I Here's how women will look In

predict:
Esther Dorolh}; Women will
have more curves than points. Sex
anpeal will he more subtle for

ing fashions.
Lily Dache- The natural look
in fashion and beaut} wil) be re
placed hv the "super-natural"
look. Both clothes and cosmetics
| will plainly show that they have
improved on nature. There will be
| little pride attached to having
heen born pretty. It will be more
important to show that vou know

leaner, taller and more sleeklv
groomed than before. The euii

beauty with brains and emotion
will be the ideal Women will like
looking pale and interesting
Sally Vietor: The slim silhou
ette coming in will inevitably bring
more hat with it Some hats will
be wider, some higher, sortie
brighter in color, but however they
draw the eye. hats will be essen

Mollie Parnis; Smart women in
1955 will take great pains to look
understated, at ease and entirely
themselves. The regimented, pack
aged look will be out The ehlc wo
man will take pains to choose ori
ginal color combinations and
unique accessories The amusing
eccentricity, such as a conversa
tion-piece jewel, a fresh flower or
a oalr of pink, gloves, will be more
important as the silhouette be
comes more uniform.
Jack Horwitz: The flapper hip
will definiteiv flin in '55. Young
?fashions seem headed for the long
torso, the hip yoke or drape and
low swing to the skir t. Indications
are that the long-iackct suit will he
a favorite with the young crowd.
High necks and low backs will lend
the changes in' the. evening silhou

Your Income Tax ? 6
Sick Pay, Pension,Dividends
May Pr dvide Tax Reductions
By FRANK O'BRIEN
AP Newsfeatures
The new tax law added some
ways you can get part of your in
come out of the lift collector's
reach by excluding it from your
taxable Income,
The new law lets you exclude
from your taxable imome part or
all income you get as retirement
's pe benefits, sick pay and divi
dends. In addition there are new
provisions of dollar-and-cent inter
est to scholars supported on grants,
to parson<*and to policemen.
Possibly the bigged tax saving
?o the most people under the new
exclusions will result from provi
; sions for setting part of annuity
or pension income aside tax free.
This applies to anyone who has
annuity-type income regardless of
age or whether he is formally re
tired from business. There are
13' z million persons in the Unite*
States over 65, plus millions of
younger persons. with_annuity in
come?nearly one third of the tax
paying individuals in the country. 1
Two general rules apply in ex- ;
eluding this type of income: 1
1. You have the right to recov-|.
er, tax free, from your annuity j
or pensions benefits as much as
you have invested or paid into I
your benefit plan. (This doesn't j
mean you can exclude payments IJ
you may be making now toward
future retirement benefits. You .
have to be getting tjie benefits now.
And if you are. you may exclude
from this benefit income an amount '
equal to what you have paid in the '
past toward it.i '
2 Also, in general you may not !
exclude from your taxable income '
any part.of retirement income if;'
you did not bear part of the cost.
But you did bear part of the cost, '
even if you made no direct contrib- '
utions, if you were taxed for part
or all of your employer's payments 1
to the plan you can usually get !
your cost figures from your form- '
er employer. '
You will find a new schedule
"E," on page 2 of form 1040. to '
enter your exclusion for retire- 1
ment income.
In schedule "K," on page 4. '
you wilt find a place to work out '
any retirement income tax credit '
you may have. 1
In working out your exclusions
and credits, refer to the instruc- s
lion booklet furnished with your '
return form and?since this is a
complex matter?don't hesitate to
call on your local int?rnal.revenue I
service office for help if you get I
confused.
aicx ray
The 1954 tax law allows a new
type of exclusion from your tax
able income for pay you receive !
> as wages while you are off work !
due to sickness or injury. There
are some limitations.
Sickness includes sickness dur- 1
lug pregnancy which incapacitates
you to work The revenue service
has not yet ruled definitely, how
ever. on how it will treat matern- !
ity leave. It is possible that all
paid maternity leave may be ex
cluded from your taxable income.
Mos* sick pay plans fall into two
groups?those of which the cost is
borne by the employer, anl those
financed b\ contributions of the
employe. The law makes different
provisions for these:
1. The amount of sick pay you
exclude from taxable income may
not exceed a weekly rate of $100
if it is received under a plan
financed by your employer. But no
part of your pay for the first seven
calendar days of sickness or in
jury may be excluded unless you
are hospitalized for at least one day
at any time during your illness.
tf your sick pay does not exceed
$100 a week, and you are hospital
ised. the entire amount may be ex
cluded from your taxable income.
But if you are paid at a rate in
excess of $100 a week the exclud
able amount may be determined by
a formula Riven on page 6 of the
instructions.
2. These limitations do r..?t
apply when your pay for sickness
or injury is entirely attributable
to your own contributions to a plan.
In this case, the entire amount may
be excluded
You will find a place at line 3
on page 1 of form 1040, or at line
12 of form 1040A to enter your
sick pay exclusion. Attach a
statement to your return explain
ing the exclusion. Both husband
and wife can make sick pay ex
clusions on a Joint return.
It is possible that vour employ
er did not withhold your income
tax on excludable sick pay you had
during 19M
But It is still necessary for you
to show the amount of your sick
pay, in order to cut your taxable
income down to the amount on
which taxes have been paid. If you
do not show your sick pay. you
might get hilled for taxes you do
not owe.
Accident and health ltcnefits ?
Payments to you, direct or indirect,
under accident or health plans may
be excluded from your taxable in
come when paid to cover the costs
of medical care for you, your wife
He thrifty, attend the going
nut of business sale at llnle'a. ,L
or husband, and your dependents
Dividends ? with limitations \
noted below, you can exclude from
your taxable income up to $50 oi*
income you get in the form of \
dividends.
If you are filing a joint return
and you and your wife each had I
dividends (dividend income less
dividends up to $50.
You will find a new schedule j
"J," at the top of page 4 of form J
1C?0, where you work out your
dividend exclusion. On form 1040A
you enter your taxable income from
clipidends (dividend income less
the portion you can exclude) on
line 10 as "other income".
Dividends received any time in
1954 may be counted for the divi
dend exclusion. (For the tax credit
an dividends, to be discussed in
the next article, you may count
anly dividends received after July
51, 1954 i
You may not count toward divi- ,
lend exclusions any dividends re
ceived from a number of organi-j
nations detailed under the heading
>f "dividends'' on page 7 of the
instructions that fame with your
return.
The new tax law lets you ex- '
dude payments under a scholar
ship or fellowship in most cases.
It also allows parsons to exclude
he rental value of a parsonage
-upplied to them, as did the old
aw, and in addition allows rental
?ash allowances to be excluded.
The cash allowance may be exclud
ed to the extent it is used to pay
?ent or purchase a home.
The new law gave policemen
he right to exclude from their
axable income any subsistence al
owance provided to them by law.

In addition, the new law pre
