TT is interesting to see how different
countries view the behavior that
. should accompany such departure
from the usual conventional costume in
pubic as the bathing dress illustrates.
In England. which permits a decollete
gown in the evening exceeded by no
other country the modest bather Is car
ried out into the water in a bathhouse on
wheels from which, seen by no profane
eye, the bather may descend into the
water. Here the bathhouse waits until
she is ready to climb in again and be
drawn back to the shore. Meanwhile the
bather disrobes, and putting on her walk
ing costume. reappears as If nothing more
important had happened than a closer
view of the sea. This secluson is prob
ably why the English bathing dress has
never been the attractive garment we
know.
In France the etiquette OF the beach is
rninutely described. The lighthouses on
the level beaches of the channel, as AT
Trouville are some distance back. From
these the bather emerges clad in an en-
yeloping burnous of Turkish toWeling. On
the brink of the surf she casts aside the
yrap. TO be taken care of by maid, some
member of her family or frieno, ana

When one sees the French bathing
dress 1t becomes apparent why its wearer
does not wish to be seen. Imagine short

ankle ending in a frill. The feet are pare.
but protected by canvas bath shoes. For

posters mploring you not to go TO the

are known as "Amelies," the form of the
advertisement being character1stically
French.
The basque has a very short skirt. and
Is frequently lavshly trimmed. However,

The decoration of fans has always
proved fascinating to French artists. and
such masters as F'ragonard, Boucher.
Watteau and Lancret did not consider
the painting of lovely figures on the
dainty fans as beneath their dignity.
In the Louis XIV period they were beau

ers with bright varnish that gave the
painting an appearance OF enamel which
is known even to this day as "Vernis
Martin" A number of the handsomest
