The reporter looked at his head, then shut his eyes and looked hurriedly at his feet. At either extremity he Was wearing Clark Gable moustache and a pair of sandals. "Hello," said Mr. Parks. "Come in." Somewhat encouraged, the reporter ran his eyes over Mr. Parks. He was clad in trousers. "Why the disguise?" asked the reporter. Mr. Parks laughed. "You thought you were going to see a lot of nudists flitting about through the trees?" "Well, don't you? Flit about through the trees, I mean." "Not always," said Mr. Parks. "There are mosquitoes and brambles and they make flitting about through the trees in the nude rather a tiring process. You should try it some time." "I will," the reporter said. ?."Some time." In the big living room of the big house, ten some time nudists were sitting around informally. All were dressed, at least partially. The reporter was introduced. It was embarrassing but not as embarrassing as it might have been. As Mr. Parks himself said later, "It's a mere matter of pigment that makes all the difference in the world." Someone had to start things going so the reporter said, "Ha, Ha, I suppose no nudes is good nudes." d'That," said a young man wearing a brown pair of bathing trunks and exhibiting a rather sunburnt and paunchy front, "is very funny.' It is a grade A pun." "It has been a grade A pun for years," said Mr. Parks. "I thought I was coming to a nudist colony," said the reporter. "This looks like a houseparty at Folly Beach." "You haven't seen any nudists in the nude altogether?" asked Parks. "I saw four in swimming when we urrived, but that's all." "You seo," said Mrs. Parks, as she adjusted a long silk dress already below her knees so as to cover her ankles, "we have rules. We don't let people come to dinner without clothes and we don't allow .them to come in here (the central club house and sitting room) without clothes. We swim, play games and take sun baths together. _ And we walk.-around with* out any clothes. But when strangers are on the island." She shrugged her shoulders. "We're not exhibitionists?" "Nakedness is not compulsory to members or guests," said Mrs. Parks. "However, persons not desiring this additional facility for health and recreation probably will- prefer holidays elsewhere." Twenty-five nudists now are encamped on the mile square island, four miles from Beaufort, a mile and a half from Port Royal, and within easy binocular distance from Paris Island. In small bungalows arranged in a row along the waterfront, supporters of the national uncovery administration reside. And they are not completely without modesty. On several of the houses, shades were in evidence. A large sign at the big house read: "Laundry will be done for 50 cents a week." According to Mr. Parks, "one woman remained here for three months and never knew it was a nudist colony. She went off by herself to take (her sun baths and at meal time people were dressed. When she ran into a naked" person, she thought that he was merely careless." But to return to the -Big House and the ten sometime nudists: Mr. Parks was speaking. He already had explained that the colony, started \p April, 1932, was the oldest privately-owned .(Sylvan Sanctuary for Nudists in America; tihat it was largely self-sustaining; that the nudists cultivated the land; that cows, pigs, hens, mules, goats and sheep were raised; that the group canned vegetables and fruit fot their own purposes and commercially; that it originally was started as a "back to the land government" but the original settlers, Germans, began to light among themselves about Hitler an# the Communists so that the venture : I .J f. -r--V? If r, -irnrf-:/-. - or.n?r+?K~rT ,' 'in ~i T wii i i proved unsuccessful. "In im," he said, "I was **u* dated with McFadden publications, making $12,000 a year. I knew Mrs Roosevelt, who was at the time writing for 'Babies Just Babies.' I lost money in the stock exchange. I thought 1 saw the trend and 1 believed in the back to the.land movement. So I wrote the Beaufort chamber of commerce a letter saying, Have you any sea islands for sale cheap? I want one about a , mile square.' They wrote back about Cat Island and here we are." The room was not modernistic. The curtains were of cretonne. Tasteful, small etchings were hung on the wall. The furniture was old and comfortable. A stark plaster of paris death mask, hung to the l^t of a large fireplace, lent the only modern touch to the Big House. An insurance man from St. Petersburg spoke up. "I come here for my vacations. I find I can get as much rest in two weeks here as I can in three months at a resort." This from a lady from Kansas City who was wearing a Mother Hubbard. "It's a wonderful place. I've gotten .rid of my repressions." This from a Chicago* lawyer, said to be prominent: "I don't see what all the shooting's about." This from a handsome young Philadelphia woman, the wife of a successful doctor: "iSocial sunbathing and sharing in zestful' outdoor life has become publicly recognized as a proper health measure." This from Mrs. Parks: "Not overstressing the physical, the cultural or the esthetic, we aim at a normal union of all these." This from Mr. Parks: "I guess I have the Robinson Crusoe complex," This from the sunburnt paunchy fellow: "I work in Beaufort. A bunch of the boys and myself come over here week-ends and fish. We don't take off our pants. It's great?the fishing I mean." - These from Mr. Parks: "We are entering a new dark age of artificiality. Only nudism can wipe out the repressions and despair of the maChine-mode of civilization. We are not fanatics or freaks. The average person's conception of a nudist is your dirty-minded high school studeftt who sneaks off to the beach and goes swimming with girls at night. That's nudism to him?forbidden fruit."

There was a stiff row in prospect to return to Port Royal. The negroes who had manned the boat would be growing restless. The reporter, accompanied by ten of the Clad nudists, walked along the row of small cottages to the wharf. Several unclad nudists were on the street. A few could be seen resting on the bods in the cottages. They looked so cool and comfortable and unconcerned. The reporter felt as though he had come to a hard times party in morning clothes. "Come hack and spend a weekend," said Mr. Parks. "Bring your friends." And the reporter said, "I'd like to." And he really meant it. it'.' -lliisj il1 m. wm Household Uinta When boiling old potatoes, if you will add a teaspoonful of vinegar to the water, you will find that the potatoes will not turn black.
