BATHING FACILITIES.
To the Editor. Sir,—l agree with the article in Thursday’s “ Star,” dealing with the need for more dressing accommodation at the beaches, particularly at New Brighton. This is very much the case in respect to ladies, who have no means of dressing at the beach unless they go to the Pier, w’here they are charged sixpence to enter a big, open, one-room enclosure where there are no pegs to hang clothes on except rusty nails. They have to go out to the beach and come in by the same entrance as men. This is most distasteful to modest women. Why does not the New Brighton Borougn Council provide individual dressing rooms along the beach and keep them clean? It is all v.sry well for the men, who are catered for at the Surf Club pavilion, but what about women? It is enough to make people dress in their own cars and, for mv own part, I do not blame people who dress in the lupins. It is only the evil minds of people (or peepers) who take exception to using the lupins for dressing.—l am, etc., A MERE WOMAN.
