USELESS POCKETS
Those on Ne1O Suits Intended
Solely for Ornament.

If il takes nine tailors to make a man,
as the old song states, how many does II
take to make woman? II is a knotty
problem. which even Diogenes Teufels-
drokh in his Philosophy of Clothes, dio
not attempt to solve.
The latest service which the tailor has
rendered woman is the Introduction OF
nookets in her suits This sounds com
fortins and would doubtless be glad It'd
ings for the man who is always complain
ing about wonans inability TO dispose OF
her possessions about her, as well as for
the woman who has long sought in vain Tor
a place to put her handkerchief and purse
If the tailors didn't send a warning with
the pockets that they are not for use, but
for ornament only.
Many women are disgruntled at the turn
fashions have taken in favor of the snort
coat ard declare that they will have a
long one, in spite of all dictates. But
scarcely a new suit has jacket longer
than arm length, except those for steamer
wear, imported from Engand's shores
They are made in ulster style and are
quite apart from any of the chic, smart
little tailored costumes of the day.
Black and white pin stripe serges are
much in demand for morning wear, and
grayish hued colors for dressy occasions
The former are invariably touched up with
q little color and when made in the Rus

NO LICENSE NECESSARY.

Albany. Feb. 22-The law regulating dan
cling academies in New York City, SO far
as II requires a license fee, is unconsttu-
tional, according to a decision to-day by
the Court of Appeals Under the present
statute the conduct of dancing academies
is not permitted unless license fee of $50
shall first have been paid.
Oscar Duryea. reputable dancing teach
er was arrested last October for not hav-
ing procured such a license. He was later
brought before the court Oh a writ OF
habeas corpus, which the court dismissed
but paroled the prisoner in the custody of
his counsel. The Appellate Division af-
firmed this action. and the case was car
ried to the Court of Appeals. which re-
verses the order and directs that the de-
fel.dant be discharged.
Judge Chase, writing the majority opin-
ion says the act in question is arbitrary
and uniustly diScriIninates against public
dancing academies. The act is not reve-
nue. measure, and the court has not in any
way considered the authority of the Legis-
lature to require a license for dancing
academies as means OF obtaining reve-
nue.. The court was divided in its decision.

The Fascination Of Bridge

Every once in a while there is a great

a rubber or two is played daily, and as
an after dinner amusement bridge is the
