(By ANNETTE KELLERMANN. )

The single over-arm stroke is a beautiful stroke when well done. All of you who are following these les sons should work particularly hard at this stroke so that you can do it well. The only difference between the under arm and the over-arm is that you bring the left arm out of the water.
 In order to do this gracefully, l wish you to imagine that your left arm is the oar of boat. Most of the swimmers 1 have seen executed this movement hideously. The buckling up of elbows and the lack of grace that attends this movement can easily be overcome if you keep the arm straight

the legs should be done with plenty of snap and ginger.
 The left arm should never be brought out of the water until it is down on direct line with the thigh The most important thing is to time the movement of your arms and legs so that thev act together.
 When you kick let it be d good wide kick with plenty of force behind it Keep the body on d level as much as you can. No part of your body should slant to any noticeable degree.

He looked at her a little while before
he answered; in fact he had rather the
the effect of being too absorbed IN looking
at her to speak. Then he said: " No,

"Then go and begin"
"But that is what / am here for"
He looked after her as she turned indig-
nantly away. "Why do you try to do
if you would sit down here a minute and
let me speak to you" He pulled
chair forward, but Juliana, instead of
taking it, seized the cake board and gazed
at him angrily across it.

you will go away" she said. You are
simply hindering me. Your work in the
kitchen doesn't amount to anything and
don't believe that your socialist doc
trines prescribe any time spent In trying

ooh, Julianal How crude!" he sighed,
his eyes dancing. Then he added softly,
Il am not trying to flirt with the cook.
The cook has went, you know" He

Juiana dropped her spoon and the

she was holding without any idea of how
she intended to use them.

she announced.
He stood looking at her, amusement,
admiration and other things she did not
stop to analyze, In his gaze. You have

went away.

afternoon sunshine The surface was
scored into a puzzle of diverging lines by
the wheels Of carts and carriages, cycles
and motors. Yet Peace hunted it over
even more closely than he had hunted
the paths In the grounds. He was par

In which the body had lain, and finally
the sergeant got down IN the drying mud

about ten yards from the gate when the

her chin. She had not had time to achieve
the pompador that morning save IN a
modified form, and her rather delicate
beauty, which was not, strictly speaking,

ready to the last detail, taking the greatest
pains. At least Mrs. Wentworth should
realize what a good cook she had lost.
Then she ran upstairs to dress. She got
out tailored linen bought for an emer-

again and piled it up into the tremendous

she parted from her reflection IN the new
mirror with q smile. But when she ran
noiselessly downstairs intent on the fin
ishing touches, the carriage had returned.
Mrs. Wentworth's door was ajar. Her
voice came from 1t, a minghng Of horror

the first opportunity to pour her woes into

the dining room to see that everything

crossing the hall and glanced IN at her
indifferently without speaking. They

ing-room.
"Oh, Mr.. Farnsworth, do come and

Redder grew Juiana's cheeks. She
stood a moment. Then she started swift
" for the back stairs. These was a
