Notwithstanding this rebuff, the Prince

and as she threw herself about energetic

1t. She saw Mr.. Kendall move across the

toque or fisherman's woolen cap, drawn
down over his ears and eyebrows; a tre-
mendously thick blanket coat, coming
down half way to the knee, caught in at
the waist with knotted scarf; short
pair of blanket breeches and two or three
pairs of thick woolen stockings, one over
the other, terminating in Indian buckskin
moccasins, ornamented with Indian en-
broidery. These costumes are very pictur-
esque. The material is generally of some
brilliant color, or whito striped with bril-
liant colors and adorned with the printed
ribbon badges of the snowshoe and tobog-
gan clubs to which the wcarer belongs.
The toque and scarf are also club badges.

alive to the beauty of costly furs, and,
since they require them for the greater
part of each year, most daughters of Eve

wear fur caps, but they do not, as rnle

gloves. Canadian ladies seldom wear boots
in the winter unless they are going to
skate. They merely draw very thick, loose
woolen stockings over their slipp2rcd feet
and thrust them into rubbers. When they
come into their own or a friends house,
they pull off stockings and rubbcrs. For
skating the fair Canadians are careful to
have their ankles faulty laced up IN very
smart boots.

IMPORTANT IF TRUE.
Alleged Finding of Supreme Court on
Income Tax Law.

CHICAGO, April IA special dispatch
to The Tribune from Washington says:
The United States supreme court in the
income tax case has reversed the decision
of the lower court. but the income tax law
as a whole is upheld but only by a divided
court.
Two important portions of the law,
however, have been decided unconstitu-
tional, and they are so serious as to affect
materially not only the revenues of the
government but the estimation at which
the income tax will be held by the people,
Under the decision to be handed down by
the court. it is said, all incomes derived
from rents are exempted from taxation by
the federal government, all incomes de-
rived from state and municipal bonds are
similarity exempted.
In other respects the income tax law
stands as it was passed last August, but
the result OF the consultations in the SUI
preme court shows very conclusively that
the law can easily be picked to pieces
provided suits are brought to contest each
particular point as it comes up
The court was evenly divided. Justice
Jackson was too ill to take part. Chief
Justice Fuller and Justices Field, Gray
and Brewer were opposed to the law. JUS
ticcs Harland, Brown, Shiras and White
voted to sustain the law.
The expectation among members of the
court ia that the decision will be rendered
Monday in open court. but there is bare
possibility that the court may again split
up into irreconcilable sections and hold
up the decision. If the next congress does
not repeal the law with the sanction of the
president there will be a sudden rise in the
price of all local public securities, as well
as of all real estate, for, as they will be ex-
smpted from taxation, they ought to get
the benefit of the 2 per cent which other
income producers are obliged to account
