Show Beauty In an Athlete's Suit. Satui-day at Start. Grove, given by Halcyon Parlor and the Olympic Club o' Alameda, was Mi3S Harria, of Berkeley. The weather was quite warm at the grove, and she was sitting in the cool shade on the bank of the brook which runs through the grove. Her foot went asleep, and to revive the circulation she arosaand walked across the brook, stepping step-ping on Btones. She started to come back, but lost her balance in the middle of the stream. A splash and a scream aummoned her companions, and she was pulled out of the mountain brook by K. C. Page and was dripping from head to foot. There was no change of clothing, and to keep on her soaked clothos was inviting invit-ing death. Among the picnickers was a young man named Giles Bradley. He is a member of the Olympic clnb, and had made up his mind to win some races, i When the mishap occurred to Miss Harris Har-ris he was togged out in his athletic suit. He at once realized the plight of the young lady, and going behind a clump of bushes - took off his raoing suit, put on his other clothes and returned to I the place where the friends of Miss Har-j Har-j ris were bewailing her misfortune. Ha I proffered his suit, and it was accepted with blushes by the young lady. The suit was donned by her, and was worn while her clothes were spread on the grass to dry. Mr. Bradley is now looked upon as the most gallant young man in Alameda, sacrificing, as he did, his chances of victories in races in order to accommodate a young lady. Oakland Tribune, |
