SUN BATH JUMPERS.
SUITS FOR THE MODEST. Bashful sun-bathers will welcome the latest invention of a German scientist. This man, H>rr Skanpy, claims to have invented a fabric through which these timid worshippers of the sun may absorb the health-giving ultra-violet rays of the sun and acquire a coat, of tan without displaying their forms to the gaze, of the multitude. Herr Skaupy would have this fabric, through which the ultra-violet rays are supposed to penetrate readily, cut into small rectangles and pieced together with ordinary cloth material to make jumpers and pyjamas. To ensure warmth in cold weather two of these suits could be worn without lessening the beneficial effect of the sunlight. . In spite of their lack of resistance to the ultra-violet rays these suits would be alsoiuteiy non-transparent. Should this fabric prove the claims of its inventor it should be highly popular in Germany, "-as the sun cult has' the country, in its grip. This is demonstrated by the many special sun roofs along bathing beaches and the sun-baking- areas on top of private houses in all the big cities.:
