draped in the same golden tints.
while walls and chandeliers were
hung with icstoons OF smiiaX.

Miss Jeanne Albert led the way,
herself an embodiment OF spring,
with m asses of lilies Of the valley

her fair face and the white train of
her gown were visible beyond the
crimson roses that glowed about
her.

Insslar Test Cases Decided ~ the
SupreMe C0urt.

Insslar Test Cases Decided W the
suprene Court.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Oplnlons
have been rendered In the United
States supreme court In the last two Of
The insular test cases. One of them was
that known as the fourteen diamond
ring case, involving the relationship
Of the United States to the Philippine
Islands from tariff point Of view. and
the other what is known as the Dooley
case No. =, Involving the constitution
ality OF the collection Of duty OH goods
shipped from New York TO Porto Rico.
In the former case the court. through
Chief Justice Fuller. held that the dit
mond rings brought IN from the Phil
ippinos and over which the case arose
should have been exempt from duty
under the Paris treaty Of peace, as that
treaty made the Philippines American
territory. The decision in the Philip
pine case followed closely that of the
first Porto Ri"an case Of last term. In
the poolcy case it was hold that the
duty collected Oh goods carried from
New York to Porto Rico was permlssi-
BILE. but that 1t was In reality a tax for
the brneti, OF the Porto Ricans them
selves rather than an export duty. as
was claimed by the merchants who an
tagonized thr government In the case.
IN the pooley case II was held that
the duty collected on, goods carried
from New York TO Porto Rico was per-
miSsiblc. but that il was in reality
tax for tli" benefit of Porto Kicans
themselves rather than aRexport duty,
as was claimed by the merchants who
antagonizcd the government in The
case.
In both cases there were dissenting
opinions conclrred In by four of the
nine justices of the court.
