In Her Bathing-Suit
“Nothing in this world is prettier
than a woman in a becoming bathing
dress as she plunges in the surf, and
perverted must be that man or woman
who sees aught but beauty therein,”
W. Bok in the May
Ladies* Home Journal. “But with
the bath over, the picture presented to
of am entirely different character.
Then fora woman t<>| parade herself
OU the beach in her dripping-wet
garment*, or to spend hours lying on
the beach io unseemly attitudes, cer»
tainly dees uot raise her in the esti
mation of people, nor impress men
that she is a woman meant to uplift
mankind. A woman's bathing-dress
was never intended to be used as .a
lounging robe on a public beacb. It
to a singular fact how needlessly wo
men unsex themselves in these things.
Then when men, in speech or action,
show a familiarity with them they arc
quick to resent it. But a woman
should not forget that ■ man never
offend* a woman who behave* herself
a* a woman should. A woman who
merit* respect never has to command
it; nor does the necessity come to her
to resent careless speech or action.
Men know the women with whom
they can be careless of speech ; they
know, 100, the women with whom
such freedom of speech to impossible.
An insult to a woman is generally
invited.”
