          personal stock investments.1  He had Resyn pay Ruth Levitt a                
          weekly allowance of about $350.  Ruth Levitt received Resyn                 
          checks paid to cash totaling $25,737 in 1967, $24,930 in 1968,              
          and $25,761 in 1969.  She used those funds to pay household                 
          expenses.  Petitioner had Resyn pay the mortgage on their home.             
          Resyn paid $3,477.42 for 1967, $4,463.67 for 1968, and $4,081.35            
          for 1969 for the mortgage on petitioners' home.                             
               Petitioner had Resyn pay for many of Ruth Levitt's shopping            
          expenses.  In 1967, 1968, and 1969, Resyn also paid for Ruth                
          Levitt's purchases at Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Fellers,           
          Lord & Taylor, and many other stores.                                       
               Resyn paid Evelyn Mejia, a nurse for petitioners' children,            
          and William Morrison, a handyman and chauffeur at petitioners'              
          home.  Resyn paid landscaping and gardening expenses at                     
          petitioners' home.  Resyn paid petitioners' children's expenses             
          to attend Prospect Hill Country Day School, Newark Academy, and             
          Kenwood Camp for Girls from 1967 to 1969.  From 1967 to 1969,

          1967, 1968, and 1969.  There is no evidence that Resyn's                    
          arrangements to pay petitioners' expenses were different from               
          1963 to 1966, or in 1970.
