Possessed Vague Idea.
Most male persons, the unmarried kind,
anyhow. have probably possessed the vague
idea. right along, that the feminine bathing
dress comprises three pieces. This. how
ever. Ii seems. Is an error. The feminine
bathing dress, UP to the present season.
has been strictly a two-piece affair, the
union garment-for it appears that It's a
union garment-buttoned down the front
Some or the girls this season. however,
are wearing three-piece suits, the kind tn,
average man thought they'd always worn.
ihese three-piece bathing suits. though,
look different.
AS to the-that is. as to one of the gar
ments, they're pretty snug. apparently
almost as snug as one of the garments ot
a mans two-piece bathing suit. The short
skirt screens this snugness, in a way. I'M
tess the surf Is particularly rough and i'm
polite.
But the waist, which is hitched to the
which Is held in place. somehow or an
other. is altogether different from the old
style feminine bathing dress in that It but
tons at the back.
The buttons are as tiny and foolish-look-
Ing, too, as those on some peek-a-boo
waist, and 1t is already being predicted
down here that some OF the girls who adopt
the button-at-the-back bathing suit are
bound to break their arms before, the sea-
son is over.
Broke Her Arm >
girl out west somew here broke her arm
the other day while trying to button her
waist at the back. and the bathing waist OF
like pattern really looks a whole lot mora
difficult on account of the. -slipperiness OF
the material, which Is generally of silk or
mohair. Then too, the bathing rooms are
usually pretty dark. so that the girl with
one of these waists can't very well see
what she's doing IN the buttoning line IN
the little glass. 1t appears that the girls
who wear 'em go to the bath rooms in
pairs and help each other out with the but
toning. But the back buttons of these
new-fangled bathing suits will come
fastened, just as the back buttons OF shirt
waists viii do. so that the girl who wears
one of these things in the water has got to
be on her guard all the time.
A lot of male beings down here are wou-
dering whether it would be etiquette, so
to speak, to tell a bathing girl that her
waist was unbuttoned at the back, If that
happened to be the case. Some of the
less diffident and bashful males. however.
don't waste any time wondering about the
matter at all. They just go up behind the
girl In that fix in the water. say to her:
Sister. they're coming undone, and I'm
on the job II you're not going to get cross"
and they just button the. buttons In a way
that denotes considerable previous expe-
rleUCe ana CidItHldHSfip, these young men
probably having sisters of their own.
1t Is really a distressing sight to see q
girl trying to button one OF these back-but
toning bathing waists after she's got all
wet. She's generally limp and nervous. and
the sticky salt water causes her arms to
glue to her sides when she essays to reach
around for the back buttons. Ii may be
imagination, but some folks claim that I'm
such predicaments some girls will look
around appealingly, and these mean critics
declare, too. that the more dazzling a girls
skin is the more likely she Is to be found
casting her gaze about in this beseechfui
way.
But all of the jealous slurs made by these
seaside dowagers are not to be believed, OF
course. c. l.. c.
