MEDFORD, OREGON. SUNDAY. JUNE 9. 1963
les Femme fatales of the beach in 1883 wore swimming suilt that
left everything to the imagination. In fact most of these "down to
the sea" fashions could best be described as gussied-up coveralls.
If these sun-goddesses did dare to brave the water, their costumes
were equipped with rust-proof corsets.

the "old-fashioned" swim suits, the 1963

modesty. The back- buttoned popover,

"t had purpose in wearing the elaborate bathing outfits. Male bathers were equally well covered. The picture, below, was
