position the fortunate side scores one Miss has hall also Invented a ne new dive which she has christened the Venus Dive The Tho girl takes a position position position tion as much like the accepted one of Venus as she Is able swings s halfway around and dives from the board sort of from the side It is exceedingly pretty and when perfected b by practice Is Js not so very difficult Bruised shoulders shoulders ders and a knock or two ho however ever are tho the price of admission to being able to accomplish It gracefully Miss W stob herself Is a beautiful picture when hen she makes this dive dhe of or her own because she he has many of the tho other attributes of Y Venus besides grace race Little I leb June Wood is one of ot the tho girls who Is something of a marvel at swimming swim
