The Anti-Noise Corporation

1906

Mrs. Isaac I. Rice, Who Smothered Hudson Tugboats, Will Head It

The Society For the Suppression of Unnecessary Noise will be the name of a corporation of which Mrs. Isaac I. Rice of Eighty-ninth street and Riverside drive, New York, will be the head.

It was Mrs. Rice who led the successful crusade last summer against the excessive whistling of river craft on the Hudson, says the New York World. Mrs. Rice said recently that on the advisory board of the new organization there will be the names of physicians, college professors, publicists and literary persons.

The S. S. U. N. will fight auto horn tooting and trolley car gong ringing near hospitals, noisy milk wagons (if they must operate at daylight let them have pneumatic tires on wheels and pneumatic buffers on noisy lids), noisy street hawkers and too noisy children.


Now the Glove Monogram

Constantly seeking new adornments, miladi has hit on a gold monogram for her left glove, says a correspondent of the New York Press. And a bewitching innovation it is. Monograms on pocketbooks and châtelaine bags are old and probably suggested the latest fad. The monogram is used only for street gloves. It is fastened on the glove below the wrist, and when the hand is closed the letters show up vividly and give emphasis to the grace and beauty of the hand. Among the shoppers in the fashionable stores along Fifth avenue many women can be seen wearing gloves with their initials in gold. The monogram is made with a clasp pin and can be quickly transferred from one glove to another.
