about how folks look in their
sea bathing toys.
Taking folks by and large, and
hither and yon, and fore and art as IL

and affirm that you really think folks
the generality of folks-look pleasing
when they get ready to go sea bathing:
Because, if so be as how you can SO
affirm, yum and VOW, then the self-enac-
ing writer hereof feels that there must
be something pretty wrong and oblique
about his visualizing powers.
We are, just now. of the deliberate
opinion that bathing suits, as they are at
present rugged and employed for both
sexes, constitute a deadly wallop at the
ideal.
After a quarter of a century of obser-
walton and compiling, we HAYES statistics
which inform us that only one male per-
son in 7S9,567 looks what you could
truthfully call we'll in bathing suit. and
only one girl or woman in o6.74 looks
likewise in ditto. 1t will at once be seen
that the girl or woman, according to these
figures. has a considerable bulge; yet her
ratio is SO small. all things taken into
consideration, as to be almost map
=
thing for anyody to see 56,784 girls or
women in bathing suits at one and the
same time.
And when, out Of these huge punches
of numbers here presented, the one young
Teller does speed along who looks well
in a bathing suit, why, the young Teller
is so Internally. idiotically. Silly. vapidly.
vacuously conceited and enamored of
his fatal gift of beauty and is So pea
cockishly struttish and foolish and simple
and dotty and things about it that'he's
altogether too grinding and cloying a
nuisance for anybody to look at with as
much as nickers worth Of patience
And by the same token, when you come
across the one girl or woman out of the
vast number above given who looks trig
and tidy and pleasing in a bathing suit,
why, she. too. like the young Teller, is 50
hideously and manifestly aware OF il that
all Of the charm and delight and dolce
far niente is taken out of the spectacle
she affords. and you feel like turning
your eyes away in order to avoid so vain
and unwinsome a spectacle
