Experience Of = Lady Visitor to . Little
Seaside Town.
l recently heard good story in the
west of Ireland. 1t concerns the rising
little seaside town of Lahinch, place
which has recently developed tremen-
dously through the tourist ana golf
looms. A few years ago the public
the village, were very primitive. They
were situated in little cottage,
which was just above the high-water
mark. Shower baths were specially,
and they were to be had in room
which had a bathtub placed in the
middle of the floor. On pulling
string a perfect deluge Of bracing sea
water came through the ceiling.
A lady visitor once stood ready N
the tub and gave the dread signal.
But instead OF the usual avalanche OF
green water there came from aloft tie
gruff voice of the fisherman-proprie-
tor Of the baths. If yell move

the voice, yell get the full benefit Of
the shower" Looking up, she. to her
horror, deserted the old fisherman

lady moved to the west and received
the shower or not, the chronicler does
not relate But Lahincn has made
