Camouaage Sylphs
On Coney Beach an
Optical Illusion
Stripes of Bathing Cos

sons to Conceal Full Elk.
tent of Their Plumpness

The camouhage bathing suit made its
appearance yesterday at Coney Island,
with the result that there were all
sorts Of complications among the 250,-
GOO visitors to the resort. 1t became
at once apparent that the idea, lately
imported from Bath, Brighton and
other English watering places, has
manifold possibilities.
One very stout woman on the beach,
for instance, had used such artistry in
the arrangement of the lightning
stripes on her costume that she pre-
sented positively sylphlike figure to
the eyes of those some twenty yards or
so distant. Many persons who had
seen through the deception were
amused by the antics of certain sportive
young men, who from time to time
started in the direction of the camou-
tagged damsel and then, when they OBJ
tanned closeup view, kept right on
going.
Many of the camouhage costume
were obviously home made, and it was
evident that their wearers had not had
an opportunity to perfect themselves
in more than the mere elementary prin-
ciples of the art In other words, they
accentuated angles instead of rounding
them, and emphasized rather than con-
cealed avoirdupoise.
1t is expected, however, that the new
fad will be highly developed before the
season is over.
Following the service yesterday of
fourteen summonses upon persons who
appeared in the streets in uncovered
bathing suits the suggestion was made
that camouf1age might be perfected to
the point where it would hide offenders

Chased from other points of vantage
by the guards, Workmen and specta-

five feet in width and extending

workmen to pass around the stern,
without having to return to shore

to another on the boat.
