Society Seeks Old Swimming Hole
With First Days of Intense Heat
ESS has been said this year than.
I last about the "good old swim
ming hole," but when the
weather finally grew viciously warm
the lure of the cool lake or pool was
too strong to be resisted. Then,
without any blaze of glory or any
press notices, swimming came into its
own and burned faces and arms ap
peared in the best society. At the
Council Bluffs Rowing association
any number, of young people have
Spent their leisure hours in swim
ming. Some of the girls, whose very
best men have gone away in the serv
ice of their country, spend Friday
evenings in the water, while others,
younger or older, enjoy the weekly
dinner dance.
One group of girls well known in
Omaha, who are devoted friends,
have taken swimming very seriously
with the result that they are adepts
at the art. Last Tuesday, you re
member, was a broiling day on the
countryside. These girls, the Misses
Beatrice and Genevieve Tinley, Irene
Kinzel and Mary Mitchell, thinking
that the atmosphere was propitious
for a swim, went to the lake and
were just ready for the grand plunge
when scudding across the lake came
a furious wind. It chased the white-
caps high up on the boat docks and
with the hail played havoc around the
place. Swimming was out of the
question for a while. Miss "Genevieve
Tinley swam in safely after a dive
off the soring board, but farther than
that they could not venture until
after the storm had abated. When it
did the little group piled into the wa
ter for a short swim.
Wednesday at Carter lake was an
other warm, moist day. Hosts of
women who came to the club for the
'yarn week" bridge party took ad
vantage of the lake to go swimming.
Misses Isabelle Pearsall, Frances
Patton and Louise McEwan, the
Hawaiian musicians of the afternoon,
with their friend, Miss Kathleen
Giveen, stopped their swimming long
enough to play a tune and have a
little dance on the shore. In gay
bathing suits with yellow lais about
their necks and tinkling ukeleles in
tbe'r hands they made an animated
group.
Miss Norma McMillan of New
York, who is the guest of Miss Edna
Peterson, swims well. While swim
ming at Valley the other day she
burned her arms badly, so that the
water will not attract her again until
they have healed.
Mrs. Charles Fanning has long
been one of the best swimmers of the
manv clever women swimmers in
Omaha. Her stroke is long and sure
and she seems perfectly at ease in
the water. She has reached the stage
of accomplishment when long dis-
tance swims appeal to ner ana on
many a pleasant day she can be seen
wimminz farther away from the
dock than anyone else at the club.
Her friends grumbled when she left
them for even a half hour to enjoy
1 a little swim while they played bridge
? jbiide, but she didn't seem to mind.
