Country Life
WATCH THE ROAD.
Most holidays nowadays are spent in part, if not wholly, along the roads ; and some holiday-makers at' any rate did not travel so fast that they were unable. to see the roadside. These may have noticed that a good many of the trees along new main roads were maimed or bent, and all planted in -a straight line. 'Mr: Guy 'Dawber, that well- known architect, who has done and is doing the greatest service in the work of preserving rural England, has made a plea both for the better tending of the trees and for an artistic grouping. Some of the new roads have margins quite Wide enough for groups or 'little clumPs of trees, though on others it may be best to give the Motorists avenues to " explore," as leader-thitera say.
