Show V A I y I h r VVA ws H 111 j- I PEW years ago H I III 1 Life, that most H, 1 1 m I sparkling of pe- B I tZ I riodicals, put m III II out an "Improp- H r rIi er Number" for H the edification H of its readers. Among other good H things those readers will recall: H "This matter of propriety's so ma:ii- H festly local H That to speak of things improper sim- H ply labels one a yokel." H Which brings to mind the radical H change in the female bathing suit. H Have you noticed it? Of course it was H heralded long before, but no man knew H (outside the big watering places) that H it would ever be seen by the naked H eye. And it is certainly a thing of H beauty. Even the highly expurgated H shop windows on upper Main street Hj are showing the things and they do H take so little room. A bathing num- H her of Bridgeport Life has an editorial H on the subject which is worth reading, Hi a part of which follows: H' There is something radically and H1 fundamentally wrong with the minds H of those people yho cry out against H a sensible bathing suit for women. It H is in such minds that the fault lie3. H In their warped viewpoint there is no H recognition of the fact that the H "shamelessness" emanates from and is H engendered within the compass of H their own brains. They are the ones H that should be taken to task and their H minds fumigated, distinfected, so to H speak. H Bathing is a sport which makes for H health,, and so for happiness. Why Hl should not a woman be free to gain H both these desirable things in a way m that will allow her to secure the great- H est possible degree of benefit, and en- H sure also a maximum of safety? H Hl. -TND speaking of bathing and H t things it would seem that the H) water cure is very popular even in re- H gions far from the scene of the Hj drought of August first, as Avitness the H following from Town Topics: m The frequenters of the bathing H beach at Oyster Bay are thrifty and H inventive. They use their automobiles M for bath-houses. The consequence is Kj that the modesty of the home town of H Teddy has been terribly shocked. Ar- M rests have been made by the local au- Hl thorities and penalties imposed. But H a word should be said in behalf of H the offenders. They did not know Hj that it "was unlawful to use an auto- H' mobile for a bath-ho le. They thought ' that they were hiduju Irom the Peep- K ing Toms of Oyster Bay. They had H no thought of immodesty. Some of H them testified that they had not money enough to hire bathhouses, even though they came in motor cars to the water. One prisoner, who had three young women with him, declared declar-ed that he had only thirty cents in his pockets. What is a man to do with three girls, an automobile, an inviting beach and thirty cents? By the way, Oyster Bay is not the only place where such use is made of automobiles. It may be also observed that every man who rides in a motor car is not a millionaire. mil-lionaire. "IS but a few brief years since the V casual bridge player she who went out after the prize in the game was liable to be caught without a , purse, and obliged to depend on a kindly friend to pay her car fare. Not so today. The casual bridge player is no more. When she of the card game receives a bid for bridge, the only inquiry in-quiry she makes is: "Is it to last all night or all day?"; and then she stocks her mesh bag accordingly and frequently comes home with it much better stocked, and frequently she doesn't. The men about town claim that the gambling habit has fallen off very materially ma-terially in the past few years but they - poor deluled fools are not familiar with the many devises used by "lovey" to raise funds for the bridge game. The shop keepers say that they have had to resort to all sorts of ruses in the matter of itemized statements, padded accounts, etc., in order that the dear ladies may obtain "cash on hand" for the pursuance of this pleasure, pleas-ure, so necessary today to the society woman. Of course, the knitting bag is growing grow-ing so in popularity that it may take the place of the. little silver trifle which has held the whole of the exchequer ex-chequer frequently since the real bridge habit assumed such proportions. propor-tions. But even knitting has to be relieved re-lieved sometimes, and the days are gone when the handsomest prize purchased pur-chased at some bargain sale would tempt a good player to try her skill. II must be the real money or nothing nowadays. HE Wild Life of the Hills" has V come to have a new meaning near abouts. It refers to the loud night life- of some of the visitors to the canyon resorts, and in the vocabulary voca-bulary of the neighbors, it is characterized charac-terized even more strenuously. There is a bunch of choice profanity which would do credit to any golfer being hurled forth by one poor man whose calm and peaceful summer has been rudely disturbed by the wild orgies of his nearby neighbors. Two summer homes were built some years ago in, the halcyon days of friendship but the dreams of neighborly love and goodwill good-will have long since vanished and in their stead are stern realities. The canyon air is just as pure, the winds are just as fragrant, but the rays of good-will have got their wires crossed or something. So, like many another pair bound too closely for comfort, the quiet neighbor is threatening suits for damages and things, while the other is claiming a serious infringement of rights. And so, despite the fine view, the delights of cool air and balmy breezes, there is no peace there, nor any harmony. GAN it be possible that the great national bird the one we imported im-ported from Holland is becoming somewhat exclusive in his habits? A certain aristocratic section of the city seems to have been chosen as an especially es-pecially desirable place for his frequent fre-quent flights, and it is really becoming becom-ing very embarrassing for the few neighbors in that vicinity who have not been on speaking terms with the bird In recent years. There was a little lit-tle indignation meeting held the other evening among those who are planning plan-ning a hearty welcome for the big bird in the near future, and it was decided to request the "persons" who are not on his calling list for the late summer sum-mer or autumn, to change their place of habitation and leave the exclusive section with its reputation unimpaired.
