Husky Californian Forgets Street
Address and Remains in Bath Toqs.

Atlantic City, N. J.-Miss Louise
Rosine, the husky California author
ess, who walloped a beach copper
when he took her to task for disport-
ing bare knees, was still determined
to test her rights in the courts, de-
spite "a hours in the stuffy atmosphere
of the city lookup.
The young woman, still attired III
her bathing suit, still refuses to cover
her knees although the turnkey sug-
gested that 1t would be well. He OBJ
tanned a blanket for her, and for a
time she covered her form with it,
but finally cast it aside, with the re-
mark that it was too warm.
The jailer says Miss Rosine would
probably be willing enough to cover
her knees and change her attire gen
orally. but she has forgotten her adj
dress, and it has been impossible to
obtain her street clothes. She has
been staying at a private house on
Connecticut avenue. but doesn't know
the number and the police department
doesn't feel like making canvass Of
the street.
Miss Rosine has been charged by
officer Shaw, who made the arrest,
with assault and battery, and she will
be given a hearing on this charge and
also on the charge of disorderly con-
duct Wednesday by Magistrate Pax
ten.
