HERE In MINNESOTA
Three Different Parties Enjoyed Bath
ina In Lake WASHINGTON Yesterday.

Bathing In Minnesota lakes on the
sixteenth of October, is something out
of the ordinary for this section of the
country. But this actually took place
at Lake Washington when three diff
ferent parties enjoyed a dip in the
lake yesterday afternoon.
The sun shown warm and brightly
and there was little or no breeze, the
surface of the lake for the greater
part OF the day being smooth and
calm. The water was a little cool,
cooler than on hot July or August
day, but after the bathers had taken
their first "ducking' in the water,
they enjoyed the dip all the more.
The bath was very refreshing and
stimulating.
Will our good California friends
please note the fact Of lake bathing

tober and spread the news to others
in that state who are In search of the
most delightful climate of all the
states which is to be found only in
