ETTERs every day complain about
the way others behave on all
IL sorts of holiday occasions -
especially on a day at the beach.
And so let me describe some of the
things of which they complain most.
Before saying anything about the
too much undress which is principal
item of criticism. turn my mind back
to the almost incredible ugliness of
the blue-fannel period. Family photo
graph albums show snapshots of
reputedly beautiful women muffled
into shapeless bundles from throat to
far below the knee, where bunchy
bloomers were supplemented by
Opaque black stockings. held up by
the stout garters fastened to strongly
boned, tightly-laced corset.
As late as five years ago. l took
sides in this column in favor of ab-
breviated swimming suits and no

Today the picture is not unmarried.
In contrast to the adorable little chill
dren, the beautiful brown-skinned
boys and the lovely girls. there are the

Even for the youngest women,
modern bathing suits are often too
skimpy. Trunks cut where a carver

der straps to keep them from being
pushed down.
As to children's behavior, it is
reasonable that they shall be allowed
to shout and laugh to their hearts
content. If they can't be free on
beach. there's no place where they
can! But even so, they should not be
allowed to annoy their neighbors un-
necessarily. Obviously, child should
not be allowed to walk over people,
nor to go back and forth, filling his
pail with water. and falling down. and
kicking sand in the faces of those who
are lying on the beach. Then, too,
while Baby Snooks" is delightful as
portrayed by Fannie Brice, she is not
always delightful in person.
If your own child. for example, is
over-friendly, and inclined to join
strangers, you should call or lead him
away. 1t is possible, of course, that his
new friends may encourage not only
his friendliness. but yours by talking
to you about him. If you share their
impulse, then you can ignore the rule
for proper behavior The general rule
is to consider that strangers in public
places are surrounded by invisible
but utnone-the-less-actual property lines.
We have no more right to intrude un-
invited upon their attention than we
would have to walk uninvited into
their homes.
Another annoyance on a beach is

and figure. But it was another girl in
a bathing suit with complete bodice
and pleated shorts. to whom both my
young friends wanted to be intro

better than those of that girl over
there?" asked. One answered that
she looked feminine The other said
that figure which left nothing to the
imagination had no allure.
In the matter of man-and- girl be-
havior, the real point is to avoid
everything that is offensive to taste.

in bathing suits, to lie with heads in
each others laps is not the way people
of fastidious taste behave
On private beaches. conscious con-
sideration for others is not as exactng
as it is on the crowded public beaches.
But everywhere it is best. whenever
possible, that families with little chill
dren sit very near the edge of the
water, because there is a great deal of
running back and forth. and little
children need to be watched.
An instance in which l took part is
unforgettable. A little girl, padding
about above her depth in one of those
dough-nut shaped swimming rings,
suddenly capsized and went head
down under the water. happened to
be very near and quickly rescued her.
But even so. she swallowed an enor-
nous amount of salt water and had,
for the moment. gone under out of

Col McCook, the officer in charge, informed me that the summons was from Mrs Hayes, who entered very soon and said in her kindly fashion: MT.

It was reported to him that neither you nor your band accepted his invitation to have some refreshments last night. There must be some mistake; possibly 1t is on our part. Won't you talk it over with Col. Me- Cook, "who, I am sure, will set everything right?' Consequently, I told the Colonel just what had happened and the disappearance of the food before my men could get there.
 Mrs. Hayes was very particu. lar about ordering luncheon for your men, he said, and, here after. we will see that they, and they only, get it.
