The water fascinates, allures and enthralls. We act well and wisely to hsed its call and Go swimming! The intimate contact with the water, the over coming of this element, the struggle and the con quest are inspiring. The laughter comes to your heart, the joy speaks from your eyes and intense happiness is yours. The opportunities for this delight are at hand Popular Piedmont Park is the scene of much of this wholesome gayety. East Lake is the mecea for those who appreciate the benefits of this rec reation. Did you ever bathe 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 joy of living, the pleasure of happy combat with the water. If you can't swim, learn. Wade out into the cool, refreshing water, just as far as you can keep your footing, and get acquainted. Laugh at the water, coax and love it, but never let it guess that you are a wee bit afraid. Let it learn that you intend to be victorious, splendidly vic torious, as your acquaintance proceeds. By and by the water will 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 overcome those first few fear fill thoughts, that you are at home in the water and the pleasure in the bracing, 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 and cut according to the new lines, are a delight to the beginner. They carry the flat trimming or pretty turn-over eollars-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 liiTe 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 be enjoyed to its fullest, •J. M. High Company has selected the most prac tical of bathing suits.
