I fotmd myself at the Serpentine at an
tmusually early boor in the morning. A
little way out in the water, in front of
the diring board, was n ladder lying on
the iea, and in front of this ladder wont
two trestle*.. Between these two trestles,
the ice was broken away, leaving a
space of water to dive into about ten
feet long by fire or six wide, the trestles
being placed there for the purpose of j
keeping the miserable little plunge bath
select from the skater*.'
To the left of the trestles was another
ladder lying on the ice. Near the bank
I found a policeman who was communi
cative. Tho bathers form a kind of club,
and number about twenty, he told me.,
They bathe every morning. No matter-
what the weather is, in they go just the
same. All classes of people belong to
tbe club, I was further told, and some
came from a good distance. One tu
thusiaet is 78 years old. His hair and
beard are wliite as snow.
Just behind us was a very fine old elm
tree. “That,” said the policeman, “is
their favorite tree. That is where they
dress and undress.” I soon found that
this was the case, as th^ bathers came
upi The first roan to arrive lost no time
in undressing, but went to the tree and
threw off his clothes, chatting to tho po
liceman the while. Then he sped gayly
to his little patch of water between the
trestles. Into tho water be jumped—
it is very shallow here—and dipping
underneath it Ix'gan to throw.out some
very large blocks of ice to the right and
left of him.
This done, be leaped nimbi j- on to the
diving board, poised himself, plunged
and disappeared beneath the water, but
only for a few moments, lit? Was out
again in that space of time and ran nim
bly to the tree, where he quickly dried
himself and rather shyly dressed. The
others also undressed quickly, inounl-
the board and divinl, hut only once,
they were out like the rother mau
and rapidly drying themselves. They
never take more than one plunge in the
cold weather. This was tho general
routine of all the bathers, who seemed
to enjoy the lurth immensely, uttering
delighted “Alas!” a* they wsut in amj
came out. \
“How do you f. eT” wij l I to one who
waa drying himself, “cold?”
“No; all of n glow—warm nil over.”
“H< w do you feel when you go in first

made to save her little daughter from

“When I was a child,” she sari, “it
