Adventures With a Purse

THEY went to New York on bust. :.

ting candy. But they ran across it.
and decided right then and there that
they must have it for their shop, even
if it is not candy shop. ''If New
York can have such delicious candy. so
can Philadelphia" they wisely argued.
So now 1t is in their shop. and every.
body hocks to buy more. And no won.
der! The box itself is the sort you
can hardly wait to empty so that you
can use it to keep things in. 1t is tin.
painted n dull blue. with a design on
the top in rich dull puppies. reds and
blues. The candy is imported-mOuth- =
melting Viennese chocolates of all va
rieties. You can get it in boxes which
look for all the world like the kind cx-
pensivc face powder comes in. This is
the matinee size and costs twenty five
cents. Then the half-pound box is
81. 10. and the pound 50. If there is
any doubt about the goodness of this
extraordinary confection. you could
first purchase n twenty-five cent box,
and investigate for yourself.
Now that spring Is, nthe manner of

SUP PRENECOURT
DECIDES WOMEN
Vote ISLECAL
Dismisses Appeals In Brief
Opinion By Justice
Brandeis
BLOCKS REFERENDUM
Suffrage Amendment Held Equally
Valid With The One Removing All
Racial Barriers

Washington, Feb. 2S.-In decisions
that may assume historic Importance,
but seemed unusually brief and curt.
/ the Supreme Court Of the United
States yesterday dismissed the at
tacks on the validity of the Nineteenth
Amendment, granting suffrage to
women.
Justice Louis D. Brandeis handed
down the opinions. There was no dis
sent.
The attacks on the amendment were
made in two cases. One was that
brought by Oscar Lesser and others
aaginst J. Mercer Garnett, an election
official in the Eleventh ward of Baltl-
more, challenging the legality of bal
lots accepted from women. The State
courts decided against Mr.. Lesser
The other case was brought by
Charles S. Fairchild in the District Of
Columbia, where the courts decided
against him.
In the Lesser case the Supreme
Court dismissed the petition for writ
of error, brought when appeal was
taken from the Maryland Court of .AH-
peals, but granted the writ Of cer:;-
orari asked by the appellants After
deciding those points, Justice Bran
deis discussed in few words the ar
guments made by William l.. Mar
bury, chief counsel for Mr.. Lesser. He
held:
/. That the Nineteenth Amendment
is like the Fifteenth. The former
strikes down barriers to suffrage
based on sex; the latter barriers based
on race. One amendment can not &c
valid and the other. invalid. and the
Fifteenth has been accepted for manly
years. The contention that it was
not adopted in accort.'with prescribed
methods and was practically war
measure was put aside with the sta.e-
ment that it "can not be entertained.
.. That the laws of States can not
restrict the Legislatures in acting on
proposed Federal amendments. That
action is Federal function and TIE
States have no power to change the
methods prescribed in the Federal
Constitution. This was in reference
to State laws requiring submission of
proposed Federal amendments to the
people before adoption or rejection by
the Legislature, which the opponents
of suffrage contended had been vio-
lated
3. That the point that the ratifica-
tions of Tennessee and West Virginia
were not legally made might be dis
missed with the statement that subsc-
,quent!y Connecticut and Vermont
ratified. However. it was stated that
the broader point should be made that
certiications of ratification were
made to the Secretary of State Of the
United States and he had no authority
to 90 behind those certifications.

PRINCESS MARY
WEDDING GIFTS
FILL PALACE
Has Busy Day Receiving
Them And Trying on
Gowns
WANAMAKER GIFT
Bride.to-Be and Viscount Lascelles,
The Groom Appear at flnai
Party

London, Feb. 2S.-Princess MARI
and Viscount Lascelles spent the last
morning before their wedding rece'v-
ing number of individuals and depu'
tations, whose offerings swelled the
vast collection of gifts already over
flowing the state rooms of Bucklng-
ham Palace.
To each visitor bringing gift the
princess expressed her thanks. DurlnG:
the past fortnight she had voiced
dozens Of these acknowledgements
daily, rushing from the receiving
rooms from time to time to give her
dressmakers opportunities for the
necessary trying on of her ne"
gowns.
Despite the fact. however, that
Princess Mary has devoted so many
hours to the receiving of presents, the
demands upon her time have been so
great that hundreds of persons have
been obliged to leave their gifts with
her secretaries or the palace attend
ants, and to such persons written ac-
acknowledgements will be sent.
Among the gifts received today was
a pair of silver candlesticks from Rod
man Wanamaker, Of New York, pre-
sented for him by Colonel George
Wood, personal representative IN
London. Princess Mary thanked
Colonel Wood and said the candlesticks
would be placed among her choicest
possessions and would always be
greatly treasured.
Most of the presents received by the
bride are of useful character. One
mammoth necklace, loaded with jew
els, is so ponderous and heavy that It
has earned from Prince George the
designation of "Mary's serial neck
lace" as it will have to be worn in IN
stalments This gift recalls remark
made aside by the late King Edward
to a member of his party when given
a similarly weighty present in India.
"Now get a crane and let's take It
home"
The precincts of Westminster Alb
bey and Buckingham Palace were
thronged yesterday with the corious.

weather to look over the wedding ar
rangements or await the chance of see

The weather conditions are being
watched and speculated upon most
closely in connection with today's
event, as they appear to be the only
unknown quantity in connection with
the wedding. The details of the ar
rangements now having been comp!et-

to make the setting ideal. The wealth

tervals of sunshine. Those VINO have
long been anticipating the event are
hoping that one of these intervals will
continue from 10:30 to 1890 o'clock
