TO LEARN TO SWIM.
ANY GIRL, WITH A LITTLE COURAGE,
MAY MASTER THE ART WITH
OUT HELP.

1T seems marvellous TO that more women do
not learn TO SWIM" said girl at Narragansett Pier
the other day she shook her hair over her
shoulders to dry in the 1T seems such
waste Of time the days at the seashore
by acquiring the science of swimming.
Hard to learn? Not bit cf it, The first thing
is to learn TO float. People generally do not begin
with that, but think that will have less fear
IL she knows that she can float if by any chance
she should get beyond her depth. 1t is harder for
slender people like myself. but stout girls ought to
float without difficulty All you have TO do is TO
lie On your back, keep the mouth and nose above
water and keep the lungs well inflated.
1T is almost always possible at the seashore to
find some who swims, and swimmers are al
ways delighted to teach others. Sometimes how
ever, there is one, and then should not heSi-
tate to try 1t alone of course, taking proper
cautions. On the whole, L am tempted to advise
girls who exceedingly sensitive TO try to teach
themselves. I have known number give up the
effort because they thought they looked awkward
and ridiculous while learning. 1t is good idea to
practise the motions in ones room until they are
thoroughly acquired. This will be found to relieve
the first attempts of preliminary awkward
Stretch the arms straight full length, with
the fingers close together and the palms meeting.
Open the palms, turning downward, and move the
arms backward on the same level until they are in
a straight line with the shoulders keeping the ell
bows firm all the time. When directly in line with
the shoulders stop the stroke let the elbows drop
until the palms come together again Repeat this
stroke until it becomes almost automatic.
THE leg strokes cannot be learned on shore but
1t is easier to manage unfamiliar movement
than two. Before attempting them try to utilize
the arm practice in the water. Wade far as
possible without losing the footing then face the
shore and make the movements in the water
and try to support the body by the stroke.
Some advise wearing life preserver while learn
ing but l do not regard it as a good plan. An ex-
cellent use for it. however, is TO attach 1t by
rope to some firm object on the pier or shore and
hold on to it while acquiring the leg stroke This
gives confidence and assures safety. The stroke is
made by drawing the legs together slowly up close
TO the body. A sudden. strong kick backward. and
as nearly level as possible, is the next movement;
the legs separating and the soes of the feet held
fiat against the water. When the kick has straight
ened the legs they must be drawn together instant
ly to repeat the stroke.
When the leg and arm strokes are both acquired
the best IS to put rope loop around the waist,
having the other end safely attached the shore.
and going about four feet of water, try the
two together. The stroke begins before the
leg stroke, which should not be begun until the
arms have made about half the semi-circe described
by them

GOOD CHEER.
THE TWO SIDES OF 1T.

There was a girl who always said
Her fate was very hard;
From the one thing she wanted most
She always was debarred.
There always was a cloudy spot
Somewhere within her sky.
Nothing was ever quite just right,
She used to say, and sigh.
And yet her sister. strange TO say,
Whose lot was quite the same.
Found something pleasant for herself
In every day that came.
OF course, things tangled up sometimes
For just a little while;
But nothing ever stayed all wrong
She used TO say, and smile.
So one girl sighed and one girl smiled
Through all their lives together;
1t didn't come from luck or fate
From clear or cloudy weather
The reason lay within their hearts
And colored all outside;
one chose to hope and one to NOPE
And so they smiled and sighed.
