tional Emblem on Cigar Boxes.
New York, Sept. 10.--ln order to
test the constituionality of the act
passed by the New York legislature at
its last session. prohibiting the use of
the American flag for advertising pur-
poses on cigar boxes cigarette and
tobacco purchases. J. r. McPike, man
ager of the cigar department Of a
wholesale grocery store. has submitted
to arrest and was brought before JUS
tice Blanchard, of the Supreme Court
on a writ of habeas corpus sued out
by his counser The warrant on which
he was arrested charged him with hav-
ing exposed for sale and sold two
boxes OF cigars containing advertising
matter in which the flag appeared.
Counsel for McPike maintained that
the law was unconstitutional. as II de-
prived the citizen Of his liberty OF en-
ployment and occupation in carrying
on his business on legitimate methods.
He also contended that the act inter
fered with the federal law as TO trade
marks, and was destructive of prop
erty; and further, that IL was uncon-
stituional as 1t interfered with the
commerce OF other states. Any ques-
ton involving the use OF the American
flag. either for advertising or other
purposes, he also held, was not sub.
iect for the action of the legislature
of New York or any other state, but
solely within the purview of congress.
as II was a matter OF federal sOver.
eighty and not state sovereignty.
Justice Blanchard said that in order
to allow a speedy appeal and an early
decision on the matter. he would pa.
role Mr.. McPlke until tomorrow. when
he will enter a pro forma order dis
missing the writ, thus upholding the
constitutionality Of the act.

An Ideal Wardrobe.

It was my good fortune the other day toinspect the wardrobe of a fashionable woman to whom 1 was recently intro duced and whose good taste I admire very much. The dresses hung on the pegs of a beautifully lighted closet, which was perfumed with sachets ot violet and orris. Their owner had su- perb reddish hair, and she had the good ta ste to wear gowns of the filmiest and most delicate white or else sparkling lacy. black confections. The only bit of color was the little petticoat and coffee jacket which the sketch represents.
 Of course you will need to be told that they came from dear Paris. The little coffee jacket barely hangs below the waist in the back, while in front its long ends swing far below it. The edges are deeply toothed. and the silk. a pale blue taffeta, is all banded with white lace. which follows these outlines. The collar Is of all over lace edged with wide lace and run through with narrow black rib bons. The skirt follows out the same fan ciful and dainty conception. Under the full founce of silk is one of lace equally full and wide to give a fluffy effect and permit distracHng giimpses of whiteness when the wearer moves.
