an old stocking with the foot cut out

In the course OF his constabulary
duties the officer reported this incl
lent to the town park commission OF
Rye. OF which George j. Werner is
the head. In addition to being chair
man OF the park commission, Mr..
Werner is the Republican candidat.
for sheriff of westchester county and
is chairman of the Westchester board
o. supervisors, having been twice
| elected from the town OF Rye.
HIT UPON NEW SCHEME.
His duties are varied and manifold.
but none has proved so perplexing as
administering the Affairs OF Rye's new
$500. 900 bathing park. The incident
OF the lightly clad lady and the town
constable typines the problem with
which Mr.. Werner and his associates
on the park commission have been
wrestling all summer.
They think now that they have
found a very ingenius solution TO IT,
and in a short time they VIII put into
effect a plan which they believe VIII
eliminate one-piece bathing suits, W
shaped bodices and stockingless legs.
The commission, OF which Theodore
Friend. president of the village or
Rye; John Schick, president or the
village OF Port Chester. and Henry
C. Weeks. of Rye Neck. are the other
members,-expects to have its new
scheme perfected this week. Consid-
erable opposition is being raised TO
putting the new idea into operation
this year, as II is pointed out that
changing the styles of bathing suits
so late in the season would result IN
ali sorts of confusion.
Nevertheless, the Park commission
ers are determined that their beach
on busy days shall no longer re-
sembIe that we'll KNOWN oil paiting
entitled THE Woodland Nymphs.' IL
the women really must go in swim
ming there they will have to put
something on. And that something
must cover the shoulders and stretch
in nom -peeakaboo style all the way
down to the knees, where the hem OF
the skirt must meet stockings of
the full length variety.
A STANDARDIZED SUIT.
With this idea in view the COM
missioners will get busy this week
and design standardized municipal
bathing suits for both men and
women, and an ordinance providing
for their use at Rye Beach will be
adopted by the board of trustees OF
Rye Village at it's next meeting.

GOVERNMENT PERMITS
USE OF LIGHTHOUSE

Many Of the scenes which play a
mos important part in the great Naz-
inca production, "Out of the Fog,'
viii h will appear at the Grand The
atrc on Friday and Saturday, were
mate at well-known lighthouse on
the coast of Maine. Permission for
this unusual privilege was granted by
the Governments representative of
the Nazimova Production Company
having gone on a special trip to
Washington for this purpose.
"Out Of the Fog" is a tremendous
drama Of the sea and gives Nazimova
two distinctive roles which provide
every opportunity for her varied and
intense powers. Some of the scenes
depict the light house as it stands on
tn rock bound New England coast
a lonely object on this desolate spot
dashed and buffeted by the storm
tossed waves. Others are taken in the
light tower-showing the revolving
light which is seen by ships far out at
sea, warning them Of the treacherous
rocks and shoals upon which the bea-
con stands. These scenes are unusual
in that it is seldom that the privilege
for taking pictures on Government
property is granted.
