Swimming Club Dance
Pronounced Success

The reception and dance under the
auspices of the Milton Swimming and
Life-SavinS Club at the Hotel Har-
rington Friday evening proved TO be a
unique and successful affair. 1t was
the first public function of the
youthful members and was given for
the benefit of the clubhouse fund to
provide comfortable and convenient
quarters for the club at Chesapeake
Beach on the bay More than 400

parents and friends of the members
attending. During the intermisson
there was some very attractive and
interesting novelty dancing. probably
the most striking being the grotes,ilIc
and acrobatic dancing by Miss Myrtle
Thornburg. Her rendition of the
'Charleston" called for an enthusi
astic encore. Misses Anita and Fran
Gina Counihan We're captivating in
several fancy dances, displaying un-
usual grace and poise in pleasing spe-
cialty offerings. Miss Isabelle Irwin
met enthusiastic applause for sew

When the eight-hour day was
