One golden-haired girl wore a hat
that looked large next the miniature

though, when one came to consider it,
the piquant bonnet was small enough.

ruffles finely plated. in dull gold
brown, fastened round it. The top
ruffie was very narrow, the lowest
quite wide. 1t was of the ironed vel
vet and fell in pretty waves, lying on
the waves of golden hair. A twisted
band of tourquoise velvet was carried
round the base of the crown, caught
down outside with tourquoise buckle;
and the velvet rose in lovely bow at
the other side. 1t was certainly most
beautiful, with the effect heightened
\ by the tourguoise chou and bow that
were fastened in the coiffure.

had slipped on rich cape of the lace,

eyes, to be admired.
Those glimpses were all satisfying.
I became more firmly convinced than
ever that if all those black-robed fig
iures were wearing the light lace, it
would be some time before the bans
were proclaimed against it. A dainty
black satin claimed attention, worn
by a comparatively young girl. The

cluster of full pink clover, waving
their heads in the air with exquisite

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Several Rendered Yesterday on Inn
pOrtant Topics of General Interest.

The Supreme Court yesterday handed
down number of important decisions.
Justice Brewer rendered the opinion OF the
court in the case of the United States
against John S. and Joseph Lees, who were
fined 81 900 in Pennsylvania for violation of
the alien contract labor law. The justice
held that the Supreme Court had found the
law to be constitutional, but the court be-
low had erred in compelling the defendants
to give testimony in favor of the govern
ment in a criminal charge against them
A new trial was ordered.
Chief Justice Fuller announced that the
court upheld the contention of the United
States that the invention of Philip McAleer
OF perforating paper device, while ne was an
employe or the bureau of engraving and
printing, is the property of the government
and that he has no claim for royalties on its
use.
Justice jackson read the decision of the
court in the case of the Columbia Mill Com
pany Of Minnesota against w. W. Alcorn 4
Co., involving the law of trade marks. The
court held that the decisions of the court
show the following fundamental PROPOSE
tons to be valid:
l. That to acquire the right to the ex-
elusive use of trade mark it must appear
that II was adopted for the purpose of iden-
Trying the origin or ownership of the article
to which IL was attached, or that such trade
mark must point distinctiYely TO the origin,
on which il is stamped. II must be designed
as its primary object and purpose, TO indi-
cate the owner or producer of the COM
modify, and to distinguish il from like
articles manufactured by others
, That II the device was adopted for the
purpose OF Identifying the grade of the
article, or for any purpose other than a
reference to or indication OF its ownership,
II cannot be sustained as a valid trade
mark.
B. That the exclusive right to the use of
the device is founded upon the priority OF
appropriation.
l. Such trade mark cannot consist of
words In common use as designating local.

The court held that there was no valid
trade mark in the word Columbia and
