As to Proper Behavior.

“Streets and sidewalks' are public property. Citizens have the right to walk on them, whether they wear skirts, pantaloons or bathing suits, as long as their behavior is proper. There is no ordinance specifying the amount of clothing a. person shall wear In the street,” Is the wisdom quoted from the lips of Judge Howard Hayes when passing upon the arrest of a young woman who promenaded in her bathing suit. We agree with the judge. The question Is one of behavior. But it is fair to ask whether promenading the streets without any clothing would be proper behavior. —Chicago Post/
