Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt and New.
port hostesses in general are in a
quiet way trying to prevent the in
vasion of what is known as the "pa-
jana habit" on Bailey's Beach, and
the same is true Of the bathing spaces
in the warm sand at the various re.
sorts on Long Island. The climate
OF the North Shore of Massachusetts
and of the Maine resorts precludes
any lengthy hours of sand lolling
where the pajama habit could flourish.
The beautiful Lido across from
Venice is now known as pajama land,
Tor a bathing suit, and especially a
wet one, is rare sight, and the
pelles and the beaux find exhiliration
clad in silken pajamas and half buried
IN the hot bank. With gay umbrella
over them, they pass the long hours
laughing. chatting, playing cards and
partaking of luncheon from picnic
baskets. But this does not appeal to
the gentry of American resorts, how.
ever picturesque a sight 1t may make
along the Adriatic, and already there
are prohibitions in readiness to be
enforced If any of those who wish to
follow exotic habits appear in paja-
mas. A movement Is perceptible to
have swimming contests and beach
racing to occupy the young people
and to inspire the love of healthful
exercise for which soiourns at the
salt water were intended. The Jersey
resorts made a rule against beach loll-
ing some years ago, and it Is likely
that pajamas would be tabooed on
sight.
