CHECKING POSTER NUISANCE.

Some day we may catch up with
Europe in signboard regulation. At
present there is a strong tendency to
restrict the defacing of landscapes.
New York and Rhode Island have just
enacted laws forbidding the posting
of business or commercial advertising
along any highway, or the placing OF
bills or billbOards on private property
without the consent of the owner.
Measures of the same sort have al
ready been adopted in other states.
Pennsylvania, which has a fairly good
law is making a special effort TO en-
force it, In Indiana it is left largely
to the cities
Though this policy means a consid-
cradle Improvement, it doesn't really
go very far. measured by foreign stan
dards In Great Britain and Switzer-
land it is an accepted principle that
the public has right not to have adj
refreshments Haunted in it's face. Ads
Injurious to the landscape" must not
be placed where the travelling public
Will have to look at them. 1t is I'M
lawful to exhibit them where they are

way or foot way"
Americans are not so easily offend
ed artistically as Europeans. Every
year. however. there is greater indig-
nation against the billbOards and
painted signs that spoil so many of
the most beautiful scenes visible from
train windows. We are more tolerant
in the towns than in the country. Few
self-respecting farmers would stand
for the hideous advertising signs that
form the dominant scenic note of
nearly every city.

THE CABARET" FAD.

One of the most conspicuous crazes
of metropolitan city life for the past
two years has been the cabaret" en-
tertainments at restaurants and hotels.
A dispatch from New York indicates
that the proprietOrs are finding them
too costly and would like TO chuck
them. Also the theaters are feeling
the competition.
Judging from the generous space
taken by advertising these resorts in
the newspapers, they must have at
tracted a big business.
AS a form Of public entertainment
they have seemed Frenchy rather than
American. They appear suited 10 the
atmosphere Of Gay Paree," where the
favorite entertainment is not drama
or athletics but sitting in the open-air
boulevard restaurants and watching
the styles go by.
The appetite of modern society is
jaded, and it demands its constant
novelties and spicy seasoning. PrOba-
bly, the "cabarets" were popular at
first because they seemed foreign and
Frenchy. The public demand is SEN
suous, and it calls for color and mo-
tiOn and rag time and high kicking.
The cabaret entertainments have been
no better and no worse than theater
performances. The foOtlights artists
simply came down among the dining
tables. The advanced modern Ameri-
can liked it because he could kill sew
eral birds with one stone. eat, drink,
and see a vaudeville show at the same
time
For the mass of the people the ex-
otto manners of New York city will
not be necessary. Extraneous diver
sions should not be essential to make
a well served meal palatable. If you
are with friends, the social converse
of the hour should be enough Other
wise, the human drama played at the
tables about you is cabaret enough.
Fragments of conversation, the study
OF faces and observations of types, the
speculation as to character and occu-
pations, these alone make any public
dining hall full of human interest.

Little White Lies

sense of honor. The dangerous hab-

life from the highest to the lowest,
and il is this habit which has led to
the necessity of using white lie"
