mer at the Y. w. c. A. the first time
she saw the pool thru which the tiled
floor shows as plainly as if 1t were
glass. will the ceiling come back up

there were 500 entries. 1t is open on
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays
from 2;30 to $3.50 and the women who
frequent it are as varied as the coral

three young mothers with babies less
than nine months old who leave their
infants with dOting grandmothers and
come regularly for their lesson. For
in four years they will have to be ex-

begin coming. Miss Gates has one
pupil who is fifty and this summer
