 BLUFF A POSSIBILITY
Business Men Contemplate Adding This Institution to the City as a Place of Recreation.

The late Lowell haG Vision. but he passed the buck or to SIT Launfal, and said the latter had it much to the disgust of school chilG- ren. Nevertheless, every great effort is conceived by a dreamer Things are only as they hay seemed in wis icrs
 With the above paragraph as presmie, consider this scene: There is a sky as blue as the blue of Di- anas eyes, and as calm as the ma jestic stiffness of the awful silences of eternity. Clouds as fluffy as a powder puff fleck the blue of the sky like the silken ruffles about the breasts of a beautiful woman. The sun. 6 white-hot ball 5f molten fire, seems to stand still in the great are of the Heavens A warm, sacchar inc wind, redolent with the odors of the honeysuckle blcws languidly through the murmering trees.
 Al the edge of a green forest where the earth is damp and cool and where the birds fit necessarily, there is a deep pool of water. The wate, is of greenish color, stab- bed through and through with flick erins blades of white sunlight. Into the s1depths of this varia colored pool, men, women, and children are div ing, only to come to the surface laughing and shouting, while the sun eleams on the dull bronze of their tanned faces and shoulders, and their teeth gleam like polished ivory as they flash white again the brown of their faces.
 The above is not dream. but it 1s a vision of some planners who will make it reality. It might be an actual scene taken from the every day life of Pine Bluff people. It IS something which will become reality.
 To abandon verbage and figurative der way for the construction of q large. outdoor nstatorium for Pine Bluff. Several prominent business men are behind the project. and 1, but requires the united efforts of all lovers of comfort and of the snort or swimming for the vision to crys- tallize.
 It will be remembered that such u plan was hegun last fall. but on ac- count of the embar reo on lumber and the last draft. it had to be given up Now. thare is nothing to binder the nropcsed plan.
 H. I. Ho'derness. one of the or iginators. in speaking of it yester- day. said that the plans were as vet only tentative, tut that it was the idea of those behind the movement, to oreanize the club into a corpora tion with every member 6 stock hclder. The price required to De- come member would rot be beyond the reach of anyone. The pool will be located in some easily accessible nlace. and Mr. Holdernass said that the club would not he restricted in it's membership. but would be open to everyone who could show a social rating Of ordinary decencv. The members of the club would be gov erned by rules and resulations. ant the attractiveness of the place would not be fnarred by any miscon- duct on the part of its members. A dancing pavilion, he stated. might be added ss part of the pool Ar fanscments would be concluded fo~
 t@htjng the pool at nights. and those who did not swim could envoy | band concerts.
 Should the plan take with Pine Bluff. and the natatorium built. it will fill a long felt want in this city. The Y. M. c. A. swimming pool has over been popular. but it is too small to accommodate all of those who. every summer, crave the en- l joyment of swim, and the corcfort I attendant. Various "swimmin' holes" in and about the city have been popule-,-- s. they are more or less incCn,anillt, and are not es-
 pecally healthful. The propcsc;, natatorium seems the most welcome
