She would soon see she couldn't. , "Fl lit," said Mudume Fnfse Vnniry, "I will tell the beautiful young girl's fortune." She;-stopped looking nt herself In the pool and looked nt the jjlrl, reach ing out for her hand. The, Rirl gave Mudnme Fosa' Vanity her , hand and looked at Jfe. She Beemed to look more twtiflelul than ever, ber hair looked ag though she had dye1 It, nnd her face looked as though 'she had painted lt"wlth a briiKh It seemed to th .ffjrl., that Madame False Vanity mas unattrac tive liecause she was so unnatural. "Gaze into the pool," said Madame False Vanity. "-i'. Trie girl gazed Into the pool and she looked' quite different. ' "Uear what she has to say,", whis pered -Master Thouchtfiilness, "hut don't Relieve nny of It, for she Is a dreadful creature for not telling the truth. She likes everything that Is false. . AnA she does a great deal of harm. You'll see." "Are you talking about rue?" asked Madame False Vanity of ' Master Thouglit fulness.

Yon Hatter A-B-C f FINANCE STAMP TAXES ON NOTES AND DRAFTS By MORRIS j. FREY,, Assistant Treasurer, Guaranty Trust Comnay of New York Willi I (Note: This is the first of four ar- I tides dealing with stamp taxes.) ! Familiarity with the provisions of the i Federal t:ix law in regard to stamp, taxes ; on drafts, checks and promissory notes j is very e.'-si-ntiul to banking institutions, i The obligation of hanks in connection j with thin tux .-irises from the fact that' although the question as to who .should ' pay for the stamp is a matter of adjust i meat between the parties, under T reus-1 ' ury HegulntioiiK responsibility rests 111 , on the drawee, payee, or iiidirs"e, t see that t bo tax, if one i;i due, is paid before or al the tune ol acceptance or delivery to a certain date, such indorsement.! operates' as a renewal, and the renewal ' is subject to tax. Likewise, where n contract or agreement extending either' a chattel or real estate mortgage oper- ; Hies to extend or renew a promissory note secured by the mortgage, the re newal of such not: is taxable. The Treasury Department hn:i ruled that promissoiy notes given to Federal land hank: an I join slock land banks when secured by first mortgages, promissory notes issued by Federal land banks, promissory notes issneil directly by for eign guveriinu :im and placed in Ibis .Unless you see the name "Bayer" on tablets, you are not getting genuine Aspirin prescribed by physicians for 21 years, and proved safe by millibns.

"I don't really look ut nil like I look In this pool," said the girl, "it makes', mo look different.

Madame False vVanlty looked at the girl and sigheit' "You believe Master Thought fulness and you won't hoHeVo False Vanity, thoiurh I will give you lots of ' happiness and false delight over false mid unreal promises.

"Isn't It fine," said Master Thought fulness to himself, "Hint this boy and this glr! can't be Influenced by False Vanity,: Sometimes, no matter what I say, her manner and her way makes folks do as she says, and -then they (to on. through their days nnd nights pnttiiig themselves on the back and saying that they're wonderful, when they're not In the least, anil when - they're making no effort to improve themselves."

The i Treasury Department ha- therefore ' ruled that time drafts directly covering exports to a foreign country and which constitute an inherent, necessary and bona fhle part of the actual process of exportation nr.. xempt from tax. Time diafts dra '.mi against the proceeds of the foregoing, however, are subject to tax. Time drafts directly covering sales for export to a foreign buyer and drn'.vn on a domestic bank as the authorized ac ceptor of the foreign buyer are also ex empt from lex. The same is true ol' drafts drawn abroad on a for. ign draw.-e with a foreign payee, passing througa a bank in the ('nitol .States in the course id' collection, lei'ess delivered by an cgent of the .lrawer to an a gent of the payee within the l'nited ;'a'.es.

Time drafts coloring articles sbipoed from the Foiled States, Hawaii and Alaska to the Canal Z.ne are also tax able, if the draft" are delivered within the Failed States. Hawaii, or Alaska. This is also true of time drafts drawn against shipments from the Virgin1 Islands, the Philippines and I'or'o Kico into the Fnite.l S'ates. i1' delivery or ac ceptance; of sinli draft firt takes place within the Fnite.l States.
