bathrooms of Marlborough House.
There is no special luxury about the
Prince's bathing apparatus. Some
people who go in for luxurious bath,
ing, fill their bathrooms with statp-
airy, have painted tile walls, and the
bath itself is fitted into a ease of
carved oak. Then there are marble
baths. They r both cold and
costly.
The most novel thing in baths,
however, is one fitted with a shower
bath overhead, a needle spray bath at
the sides and a wave bath that ruslles
out at the foot. These are in addition
to h ordinary hot and cold taps. So
that apossessOr of one of these ingen-
ious things can have five styles of
ing. They cost about a25.
