Mrs Darlington, on board the Chelsea ferry
boat as she saw row of nude boys standing
on raft near the ferry awaiting the moment
to take plunge. Their clear cuticule gleam-
ed in the sun. and Muscular beauty and youth
full grace were revealed in every line. what
a study for a sculpn. and how | love to see
the little dears so enjoying themselves. =
Little dears,'' said old Roger, touching the
Brahmin, should say they were little bares.'
The Brahmin, who was familiar with like
scenes on the banks of the Ganges, said not
word. "How shockingly improper said
Miss Prim. turning away her eyes, . don't
you think it very improper, Mrs. Partington:'
Mrs. Darlington looks again. ''Well, said
she, II don't see that it was till you spoke of
it-perhaps it is-but perhaps the poor child
is crippled Il mean the improperly of go
ing into the water before folks, persisted Miss
Prim. "Oh, that is quite another thing said
Mrs. p, smiling, and depends upon how we
look upon it. If the boys have no idea about
improperly, | don't see why we should have.
If our minds arc pure we would see no impur-

snuff as Miss Prim went into the cabin, and
Ike stood longingly looking at the boys as
they plunged like frogs beneath the surface,
and broke two buttons from his jacket, as half
forgetful, he tried to strip off to follow them
Twas very natural.
