Incidentally it might be said that tattoo
ing In London was, until year or so ago,
not only fad, but mania. The best Gus
toners of the professional tattooer were
women. 1t was not and is not today un
common for lady In London to have her
lips tattooed red. Other ladies', whose eye
brows were thin, had the skin beneath the
hair slightly dRrkened by the tattooer. 1t
is quite common in England to have the
initials Of an infant tsttooed on the arm.
A London undertokey put the fad to very
unique use. He ooiored the lips of corpses
with great success.--Philadelph Press.
