SURF BATHING
COSTUMES FOR MEN. SHORTS ALONE SUFFICIENT. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, December 6. A pair of woollen bathing shorts alone is a decent bathing costume for men, in the opinion of the New Zealand Surf and Life Saving Association. At the annual meeting of the association to-night, some doubt was expressed whether local bodies were “sufficiently modem” to approve of the association’s ruling. It was stated that in Sydney and other Australian resorts, surf associations had been approached and had adopted the same view. Many modem costumes were merely shorts adorned with shoulder straps as a sop to Mother Grundy, and simple woollen shorts were considered a becoming and adequate garb for men.
