 Some days ago 6 certain Angelo no, 6 pbysIciAn of the cIty. went to SsDis Monica. and decIded to take little dip Iu the brinv. He was ID one of the bsthing housrs dIvestIoR himself of the garments when usual sd rn the male hum 10 snimsl while on terra hrms, spd don0ing those which this semi-am 'hi- bious lord of cr-atlon wears when be .kes plunge" where there are eyes polite 70 s-r him. In the n-xt httl, om SAs su IndividGAl engaged in the sHm- lzuiable und rtskiog. But whi'e ali went ID Try as s maiTIRga bell vIIh the Aage iio disciple If E .cslapiu-, wIt the other sweet bells of seaside life were ug d out of tune and hsrst. From Ihe lBRermost recess of hIs sou, ID biz, manly base, came soIiloquy, of which this IS but mere reflex Of the troubles:
 "Weli. I suppose this s all right, bu' It looks agiuly short. Why, l never suppo- d people went m bathIng with dress ike that. And, just shink, ladies 70 iul Why, there are d lot of them out there now! If fellow oJuid only keep ID deep water # would not be so bad. can keep ID deep water, but how can l get there unobseryedf And when l want to return how csn get back with out being seenI do not want 70 stsl out at ses all night. But l am all si ses now, ss to how I shall ever take 6 bath m this suit. l wonder if tbere are any people out there now! will take look through the keybO Why, there they are in dozens; and I'll be hanged If they have not all got on suits just like mine. And the men are helping the ladles to swiml suppose 1t IS fun when you get used to it. l wonder If l could get used to 1t. Hello, there ate our party now. They are all dressed like me. l guess n is all right, and l will make the plunge. The sooner done, the sooner 1t is over with.
 So ending his "To swim or not to swim" sOliloquy, the man flung open the door snd made a great race for the surf. A stiff breeze blew and at each stride the shirt like garment which us- ually covers the torso of tbe human form deyine CD such occasions flew high | in the wind, discovering par of well roup led and finely developed biiurcstsd appendsges which makes msn SO like a | pair of compBsses. lt required but . | few giant strides tO reach the water. Warning and rem'Dstrance were Tn in As he joined the party 10 which be claimed to belong there went up oho- rus If shrill shrisks from feminins throsts which drew all eyes to tbe spot, The universal idea was thst some one vas ID the under tow. until s kind hand was seen laid on the shcnlder of tte hero of this story. and fIi-Odly voice xas heard to say, 'JiIp, get back 10 toe bath-house quick and put your bathing trunks on. You are out herv with only l 8 shiriV'
 "W-n," said Jim, "I thought there o,sht to be brceehes, but l could no' ind the -i things"
