Your Choice, Five Dollars
T HE song of the surf, the beckoning of the
breakers, thu lure of the lake invite us.
The water fascinates, allures and enthralls. We
tes
act well and wisely|to heed its call and-
Go swimming!
The intimate corrtact with the water, the over-
cqpiing of this element, the struggle and the con
quest are inspiring. ;The laughter comes to your
heart, the joy speaksj from your eyes and intense
happiness is yours.
The opportunitieslfor this delight are at hand.
Popular Piedmont Ptirk is the scene of much
of this wholesome ga.vpty. East Lake is the mecca
for those who appreciate the benefits of this rec
reation.
Did you ever bathh or swim when a gentle
rain was falling? The raindrops tickle your
nose, they confuse your sight, they tantalize and
tease, adding to the joy of conquest. They help
to make you feel the ,|oy of living, the pleasure
of happy combat with the water.
If you can't swim, fr-am. Wade out into thp
cool, refreshing water, just as far as you can
keep your footing, andnget acquainted. Laugh
at the water, coax and|love it, but never let it
guess that you are a we« bit afraid. Let it learn
that you intend to he victorious, splendidly vic
torious, as your acquaintance proceeds.
By and by the -water' yill yield to your efforts.
You will glide along as! if it consciously aided
and abetted your joy of' conquest. The knowl
edge that you have overcame those first few fear
ful thoughts, that you art at home in the water
and the pleasure in the bqaeing, physical contact
inspires and cheers you.
The first requisite for swimming or bathing is
a good suit. The suit must be cut properly, fit
comfortably and be becoming. It detracts much
from your first feeling of helplessness if the bath
ing suit is becoming. When you are expert you
will judge of other details which add to your
progress—flat trimmings, elimination of super
fluous weight and ease of donning.
The J. M. High Company has bathing suits
for the novice and the expert, for the maid and
matron, for the youngster and his dad—for ev
eryone who appreciates the value of the best of
recreations.
The simple suits, well made snd cut according
to the new lines, are a delight to the beginner.
They carry the fiat trimming or pretty turn over
collars which will not dangle, damp and dripping,
in your face. Every detail is carefully planned
to aid, not impede, your progress.
When you first go swimming your costume
will be rather elaborate. You will wish a pair
of the bright, pretty bathing slippers and the
whole line of accessories. You will choose your
cap with a view to becomingness and be far less
conscious of your lack of skill than if you looked
and felt a dowd.
When you can really swim you will become
an expert in choosing your bathing costume.
You will know that the pretty sashes, the long
ties and the large collars give a gorgeous effect
on land, but prove real hindrances in the water.
You will learn that your suit can be pretty, yet
practical.
That swimming may he enjoyed to its fullest,
J. M. High Comparfy has selected the most, prac
tical of bathing suits. You will not be misled
into the purchase of a suit that will prove im
possible for swimming, though attractive on the
beach. Every suit is practical. Moreover, they
are all fashionable. They embrace all the timely
touches with no loss of practicability. You can
appear well, feel comfortable and swim with lit
tle effort.
These suits range in material from serviceable
self-material, braid, striped material and stitch-
mohair to shining silk. The trimmings are in
ing. The prices begin at $2.50, for a pretty, prac
tical suit, to $15.00 for a handsome, practical one.
The caps, in all colors and a great variety of be
coming styles, cost from 50c to $1.50. The slip
pers, picturesque with their long ankle lacings,
are priced at 25c to $1.00.
There is no exercise so physically beneficial.
There is no pleasure so intensely wholesome.
Every muscle is brought into play. The chest
broadens and grows strong. The mental attitude
is positive and inspiring. To s\vim is to live at
your fullest.
J. M. High Company is co-operating with us
this year. They are ready with bathing suits,
bathing accessories and bathing suggestions.
Let’s go see them and then—
Let’s go swimming!
