The KING OF THE DUDES
Is GIVING CATALINA ISLAND A
CHANCE
Mislaid His Natatorial Wardrobe but
Looked All Right in One Of the
Company's Suits

| Compauys Su1tS
AVALON, Catalina Island, August o.
j. Waldere Kirk, the king Of the dudes.
has developed new role. 1t is that OF
fisherman. He was out with one OF the
boatmem yesterday and brought six yell
lowNail to gaff. The fish were all taken
on rod and reel, and Kirk was apparently
much pleased with the sport, for he was
gone out again this morning in the hope
of beating his record. In the interim j..
Waldere is giving valuable pointers to
Catalina dudedom on the costumes OF the
hour. His bathing regalia has been the
only disappointment SO far He must have
mislaid the trunk containing his natatorial
wardrobe, for on Sunday morning. when all
Avalon was anxiously looking for new
sensation, Mr.. Kirk made his debut at the
bath house in just common or garden
lsuit, for the use OF which he had paid the
Banning company rs cents. The girls were
disappointed, but studied with intense de-
light the poetic poses that Mr.. Kirk was
able to instill into even such ordinary ma
lerial. Astrde the spring board, with a
Icigarette between' his lips, j. Waldere was
really pretty decent looking chap, ali
though he has neglected to nourish his
back hair. and bald spot about the size
of two dollars and a half rivals the camera
obscura. Mr.. Kirk made very fair dive.
and altogether has proved distinct sue
cess, but It is understood the company
has decided not to make him an offer as a
new attraction for next season.
e. L. Beasley and wife went out for goats
yesterday. After stopping at Camp Eagle's
Nest for dinner they succeeded in killing
two goats and capturing two kids. The
chase Of the kids was distinctly interesting.
and Mr. Beasely took a number OF falls in
the chase. One of the youngsters was a
long winded little brother. and the sports
man, becoming too engrossed, made d mis-
step and rolled half way down the motin-
tain before he could regain his feet.
