IMPORTANCE OF THE BATH.

There is no doubt that women are
beginning to realize more and moro the
imp ortance OF the bath. 1t no longer
continues to be perfunctory duty, to
be gone through with as matter OF
course on Saturday nights, much as
the family washing is undertaken on
Monday.
The relation of cleanliness to godli.
ness has ceased to be of importance.
The bath has grown to be Considered.
on the contrary, q close adjunct to
wOman's beauty. The fair sex has
learned to study the bath and its Of.
fects upon their feelings. and incident
ally the action of tepid or hot water
on their fair skins and its efficacy in
softening and beautifylng their COM
plexions.
No longer can it be said that with
the majority of American women a
bath means simply wiping the face
with corner of wet towel, even If
the statement was ever true.
The women in foreign countries in
the past undoubtedly had greater ap-
probation of the nesr relation of the
bath to personal beauty than the
women of the United States. That q
great change in this direction has been
wrought Is shown by the greater intel
llgence shown by American women to-
day in the matter of bathing and their
growing prediction for what is known
as Swedish massage.

10 appears that IN deciding the case
OF Packard against the canyasslng
board Of Menomlnee county. the su-
prems court established a precedent
which will govern IN al contested

Identical with the other cases now be-
fore the court. Ii appears tina. Pack

cause. The application was denied.
IL must appear evident to the average
man that the supreme court IN taking
such action had in view the issue of
fact sure to arise upon the return of
the writ. The canvassers IN responding
TO such . writ would show by
affidavit that the votes thrown
out and not counted were Illegal votes.
The supreme court would be COM
peiIed to treat such q return as conclu-
ssve-for the original application for a
mandamus is in the nature OF an ex-
parIe proceeding. For instance If the
supreme court should say ''you must
count these defective votes" the can
vsssers could reply I'VE have counted
AL the legal votes" There the matter
must end. The supreme court cannot

dropping aud rich dark green palms
and ferns. In the lunch room the
tables were lighted with numerous
candles and artistlcally decorated with
carnations and hyacinths, whose rich
perfumes pervaded every room.
In the ball room a beautiful effect
