The Ocean City Trolley

Ocean City's trolley situation is very
much "up ia the air." The road In re-
CEN years has not paid, and now its
owners want to have 1t go the same
road to the junk pile that the trolleys
of Sea Isle City and Cape May have
gone. The bond holders and owners OF
the Ocean City road have practically
issued an ultimatum to the City Com
missioDers. The line will either be sold
for junk, or sold to the city for 1874, 900,
the figure named being considered a
fair value by the owners. and an actual
loss of many thousands of dollars over
the actual cost Of the road years ago.
1t is highly probable that the city will
buy the road and operate it.-Seo Isle
City Times.

wrinkle when they are buttoned up
close about the throat.
Patch pockets and medium-sized
bone buttons, that match the cloth in
the suit in color, appear with such
frequency that they may be considered
features Of the new styles. Collars
are not always of the same material
as the coat, for velvet and fur are used
In many of them.
A practical and pretty suit for the
college girl who must now be QUILTED
with a wardrobe for fall, Is shown in
the picture. 1t Is a double-breasted
model in a dark mixture, with plain
brown velvet turnover collar that but
tons up about the throat. It's belt
fastens with a buckle covered with the
material, and it's buttons match the
cloth in color. The coat is even in
length all around and somewhat longer
than those of the past season. The
skirt is plain, ankle length and wide
enough for comfortable walking.
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1918-11-08

First impressions Of the new fall
suits leave a sense of their s~turdiness
and easy lines In the mind before the
eye begins to sum up all the details
that pronounce them the creations Of
this season. Dark mixtures, plain
cloths with soft finish and the attri-
butte of warmth-in their appear
ance at least-in browns, blues. green's
and grays, appear popular In the
showings in the same order as they are
mentioned here. Brown, in several
warm and several dark shades has
been chosen for street and for formal
suits, with such persistence that 1t may
displace navy blue which has had a
phenomenal vogue. Browns and mix
lures in brown and gray seem some
how to associate themselves in the
mind with khaki and in a few of the
new models the styles are very dis
tinctly of military origin.
In ordinary street suits many of the
new coats r semiitpng, with a loose,
narrow belt Of the fabric, defining a
high waistline. There are some new
double-breasted models in which the
~lapped-oyer fronts are trimmed away
in several novel ways. On both single
and double-breasted styles necks are
high and coats button up to the top
of the collar which is more than tall
enough to reach the chin. Sometimes
the collars are of the turnover variety,
but oftener they are straight and

Soldiers Letter

Letter from George G. Conner, who
has a summer home at Anglesea, to
his wife and daughter:
Sept. 23d, 1918.
Somewhere outside Gods country.
My dear Bess and Dorothy:
Between showers. we are having 'em
every minute or SO now, interspersed
with sunshine and not so cold, but raw
and chilly, 1 felt like writing you a
line or Sc. l sent a 2e-page letter, "a
regular novel," our censor, Adjutant
Cummings, says, 10 "Uncle" Edward
Box. I told him to use it for the Lib
erty Loan purposes and then send it
on to you at Anglesea.
/ suppose and expect to be home
next summer sometime, but we have a
long, cold hard winter before US.
In your spare time do all that you
can for the Liberty Loans and the "Y"
drive that is coming. Work for the
Red Crosse. Remember, the more any
one does, the sooner this thing will be
wound up in the usual first class
American style. Our fighting allies
are all taking heart and the Hun will
have nc rest this winter, rain or shine.
So far, / have received a few lines
from you mailed to me in New York
the day / left that burg, July 9Th. AL
tho we made two starts before that, one
at Newport News. We anchored
off Long Island the first "a honra,
abreast Coney Island. 1t looked like
the Wildwood board ak at night. l
worked as a stretcher bearer at nights
in Paris at Red Cross base hospital
No. 2. On the Chatesu-Thierey drive
l carried lads up four flights of wind
ing stairs. Many of them were all
shot to pieces, yet never a whimper;
most of them were smiling. I'll never
forget it, nor will l ever forget the
night we got shot-up so bad in B. 1t
blew out my windows before 1 got to
the abeir. The Huns lit down red
lights out Of the sky until it looked
like a Fourth Of July or rather a politi-
cal parade on Broad street. I'll never
forget that-believe me, daughter. 1t
was quite an experience.
We have our "Yn hut erected and I
need not say the place is popular. 1
told all about it in my letter written to
you and to Uncle Edward Box. 1 am
one lucky guy. I am fixed up like a
rear admiral now in my poop-deck cab
In in the stern of the good ship Y,
rated apparently AS the flag ship of the
squadron. Our Captain (now major
Roban showed off into the stream-his
tent was lying abreast my hut. but be-
tween the orchestra and the piano go
ing at once and a hundred men sing
ing Tor cussing) he said the weather
got too thick for him, SO be showed of
a couple of hundred feet astern. out OF
the noise. It's all great! Now daugh-
ter this is just q little note. Write to
me and tell some of my friends to
loosen up and write to a fellow.
With love,
DAD.
