TEACH 'em to swim." This is
the advice of a doctor-is fact, very famous physician-when parents ask him how to keep their children it and lively.
He believes that swimming is the finest exercise devised since Adam and Eve caused all this nuisasce which we call civilisation.
And he holds that although slim people don't make the best ewim- mers, swimming has no equal as a slimming exercise.
Any one with pluck asd slight intelligener can learnt keep afoat in water-and swim in an amateurish way-is three minutes. Any one who cannot learn to swim in three hours-or six half-hour l lessons-well; it's just too bad for: thous folks, getting such a shabby deal when tho brains asd pluck were handed out:
Style is the Thing.
The lest way to learn to swim is to take lessons from an instruc-i tor in swimming bath.
The next thing to do is to join the swimming club attached to the said bath. You need not join the club. If you don't, the odds are that you will remain a poor swim- mer to the end of your life.
For only in club swimming will you ever lears the mystery of style.

The dumbest thing in the world is the pretty girl who can't swim.
Usually she is immaculately got up. Complexion and eyebrowe per fects. Colour scheme wonderful; the Intest costume of course,——
Put to Shame.
But she just has to splash about while girls asd boys of six seven re gaily going off the high diving board: My advice to those who want to swim well is to learn in a public swimming bath,-when they have mastered the breast

At Gordons there are some bar- gains in shoes to be picked up this week as several of the light- weight Summer shoes are marked. down. Moreover it is possible t find a shoe in every conceivable co- lour, so that one can be sure of matching any outfit. I saw linen shoes in blua and orange and green and navy at many different prices and shoes in Walter and Kid in every shoes of berge and brown.

Looking at these dressss brought me to the subject of cor- sets. It is no use for people to buy pretty well-cut frocks unless they attend to the figure which un.. derlies them.
