Goes Paris One Better For Surf Suit Laws New York.—While Paris is dusting iff her brow, preparatory to having t trimmed up. with a halo because of her sudden attitude toward attire of bathers at nearby resorts, this -■ity is performing with an eye cast oward wings and a harp, apparently. Paris' says her daughters, when hey disport in the curdling foam nust do so guardedly in a covering nade up of two pieces. Nor shall hey be permitted to remove the cov- :ring while so disporting, to continue iheir frolics a la Venus in the wave. But New York specifies that not only shall the two-piece suit be in vidence when her mermaids revel, but also the nether portion of it shall >e a skirt, not a trouser, and it shall op a pair of dark—not white— tockings. Likewise it is not to appear— femininely filed, of course—upon ooardwalk or beach. A long bathrobe s to enfold it with such thorough go ing care that whether it exists at all >r not will be problematical. So the -■olony of Americans, who have an nounced their intention of moving westward from Trouville, Deauville, Etretat and Paris Plage to the en- /irons of Manhattan where, so they fondly state—they might bathe in peace and more or less unclother :omfort, may as well stay where they are. The truth is that our city fathers are giving the prohibitionists an ex- • ra turn each year, tightening them a bit each June when the season opens. Last year for the first time in the history of Coney Island, bathers were forbidden to walk about that lively .-esort in their bathing suits, without ?oats, robes or other adequate outer covering. So enthusiastic did the police be come that the life saver Adonis was banished. His one-piece suit was legislated out of existence and a sub- jtitute, consisting of two pieces with roomily flapping lower portion, was installed. Here are the rules which must be observed this year by mer maids at the springhly Coney and allied beaches: No bather may promenade in his or her suit. Dark stockings must be worn. Socks are prohibited. Skirts must drop below the knees. . .Knitted jersaya with no sleeves and low neck back and front prohibited. Tights with a short skirt over them prohibited. Ball playing on beach in suits pro hibited. “Pyramiding” and other sky-lark ing in water or out prohibited. Spooning after sundown prohibited. There! And these are only some of the rules; there are others which broken ever slightly, straight way brings forth a blushing policeman and some unblushing advice. Down Long Beach way all along the Jersey coast to Atlantic City the police maintain the edict issued a season or two ago, against the one- piece bathing suit, sleeveless jackets with large arm-holes, ballet dancers’ skirts and the stockingless knee, no matter how dimpled. Most any Sunday or Friday or Tuesday, or any other afternoon or evening, the appearance of the first bather brings a group of police to the sand with their measuring sticks and smoked skirts and the binoculars are to shield the naked eye from naked legs. Many young women are warned to return to their bath houses and put on more clothes. Summons to court are threatened those who appear to Man, 70, Adopts Woman His Heir New York.—Thomas F. Rockford, 70, legally adopted Miss Emma Lydia Bush, 45. The order for the adoption was signed by County Judge Haskell in Brooklyn. Rockford and Miss Bush live at 562 Second street, Brook lyn. In his petition Rockford styled himself a retired/business man, whose business AUflU^ush had man aged for the lasttflrven years, in ad dition to nursii^nim through a ser ious illness. He said his wife left; him seven years ago, and that since he had no children he desired to adopt Miss Bush in order to make her his legal heir. The court order declares that here after Miss Bush is to be regarded as Rockford’s child, with all the rights and privileges conferred by law. Lucky Women Secretaries Bright careers appear to be open to girls who become secretaries to rich people in England and devote them selves to their clerical duties. When Sir Thomas Sutherland died he left his secretary, Miss McKay of Edin burgh, $44,000. Maurice Bondman, the famous impresario, left his secre tary. Miss Annie Lewinstein, $40,000, and it now transpires that Mrs. Ada Waltz, a widow, of Kensington, Lon don, England, has left to her “friend and secretary,” Martha Ellen Vernon, the bulk of her property, valued at about $200,000. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORS ACTIVE SUNDAY Sunday afternoon the Christian En deavor Society conducted a very in teresting program at the county jail. Although the heat was intense and suffocating, many of the members left the shade about their homes and trudged up to the jail so that the prisoners might have the benefit of their leadership in prayers and songs. Dr. E. C. Wade made the address on the subject x>f “Happiness.” It was a very inspiring talk. Mrs. J. D. Smyser and Mr. Thomas Barringer furnished violin music. Mrs. Smyser also rendered a pretty violin solo. At 7:15 o’clock the society held its regular Sunday meeting with Miss Anderson presiding. Several short talks were made by the members. Misses Edith Bowie, Mary Jaeger, Lllewellyn Rives, and Messrs. Thos. Barringer, Herbert Moody and Will iam Saleeby were appointed “lookout committee.” The object of the com mittee is to be on the lookout for new members. An endeavor will be made to increase the society’s mem bership to 100 during the current year. Friday afternoon at six o’clock the members will gather in front of the Presbyterian church, from which they will proceed to Black Creek for a swimming frolic. be too frank in displaying their charms. A captain in charge of the Coney Island police force explained his po sition: “I have assigned several de tectives to patrol the beaches and whenever they see a woman in what they consider an immodest suit they will serve a summons on her to ap pear in court, or they may arrest her if she refuses to leave the beach. “Coney Island will be kept clean and married women need not fear to permit their husbands to come here.
