For example, a single man and a single woman who were married on July 20, 1939, and lived together during the remainder of the year would be entitled to a personal ex- emption of $2,208.34 in a joint re- turn for the calendar year 1939, which amount is seven-twelfths of $1,000 for the husband while single, plus seven-twelfths of $1,000 for the wife while single, plus five-twelfths of $2,500 for the period during which they were married. If separate re- turns are filed, each is entitled to a person exemption of $1,104.17, which is seven-twelfths of $1,000, plus one-: half of five twelfths of $2,500. If during the year 1939 the hus- band or the wife had the status of the head of a family prior to their marriage, he or she would be en- titled to his or her prorata share of the personal exemption of $2,500 al- lowed the head of a family for the stead of merely that allowed a single person.

Frank Phone 608 Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Coons. ., Feb. 20.—Peace on a hilltop, away from HOLLYWOOD, Cal it all It's a rambling little California house, quaint and slightly rustic in style. On a clear day you can see (unless you're ornery and look the other way) Catalina. It isn't compulsory, however, for those who can take their Catalina or leave it alone. The Louis Haywards live there. They bought the place about six months ago. It was just the kind of spot Louis and the new missus (she’s Ida Lupino) wanted. ‘Small,” said Louis at the time. ‘Nice. Not even a dining room nobody really needs a dining room. We like it.” Today Louis is going out on an appointment, but Ida is home. Ida is sitting n the living room, on a flowered sofa beside the blazing fire. She’s pretty and lissome—green lounging slacks with a mustard-gold jacket, dark hair caught in a red snood, a red bow standing perkily on top. “Nice little joint you've got here,” says I. “We like it,” says Ida, a bit grimly I think, “We're doing over the living room. Tearing out the end wall, making an alcove. Painting the walls green—they're too white now. We're changing the fireplace too. The room has no character as it is. Too square.” Ah, here's the story: ) “Friends” says Ida. “They're wonderful We don't ask many people up here any more. We did, at first. . .."” Friends. Friends calling to see the dear new housie-wousie, pride of the Haywards’ lives. One friend who said, gushingly “DARLING, it’s the sweetest, LITTLEST house I ever saw!” Another who said, “Ida, dear, it's SWEET but awfully SELF- CONSCIOUS, don’t you think™ Another who studied the flowered maroon chintz drapes and gflmm/ That's lhe reception cherming hestessess give thoughtful guests who pring gifts of deliclous van Duyn Candies. Little attentions make you & "must come" guest. “Uan VAN DUYN CHOCOLATE SHOPS NOW AT Percy’s conceded, “Oh, yes—chintz Is very good—in the BETTER grades . hm-m-m!” Another who surveyed a chair, sniffily, and exclaimed, “What a strange chair—nice, I suppose, if you like it. . . ."” Anyway the Haywards had that “strange chair” recovered, although its upholstery was brand new, and have voided it ever since. Ida's piano—a distinetive upright which one of her friends (who preferred a baby grand, herself) mistook for a writing desk —has its keys exposed now. Ida doesn't say why, but that's how it is, Also the dining room (oh, yes, they decided to have a dining room after all) has been “done over” entirely. Seems it was a frightful red, all over, and they'd meant to change that, from the very first. They're putting in a swimming pool, down on the ing rooms and all the trimmings. They have a t to do. Now all the ideas, of course, didn’t come from friends, but— “I think if you can't see good in a house—or in people— you oughtn't to say anything at all,” says Ida, emphatically. She has had her revenge, however. Not long ago she was a guest on the Bing Crosby air program. The skit (which she had written to order) embodied all the catty comments made about her home. Maybe you heard it, and now you know where she got the idea, Wt -
