Bathing clothes, including swimming suits, bath wraps, caps, beach shoes, and other such impedimenta, should have the same sort of care.
A good swimming suit is a friend indeed and no one can have too many. Even if you like to buy the latest each summer, you still need your.others for changing, sun-bathing, and playtime. Even though you have faithfully rinsed your suits after each swim, they will probably retain a good deal of salt and sand, so wash them carefully in a good lather of fine soap flakes. Dried thoroughly, sprayed with moth preventive (for moths love a good woollen swimming suit), and wrapped in an outer covering of newspapers they should be safe. Bathing caps, well-scrubbed and looking obligingly like new, should be stuffed with tissue paper to prevent the rubber sticking to itself and should be put away safely. The same applies to any rubber beach shoes, while all canvas shoes do well with a good scrub and a final clean. Remember that however clean your beach wear may look it must be washed in fresh water or it will act as a weather prophet all the winter, for the salt absorbed will suck up moist air and the poor things will be bound to tot under their own power.
