Modesty in Swim Suits
MISS Annette Kellerman, whose onepiece bathing suit 20 years ago shocked conservative people, says that "the real abbreviated suits of to-day" will not last long. "More feminine and softer lines are replacing the abbreviated, skin-tight suits of last season," she said recently in Miami, Flo. "The extremely* brief, unadorned swimming costume is becoming only to tihose streamlined girls who comprise a small part of beach groups,'' she added. '' Women between 30 and 45 are becoming more modest in the United States as the days following the war reach a more sober stage, and these stoutish women certainly are not going to parade in literally skin-tight swim suits. For the collegiate girl and youngsters, as long as we live anyway, there will be" the one-piecers, though."
