 Tn Birmingham Each Year

pell Cory Is having one built at the summer home of his family at Fur key Creek and Miss Della Wood has a pool at her home in Woodlawn.
 It Is very observable that bathing suits are gayer and brighter this year than ever and group of young people in these suits in varied shades produce very effective scene.
 A charming custom (which is grow Ing Tn popularity is for parties of young people to motor out to Roe- buck Country club for a swim in the cool waters of that pool, after which breakfast is enjoyed on the terrace.
 Everyone can learn to swim. It is just question of getting started right and then persevering. It Is game which, like every other, must be played with courage, honor and invincible determination. It seems surprising that among grown people, that women, as usual thing. learn very quickly, while men take longer. For the beginner the first thing to be gotten into the mind Is that water Is not such fearful thing, after all.
 No matter how old a woman is she Is never too old to want to be made younger. and no exercise Is so re- juvenating.
 A neTFOuS DuSlHeSS woman who was so weary that she claimed to feel 1So years old, learned to swim. Each time she went into the water she said she had lost 20 years and the desire to become an expert swim mer had a magical effect in sup planting the dread of premature old age.
