will be high, because she was restored In

eichty-three hours on the sand. Had she

Irene TO go into drydock at the yards OF

the charge for drydocking is based on time

NATURALIZATION ABROAD.

1t would take too much time and space
to enumeratc here all the laws of Great
Britain, Of her self governing colonies
and Of other foreign countries. on the
subject of naturalization. One thing,
however. may be said namely, that the
securing Of naturalization abroad Is at
tended by a far greater amount of diff
Guilty than here in the United States.
The requirements are much more severe
and their fulflment far moro strictly en-
forced.
In Great Britain, for instance, the
left to mere commissioners. but is dc
tcrmined by the Secretary Of state for
the Home Department in person, who
does not affiX his signature TO the Ger
tifcatc OF naturalization until he is in
possession of guarantees from thoroughly
responsible parties that the record Of the
candidate in the land Of his birth IS one
that is entirely clean. In q number of
European countries ten years residence
is demanded before an application for
naturalization can be considered, while
in Switzerland citizenship Of some Hell
vetian city, town or even village which
often can be obtained only by election, is
one OF the qualifications demanded for
citizenship Of the republic.
In this connection 1t may bc stated
that inquiries arc often made as 20 the
loss Of citizenship by a woman through
marriage 10 Il foreigner II is generally
accepted by all civilized powers that a
woman who wods an alien loses her own
nationality and acquires thereby that Of
her husband. 1t is on this ground That
an American woman who weds for
cigner can secure the dissolution Of her
marriage only from the tribunals Of her
husbands country. and that those Of the
land az her birth arc incompetent TO
grant her relief unless her husband hap
pens to have established his legal DOM
icilc i'm America.
Thus the divorce which Mrs. James
Burke Roche. daughter OF the late Frank
Work, Of New York. obtained years ago
here in the United States from her Brit
ish husband has never been recognized
by the English courts as valid. James
Burke Roche was able. indeed, to secure
! judgment in London for damages from
the publishers Of English works Of ref
] orence which had described him as a
divorced man, the judges taking the
ground that he was not divorced; and
since he is next heir to the honors and
estates of his chidless brother. Lord Fer
noy. Mrs. Burke Roche, despite her
American divorce, will become full
fedged peeress of the English realm on
the Barony Of Formoy.

had usually decided against the present

THE BRITISH EXPATRIATE.

The British citizen who secures letters
OF naturalization in the United States or
elsewhere abroad renouncing his British
allegiance. becomes, ipso facto, an alien
in the eyes of the English law and sub
jected TO all the disabilities of an alien.
Moreover, in order to recover his British
citizenship he must secure letters of
English naturalization and fulfil all the
formalities and requirements in connec-
ton with the long and tedious process
just as If he were q foreigner by birth.
H. fact. there is only one advantage
which he enjoys above the foreign born
English citizen. namely. certain Offices
and dignities are open to him which are
barred 10 British subjects of alien birth.
Thus. no one belonging to the latter
category can be created a peer of the
realm ard it is for this reason that
neither William Waldorf Astor nor his
son, Waldorf, now Member of Parliament
for Portsmouth, can ever hope TO occupy
a seat in the House of Lords.
ON the other hand, the American born
son of q British emigrant to this country
and his son in turn. retain the full rights
Of British citizenship. providing the al

been abjured, no matter if The one or the
other has never set foot on British terri

father had been a British citizen and
since neither he nor their father had alb
jured British allegiance, they themselves
were entitled by English law to be con-
sidered as full fedged British citizens.

WHAT DOES FRESHNESS REALLY
MEANT

Flowers plucked yesterday, left in the
living room, will not be found as fresh
today as those plucked even days before
which have been kept protected from the
atmosphere and dust.
Exactly the same thing is true of
cooking fats. Most of them are packed
in tubs or loose-covered pals exposed
to the air, dust or odors, and they
quickly deteriorate in quality. Cotto-
1ene, however, is packed in sealed, air
tight pals. No matter how long it is
kept, Cotto1ene is absolutely fresh-"un-
diminished in excellence, unimpaired in
strength"-the real meaning of the
word as given by standard 1exicons.
