woMAN's IDEA OF A BATH

"ohA-s ibHa VT "A Dam
In the seas is to step down to the water and
try the surf with the tips of her toes to see
if it really is water. Then should a bold
wave rush up and wet her ankles she must
utter q shrek and run back where it ia dry.
Bye and bye she gets Drawer and goes in
knee deep and catches hold of the rope
Then she will sit down in the water,
but must jump up again and say it's "aw-
full cold" When she isn't looking, a
big wave will break over her, and
she gets thoroughly wet, much against
her will, for she intended to keep her
hair dry. Then she moves along the rope
little, and strikes her dainty foot against
a clam shell She screams, splashes out of
the water, and declares that che has been
bitten by shark. She goes in again after
her fright Is over. and catches hold of the
rope with dozen other women, and Jumps
straight up and down in the water, uttering
the strangest sounds, most like the growing
of an infant When awave breaks over her
she puts it down as Of the masculine gender
by saying, wasn't that big fellow, while
a lusty man, getting ready to dive under it,
e1claimes, "Here she comes." Fat women
seem to enjoy bathing the most. The dear
big creatures in their sckets and panta-
looms and straw hats come down into the
water like rosy, fat monks out for lark
They always stand and contemplate before
entering the water. How portly they seem
10 their outfit. Everyone an alderman in
size. never could understand why they
stand and gaze az the ocean before entrustipg
their corpulency to 1T, and 1 wondered, if like
good mothers that they are, they are afraid
of displacing SO much water as to make it
rough at sea for some poor sailor boy, as
they move about. Very pretty women will
look pretty in TIE water, but the ordinary
good looks OF woman deteriorate into hid
eousness, when her cheeks get pale and her
nose blue. 4 young woman came out on
the sands the other day and let down a mass
of curling auburn hair, which fell below her
waist. She splsshed into the water and,
her hair fosted about like sea weed. In
deed if properly bound about her she would
have etded 10 other dress.
