sional beauty, was sued Iy a New
York dairylnan for the cost OF some
three hundred quarts of milk which
she had ordered for bathing pur-
poses, New York society has be-
eome convinced that the milk bath
is a great beautifier, and now a
philonthropist has come forward
with plan to establish a place
where this luxury can be obtained
by whomsoever has the price to pay
forgit. He is a wealthy man, and
is going to realize his plan on an
elaborate scale. On the first floor
of the building he has secured on
34th street the apartments fer
gentlemen will be located just
off from the entrance will be o
smoking room, back of it will be
cafe, and in the extreme rear will
be the baths The two floors above
will he devoted to ladies. The
hath apart.neut will consist of two
rooms. The tub alcove will be
tiled and walled with white marble.
Adjoining will be oozy little
sleeping-room, with luxurious
diyans, mirrors, and all the acces
sories of milady's toilet. The ladies
will also have their smoking room,
where they tan sit swathed in
sheets and puff away at fragrant
Oriental cigarette. The luxury,
however, will be only for the rich.
The tubs will hold about seventy
quarts of milk, and at the tnrrent
price this item alone foots up to
three dollars and Gfty cents. Then
there will he other incidcntals
which will run the bill up to very
near the ten dollar mark. For
those who desire to spend even
more money on this sybaritic
luxury, the proprietor proposes to
construct on the second and third
floors two large pools. with a capa-
city sufficient to .;ermit swimming
and floating. These tanks will be
rented out to parties who desire to
give social function in milk.

Now let us look into this thing,
as the man said when he fell into
the we'll, and go back to the be-
ginning. "In the beginning God
created the heavens and the earth.
Then we read in the Good Book
that He rested on the seventh day !.
Then the Lord tlod made man "of
the dust Of the ground i" And
then he rested again. And then
the Lord God "planted garden
eastward in Eden, and there He
put the man whom he had formed. :"
And then the Lord God rested
again. And l hope it was good
long rest, For the next thing the
Lord God made was woman. And
[ search the Bible in vain FOR any
word or sign that the Lord God
or maa either-ever rested after
that woman was made
A Irritation and 4 fig leaf. AS
the doctors say, "there has been
marked change And how many
leaves of other trees do you sup
pose she tried on before she found
the fig leaf to tit her !? Fancy the
late Mr.. Adam coming home from
down town in crowded street car,
and Eve rushing in upon him with
her arms full of leaves, and she
making him swing his heavy frame
to greasy strap, while she nursed
her 6g leaves and firted right and
left with the simpering clerks |
What would l do if | we're
woman! I would quit fooling with
fig leaves. I would dress up once
modestIy, tastily, with great regard
for health and comfort aud come
illness, and then / would rise up
and try to do something else be-
fore the Day of Judgment. For
this fig leaf business has lasted
long enough. The very first thing
laid down within the lids Of the
Biole, after the chronicle of crea-
ton, is this fuss and trouble about
women's dress. For on the very
next page we find Eve still unsatis--
fed about the cut and quality of
her fg-leaf dress, and we read that
"Unto Adam also and to his wife
did the Lord God make coats Of
skins and clothed them"
Next after [ had given the clerks
a rest and stopped running to the
stores, I would try to stop talking
so much and let the world rest
mentally a little, as well as phys
ically.
My. oh my! If woman only
could learn how to keep quiet in
word and deed and dress, what a
dominion would be hers All the
ships we sail are for her; the gold
and diamonds shat we dig, the
deepest ruins we explore, the lands
we discover and subdue, the bat
ties that we fight, whore brother
goes down to death against brother
all, all for woman! Yet here
she goes galloping up and down,
street car and store, store and
street car, the same garrulous par
rot as when she was the first to
speak to the serpent; the first to
open her sweet mouth and to eat
of the forbidden fruit Fig leaves
