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.

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.
