Whereat all laugh and I too, yet do I not comprehend the jest. Sir R. Harpenden tells us he hears that at the Lido mixed bathing is banned and bathing dresses which do reach the knee must be worn, This I confess I find hard to credit, though even at Repulse Bay I see certain justaucorps which are at least in- modest, and had my sister worn one a year or so ago, my mother would have soundly basted her for it.
