"A HEARTY WELCOME AWAITS IT."
 Springfield Republican.
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1893-04-30

As I fingered 10 the rug-strewn pas
sage way taking in this first glimpse, /
saw q girl coming toward me. She was
one OF the bath attendants, and except
for the pile of towels hanging on her
arm looked q veritable nymph. Her
clothing consisted OF two ordinary sized
rough towels. One was fastened about
her waist; the other was crossed slant
wise from right shoulder to left hip. This
scant drapery, the effect OF the light
on her smooth, sbapely shoulders and
arms; her light, untrammeled step; the
datnp, natural rings OF hair clustering
around forehead and neck, made a
charming ensemble. Alas, when | saw
the same young woman after bath hours
she was ordinary In the extreme. Any
one skeptical about natures triumph
over art should see a bath attendant In
working rear and then with the add
tion OF high heeled shoes, tied back
skirts, bang and tip tilted hat. The DIFF
ference Is pathetic.
She took my check. gave me a sheet.
and led the way TO one of the compart-
ments lining the hall. These rooms"
so called by way OF courtesy, are little
more than closets, each furnished with
q roomy, elder down conch, q Turkish
table and mirror. Curtains on brass
rods divide them. For this reason, as i
soon discovered, compensation between
intimates from room TO room, unless
carried on In q very low tone, can be
heard by nearly everybody else. Before
1 left the bath l had overheard so many
bits of toothsome gossip, so many char
acters torn to bits, so many fads dis
cussed, that I was q bowling success at
a S o'clock tea afterward.
The place was very hot. and IL was
delightful TO lay aside the fripperies
which our modern civilization has de-
creed that no properly dressed woman
can do without. and wrapped only In .
cool, lavender scented sheet hurry down
the hall to penetrate the mystery OF the
steam-room. As / opened the glass door,
blurred with mist, a medley OF sounds

accents, ordinations, laughter, groans
