 Most of the people I've ever seen in swimming l may say, en passant, are those at Coney Island, down at Coden, or out at East Lake. and it has always been toss-up in my mind as to whether or not they'd emanate from the water minus mouthful of old shoes, hairpins, garters, watermelon rinds, beer bottlea, or something approximately invigorat- ing. In addition to this ingratating an- ticipation, there has also been the con stant aesthetic disturbance in my inn mediate vicinity when in bathing of a adipose ungainly looking females. cotton stocking-ed, and knock-kneed, and proud, portly, strutting, red male creatures, whose necks revealed a lingering yellow collar line, and whose Adams apples were tinted with ungainly marks re- minders of such commonplace, hideous things as were collar buttons,

 My delight when the ensemble of "Neptune's Daughter revealed mer- maids of shapely females and able-bod males, swimming about in flocks, diving, laying. floating, in pale green water, ex- quisitely beautiful, transcendently allur-

 Of course though mermaids with court trains don't need hair pins, and "mer- men" don't wear collar buttons, and so they appear to the naked eye-unbem- ished.

 All well and good enough for Annette,
 but you do feel sort Of sorry for the other little mermaids who, during long stretches of exhibition work by Miss lSellermann soak and soak and soak in the briny deep-particularly the little baby mermaid sister who looks sacred to death of the water, and the detestable Olga. whose legs has been turned Into tail by a wtch and who wrigsles about on Ber- mudas beach, and, her own little 'tummy," until you think shed need d doetor

 In reality it's about a king who mar ried q fish, but you wouldn't mind if the fish happened to be the beauteous Miss Kellermann.
 A cunning little freckled faced. snag- gled toothed. bare-footed boy, who sat next to me at the show sized up the situ- , ation in a nut shell, when he exclaimed as Miss Kellermann appeared:
 Gee! That's lady fish, ain't it?' "Neptunes Daughter is an enticing fairy legend. tailored to show the accom- plishments and the figure of Miss Keller mann-who looks better-untailored.

 Making Living
 Sometime ago Cornerite said that she wondered if anyone had canned mushrooms Tell her l have, and will show her some If she would like to see them. They are pronounced fine by those who have eaten them. I am the person whom you helped with the canary when I write and told you l had started my dear old man in business by boarding a few birds. He Is still in business, and, both together, we make out to get our living. But I'm doing funny things all the time to make an honest dollar.

 No matter how funny any kind of hon. est labor may seem to spectators and in the telling, keep at 1t so long as 1t helps support your family. I gather from your reference to canned mushrooms that you are following counsel often repeated in the Corner and turning your knowledge of practical cookery to good account. You could hardly do a wiser thing. An artist In the culinary line is as truly an artist as painter, sculptor and>nusician.
