A number of years ago. more thanpeople like to remember perhaps, SantaCruz was the favorite resort of theelect, the place having been made fash-ionable largely through the prefer-ence for it of beautiful and fascinat-ing Mrs. Hall McAllister and her threedaughters, who inherited so much oftheir mother's beauty and charm,Edith, now Mrs. Francis Newlands;Marion, who was Mrs.' "Wagner, andAlice, both of whom are now dead.They vrere all wonderf ul swimmers,

and their feats in that line and theireffective bathing costumes were thefeed for unlimited conversation of themost absorbing but complimentary na-ture. Summer after summer the Mc-Allisters went to Santa Cruz, and therewere other society folk. Mrs. JohnDahlgren, then Mrs. Henry McLeanMartin, and her sister. Mrs. CrittendenThornton, were aleo very gracefulswimmers and untiring. Later Mrs.Dahlgren'* daughters. Mrs. FrancisGrace (Miss Theodosia Martin) andMiss Catherine Martin, were classedamong the experts in that line. Itbeingtai<3 'that a more beautiful swimmerthan Mrs. Grace has never. been seen atSanta Cruz. The family still havetheir home there, coming from the Easteach summer to spend the season. 'andare often to, be seen in the surf. Thehandsome Corbitt sisters, Minnie, nowMrs. Beverly MacMonagle; Nellie, nowMrs. Fred Moody, and Laura, now Mrs.Beet, were also among the society girlswho "were seen frequently on the beachat Santa Cruz and were always notedas among the ibest. of those who wereswimming. • Mrs. George Crocker andMrs. Charles D. Alexander (who., wasthen Miss Hattie Crocker) also swam«xpertly and were among the enthu-siasts of several years ago. Miss Kate'Jarboe, now Mrs. Bull, spent much timeat the pretty seaside town and was avery fin* swimmer. Monterey was th»delfcat of raany natatorial enthusiasts

/•-** OCIETVS diversions change withv»v the advance of years, and whatI was altogether the correct and

in f c* ij.*::..^ry thing to do afew years since is now regarded as asomewhat eccentric or at ieast unusualor uninteresting pursuit. Such is prac-tically the case with swimming, at leastIn or near San Francisco. In SouthernCalifornia of course it is still a seasideattraction, but climatic conditions makeit more popular there than here. Whenthe thermometer registers the mercury

around Aiie 100-degree mark it,is in-deed a joy to sink under the crest ofa cool green wave, but in our less torridregion it often requires cuite a bit ofdetermination to tak* the first plunge

Into the icy brine, and a prolonged stayin the water is apt to be a painfulexperience that is not soon forgotten*.

A few years since swimming waialmost as fashionable, except amongthe aged, as bridge is at the presenttime, but the mode of life among SanFranciscans of the socially elect haschanged entirely. A decade or twosince the world of society went awayfor the summer, not to San Rafael,

Ross Valley or Berkeley, but to SantaCruz, Aptos (a place the very name ofwhich is now forgotten), or to Monte-rey. Then bathing suits were consid-ered as carefully as ball gowns, every-thing new or bizarre in that line wascommented upon and written up in thesociety columns of the city papers. Atthe present time a published paragraph

in regard to the bathing suit of any ofthe belles of the inner circles would beregarded as a decided oddity, and thegirl who swims really well is regardedas a really accomplished young woman.

of a more recent period, and many peo-ple have learned to swim in the tank 3at Del Monte. Mrs. Selby Hanna(formerly. Miss Marie Wells) and hercousin, Mrs. Truxtun Beale (formerly

Miss Marie Oge) were devoted to swim-ming at one time, and of course did itas extremely well as. they did every-thing, be it mastering languages, rid-ing horses or anything else' to whichthey turn their attention. Miss MinnieHoughton Is another well-known girl

who swims very well. Mrs. GastonAshe (formerly Dulce Belado)

wonderfully well, having learned.' atMonterey, the old home of her family,in her childhood. She still retains herinterest In the pursuit.and is one of thebest here.

Conditions are so different now at

these former resorts! (

Santa Cruz still has: the faithful fewwho go there each summer, and manypeople from the interior of the State,Seeing from the heat of the summermonths, throng the beaches, but it issadly changed" -sincte the days whenevery one who was any one was to bebe seen there, and no season was con-sidered complete without at least afew weeks at Santa Cruz. AtMonterey,too. all is different The beautifulhotel is filled a»»6f yore, but people gofor many brief visits during the sum-mer instead of spending the- entire sea-son, and Eastern and foreign guestsare more in evidence. People have be-come more advanced_in their ideas andmany of those who formerly went tothese places for the season go abroad.The pretty towns and country places inMarin have also been ~ built up sincethen .and have attracted? many of. theelect, who substitute golf, motoring,riding or driving for swimming.

Mrs. Fred Tallant was quite a won-derful swimmer a few years since, buthas given itup of late. Her sister. MissPearl Landers, however, still excels atIt and enjoys her tiny cottage at Mon-terey, where she has her^own privatebeach, to the fullest extent.
