NUDIST CLUB.

« SOCIETY IN DUNEDIN. CAMP SITE IS SECRET. SWINGS AND SEE-SAWS. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) - DUXKDI.V, this day. A nudist club formed in Duned'm twelve months ago is reported to have flourished throughout the summer, dospite unseasonable weather. The locality of the club has not been made public, but, the site is on hilU snugly secluded and open for inspection only by -Old Sol." ••.Meetings" are held regularly, and there are all sort's of al tractions for members, even t-ec-.-aws and swings. Male members arc enabled to do gardening. .It is understood they derive far greater bo no lit from that exorcise than when forced to wear singlet and trousers in their own backyard. Healthy games are indulged in between se.xos, and everything possible is done to keep the society right up to the mark. Los* active pursuits include reading, knitting and card playing. The promoters of the club and those in it are prompted by motives of the utmost sincerity. They believe in what they are doing, and they are careful to give offence to no one*. Nevertheless, the idea of getting back to nature these day* when the 'first cold breaths of winter are becoming apparent would undoubtedly produce violent shudders on the part of most citizens before even i-o much a.- an oven-oat was discarded.
