If there is such q thing any more as
an unsightly bathing suit, there is no
excuse for it. Women go down to the
sea in clothes that might have been
designed for the Russian ballet or to
be worn at a court reception given by
old Neptune himself, they are so grace
full and colorful. Whether they are
destined to ever get wet or not-that
is the question. But if the new suits
are only to be looked at they have a
good excuse for being. They are of
silk or jersey and much helped out
with rubber cloth, and there are many
new features to report about them.

things Rodney had said, trying to be
