CANADIAN COSTUME
A , QUAINTLY-WORDED CLAUSE. A strangely-worded proposal was laid before tho City Council last evening by its By-Laws Committee, which recommended tho addition of the following clause to one of tho city by-laws :— "No person over the ago of ten years shall bo or , remain on any beach, foreshore open to the public except for the purpose of entering the water or leaving the water'to reach, any bathingshed unless such person shall be clad in the swimming costume known as the Canadian costume." Councillor Buddie raised an instant protest, pointing out that the clause as it , stood! would prevent the Mayor or himself (or anyone else, for that mat-, tor) from taking a stroll on one of the beaches unless they donned Canadian costume. "I can't imagine- either Your Worship or myself in a Canadian costume," 'said Councillor Buddie, "and I move that clause be referred back to the committee." . Councillor Trogear seconded tho motion, declaring that the clause- was "absurd and abominable," and it was referred back accordingly."
