                                        - 8 -                                         
               In 1989 or 1990, petitioner underwent surgery to remove some           
          growths from her breasts and back.  At the same time, she                   
          received breast implants.  Petitioner's medical insurance would             
          not cover the cost of the breast implants.  Mr. Womack paid most,           
          if not all, of the expenses for the implants; his contribution              
          did not exceed $5,000.                                                      
               Mr. Womack purchased several items of jewelry for petitioner           
          during the years at issue.  He bought her a diamond wristwatch, a           
          diamond anniversary ring, at least one bracelet,2 and a matching            
          necklace and earring set.  Petitioner also traded in a wedding              
          band for a larger one.  These purchases were made at Zales                  
          Jewelers in Charlotte, North Carolina, and through television               
          shopping; some items were purchased on credit.  Mr. Womack                  
          stopped making payments on the jewelry in September of 1992,                
          after the Womacks separated.  The record does not indicate                  
          whether or not the balance for the jewelry was ever paid.3                  
               Neither petitioner nor Mr. Womack purchased any real                   
          property between 1989 and 1991, inclusive.                                  
          Tax Returns                                                                 


          2 Mr. Womack described a diamond tennis bracelet he                         
          purchased for her.  Petitioner described a small gold link                  
          bracelet with a few topaz stones that he purchased for her.                 
          3 Mr. Womack estimated the cost of his jewelry purchases for                
          petitioner at $6,000 to $7,000; petitioner estimated such                   
          purchases at $2,000 to $2,100.  Apparently there was only one               
          item for which Mr. Womack did not make full payment.
