Not long ago Finley Peter Dunne, the humorist, was lured to one of these entertainments. The lady, wearing very few clothes, and, as a result of their lack, looking even plumper than usual, danced in an effect of moonlight calcium beams. As Dunne was leaving, one of the patronesses hailed him. "Oh, Mr. Dunne," she twittered, "how did you enjoy the madame's dancing?" "Immensely," said Dunne.

A little strychnine was put into a piece of meat, and thrown to him, when he soon departed, and we heard no more of the majestic sneaker. The Kebrabasa people were now plumper and in better condition than on our former visits; the harvest had been abundant; they had plenty to eat and drink, and they were enjoying life as much as ever they could.

Mr Flamm, I think Mr Gresham said his name was. Enter Flamm. Flamm. Ah, Plumper, how are you, old man? I was looking for you everywhere. Why, what have you done with Mrs Plumper and the children? Ad. My mother and her little grandchildren, you mean. I was not aware that they were to come here to-day. Fl. Your mother! and grandchildren! Oh fie! sly dog! A jolly row there'll be! El.

The belly is rounder and lies higher with a boy than with a girl, and the right breast is harder and plumper than the left, and the right nipple redder, and the woman's colour is clearer than when she has conceived a girl. To conclude, the most certain sign to give credit to, is the motion of the child, for the male moves in the third month, and the female not until the fourth.

When you come to examine into the actuating motives for any line of human endeavor you will find that vanity figures about ninety per cent, directly or indirectly, in the assay. The personal equation is the ruling equation. Women want to be thinner because they will look better and so do men. Likewise, women want to be plumper because they will look better and so do men.

Will you pardon me for being a wee bit personal? Are there many young ladies in these parts that are as as corpulent, or fat, or whatever you want to call it that is, are you any plumper than the average?" "I have been told that I am." "Once more pardon me, but have you done anything for it?" "For what?" she asked, considerably surprised.

I can see his face now, with a flush over each craggy cheek-bone when the butcher made him the present of some ribs of beef. He could not but take it, and yet whilst he was stalking off he threw a proud glance over his shoulder at the butcher, and he said, "Monsieur, I have a dog!" Yet it was Monsieur Rudin and not his dog who looked plumper for a week to come. Then I remember Mr.

Evan Gwyllim Jones, however, overdid it. He had to retire from the world to a Home some said even to a Mental Hospital. Six months afterwards he emerged, cured of his "voices," much plumper, and perhaps poor soul shorn of some of his illusions and ideals; but he married a grocer's widow of Cardiff, and the Daily Chronicle mentioned him no more.

It is worse, I think, when the fair, penitent, innocent, credulous dupe becomes in her turn the deceiver when she catches vice from the breath upon which she has hung when she ripens, and mellows, and rots away into painted, blazing, staring, wholesale harlotry when, in her turn, she ruins warm youth with false smiles and long bills and when worse worse than all when she has children, daughters perhaps, brought up to the same trade, cooped, plumper, for some hoary lecher, without a heart in their bosoms, unless a balance for weighing money may be called a heart.

She even looked a little plumper than when she came, and certainly very pretty. She climbed Pine Top Hill without making any mistake as to the best path, and went directly to a low piece of sun-warmed rock which cropped out from the ground not far from the bases of the cluster of pines which gave the name to the hill.
