The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-07-01

actress playing hero appeared on the sand
fixed for bathing, and fixed within about
an inch OF her life. Her bathing dress
was q CONNECTION Of salmon hued siIk. with
sandals and stockings and cap TO match.
She wac not only oorseted, but laced. and
her hair looked az II the hairdresser had
only done 1t up q few moments before. Not
only that, but her eyebrows wore cleverly
pencilled and there seemed to DO a bit Of
rouge on her oheeks, which are naturally
somewhat pallid.
This singing actress Ia O IONA possessed
OF q beautiful figure, and, a. abe was gotten
up, there didn't seem to be o ohancs In the
world that she would 60 into the water and
get herself unused up. She walked Town
to the beach with o long pongee silk robe
around her, and bar black maid trailing
behind. When she got to within about
q hundred PAGES Of the water abe beckoned
to her maid, and then she tossed Off her
pongee wrap and stood revealed In all her
fancy bathing lxings.
eGreat work, communicative New Yorker
TO his Philadelphia companion. Sun bath
for her, strolling up and down and stalking
ali hands to a treat. Not o chance In thu
world that she'll even get her ~tootsies
damp
The New Yorker recognized the actress,
and he figured that he had a cinch In max
ing his ofYhand statement.
'0h, I Dunno said the ~Philadelphian,
In a slow kind Of way. 'She may 20 In,
at that
'Bet you 500 to $40 she doesn't get her
sandals wet even,' said the New Yorker.
you're on" said the Philadelphia, and
he had hardly finished speaking before the
actress took up Q graceful trot from the
little sand knoll upon which she had been
standing and ran smack into the water.
She not only ran into 1t but she Owed into
It,, newly fixed couture and all, and she
swan out beyond the breaker line and en-
joyed herself with dolphin like grace for
twenty minutes before returning to the
sand. The chagrined New Yorker paid
up with the remark that 1t was like losing
q 1 to 100 shot at the racetrack.
There's a roller rink out at the end OF one
Of the piers, and the bettors who 60 out
there to look the skaters over bet with each
other as to how many falls the noyices at
roller skating will ave within a given space
Of time. One Of the cinch bettors squeaked
most mournfully a few %forenoons ago when
he dropped a wager on a thing that looked
like stealing for him. fancy roller skater,
a champion In his class, was giving an ex-
hibition Of all kinds Of extraordinary skating
stunts.
"A wonder, isn't he2" said the cinoh
bettor to the mar with him. aQueer how
he can skate on one toe that way, isn't it7
I suppose he never fell down while roller
skating in his ife."
'Oh, I guess he's had his bumps" said
the other man. Hes liable to fall down
right while we're looking at him doing
those gay tricks"
SIS he?" said the cinch man. LAY you
$25 to 81 he WON'T
'stingy price. but I'll 60 you for about
81 worth Of that, just to give the house q
Tone" said the other man.
you're on-$5O to % that he doesn't
fall down. said the lead pipe man, regard
ing the bet as common theft on his part.
Two minutes later the fancy skater came
down with a thud while ~essaying a difficult
one heel trick, and the cinch man paid up
and made a noise like an expiring swan for
some hours afterward.
