New York, May l6.-Early yester-

just beginning to rub its eyes and sit

come others whose cranial append
ages were protected by coverings of
straw. Today other and less brave
de, otecs of fashion have donned the
festive straw, and the derby and the
moth balls have met again in scores
OF New York households.
Since the memory OF man runneth
not to the contrary custom has pre-
scribed that the right or privilege of
wearing straw hats on Manhattan
le shall extend from May 10 to Oc-

none tne less binding be ause of that.
Many man has seen his elaborate

note of spring, and baseball swells
