N. Y. 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.
