Concessionaires regard the water pollution report as "the usual scare at the beginning of the season." Said one: "This happens every year. Then people forget about it." They Don't Use It Several concession-owners questioned, admitted that they never have time to swim. "I've been here five years and never went in the water," said one. Concessionaires don't like talk about polluted water. It's bad enough for business to have rainy weather like we've been having," said Mrs.

Fanny Cohen, concessionaire. "Now polluted water. Then tomorrow the 10-cent fare!" she exclaimed with exasperation. Said the mother of two small youngsters; "I let them walk in the water up to their ankles, just enough to keep cool. It would be awful if they got that water in their mouths!" she exclaimed in horror.

Difficult to Understand 'I wouldn't go in at high tide," explained a heavily tanned, middle-aged woman, who had just waded ashore after a swim. "You should see the garbage and sewage floating on the water then! It surprises me to see how indifferent some people are about it," she continued. "Foreigners 'are shocked, though. In their countries they don't see water like this."

This is our way of protesting the 20 percent tax on women's handbags not particularly effective but it satisfies us. Every time we find a nickle (a dime beginning today) for subway fare without having to wade through a great deal of clutter there being no room in a cosmetic kit for anything but bare essentials we feel we've told Congress off, all right! And, of course, we do get around and occasionally someone, asks, "You're not carrying a handbag how do you manage?" Well, to tell the truth, it is a trifle inconvenient. There's no room for note paper. There's no room for cigarettes. There's only room for money, compact, lipstick and comb and that with a tight, squeeze.

SO.MKTIME AGO WE ATTACKED this 20 percent tax from a different angle a man's pants pockets. Congress never slapped them with a 20 cents-on-a-dollar penalty! They are no different, from a woman's handbag. Congress wouldn't listen to reason, our reason. Of course, Congress coming marriage of their daughter. Miss Hazel King, to Wil liam Gay.

My vote is in nobody's pocket. PLEASE NOTE We hope you won't mind but like everyone else, we, too, find the heat insufferable and seems like a lot of tomni.yrot to be talking about Fall styles. Silting in the salons or high fashion these" days doesn't make sense. Models, who have our deepest sympathy, traipse by, their throats wrapped in mink scarfs. You know, it is almost, inhuman.

Thus in relation to Mrs. I suggest you bear in mind the aforesaid truth as first-aid at all limes in accommodating yourself to her concentration of interest in your household, and to the homespun love-offerings she presses upon you, which are expressive of her resistance to her unconscious fear of becoming the "forgotten woman" in her son's life.

In one of the prettiest settings on Long Island, Dogwood Hollow in Stony Brook. Eleanor Steber of the Metropolitan Opera Company, gave a concert to the delight of her neighbors. It was what might be called a "perfect setup" for it was a gorgeous setting for a beautiful voice. Miss Steber, who to her neighbors is Mrs. Edward Bilby, selected songs from her repertoire that were most appropriate to the natural auditorium.

On the platform bedecked with garden flowers, Miss Steber looked lovely in a white Summer gown that had a draped underskirt; She was singing for neighbors who were her friends as well.
