Second—What {s the dead line of respectability in the wearing of a bathing sult? Is it at the line of the bath-hoyses? Is it as far inland as the sound of the surf can be heard? Third—How many minutes before and how many minutes after a seo bath is {t respectable to be seen in a bathing sult? There is certainly a fitness to time and place in costume. A woman who wore the ordinary dinner gown or ball gown for ja walk down Fifth avenue in daylight, or even at night, would cer- |tainly and very properly be arrested if she refused to obey the order to withdraw from the public view. A woman or a man who appeared in the streets of New York jin the most offensively and indecently “modest” bathing dress ever | devised by the Asbury Park Puritans would be promptly and prop- erly haled to a police court. | But, while it is easy enough to see that there are solid grounds | for complaint in this matter of the improper use and improper make of bathing suits, how is a rational remedy to be applied ? nt places, different on different days at the same |place. And probably no two people could be found who would agree as to the exact line of propriety.

But he shows himself a diplomat as well aa a “dead game sport” when he goes on to compliment his American competitors, express- ing the fullest confidence that he will have fair play, and that if he s to lift the enp he shall at least increase the good will that exista between the sport-loving people of both countries.
