Personal Exemption
Every individual is allowed credit
against his net income which varies
with his domestic status, that is
whether he is (a) a single person (b)
married person living with husband
or wife, or (c) head of family. This
is known as personal exemption, and
is shown on line 81 of the return
Form 1040. The amount of the per-
sonal exemption also varies depend
ing upon the period during which the
taxpayer occupied the particular ex-
emption status
The personal exemption for a single
person is $500 for the year; for q
married person living with husband oi
wife, $1,000; and for a "head of fam
ily," $1,000. personal exemption as
head of family has no effect on ha-
bility to file a return.) For Federal
income tax purposes, widows, widow
ers, and married person separated by
mutual consent, as well as persons
who have never been married, are
classed as single persons.
A head of family is defined as "ar
individual who actually supports and
maintains in one household one OF
more individuals closely connect
ed with him by blood relationship, re-
lationship by marriage or by adoption
and whose right to exercise family
control and provide for those depend
ent individuals is based upon some
moral or legal obligation" A single
person, or a married person not div
ing with husband or wife, may there
fore enjoy head of family exemption
under certain conditions.

there is no denying that long hair
is most feminine and romantic in
appearance. The new fad for hair
pieces makes IL possible for any
girl to enjoy both short hair and
long hair at the same time. While
more girls are becoming acquainted
with these extra hairpieces every
day. however. few are familiar with
the proper care and conditioning
of their falls or bangs or what have
you.
If you have a hairpiece or II you
would like TO get one and have
hesitated because you didn't know
how to handle it, then study these
tips on its care by Max Factor. Jr.,
the Hollywood makeup and hair
expert. Proper care will prolong
the life Of such piece indefin-
itely.
First, treat your fall, half-wig or
pinned-on bangs just as you would
your own natural hair. Never al
low 1t to become dirty, dull or I'M
kempt in appearance. But do not try
to shampoo your piece as you do
your own hair. Either take 1t to
your regular hairdresser or wash
it yourself with any of the standard
dry-cleaning solvents, using a shall
low pan and just enough liquid to
cover the hairpiece. Immerse 1t in
the fluid and gently squeeze the
strands Of hair, taking care not to
twist them tightly. Repeat, using
new fluid If necessary until the
piece is thoroughly clean.
Brush for Beauty
Dry in cool, shady place or
anywhere except in the direct SUM-
light - preferably where there Is
free circulation of air. When it is
thoroughly dry. brush the hair
carefully TO help it retain its curl
and life" This should be done at
least every other day, even when
you are not using it. A small brush
with flexible wire bristles made es-
pecially for the purpose Is most
satisfactory, although any good.
-bristled brush can be used.
Have your piece re-dressed by a
competent hairdresser instead of
attempting to do it yourself. It will
stay dressed" longer and will be
much more satisfactory in the
meantime
Handle the piece as gently as
possible when putting it on or TAX
ing ii off. II you should suddenly
decide TO have your hair touched
up, take your piece to the hair
dresser and let a professional ex-
pert alter the color of your hair
piece so that ii matches your own
hair exactly.
Finally, be sure to protect 1t with
mothballs or crystals if you decide
TO store it away for any length of
time. Follow these instructions, the
expert says, and your extra pieces
of hair will last you almost indef-
initely.
