side, turns over and treats the oth
er side in the same manner, and
then goes home and brags about
how she fought the awful waves.”
Whereat the Salem Statesman says:
The foregoing is a base and un
warranted libel on the Oregon girl.
On the contrary, wheD she wants to
bathe she puts on a bathing cos
tume, generally, and makes a break
for the water with all the enthusi
asm of a neophyte, dashes through
the waves with all the confidence
of a duck, spuits like a porpoise,
and then floats around like a big
pond lily.
Moreover, she is as
graceful in the water as a baby
elephant. The only trouble is, that
she doesn’ t know what to do with
her hands and feet when she tries
to swim, and that she insists on
keeping her month open, probably
with the charitable intention of
affording the poor old ocean an
outlet for its superfluous waters.
