outings have become feature of farm

for camping. Necessarily the farm

The people from town would enjoy
such a resort, too, and they would be
! more than willing to- bear their share
of the expense. What a fine place it
would be for the people of town and
country to meet on the Fourth of
July, for instance or at the town and
country picnics that are just now
coming into vogue. 1t is true that
most cities and many villages, now
have parks but as a rule they are too
small for gatherings such as those

is spot with ample space for large

New York Herald).

(NeW Ork Herald).
The United States government has
taken a hand in the effort to discoIr-
age women from parading the streets
of Rockaway Beach in their bathing
suits. Postmaster William A. McVey
has posted printed placards that wo-
men in bathing suits would not be ad-
mitted to the postoffce.
Until this season the residents have
gone between the beach and their
homes in bathing suits that were COW
cred with long rain coats But the
costumes are so exceptionally attrac-
tive this year that the women aban-
don the outer covering and wear them
morning, noon and night, whether
they are going for a swim or not.
In fact, the postmaster says many
of the bathing suits, with skirts that
look like nohing more than ruffle,
never have been wet. There has
ben a daily and nightly exhibit of
shapely legs in stockings of the
brightest hues, and in many instances
without stockings and on the board.

Mr.. Mcvey objects to the postoffice
being used for the purposes of such

reading:
AS 1t is a misdemeanor to appear
in public in scant attire, no one in a
bathing suit will be permitted in the

Many women in bathing suits OF the
