A BOON TO THE TRAVELLER.
Very Convenient Are the Hsspln Cases

ored Linen.

Convenient for travellers are the hat
pin cases made from white or colored
linen into compact roll. Cut piece
OF linen liz inches wide by IA long.
and finish the two sides and across
one end with a shallow. buttonholed
scallop. The other end can either. be
bound or have a line of stranght but
tonholing.
Fold the material twice like an en-
velope and on the flap part work the
word "hatpins." This can either run
straight across or can be iettered
obliquely. with the H" nearest the
scalloped edge OF the fap. Separate
the word in two parts. so that the rib
bon for tying the roll comes between
hat" and pins"
Sometimes the lettering is done In
satin stitch; again, 1t is worked In
cording stitch or merely heavily out
lined. The letters should be the color
OF the ribbon used for tying. II col
.ored linens are used. as are more serv-
iceable for travelling. the scallop and
lettering can be IN white. while the
ribbon should be the shade OF the
linen
Often in addition to the lettering de-
tached sprays are worked on the flap
In natural colors. Simpler cases can
be bound with tape or narrow ribbon
on edge. or even hemmed and finished
with machine stitching. II the letters
are outlined in color good effect car
be had at little work.
For the inside Of the case supply
a piece of eiderdown about half inch
narrower than the linen and as much
shorter as the length of the flap.
Through this the pins may be run. 1t
can be lifted out when the case is

LETTER FROM ATLANTIC CITY.
Correspondence of The union NEWS


ATLANTIC CRY, N. j.. September 15 1907
Your correspondent is enjoying her first visit
to Atlantic City. and the contrasts are striking
to the unsophisticated. We earriyed on the AT
lantic Special" on Friday, 10th instant. After
leaving Philadelphia, its environments and
suburbs we were struck with the barren stretch
of country the train travelled through. Moth
ing but scrubby underground for miles with
red clay. At rare intervals a small house, with
a few vegetables and little corn. would break
the monotony Of the desert-likc landscape, and
when finally we rolled into Atlantic City and
went to our hotel and registered, had dinner,
and went out to take in the sights, including the
Board Walk. with its vari icolored lights, palace
like hotels and shops, it seemed like fairyland
to the gray desert we had passed through few
hours earlier. Then the wonderful piers so
brilliantly Illuminated and the magnificent Ital-
land band on Steel Pier. and the other attrac-
tions. among them Young's Million Dollar Pier.
with its beautiful palace in which Captain Young
lives throughout the year built out in the ocean.
with an iron and concrete foundation, were in
teresting to the uninitiated. Then stretching
as far as eye could reach the boundless, turbu-
lent ocean, with its uperb distances and roll
ing waves suggesting mystery and Gods infin-
ity. Then the Board Walk. with its human tide,
each individual moving in the surging mass Of
humanity an atom of Gods infinity just as
each drop of salt water is an atom in the wide
ocean. Do the atoms or drops of water struggle
for place and position in the seething mass of
waters, or do they travel in their appointed
way was an interesting query to your cores
pondent.
Some one has said Atlantic City is the worlds
play ground. l think it would be well to say the
United States play ground, as the visitors are
residents of the different States in our glorious
Union. Whatever else may be said of Atlantic
City, il democracy must impress the visitor.
The faces one meets on the Board Walk and the
beach belong to the workingmen and women
equally with those who by their dress and man
ner suggest afiuence. and yet perhaps it Is the
delightful air. There is perfect freedom for the
rich and the poor alike to bask in the beautiful
September sunlight and disport themselves in
old oceans waves.
The crowds of August are gone and there are
just enough people here for one to be alone, if
one wants, or to enjoy community of thoughts
and interest with others if desire calls for it.
An old gentleman from the coal regions of
Maryland who has been coming here for forty
five years, told me he remembered where the
city now stands was patch of white sand or
beach. His description brought the thought as
swept my eyes up and down the beautiful, we'll
kept avenues of mans power and dominion in
so short time. H.

In connection with the approaching registra
ton of voters many inquiries have been made
for information concerning the so-caIled State
naturalization, or the declaration of intention
to become permanent resident of Maryland,
which must be made by any denizen of another
State upon coming to this "Land of the Brave
and Home of the Freep'
The applicant must apply in person to the
Clerk of the Circuit Court declaring his inten-
ton and giving certain other information tend
ing to identify him. This declaration is re-
corded by the Clerk in a book kept for that
purpose and must be made a year before the
election. Declarations made any time prior to
the last election will entitle the applicant to
vote this fall. The intending voter must secure
a certificate from the Clerk, and this may
either be taken out at the time of making
application or afterward, and if afterward it
can be sent for by mail or by messenger. This
certificate must be presented to the officers of
registration. The declaration, certificate and
registration are without cost to the applicant,
as the county pays all the expense. The
declaration must be made one year before the
eleStiOn, Oue uiay NC naue Oh the uay O4
arrival in this State, and all those who have
heretofore neglected this duty should attend to
it at once, in order to vote at the election
in 1910.
All of this has no reference to the naturali-
zation of aliens under the United States law,
which is now much more difficult than for
merIy. The Circuit Court will sit today at
Towson to hear the applicants under this law.
There are but four of these. the number being
in striking contrast to the crowds that used to
appear under the former statute, when as many
as one hundred foreigners sometimes came out
from the city in single day. In addition to
the four new applicants there are six who were
refused naturalization last year and may try
again this fall if they WISH

AN ART EXHIBITION.

Baltimore wants the proposed art exhibition
next spring, and yes, Baltimore county would
flock to it, too. The people want all such
splendid displays that they can get, and they
would like to have permanent gallery con-
tanning a fine collection of art objects, which
some persons naively think might result from
next years temporary affaif. But in pushing
their good scheme the men who have taken the
burden upon themselves assume that they pos
sess more of the earth than they really do.
The Fifth Regiment Armory was erected pri-
marily for the use of portion of the States
militia, and yet the worthy art lovers are sur
prised and perhaps little angry because the
trustees of the armory do not see their way
clear to turn over the huge building to them,
just when and for SO long time as they de-
mand. Everything and every body should give
way to them. 1t matters not that the spring
months are about the moot important of the
year for the regiment, and that ifthe exhibition
was held then in the armory the men would be
deprived of their practice for period of two
months mo, we must have it in the spring,
and shorter period than two months will not
do, and, what's more, if we don't get it we
won't play, so therel'' This is an unworthy
attempt to coerce those who have charge of the
buildings the spirit shown by the art lovers is
ungenerous, and the effort to bring pressure to
bear upon the trustees through the unthinking
or uninformed public is unwise and-a plain
case of misguided ZEAL
By all means let's have the exhibition, but
let's have it in the fall or else for shorter Pc
riod in the spring, or, again, in some other
place, even though that would make the affair
somewhat less magnificent. Whatever is done.
let US not disregard and trample upon the clear
rights and even the duties of others.
