For want of a better place the peo-
pie of our town who feel that they
must learn to swim, go out TO Gage
lake to do their experimental founder
ing and work up their courage, so that
they will be prepared in case they
should be lucky enough ever to go to
the sea or the lake shore. A SurpriS
ingly large crowd went out one even
ing last week, and those who sat in the
grandstand along the bank, expecting
to see only troop of small boys strug-
Cling with what they considered the
unnecessary decoration of bathing
suit, found more entertainment than
they looked for. Tho young women
who decided to go into the pool dis
appeared into the bath houses, and
sent floating out on the evening air,
spirited discussion as to whether it
would be wise to remove their turbans
and rats or to preserve their beauty
at the sost of taking the ''kink' out of
the figercurls, and rusting the wire
in the turbans. At last each settled
the dispute for herself according to her
best Judgment, and most of them
emerged hairless, shoeless, hatless, and
nearly everything elseless. They they
stepped gingerly into the water. did
the regulation amount of screaming
and waded as far out as they could
without getting into water above their
chins. They gave the best imitation
they could of beach sirens and strug
gled to become full-fedged mermaids.
and at last came forth from The great
deep in garments that had attained
that clinging effect SO fashionable just
now.
Meanwhile father decided to take
Clip with his frisky young son. He
brought his suit with him, and while
it had much to recommend it in the
way of amplitude, it's upper and lower
deck were prone to treat each other
distantly, but that trouble was finally
adjusted, and the puggy bather paced
the beach, doubtless thinking he look
ed like Neptune in his costume, when
in reality he looked like a comic val
entine. He made the trip across the
pond and back. and the snorting and
putting exacted in payment for the
feat, were not extortionate, considering
the size of gentleman's equator and the
rapidity with which he moved.
The lake, after all, is the place to
see the moving picture show.
