Today's Swimming Suits Had Modest Beginning
By MARY BESS STEPHENS
The 1900's brought many things into America, including that camouflage called the bathing suit. But just as Ford's first car wasn't his sleekest model, neither was the first of the bathing suits.
However, the early century belle was fascinated by the first bathing suits. At last she could go swimming without wearing an old dress, and for the first time, the men could give up the spy glass and come along.
But the feminine style wouldn't stand still, and by the time the Charleston started beating, and the bath tubs became a little alcoholic, the bathing suit had become short and fairly passable.
But as the men became passive, the girls became more active, and the bathing suit went up, oh so slowly. The sleeves finally evolved into a broad shoulder strap.
But the men found that they would rather have had the spy glass. These bathing suits, they discovered were as cumbersome as dusters, and just as unrevealing. They had long pantoon-type trousers, almost weighing a girl down, with long sleeves, and very respectable neck lines.
Of course, the suits were usually made out of wool, and didn't do wonders for the average figure, but the flapper could vamp in it with the greatest of ease.
The movies contributed a big boost to the bathing suit with the development of cheesecake.
From the twenties until now, the bathing suit has been through finishing school. Today, they are at their delicate, and very brief best.

Open Letter:
Thanx from Society Staff
It has been a full year for the University Daily Kansan society page—we think a record was set this spring for pinnings and engagements, at least it seemed so when the staff began to type up the material.
We want to thank every house on the Hill as well as the professional and honorary organizations and clubs for their cooperation in turning in the society material on time. It made it much easier for us to keep track of all the activities this spring—and believe us, there were quite a few!
The society page will be continued during the summer school session, twice a week, under the new society editor, Nancy Neville, so if you are here, please continue to turn your news of parties, picnics, pinnings and engagements, and anything else in the way of society, to her. She will print it as fast as space will permit.
There are several pictures here at the Kansan newsroom. If your picture is here, please drop in sometime before the end of school and pick it up.
Thank you again for your cooperation. Have a good summer!
Citizens of Texas are called Tex-ans, although their carrier name was Texian and that is still found occasionally in historical articles.

MUST VIRTUE BE ITS OWN REWARD?
Once there was a Junior who devoted most of his time and energies to Social Purseuits, with correspondingly little emphasis on the Curriculum in the Middle School. Right Up There socially, academically he was close to the Point of No Return.
Topping it off was an Irate Ultimatum from the Male Parent, warning that his next acquisition had better be either a List of Passing Grades or a Social Worker. If the girl sees you as a lifetime at Hard Labor, unless Something Drastic happened.
So he made it happen. Invested heavily in benzene and black coffee and lined up three super-skull Tutors. Night and day he Sweated It Out—and wound up with Remarkably Respectable Grades. First thing he did, naturally, was to consult his Trusty Telegrammar. (What you haven't got
The Reaction came an hour later, A Telegraph Money Order for $500, plus a message that read: "Delighted at your confounding the Prophets, including our two-month European trip, expenses paid, starting June 20th." Simped POP.
