Tax refunds beyond the peak signal budget cuts
Washington reports indicate refunds, a major source of controversy, are past their peak. The House appropriations committee has cut next year’s budget for the internal revenue service, with receipts for the bureau down $104,437 from the current year and $12,154,140 below the estimate. Refunds will be carried over beyond an allotment of 826 plus 57,836,000, as profits tax returns filed before 1921 have largely been processed.

Fanny and the Rise of the Last Set in Wartime Society
The passage traces how World War I highlighted evolving social layers as families of modest origins joined forces with renegades from the old squirearchy and new arrivals to form the last set around 1915. By 1921 they reached country club status and by 1926 entered the era’s elite dinners, with Bob Daniels's return from France tying him closer to Fanny’s circle.
