Letter From Lady Dickens.
English customs and the Anglo-Sax
on traditional interest in holiday gaie
ties were-not dulled by the world war,
according to a letter reflecting the spir
it and cheer prevailing during the
holiday social season in London, from
Lady Dickens,-wife of Sir Henry Dick
ens, son of the novelist, to Mrs. Wil
liam H. Gorman, of this city.
The letter follows a delightful asso
ciation between Lady Dickens and
Mrs. Gorman, when the latter was in
Europe last summer. Lady Dickens
and Sir Henry Dickens were touring
Switzerland, where Mrs. Gorman spent
some time before going to Oberammer
gau to Witness The Passion Pla. Mrs.
Dickens says:
"Dear Mrs. Gorman: I was so
pleased to hear from you. though I
had hoped to see you again before
you left for America. I was away
from home 'till the middle of October
and enjoyed my holiday very much.
"We are stilFin the midst of Christ
mas and New Year's festivities and
this evening are going to a black and
white fancy dress ball at one of our
married daughter's. We are really to
old a couple to ‘dress up’ and I didn’t
want to disappoint the daughter and
happily have a brain wave. We shall
go, Sir Henry aifd I. in ordinary eve
ning dress, and over it wear a, white
cloak, i as ‘granny’ with names of
mv fifteen grand-children embroidered
on the buck and all their photos tied
on with' tiny white and black ribbons
on wide sleeves amKon each front.
My husband goes as the ‘family tree,"
painted in ink all over the back of
the cloak. He begins with
father, liis children, his father and
his ten children, my husband and his
seven, and then our tifteen grand
children. Ijte makes quote a good
show. 1
“My husband and i wish you and
your friends a very happy 1023/’

INCOME TAX FACTS
No. 12. . '
Inquiries received by the Bureau <>r
Internal Revenue indicate a mistaiV-i
impression In the minds of many
payers concerning deductions
gross income for personal expen-</
Deductions for living or family ,. N
penses. such as amounts expended ,y/
food, clothing, education of child l-,-/
rent for n dwelling, hire of domestic
servants and similar items for
upkeep of ft home are expressly ,n
allowed by the revenue act.
A storekeeper may not clothe
self and family with goods taken f,-,,,-
the store and deduct tint cost- of t L
clothing as a business expense. \
restaurant keeper or hotel propriety,
should make an allowance for -menu
Tor himself and family.
The same rule applies to a phwj
cian who conducts a sanitarium \
shopkeeper who dwells over his pi a ,‘. (l
of business, should deduct as a i„/- ;
ness expense rental only of the” per*,
titon of the building used for i UNi
ness. A fanner may deduct as -,
business expense wages paid a far/,,
hand, hut not those of a domestic en,.
ployed in his household.
A physician who maintains tan
in a rented home may dedin t the
portion of such rent properly char-/
vide to the portion used for pro//,
sional purposes. If, however. i„
maintains an office elsewhere and 'in
cidentally receives patients at his h 0:,,,,
he is not entitled to deduct any par;
of tlie -sent for his residence as a bin'
