MAIDENS WITH NUSLACHES.
The Process Of Removing Them from
The Pretty Upper LIP.

! report er yc, ter'lay afternoon stepped
INTO the office of Or. Sam Woody, on
West Walnut street. The Young physi-
clan was seated at Il table and wore over
his eyes rair of strong spectac,es that
brought his eyes within an inch or two
Of the cOun;enance upon which he was
working. 1t was the face of handsome
bruentte just verging into womanhood.
On her upper lip, and slightly shading
its scarlet hue grew dark, sIlken mus
tache that on dude would have been
cherished and cultivated as the choicest
treasure on earth. Her head rested in
a metal plate connected by $ wire with
a galvaniC battery on the table.
The doctor took up from the table, ut
his elbow, something that looked like
an ebony pen stat. This also was con.
nected with the battery. In the end
was very fine plated needle. The
doctor looked cautiously fver the young
lady's dainty little mu,;ache aud at
length singing out hair, inserted the
point Of the reedlc down by the hair
bulb and, pressing little Spring in tie
handle, turned on the current from the
battery.
Wnen the electric current ran down
the point of the needle. the young lady
WINGED and clenched her hands, while
the tears came 10 her eyes. This lasted
only for moment, for as soon as little

hairs on each sile OF The lip, the doctor
stopped The young iaiy removed her
head from the metal plate, wiped her
face with q scented pocket handkerchief
and tripped gayly 10 the mirror. She
took long glance of intense satisfaction
and gleefullv remarked that they would
soon al be gone. Then she put on her
bat and left, after having made au APP
pointment fOr another sitting.

young ladies who are unfortunate enough
to have such hirsute adornment?" re-
marked the reporter evil YOU tell me
how il is done?"
The operation is not very new" was
the reply. at has been known and
prac;iced for several years, especially In
The east. Theelectric current decomposes

cumulates around the needle. and DIES,

1T Is, then, very easy thing for
woman to have mustaChe removedw
Il he chief objection to the process is
its tediousness. Every hair bulb must
be destroyed singIy, making the removal
