THE SiGNgOARD NUISANCE.

(Ffom the New York World.)
Something has been accomplish
ed in recent years by various orga
nizations toward checking the
abuse OF deiHcinE the countryside
with glaring SignbOards-not very
much TO be sure, but at least De
ginning. The help OF the American
Automobile Association, which has
volunteered for the movement
should be effective; in other mat
ters its officials have shown ener-
gy, and its membership covers ma.
ny States.
AS good roads have multiplied
largely III response 10 the demands
of mtomobiists of all classes, 50
the signboard nuisance has spread
in new directions. Ii used to be
chiefly along main travelled railroad
lines that the passengers eye was
weafied by the signpainter's glori-
fication of Goldfish, corsets and can
ned goods Now herever the auto

The State Highway Commission

Barnegat Bay from Toms River TO
Seaside Heights. This will cost

very reluctant 10 spend that am

gerous. The new bridge will be OF

EOR some time lingerie styles,
l. though much varied in minor de-
tails, have shown few Important
changes. and nothing very radical
in that particular appears in the
fall modes now making their ap-
pearance. But there are a few new
items in the cut and trimming of
chemise and gowns that are note
worthy.
First there is much evidence of
elaborate lacy treatments in trim
ming, especially noticeable in
gowns. Filet, Irish, val and cluny
laces, reinforced by net and net
footing and by georgette in bands
and ruffies, are used for the square,
V-shaped or round necklines which
are interpreted in endless pretty
ways on fall models. Many gowns
are ruffied or bordered at the bot
tom with one of these airy trim
ming mediums, and many of them
reveal uneven hemlines. Rudi-
ments of the banished sleeve APP
