"Is there some advance in gastronomy

Aweek at this sea coast resort give
abundant reasons for such a belief.
There ar people of all degrees Of fat

swelling Neeks,
make the prevailing type of which one
hundred and thirty pounds of female
mark the lowest manifestation. A

rsn.atICu point from the wide and Sc
rene smphtude.
Walter Taylor, a philosopher of direct
methods, suggests that only women Of
p~ryuuunced plumpnesS dare TO risk the
~Sui.uudreSS OF the surf, and that thin
women fee to the mountains, where

They are called "lovices" by the crowd

they gather holiness by bathing in
