PROPER HOURS FOR a WOMAN.
New York Judge Rules She ShonId

New y DIRK Judge Huies she ShOuId
Be Home at Midnight.
NEW YORK, Dec 13.-Justice Andrews
in the Supreme Court has handed down
decision IN which he, in effect, holds that
a woman should be home by Midnight.
The question arose on an application by
Florence Abel. a dressmaker. to enjoin
Jacob a omdrak. her landlord, from clos
ing the front door Of the house and not
Immediately admitting her when she rang
the bell.
Miss Abel says she leased two rooms to
carry On her dressmaking and sleep IN
She was to be allowed to have her shop
open from q N. to 10 p n. but was to
be admitted afterward Eat any reasonable
time" She complained that on November
10 and 13 she was locked cut, and on the
second occasion had to take q room at
hotel. She said that she did not think it
unreasonable that she should go in the
evenings to a theatre or elsewhere with
friends. She asked that the owner be
compelled either to give her a key OF see
that she was admitted whenever she rang.
Omdrak said it was necessary 10 keep
the house locked at night. as other ten
ants had a great amount OF valua5Ies
there The first night mentioned. he said,
there vas some delay in admitting Miss
Abel and the second night he and his
family had gone to bed and did not hear
her
Justice Andrews said he could not com
pei Omdrak to give Miss Abel a key. as
by the terms of her lease she was only
entitled to access at reasonable hours
He granted her. however, a preliminary
injunction requiring Omdrak to permit her
to enter at all reasonable hours and
promptly open the door for her up to u
o'clock at night"

any uneasiness.
Aside from the appearance of half
dozen steel workers, who were under coz
tracts signed some time ago, there has
been no increase Of the working force,
and but little material for the new Cup
defender has arrived
As stated recently, the Herreshofs show
sraaH interest in the boat to be designed,
built, manned, and sailed BY Boston men.
When asked Why more curiosity was not
exhibited by John B. HerrskefT, the blind
boatbuilder. and his brother Nat" the
wizard designer, boatbui1der who has
their confidence said:
"Tiey have contracted with the New
York syndicate to build a Cup defender,
which viii show a greater speed than CO.

that from FIVE to ten minutes better time
can be guaranteed. and have so stated TO
the gentlemen. who have ordered the new
yacht.

during the past year with models, and has
something 10 justify his claims IN this as
sertien- There is not now in existence
another yacht IN the world equal to CT
Iumbia, nor another designer beside her
own who understands Why this is so.
Other builders have yet to build yacht
to equal the discarded Cup defender Of 1893.
while The Herreshoffs are working along
known lines with the certainty of ifnprov-
ing upon them. That is the chief reason
they feel no anxiety about their rival. and
why Sir Thomas Upton fears their cham
