Hot Springs bath house this morning
from 8:30 to 10 o'clock, when the

the youngor generation, betwees the
ages of one and 13 year.
"Hey, you guys, watch me float
on my back." "Wow, I went V
deep that time I almost touched th
bottom," and "Mamma, I-M-I-'ra
cold," were some of the "water
talk" contributed by the .young a
plrants for aquatic honors.
Master Rtchnrd Dllllson, two yean
old, and ns wldo as he Is tall, almost,
was tho oungcst guest of the cham
ber. Ho cut a cunning figure In hi
little bib overalls, where he stood 'on
tho steps leading Into the tank and
refused to get more than his aaklaa
wet. Another gallant little fellow
about six years old, with a dimple oa
each shoulder and two other dimple
in his checks, camo too late and
though his disappointment a waa
great, ho announced that Jt would bar '
Just as much fun next time. Little -girls

hair sopping wet and stringing ha
every direction showed bo much de

boys were In danger of losing their
laurels.
Before the water party began Dr.

strokes, methods ot diving and float- ,
Ing. and It was surprising to.aee how
hard the little-folk, who had sever
been In the tank before, tried to fol

ably assisted by Miss Margaret Smith
who has bad three years Instruction

visitors with refractory buttons and
hooks. Despite her carefulness, one
little fellow got away with his suit
on backwards.
After 10 o'clock the children un
der 13 years, yielded the tank to
those from 13 up to 16, who held It'
until noon. Thursday morning the,
