blades, with a small cutting area about
an inch long. situated in such a way
that Il cannot be used except for the

Real Nice Bathing.

1t may be doubted if a tub bath in
Jamaica is Il luxury. The lighthouses
make a brave show in n row of low
brick buildings in the rear of the ho-
tells, each little house with a big stone
tank for q bathtub.
l went out to see the baths on my
first day in Kingston and was surpris-
ed to see q sign nailed against the wall
bearing the words:
Gentlemen Are Requested Not to
Use Soap In the Baths"
why are gentlemen requested not 10
use soap in the baths?" asked the ho-
tel clerk, n dignified young woman of
dark complexion.
Because it soils the water and makes
it unpleasant for the next bather," she
said.
But do your guests all bathe in the
same water" l asked.
''Oh, yes" she replied. "You see, the
tanks are so large and the pipes are
small. 1t takes all night to fill the
tanks, and the water has to last all
day."
