"A low, pale oblong detached itself suddenly from the darkness of the Island, spitting forth the reverberate sound of a racing motor-boat. Two white streamers of cleft water rolled themselves out behind it and almost immediately the boat was beside him, drowning out the hot tinkle of the piano in the drone of its spray. Dexter raising himself on his arms was aware of a figure standing at the wheel, of two dark eyes regarding him over the lengthening space of water--then the boat had gone by and was sweeping in an immense and purposeless circle of spray round and round in the middle of the lake. With equal eccentricity one of the circles flattened out and headed back toward the raft."
Shows that even if Judy is not a flapper, she dresses, acting like one. Women in that era can't be dressing like that. However the flappers dress very differently to show their rebellion characteristics to the social norms. The women at this time should not show any part of their body other than their face and hand. The flappers however show out all their arms, and even parts of their legs.
Judy in this case is riding a motor boat, which is strictly forbidden to ride by the women of her time.
