Luxurious In this.

From Harper'S Bazar.
1t is only within recent years that Amert-
cans have begun to make the elaborate
prepare lions for outdoor and indoor bath
ing which distinguishes the domestic
Architecture Of to-day. For instance, there
is no suggestion of a bathroom at Noun,
Vernon or In any old colonial mansion.
And yet il used to be the boast of Ameri-
cans that 1t was easier to get a bath in
this country than abroad.
Nothing In the way of a bath tub ever
seems more enticing than one sunk into
the floor, an6-which one can move about.
The baths of the Pompeiians were of this
kind. and so were those in Granada. One
of the rich women of Europe has a carved
seasheIl for her bathtub sunk into the
floor. This floor is of alabaster and heat
ed by concealed pipes, so that there is
never any possibility of chill to the feet.
Her tub is cut to represent a sea shell and
golden faucets, shaped like swans heads,
supply the bath.
Few or none of our town houses permit
such luxury in space. We are no longer
content with one bathroom for the family,
or even a bathroom on every floor Each
individual must now possess his or her
own and the guest never be permitted to
skip a hurried way down the hall in search
of a tub. In the matter OF appointments,
too, many changes have taken place. The
tub and the basin no longer complete the
arrangements There must be the show
er, the sitz and the foot tub as well-each
of porcelain and each with its nickel
plated pipes. AS much thought is given
to its color scheme and decoration as 10
any other room in the house. Thus one
has bathroom with white tiled floor and
dado. On one side of the room the dado
disappears and mirrors paneled in gilt
empire frames come down to the floor. A
pale pink stained glass fills the windows,
which are draped with curtains of apple
green taffeta. The faucets are gilded.
Bathrooms are no longer built of wood.
The plumbing Is always open. Neither is
the clothes basket any longer kept there,
nor are liberties taken with it which would
not be permitted IN any other part OF a
well-appointed house. The room Is kept
with most scrupulous care, every pipe be-
ing made to shine like the silver on ones
table. Besides the permanent rug on the
floor there must be cork mats or Turkish
toweling, which the maid removes after
each bath. The sponses and soap are
kept IN silver racks or on decorated porce-
lain dishes. open ireplaees are built,
chairs or marble seats provided and per-
fumes, powders, nail files and the rest ar
ranged In out glass or silver, are never

REAL WHITE TRASH.
The Suuaw-man who Marries an In
dian Woman for Her Land.

dian Woman for Her Land.
From Ainsiee's Magazine
There is social problem which has
long been a source of apprehension to the
Indians, and which, among the other
tribes, as well as among the Cherokees,
has undoubtedly had much to do with the
pressure upon the United States to de-
clare territorial form of government.
This Is the intermarriage of white men
into the tribes for no other purpose than
to share in the lands and funds of the
nations
The lands of the IndlaSs are rich NOT
only for agricultural production. but also
in oil and coal, and the greed of the
white men (or the enterprise of the in
dustrial pioneer, If the milder epithet be
preferred) has found 1t impossible to abb
stain from exploiting such possibilities.
AS the land has been the property of the
Indians, and as the Indian has no power
to transfer title, the only alternative for
the eXploiters has been to marry into the
tribes and acquire community property
rights. Before the tribal rolls We're fin
ished these marriages were far more COM
mon than they are now. Then each man,
as soon as he became the husband of an
Indian woman, became a member of the
tribe, and shared equally with his wife
and every other citizen of the nation.
ITO prevent these. marriages, of which
there have been thousands, some of the
tribes adopted laws. fixing the marriage
license fees beyond the reach of the adj
venturers and scalawags who were ready
TO marry squaws to become sharers in the
lands. The Cherokee Council fixed the
marriage license a $500, and while the law
was in force only one alien white man
took out a marriage license. The Chicka-
saws undertook to pass a law fixing the
fee at 81 900, where one or the other was
AM alien, but the bill failed of passage
in the Council. The enrolment of the tri-
bal members served to check the demand
for Indian wives, and marriages of full
blooded squaws to white men are not OF
frequent occurrence now.
1.-The Ketowah Society exerted its influ-
ence against these marriages, and drove
many bride hunters out of the territory.
The Indians themselves realized that the
white men who came to marry their wo-
men were not of a class to uplift the
tribe. The squaw man, or white husband,
of a full-blood woman is held in no re-
gard either by the full bloods themselves
or by the better element of the Chero-
KEGS"
