STORY GUWiPSES
OF
C. V. Ashbaugh of Brooks
Describes Folk and Places
'. Along California Coast :
(Continued from Snaday Uat) ' -
We drove - the length ; of the
beach drive and climbing the
steep short connection to Ocean
avenue made a . trip to the upper
end of this elegant thorofare view
ing its homes and hotels. Then we
put the car away, for the rest of
the day was to- be spent along the
beach where there is no room for
driving. The' pleasure pier is ad
Joining the municipal pier though
not running so far out. Here Is lo
cated the La Monica bail room,
one of the finest on the coast. The
orchestra is truly wonderful and
its reputation draws large crowds
to step to ita' perfect music. Fre
quently a f ilnr' celebrity is the
guest of honor as was the case
the evening we looked in, and this
ia ggod advertising too, for even
her where stars are so plentiful
they never get too commpn to be
admired. The dance floor is lit by
indirect lighting which changes in
color for. the different dances.
After each dance the floor is
cleared and the chain gates put
into place. Then as couples enter
for the next dance, the tickets are
taken. . "' - - ' ; '
Taking the broad concrete walk
that borders the sandy beach we
went on past novelty shops, apart
ments with their signs for rent,
clubs and eating places, until the
bright lights of Ocean Park ad
vised us that' we were in another
pleasure center. This is much
the same as the other resorts' with
the exception that it is called the
"Jews Reiovt." However for this
I would have to take their -word
as I did not notice any appre
ciable' difference '"i either- in the
crowds or the way they were
spending money, and certainly no
difference in the prices.
Further on .is Venice and it was
this fair shrine of pleasure that
we had set for our goal.
Venice, that is, the resort, is
the most popular of them all.-Be
side having about all the shows,
games and sights of the others she
boasts the largest plunge or nata-
torium in the district. She also
still has the canals and the lagoon
from which she took her name,
but she fain would recover the
ground wasted by these ditches,
lovely as they are, but now no one
seems to know how to get rid of
them for the earth removed to
form, them has-been, leveled and
made into fine lawns surrounding
beautiful homes.
- But this night was' too chill and
romance shivered at the thought

"The Plunge." as It is called is
an enormous affair when compar
ed to the little pool I used to
know when a boy that was built
built around our sulphur well. To
one side 'Of the entrance are the
spectators seats, on the water
level. On the second floor above
is a gallery where they can also
watch the splashing. At the shal
low end of the big pol a marble
fountain rises, an outlet for a big
streamo f ocean water heated to a
degree that makes it almost un
pleasant !to be near. However
bathers take great delight in
warming up after a long stay in
the deeper water by. sitting on the
edge of the bowl and letting this
steaming stream pour over their
backs.
The deck around the pool is of
tile, white and spotlessly clean. A
buoyed rope separates the shallow
portion from the deep. The upper
end is safe for the little? tots. Div
ing boards of various heights to
dare the adventurous are suspend
ed over the blue depths at the
deeper end. '
- We checked our valuables, got
a' suit apiece and hastened to our
booth- A guard keeps all the keys
which ' you may find easily, when
ready to go out. The ocean air is
free to enter in this part of the
building which lends speed both
to getting into the bathing suit
and back into the main part ot
the natatorium, or getting out of
a wet one into dry clothes. I slid
into the water with the rest and
was surprised to find how warm
it was. Another surprise was its
density. 1 had never tried to swim
in salt water before and my usual
effort brought me too much on
the surface. It took time to be
come adjusted to the tew condi
tion and stroke accordingly. Sure
ly a novice snouia learn 10 swim
readily in such water. .
Sinking seemed more difficult
than floating. The salt' stung the
eyes a little. at first but this was a
minor detail and did not mar any
of the pleasure of the bath.
Experts in diving and swim
ming were numerous and were not
at all backward in demonstrating.
It was a good show from the spec
tator's benches but to be a per
former even in a very small part
was much better.
We stayed in too long, yes, but
who could tear himself away from
such a novel winter sport. Did we
relish hot chocolate and hot-dog
sandwiches when we finally did
get out? I will let any one answer
who has tried it, -
