 A hat whose length and width seem to be reversed is broad-brimmed leghorn, turned up sharply in the back, like a Napoleonic hat. The top is swathed with green tulle, and over each side hang vivid green paradise plumes.
 Feathers and silk trimmings of all kinds will be fashionable. One hat is completely trimmed with cream white taffeta silk, accordeon plaited and tied in huge bow at the center of the crown.
 A charming design from London has B broad brim, turning up slightly at each side. A series of ribbon loops about the crown give the broad effeetso essential to an up-to-date hat, while a stiff aigrette and ostrich plumes give it height.
 With all the fuffs and furbelows of the present season, the tailor-made girl misses her native gowning. It is in the pique costumes, however, that she finds consolation. They are now trimmed with military braid and buttons, and have all the severity affected by that type of girl.
 A pique gown having some of the soft ness of the season is made with large velvet sleeves, green in color. It also has g loose velvet belt and a front of soft green chiffon.
 The skirt is full and adorned with frogs, while the bodice shows a similar decoration. A large white hat, with

NATURALIZED TOO LATE TO VOTE.
CRITICISM OF JUDGE HURD's ACTION IN
GRANTING PAPERS AFTER AUGUST T.

There is a tendency to criticise Judge Hurd be-
he continues to naturalize applicants for
citizenship. although August was the last day
on which the acquiring OF citizenship entitled q
man 10 vote ct the coming election. Il is freely
admitted that Judge Hurd has a perfect right to
grant citizenship papers now. but II Is said by
those who should know that the Judge is not fol-
lowing in the path of precedent when he does
this in the days when one cannot become citizen
in time FOR the election. The Republicans are
preparing prevent any OF those now being made
citizens from voting this fall.
Inasmuch the Constitution OF the State OF
New-York provides that naturalized citizens TO be
entitled vote must be citizens Of the State OF
New-York for ninety days previous to Election
Day instead of ten days, provided by the old
constitution and by the act OF 1895 all applicants
for naturalization I'm the Of the State must
file a notice with the city or town clerks at least
fourteen days before .he hearing Of the petition
by any State court. any person naturaized has
then Oi days before the date Of the election,
which falls on November this year II seems
strange to many people that Judge Hurd should
after the termination OF the limit Of time thus
prescribed by the Constitution and law continue
the process Of naturalization The United States
Court which is not bound by the State law as to
the limit taking account OF the right or priv-
lege OF voting incident TO citizenship. summarily
stopped the making OF citizens on August l. Tho
United States Court thus recognizes. at least by
courtesy the laws Of the State OF New-York with
reference to this subject.
The universal practice OF all the courts OF tho
State OF New-York. under the old Constitution ana
laws. was to cease naturalization ten days before
the election.
Since August about two hundred petitions for
citizenship papers have been made TO Judge Hurd.
and from appearances these petitions are 10 DO
received indefinitely up to the time OF the election
There is doubt expressed by those who are
inclined to orticise Judge Hurd to the discre-
tionary power of the courts TO naturalize any
petitioner at any time nor Is there any question
that this practice Is perfectly lawful but II is
apparent that many persons naturalized between
August and the day OF registration or election

make themselves liable 10 punishment steps Will
