BATHING SUITS PUT UNDER BAN AT VENICE.
Several hundred bathers took part at Venice in the swan song of the bathing skirt, the chief asset of the summer girl. The Board of Trustees of Venice has set its collective foot down upon the bathing suit and it must go, at least, within range of view of pedestrians of the streets and as a promenade costume for-the. board walks.
The new ordinance provides a deadline, well down towards the water’s edge, beyond which everybody who weal’s one will have to cover up the costume with a bath robe. No one will, as heretofore, be permitted to go down to the beach in the abbreviated costumes by way of. the streets and there will be no more lolling in the sand in what has come tb be called “almost altogether.”
