Running Through Snow and
Ice to the Bath House
After the Arctic Dip.

n recent banquet at Brighton
"A Beach rudy faced man
with glowing eyes and a
"haven't-a-care-in the world" smile,
arose and toasted "the newest and
finest of sports"
Here's to midwinter bathing" he
said, with glass aloft. "The icy
plunge that drives out the devils Of
nervousness and drives in the little
angels Of cheerfulness; that makes
women beautiful and keeps men
young; that straightens bent backs
and twisted tempers. The greatest
blessing we can wish to our friends
is that they may become midwinter
bathers."
Dr. Theodore Siqueland was the
speaker. At his right sat former
Police Deputy Dougherty, Of New
York.
"Mr Dougherty," the speaker con-
tinued, beaming on his confrere, as
individual in bathing, as in all other
matters. Not content with one dip
in the congealing food, he takes
two. He strides the beach as males
tically as Alexander strobe the shore
Of Asia Minor, and after warming up
sufficiently, he plunges into said
food and swims from a given point
in front Of the Parkway Baths to
the foot Of Ocean Parkway, a dis
lance of 300 yards. Landing, he re-
peats the majestic stride back to the
given point in front of the bath
house, swings his arms with dignity
that resembles that Of an eagle max.
ing ready his wings for flight, dashes
again into the water and swims once
more the 800 yards. Then he strides
back to the bathhouse, removes his
dripping garments. dresses beside a
roaring fire, and motors back TO
town for dinner. He owes his COM
handing brain and compelling health
to a weekly plunge into the Atlantic
ocean, with the water at a tempera-
ture of 25 to 30 degrees above zero
and the circumambient air anywhere
from As degrees above to 2 below
zero"
At which the eighteen Beach
Nuts" and their friends applauded
President Siqueland, and the guest of
honor.
Among the palms, turning their ad-
miring gaze upon the speakers, sat
a score Of handsome, smartly attired
women, the wives, mothers and sis
ters of the men Of Polar aquatic in
stincts.
Really, Theodore has become a
much handsomer man since he began
his Winter dips" said one Of these.
