Made it out of a Postage Stamp.

In the 1950s, newspapers were titillated by the scantier bathing suits that could be found on women in North America.
Or rather, in the 1930s, newspapers were titillated by the bathing suits that could be found on women in North America.
No, wait, we'll get to all of that eventually. At this point we're still fascinated by what's happening to bathing suits in 1900. Or at least the Toronto Star was; it ran a series of cartoons poking fun at the subject in 1900. The Star seems less critical and more bemused by the changes that were clearly occurring in how women could be seen at the beach. It's worth keeping in mind that while women could suit up and enjoy visiting resorts out of town, many of the swimming spaces in Toronto in 1900 were either male only by design or by practice. But that was changing rapidly.
