,"
No Criticism of Treasury.
He said he wanted to make it
clear that he was not criticizing the
Treasury, because its task lis big
lob" but he insisted that mo COM
nittee ever worked more earnestly
more diligently" than did the
House Ways and Means Committee
to bring out tax bill fair to the

An awareness that pretty
clothes must be practical, but
that there can be no compromise
with quality has been Hattie
Carnegie's theme in creating her
1912 fall and winter collection.
Shown on Friday afternoon to
capacity audience at the benefit
fashion promenade sponsored by
the AWVS, the clothes have all
the dignity and "newness" that
is so much a part of every Car
negie collection. Yet Washing
ton women were well aware that
these clothes are designed to fit
their lives today.
Most important news, OF course,
concerns the short evening dress
which Miss Carnegie sponsors
and which she does with off the
shoulder necklines, very decollete
and frequently in patterned wool
embroidered with bugle beads.
The dress, cut very slim. is
inches below the knees in length
and this designer feels that it is,
unquestionably. the coming fash
ion in wartime. However, in
difference to those occasions

Hats Go to Your Head land How!
exaggerated Lines and Vivid Color Distinguish Nev Collections

If you want a sane, coherent
report of the millinery picture
for fall, don't look at us. We
never have been more delight
fully confused in all our life,
nor have we ever seen a greater
and more dazzling assortment of
feminine headgear of every color,
size, shape and fabric.
Washington stores have gone
overheard on their millinery this
year, and not without good rea-
son. Dresses are simplified, suits
are in the picture, and the whole
fashion set-up for fall definitely
leans toward wearable, duration
clothes" that will go from season
to season. But not hats. They're
gayer, giddier, more insane and
tempting than ever. Where
dresses are dark, hats are bright,
where suits are severely simple,
millinery goes off on a feminine
spree that is sure-cure for
the worst case of blues on record.
AS we said before, we couldn't
possibly list the hat trends and
say with authority, You're likely
to wear thus and So" But we can
say for sure that you'll see plenty
of color and that you'll include
loads of it in your own ward
robe. This year a hat won't be
just necessary part of your cos
tume-it'll make or break" it.

ultra sophisticated hats. The
latest is a tiny purple velvet
sailor, its brim edged with loops
of the fabric. Worn straight on
the head, it's one of the most
engaging chapeaux of the season.
Also the center of attraction was
the costume pin she wore, a pin
which looked like a mesh bangle
until Mrs. Becker opened the
top and revealed it as tiny pin
on purse for mad money"
Lillian Rose wore black at the
luncheon, too. with sables, a tiny
hat with a heavy mesh veil,
huge gold earrings and wide,
square gold bracelets.
Glimpsed at a cocktail party
the other evening was pretty
Mrs. Herbie Sachs in a deity
draped black dress and big
brimmed velvet hat in cyclamen.
She had added black gloves,
banded in the same rosy tone,
and wore one of the biggest cos
tune pins on record-a gold
colored, Oriental head that must
have been six inches high and
was really striking. AS is
obvious from this report, huge
pins on black dresses are very

In silhouette, just about every
thing is represented. but there
is definite accent on high crowns
and on berets. From what we
can gather in our travels, these
will be the darlings of the season.
The high-crowned jobs may or
may not be brimmed, many of
them have no brim at all but
are surrealistic versions of the
fez. Berets will be huge, for the
most part, and warn straight on
the head, tilted slightly forward.
There are some calots being
shown-feathered ones espe-
cially-and a good representation
of cloches. The latter, which
may frighten you at first glance,
are really very becoming for they
sit well back on the head and
refrain from coming down over
the ears in the manner of those
inverted flower pots we wore in
the 20's.
Fabrics, of course, are felt and
velveteen, with some interesting
things being done with chenille.
Quilted velveteen is very good
and extremely smart in berets
and cloches this year. Felts are
soft, well-handled and frequent
ly manipulated so that they have
a Handmade" look. Fur hats
are around as usual-some of
them all-over fur and others

must" there are two-way frocks,
again cut very low and with the
short skirt. Over these, however,
go priority tulle skirts in
floor length, taking care of all
after-dark occasions.
Color is everywhere this year,
with special emphasis on tone
that Miss Carnegie calls beauty
pink" and which looks to us like
glorifled Shocking" Other
bright tones include a softer
kelly green known as "chryso-
prase green" the eternal and
much Loved Carnegie blue and a
great deal of interest in vary
ing tones OF brown for both day
and evening. Dresses through
out are slim and beautifully
draped, for this designer has
found the LBS rulings more of
a help than a handicap. Re-
strictions on certain fabrics and
details have become a challenge
to the top-ranking creators of
clothes, a challenge which this
pre-New York showing indicated
has been successfully answered.

What Smart Washington Wears

It may be true that women
dress more conservatively in
wartime, but it is equally true
that there is more chic in the
fashions seen about Washington
these days. Quality instead of
quantity" seems to be the by
word and though you may not
see your best-groomed woman in
a different ensemble every day,
you are more than likely to see
her in few really good-looking
costumes that are far more effec-
tive and appropriate.
Fashion shows, just starting in
town, have brought forth some
overwhelmingly beautiful cos
tunes. At the first luncheon
show of the season, color was
the keynote and one street cos
tune combined five different
colors-we counted 'em! In the
audience, the trend was more to
black, spiced with color. for it
may take some time before local
ladies dare to combine pink and
purple and green and black, and
do it smartly. Black with bright
accessories was the choice of Mrs.
Herman Becker, who always
makes fashion news with her
Evening star., 1942-09-20
Hattie Carnegie Does 1t Again

posed entirely of hand knit cos
tunes with a new treatment des-
tined to prevent the sagging, bag
ging and dropping that takes all
the joy out of less superior mod
els. Many of these knits, far from
being casual, are dressy styles
which sport red tear-drop Sc
quins on each pocket, or shim-
mering glass buttons. Some of
them even have detachable fox
collars. For other afternoon and
evening occasions, Carnegie does
black frocks with draped skirts,
colored patterned woods with Sc
quins or bugle beads, fringed
dresses and other fattering, fem
inine types. Details are very i'm
portant, as always, in this group,
but they are not the sort of de-
tails that date" a frock or make
it unwearable from one season to
the next. Buttons, for example,
are likely to be heirlooms. Jew
eled ones set in sterling silver,
plastic types with multihued
stones and glass buttons with
various colored gems are found
marching up and down clothes
ranging from crepe frocks to
tweed suits.
The victorian touch" is OBJ
vious in the form of tiny black
jet balls and black jet sequins
used to decorate pockets, revers
and cuffs . some of them even
appearing on authentic Scotch
plaid jackets, if you can imagine
the whimsical combination! And
not to be overlooked are these
warm Jackets destined to be worn
at home with slacks when heat
less evenings make a warm COW
ering desirable. The same jack
cts are shown with day-length
dresses of velvet and with sweep
ing dinner frocks, so versatile
and becoming are they.
Vital colors corresponding to
those in dresses are found in the
Carnegie millinery selection. Hats
are hats, once again, and there's
no question of sticking a bow or
flower in the hair to supplant
them. Velvets, feathers and
wha.-have-you appear, but the
newest gem Is the "windsock,"
which may appear in crocheted
version or in velvet with tiny Jet
balls. Completely covering the
head and hanging to point in
back, 1t is adapted from those
caplike gadgets that wave in the
breeze at the airport!
There's the usual dash Of
whimsy in jewelry, and fasci-
mating pins include the now-fa-
nous mad money" purse Of
mesh as we'll as a flock of jet
jewelry and silver.
F'urs are as adaptable as

of whom accent the royal shade
with fuchsia accessories - and
fuchsia lipstick y. This choice OF
lipstick, by the way, is doubly
important when violet shades of
any kind are in the picture-the
color on milady'S lips must be
carefully selected for perfect har-
mony, otherwise a clash is in
evitable.

trimmed generously with it.
There are some satin hats and
others of curled feathers, and
there is much interest in trim
mings such as wells, feathers,
flowers, jersey drapes and just
about everything you can men,
ton.
But when all is said and done,
it's color that makes the millin-
cry picture so exciting this year.
If you want black or brown, you
may have it, but if you can resist
the high shades and the luscious
pastels, you're a stronger char
acter than the women who have
f1ocked into Washington hat
salons so far. There's rich plum
and purple, soft green, brilliant
blue and a gold that looks al
most liquid. There are bright
color combinations with black
and there are styles with one
color in the crown, another in
the brim. Moreover, the acces-
sorry people have done good job
of coordination. Even when you
can't find a "set" such as a
matching hat and bag sold to-
gether, you can find, without too
much difficulty, accessories of the
same tone. Bags, hats, gloves and
blouses in the bright shades
seem almost to have been made
to go together, even though their
makers didn't plan it that way.
This, without a question Of
doubt, is the year to wear color,
wear it we'll, wear it bravely and
smartly. 1t is also the year to
combine your colors, accenting
a dark costume with a bright
hat and matching gloves, or with
q gay chapeau and matching
blouse. Don't overdo your colorS
or try to match from stem to
stern"-that's not the formula
for chic. What's more, you're
almost certain to miss the boat"
when you try to find more than
two items in the same color.
Finally, here's the best news Of
all. Despite their gay and giddy
appearance, hats this year are
becoming as we'll as pretty and
feminine. They are, in word,
the kind of hats that men like.
AS one New York night club en-
tertainer says, why don't you
get a hat that won't make your
husband look stranger" This
year you can do it.

The ancient Egyptians were the
first to discover the art OF distil-
ling perfume from flowers. Oil
was extracted from aromatic
plants and used in the prepara-
ton of unguents, pomades ana
other such products. Jars OF
scented cream found in the tomb
of King Tutankh-Amen were
still fragrant after 5000 years.
In South America the Incas
of Peru cultivated a number OF
aromatic plants for perfume pur-
poses. Perfume bags containing
dried leaves and other fragrant
flower parts were worn about the
neck and replenished at intervals.
Incense was also made from the
dried fragrant portions OF flow
ers. But the Incas never discov-
cred how to distill the actual
perfume oil from the plants. In
the ancient world the Egyptians
were the only people to hit upon
this process.
Oil removed from aromatic
plants by the process Of distilla-
ton is known as essential oil be-
cause it contains, in pure form,
the essence-or scent-of the
plant from which it is derived.
Some plants, notably the rose
and tuberose, carry their essence
in the flower part only; in others,
the leaves alone yield up the
much-coveted oil; some few have
1t in their leaves, stalk and even
roots-this kind of plant is well
adapted to machine harvesting.
A modified haying equipment. for
example, can be used in gather
ing geraniums, lavender, citro-
nella and lemongrass.
But the more valuable perfume
plants such as the rose, jasmin
and violet must be hand picked.
Since it requires, on the average,
a ton Of roses to produce one
pound of altar of roses and Is
tons of yiolets to make one pound
OF oil of violets, much labor Is
necessarily involved. However,
with perfume-a little goes a
long way. Experiments have
shown that current of air con-
tanning one two -millioneth of
milligram of rose oil can be
perceived by the sense of smell.
In general, larger proportion
of white flowers are fragrant than
those of any other color. Yellow
comes next, with red, blue, violet,
