The average person likes TO

of an accomplishments gift OF

specialist.
In swimming her way back to

The method was as simple as

She learned TO float on her

Seven weeks after our arrival
Dorothy was entered in an anna

promising was her showing even
then, not only of increased
health, but in the possibility of
becoming an expert in aquatics,
that her father and | determined
to employ a swimming instructor

After that her development in

While l believe this course
