ENGLISH MIXED BATHING.
The Jolly Social Function on the
Sands at Folkestone.

FROM the London Mail.
In Folkestone one bathes and is I'M
ashamed. 1t has come to be recognized,
after centuries of guilty concealment, that
men. women and children have legs and
arms and bodies and heads. and that
there is nothing criminal in their posses
sion The result is new delight at the
seaside. Instead of taking prison and
getting jolted to death you take tent.
Instead of leaving your wife, sister, daugh-
ter or sweetheart segregated with her sex
and shrouded at the end of a rope. at t'olke-
stone you take her with you and teach
her to swim, or perhaps she teaches you.
AS result the bathing becomes not
only a vast frolic in the sea. but a jolly
social function on the shore. Looking
around on the hundreds of bathers laugh
ing. splashing. diving. swimming, rag2in2
each other. or lOunging on the shore,
think of Mrs. Grundy. One of the celeb.
rites l never met: think She must have
been a Mrs. Harris. There cannot have
been such person. else she would not
have been So completely routed on bat
tleground she has made peculiarly hel

under which it performs public additions

freedom is over. This method Of mixing

among prurient-minded people. is In ac-
tual practice frasrantly sane, and its
breezy lack of ef-consciOusness will pre-
vent it from being shamed back to obliv-
ion by the man with the Salacious leer
1t is too good a thing to lose, this liberty
only lately gained. A bathing costume
is most desirable on a hot day. Tired OF
the cool of the sea, in it one may take

tonic graces in salt water and virtue in
fresh air one may have both for the
good they hold at the same time.

FIFTH AVENUE NOW HAS
ITS OWN COMMISSION
Body of Experts Appointed to
Plan Improvement of
important Street.

Fifth avenue in New York has long
held such high reputation as the center
of the social life of the city. and the lead
ing street of the country that its recent
deterioration in appearance has caused
considerable unfavorabe comment The
main reason for this has probably been
the gradual introduction of business
places where only a few years ago the
homes of many of the leading citizens
were located. This encroachment of bust
ness upon residential property is inevi
able. however and the problem of 9TH
avenue is to make the thoroughfare as
attractive as practicable throughout its
long extent, whether it passes through
business sections, residential districts or
sections where one blends into another
The thoroughfare is still one OF the most
important in the city. and since the auto
mobile has become so common it has u
peculiar traffic which makes the road
way as we'll as the whole street present
rather unique problem
The development of the possibilities of
the thoroughfare are SO important that
the borough president has recently taken
the very wise steA Of appointing an adj
visory commission to assist him in MAX
ing the avenue the one street beautiful
of the country. Arnold w Drummer rep
resents the architectural profession on
this commission and Is its chairman
Nelson =. Lewis is the engineer men,
Der, and the real estate interests and
legal profession are represented. This
commission has been appointed for the
purpose Of investigating every possible
method of improving the street so as to
make it attractive and useful as pos
sble. The interests along the avenue
are numerous and important to the
citys affairs that this appointment of a
special body to study them is we'll war
ranted and while it is an innovation it
is one of those steps forward for which
the public should be thankful

The Man More Than the Uniform

of Box Butte county. Peabody was
serving a sentence of five years for

term Of four years for burglary, and

ten years for murder in Douglas
