Kittie's Tasters • #y JANE OSBOEtil OfcCtur* Srn4lcat»--WNU Servte*.* JT WAS Kittie's theory that a satisfied taster would always make an eventual customer, so she regarded the slight extra expense of time and money involved in making a daily supply of tiny pattycakes as well worth while. A plate of these little sample cakes was always prominently displayed on the counter of her small shop located on the highway from New York to Graham university. Over the neat whitepainted, one-room cottage was an enormous sign with the words Kittie's Kitchen, and the front of the shop was so arranged that on bright days it might be folded back so that the gleaming blue and white kitchen might be seen by motorists. , They could see the stove and the long table where Kittie rolled out the pastry that was to be the foundation of her famous pies, or mixed the batter for cakes, or covered them with luscious icing when they were done And they could see Kittie, whose golden hair showed in a stray curl Qr two that escaped the ^onnnes of her becoming cap. On bright days that promised heavy traffic Kittie made more cookies, cakes and pies than she did when the weather was less promising, and sometimes when a promising day turned out to be rainy with a meager supply of customers, Kittie had more samples to offer. One day in August--that had started out with a sky so bright that Kittie had made maximum supplies of everything, and turned gloomy-- a rather forlorn car with two men stopped before Kittie's Kitchen. Once inside they looked hungrily about, signs of admiration gleaming in their eyes. They priced various good things and after consultation bought a half dozen pattycakes for thirty cents. "Gee, I'd like some pie," said one of the young men. , . "It's sixty cents, . informed the other in an undertone. "Don't you want to sample the pie?" said Kittie, moving the plate of samples toward the young men. "You see, I have lots of samples and we can't expect many customers on a day like this." Each young man took a sample--which was only too easy to swallow. "Oh, do have another," urged Kittie. And each young man took another and then at Kittie's urging another. "It's very wet outside," said Kittie. "I've just made some coffee for myself. Of course, I don't usually serve anything--but there is a potful going to waste and some nice cream--wouldn't you like a cup?" The young men looked first eager, then dejected. % "The truth of the matter is," said the obviously younger of the two, "the truth is that we are broke." Kittie laughed as if being flat broke was most usual and a rather pleasant predicament. "I really didn't mean to sell you the coffee," she said. "It would be a bad precedent as I don't sell coffee--it's a bother to wash the dishea. I just thought you might drink some of it so it wouldn't go to waste--" The hungry young men needed no further urging. Each drank two cups of the delicious beverage. "We'll certainly never forget this," said both young men. Early the next summer Kittie saw a strikingly luxurious roadster stop before her shop. A young man of about thirty strode easily into the shop, glanced approvingly at the neat blue and'white equipment and then at Kittie. "My brother came here last summer," he began, and then looked intently at the girl before him. "Kate Ronald--as I live," he exclaimed. "Bruce!" she gasped. Explanations followed. "You see, my kid brother went broke after the epd of his summer school work at Graham last summer. He had to leave his good car at a garage as collateral on a loan, and he and a friend bought a wheezy old car for a hundred dollars to make the trip home. He'd had a prettv good time, I guess, but he'd passea off all his conditions so Dad settled his debts. He's finished up his college course nearer home where Dad can keep a closer watch on him. That bothered Ted because he was so anxious to come back and thank you for the way you treated him when he was flat broke. As a matter of fact, I think he was rather hit hard--but I don't blame him. Now, as I Was coming East this summer^ he got me to promise to stop in and see you --and thank you--and ask whether he might write." "He needn't bother to ifrrite," saic* Kittie blushing. "He's such a kid--" "Not much older than you are," smiled the elder brother. "But this is a surprise--I've often wondered what you were doing. Hardly blamed you for not answering my letters." "If you ever wrote, I didn't getthe letters," said Kittie softly. "You see, after father died there was nothing--not a thing--and so I worked in a goody shop to learn the business. I didn't want anyone to know--and I didn't think you cared. And then I got started for myself--really it isn't so bad." "It's marvelous," Bruce assured her--"but not so marvelous as you are--Kate, 1 came on to thank you for what you had done for my brother-- but I am going to keep you for myself."

C.--The Revenue Act of 1941 provides a simplified method of computing income tax in the case of indivduals whose gross income is derived wholly from salary, wages or other compensation for personal services, dividends, interest, rent, annuities, oi royalties, and does not exceed $3,000. A new Form 1040A has been provided for taxpayers who'are entitled to and elect to use such method. A table on the reverse side of this form shows the amount of tax on increasing amounts of gross income after the proper allowance of $400 for each dependent, if any. The tax under the simplified method is the same for each $25.00 block of gross income and the taxpayer need only ascertain in which block his gross income (less allowance for dependents) falls to determine his tax. A flat reduction of ten per cent has been made in arriving at the amount of tax shown in the table for deductions such as charitable contributions and taxes paid, so that the taxpayer who uses this method does not list these but gets an automatic deduction of ten per cent. Under the simplified method the status of a person oO -the last day of the taxable year is the governing factor in determining the exemption level *$750 for sinirle persons and married persons not living with husband or wife, and $1,500 for married persons living together) as well as the credit for dependents. A husband and wife living together on the last day of the taxable year mav file separate returns on Form 1040A if the gross income of each is from the prescribed sources and does not exceed $3,000, or thev may file a sinsrle joint return on that form If their combin.»d income is from the prescribed sources and does not exceed $3,000. The use of the simplified method is optional with the taxpayer but once an election1 has been made for any vear, it is irrevocable for that year. If a taxpayer files a return under the simplified method for the taxable year he may not thereafter file a returr under the general provisions of the law for that year. Conversely, if h« files a return under the general provisions for any taxable year, he may not thereafter file a return under th« simplified method for that year. How ever, a new election is allowsd for each succeeding taxable year. j Mr. and Mrs. Charles Roden? and Mr.~and Mrs. Paul Kummerow helped celebrate tho birthday Anniversary of Andrew Lindsren near Wauconda last Saturday evening. 8L0CUMLAKE T H E G E O G R A P H Y L E S S O N Mr. and Mrs. Earl Converse were business callers at Barrington Saturday.
