CITY BATHS CLOSED.
Cold Weather Caused Step Are Menace to
Public Health, II Is Said.

The cool weather caused the closing OF
the public baths at Washington bridge,
Saturday night and according to the rec
ords. 245S9 people have bathed there
since July II OF which 36s3 were females.
Mr.. Hiscox, the keeper says: "As re-
CARDS these houses, they are not it for
anyone TO use for bathing purposes, for
in the first place they are inadequate In
structure and In facilities for bathing.
They are water-logged. and. in the case
of the Washington bridge house. it is nee
essary to pump the water out at least
twice day.
The fact that a boy warned Mrs. Can
ming that the house was sinking alone
saved her from danger. as she could not
have noticed the calamity until IL would
have been too late 10 extricate herself
with safety.
Another thing about the building Is
that the hoorings are OF matched boards
and after the bathers come on the floor
after being in the water the floor becomes
filled with little puddes which are a men
ace TO those walking about. for one is
apt TO slip, and In the case OF the boys
running about here they often take tum-
bles which, although they have not as
yet resulted seriously, might do so.
when people complain of the location
Of the houses and the class TO visit them
they are right. for the boys who come
here are of the toughest sort They are.
for the most part, Portuguese, Canucks
and Irish, and all they want to do is to
fight. Fights are going on continually.
and sometimes I have seen the boys,
though nothing OF this kind Is tolerated
inside. go outside on the wharf and draw
ring and hold regular fights.
ITO demonstrate how rough they are
and how they are held I'm fear by other
boys In the city. / have found that the
newsboys who last year used TO come 10
the Red Bridge house In large numbers,
actually are afraid to come here. for ev-
cry time they do the boys who live about
here fight them. The newsboys and boot
bla cks being nearly all Hebrews and
Italians, will not be tolerated They are
very hard TO manage. yet 1 have them
fairly we'll under control.
The only way that the people can bet
ter these conditions is 10 have n swim
ming tank in some other part of the city
which can he used the year round. This
place here is n menace to health because
OF its proximity TO the sewer and the fact
that these houses are waterlogged
causes them to be danger to those who
come here"

TAKES PLACE OF A
CORSET COVER.
This takes the place of a corset cover
and guarantees a smart, trim look to the
fareiest and fullest oe summer waists.
Waists that are almost solid with fine
tucks and lace insertion are one of the
richest of this season novelties. The lovely
modes of this description are shown in the
illustration. One is tucked and trimmed to
bring about the low, straight-yoke effect.
The pouch has lace trimming that marks
II off In squares and in the squares are ap-
plidued embroidery medallions. The sleeves

wristbands are of lace insertion only. The
stock Is featherboned.
The second design Is tucked eoldly from
neck tc belt but cut out under the bands of
lace insertion that form a smart trimming.
An embroidery butterfly inset in the center
of the front is a startling and artistic touch
to this waist.
The sleeves are tucked to the elbow and
then left very full and lace-trimmed to the
wrist. The first waist would be especially
becoming to slender schoolgirls and the
second Is designed for women with full
figures who can stand the palmer effects.

The front has three group, OF fine tucks

ARTISTIC BITS OF
FINE DRAWN WORK.
Plain linen bands Of fancy colored turn
overs have been in vogue for some time.
but these filmy artistic bits of fine drawn
work are a new and artistic fashion fad that
renders the simplest frock smart and the
plainest waist becoming.
There are dozens Of different designs in
the hand-drawn collars and cuffs, some
hardly more than elaborate hemstitching in
effect and others SO rich in detail as to
rival the most expensive laces
In shape there Is an infinite variety from
straight bands to vandyke points, not for
getting the fashionable stole front carry

sets are invariably drawn on durable mate

yet are equally good taste for short-waist

so to the business woman who has grown
tired of daily amputation from a stiff linen
collar. yet Graves the dainty freshness OF

And as a rule, this .openwork lacy effect
Is more becoming than the dead white Of
the conventional stin collar. In fact. many
women prefer these soft bands to the
starched collars even with the business
shirt waist. and wear them over stocks or
