Pool Game: 1924

An excuse to cool off
I suppose if you dropped a tile, it would be a good excuse to duck down into the water and cool off while you retrieved it.
Fun in the Sun
I just recently read (today, for that matter) that Mahjongg was a wildly popular game in the 1920s. Great to see picture evidence to back up my research! I love the swim caps, too. Thank you, Shorpy.com, for these photos. I especially love the ones from the 20s.
Do the tiles float?
I've never seen a floating game of Mah Jong before! I wonder if the tiles float.
