A Fashionable Dress Maker in Goth
am Gobbled by Magone.

NEW YORK, June 16.-The customs
agents and Collector Magone are exer-
cised over an alleged discovery OF Snug
Cling on an extensive scale by Mrs. Rose
Ludvgh, a fashionable dressmaker of
Fourteenth street. She makes up gowns
for actresses and many people Of note,
and her patrons frequently have Paris
made costumes ordered through her. Last
year her brother, Maurice Dusseldorf,
who is in business in Paris, visited her
here, and the two returned to Europe in
the fall the dressmaker with large orders
from customers for Worth costumes.
While at the French capital she perfected
clever scheme for evading the customs
duty on dresses, most of which were
seized by the Collectors agents. When
the costumes were prepared Miss Lud-
vigh went to Miss Bessie Montour, Of
this city, who is studying elocution in
London, and induced her to return home
as an actress with the Worth costumes as
her wardrobe, and acting herself as Miss
Mnntour's maid. In that way the dresses
we're passed duty free on the usual dec
laratiOn. Many Of the gowns are now
being worn, their owners being innocent
Of the manner Of their importation and
they have not. and it is likely will not be
seized. Miss Montour has returned to
London to pursue her studies. The en-
tire importation was valued at $40, 900.
