Plumpful Is a very buxom dame
whose tightly packed coIsets creak
when she moves, and whose physical
development disdains the meretrlcious
aid of that close friend TO skinny fe-
males which Mrs. Cleveland has 90
sagacioualy cast into the ash barrel.
Mrs. Plumpful 10 the possessor Of
snug little fortune, and goes around
good deal in all seasons, enjoying life
thoroughly, convinced that 1t Is well
worth living for.
Liks all fat women, Mrs. Plumpful
10 extremely fond OF displaying her
buxomness In the briny. wherein she
will remain floating, dabbllng, duck
ing and bouncing for hours at a
stretch, to emerge red of cheek, bright
lof eye, and shiny of form, TO the
delectation of such of the male sex as
admire that style OF adlposlty.
One OF the plump widows most ar
dent but most respectful admirers Is
Sam Gale, a curbstOne broker, fat,
freckly and forty. He Is privy to the
fact that the widow Is the happy pos
SCISSOR of cool $4,000 year, and TO
possess her would enable him to re-
move his Office from the crown OF his
hat TO one OF those palatial buildings
where the very janitors bear the i'm
print of many and easily earned dol
lars.
To come at Mrs. Plumptul was the
object of Sam Gales thoughts, waking
lor sleeping, OF his own acquaintance
he could name two men, daring, des-
perate fellows, who had resolved upon
marrying her, and if in his limited
circle, there were two, how many did
Mrs. Plumpful's acquaintance boast
Off
Besides, the hot weather was on,
and-well, II in the spring young
mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of love, it is In the nineties that buxom
widows feel inclined to lend a voluptu-
Gus ear to the same delicious old
melody.
Having posted himself as to Mrs.
Plumpiul's daily doings, Sam Gale
discovered her fondness for the sea,
and he resolved even on the sands upon
creating some foothold from which to
spring into the fair ones arms.
Fate, upon boiling day In past
week, took up the cards Of Sam Gales
life, shutlied and dealt them, giving
the amorous curbstone broker full
hand; yea, q very full hand indeed,
which, to do him justice, he played
for all II was worth.
The Boomerang Bathing Pavilion
at Long Branch was in full blast, aud
every available square inch of bathing
costume was rented, even to the trunks
OF the colored gentleman who checked
articles of value. In red hot condi-
ton, o vapor mist rising from behind |
his wilted shirt collar, and gaspiug for
breath, MIR. Samuel Gale presented
himself at the ticket office,
Hello, Sam" cried the worthy |
"going inf"
"Pll never come out, once get
there"
"Guess others is of the same way Of
Sam. You'll have to wait"
"GiYe me any sort OF suit, Put |
me in anywhere, Ed"
Can't do 1t, SAM
my dear Ed, I'm just Frustrated;
that's what's the matter"
"You do look all broke up, Sam, !
and III do this Tor you. You're pretty |
stout, real rounder. Suppose l lend /
you suit-it's lady's, but she's as
stout as you are"
"Is il made the same way as
~ guess 80. Anyway, It's all can
do. Here's the key of No. 1000.
You'll find the suit hanging up all o.
K. But, Sam, this is on the strict @. |
r., you know. NUNS the world"
Sam Gale would have gone into
harlequin's eel fitting suit or Chinese
pantaloons, so eager was
be to cool his ieverish body in the
booming briny. BE had had a very
exciting day on the curb, had bawled
himself hoarse, had partaken of numer-
ous schooners Of lager, and was now
almost crazy to wrap himself up to the
chin In a mantle Of close fitting ocean.
Box No. 1000 was not SO easily
found. 1t was away in dark corner,
aud the light, even when the door was
opened, was not of the best.
Hanging on pegs were the garments
used by ladies iair, when disporting in
The sad sea waves; but what somewhat
startled Sam was a mound of soft white
which lay on seat in the corner.
"Women's fixln's," he murmured.
~ guess / won't NEEDLE with Them"
A few minutes found Sam founder
ing In the wavelets, and, rapturei
check by jowl with the buxom widow
Of his thought, her tempting form en-,
cased In bathing suit similar to his
OWN.
A woman, whether II be on dry land
Or on the sea, in balloon or down
Is ever conscious OF q
mans admiration for her, and Is ever
open to receive its dulcet soothings.
Mrs. Plumpful recognized in Mr.. Gale
. gentleman who ever gazed upon her
with respectful amoriDgs, and being a
widow, and bit of q fiirt, responded
10 the curbstOne brokers' glances with
ripples from between long lashes.
Emboldened by proximity, Sam Gale
ventured nearer and allowed this OBJ
TO escape him:
"The water 10 very warm, madam.
"Ain't it2" laughed the widow. at
makes one feel, oh-so-so sleepy.
guess could go to sleep right here"
aTry it." laughed the broker. II
will call you at any hour you name"
Would you, thoughp with an arch
look.
The commotion became very play
lul, and so did the widow. She allow.

she went under, and chung to him
