with enormous care;a single dive could ruin

hours of work before the dressing table and

many dollars' worth of facials. Still another
reason is that in Miami Beach the bathing suit
- is worn to cocktail parties, lunches, dances,
teas and on the street,and has been sublimated
accordingly.It may be some little thing of pure
silk costing only$45,but it may also be a ere-
ation of gold-trimmed velvet or sequins and
ermine at$145.In any case it must not get wet.
....w i Nonetheless the presence of so many pools,

suing the common goal of pleasure,is a major
�- / \ factor in giving Miami Beach its atmosphere;
unique in the U.S.,of uninhibited paganism.

They are some of the world's most ~-

The Miami visitor with a hundred or so dollars in his pocket must be :� ''''�Y�
content with life in a boarding house.The affluent vacationer stays at a
fancy Miami Beach hotel.The very rich owns his own opulent beach resi-
dence. Such winter homes run heavily to picture windows overlooking -
the sea, playrooms, patios, terraces, small but well-stocked bars, fire- .__ -
places,guest cabanas and staffs of servants. Built primarily for lazy re- _ -mow-.
laxation and the entertainment of the owner and his friends,these houses %- --
are in fact pleasure domes of a luxuriance that would make Kubla Khan - ;
aashamed of Xanadu. ". —_.. V
The home of the Harry Daumits (right),costing more than$215,000, r: ,—".%
is a notable example.Besides a 50-foot pool it has such features as a two- —"
unit cabana for guests,an 18-foot living-room couch and a special court. ,, ;;-
��
ter in the kitchen for midnight snacks.Here,assisted by servants,the Dau- ,,. :•:
-,;,,
mils entertain in the Miami Beach manner—frequent,small,gay cocktail •'"rI` "- ...e..••
fes .
parties or dinners.From here they make occasional excursions,to Lin- a . -rub'".arta- 4_
Coln Road shops for clothes(no Miami Beach resident ever has enough), "p'"t„�gep,
to friends' homes,to the golf tours.,or to Bimini for deep-sea fishing. >' " 8. /*

THE DAUMIT HOUSE,like so many Miami Beach residences,is of concrete- «t 4r.414-14)r /
block stucco.By day it is bright with tropical plantings,by night it is ablaze with r iter "`, - �F, ,
light;floodlights turn on automatically when a car drives into the grounds,the r "` A
pool is lit from beneath and the beach can be illuminated for swimming parties.
