Lest you misbehave......


Original Caption:Girl Evangelist Blasts Beach Iniquities, Boston -- When Mary Agnes caught this pair spooning on Revere Beach, her wrath knew no bounds. Incidentally she would not appear on the beach in her one piece bathing suit until she had securely fastened her stockings above her knees. "Bare legs," she shuddered, "not before that crowd." (1922)
Unfortunately Mary Agnes(it figures) failed miserably. I grew up near Revere Beach, this sort of thing went on all the time and is still going strong...BOTH the spooning AND the bare knees!
