Miss Pickett. Never.
Lucille. I’m crazy to learn to swim Aunt Jane.
Betty. Why if you can’t swim you miss half your life and sometimes all of it.
Ruth. I was down at the swimming pool at home one day and Mrs. Brent, she is terribly rich you know brought down her little dog and told the man she wanted her dog to learn to swim. So the man took the doggie and tossed him into the pool and doggie paddled back, of course. Then the man rubbed him with a Turkish towel, and told Mrs. Brent that was the first lesson and the charge was fifty cents and to bring the dog twice a week for six weeks.
Betty. Let’s have the land practice Miss Morgan, the way we did when we were learning.
Miss Pickett. Land practice?
Miss Morgan. The girls are taught the motions of swimming before they go in the water.
Betty. Come on, Aunt Jane, this is good for sciatica.
Ruth. And nervous dyspepsia.
Kitty. Ready for practice girls, form in line.
