Custom Men Nab “A Few Trifles”

This New York relative of the millionaire Gould family described as a “few trifles” >565 worth of goods which the customs officials informed hpr they intended to confiscate unless she would pay duty on them. The “few trifles” consisted of one gown and-wrap, one gold mesh bag, one gold clgaret case, one lace waist, several pieces of costly china and some other articles. When Mrs. Hamilton arrived the goods were seized, she can recover them if she pays the duty; otherwise the customs officials will hold them.

Mrs. William A. Hamilton.
