lie, so low brow a pool and it is av-
fully conspicuous-at least it seems so
to native KAnsans who have had little
opportunity to frisk among the bath
ers at some popular beach. A Kan
sas girl is very conscious Of her knees
when she first wears a bathing suit
in public. The neighbors and family
disapprove. That IS taken for granted
and il is difficult to escape from the
desire to please the neighbors and
family.
But on the other hand 1t is water.
And So and So whose father is a ply
sician and who Is most representative
went in one time. oh, 1t may have
been last year but she went in. Every
one ought to learn to swim. 1t would
be as unpleasant to drown as to die
of germs swallowed in the pool. Per-
haps it is pride and not modesty that
is keeping you from wanting to ap-
pear in public in a bathing suit And
pride goeth before a fall, and no one
would fall. 1t is democratic to mix
that you can be one with them and
yet not of them. A great many go in
and few are i'll from the effects. The
large scratch on your elbow that
might become infected by the dirty
water really is almost healed over and
besides it probably w3 s hurt it.
There will be a meeting of the ac-
