PRTF4TE LETTERS.

GOurt.

Decision just Reached by the Supreme
Court.
Although as a rule / do not take much
interest in legal matters yet / have been
pleased by the decision which has just been
reached by the Supreme Court OF APP
peais here, to the effect that a husband
is not entitled to use his marital author
ity TO open the letters addressed to his
wife or those written by her to her
friends.
This is verdict which will give great
satisfaction to every one of our rex tn
this country. But l fear that It will be
a satisfaction of a moral rather than q
practical character and / doubt whether
the law, as now interpreted, will be
effective in the protection of our conf
Dental correspondence from the prying
curiosity OK those who are never tired
of reminding us that we have promised
obedience 20 them.
Men of breeding, high principle md
refinement do not require any duly codi-
fed law TO prevent their endeavor 10
secure possession of any little secrets
that we may have by the dishonorable
means Of breaking the seal of our pri-
vate correspondence. They would no
more dream of doing such thing than
they would of bursting in the door II
our dressing-room when It happens to be
boted when we are engaged in the soins
de la toilette.
On the other hand, man who is coarse
natured and unprincipled enough to open
our letters in our absence is not likely
to be prevented from doing so by any
legal considerations, especially when he
has hopes of being able 10 find IN he
letter some secret which will place either
his wife or his friend, perhaps both, Vt
his mercy.
The decision of the Court OF Appeals
Is, therefore, TO us a satisfaction purely
Of a theoretical and moral character and
constitutes for the first time a legal re-
cognition of our prerogative TO have re-
crets which our husbands, notwithstand-
ing all their marital authority. are not
entitled TO knowledge.

The same process can be applied with

there should be substituted for the ordi-

And yet, the situation isn't so bad as
it would seem at first glance; for by
diligent search we are able TO discover
some pretty fancies in the winter hats.
The trouble IS that ingenuity In this
direction is drawing near the end of its
resources. There is less. OF a field for
startling Innovations I'm the style OF
hat, than there is the more ample gown.
Then again, womankind has been positive
ly spoiled She has grown so accustomed
to these dainty brilliant bits NJ headgear,
that all the richness OF eastern coloring,
al the delicacy of the perfect French
bonnet scarcely provoke within her one
sign Of admiration. But there is another
reason. Methinks the heads that have
been 50 busy combining colorS and mat
erals, are satiated with the wealth OF
color and extravaganza OF shape. and
would fain introduce quieter and simpler
creations. Truly, various and conflicting
influences must be at work. or we cannot
account for the numberless shapes, and
methods Of arrangement. 1t is next TO
impossible Ia lay down the law IN this re-
gard. EVERYTHING is fashionable, and the
winter girl may order. at her own sweet
will. hat Of almost any shade or shape,
OF beaver, Of felt or satin. OF Jet or gold,
Of velvet or lace. To be sure, she will need
70 discriminate between street and evening
