letter vigorously defending the rules.

ready to attack men, in public. still

respect for the law while he appa-

As to the criticism Mr.. Higgins
makes OF the rules and the admins

need but say. his letter shows he
knows nothing of what he writes.
That will be evident to any one who
has ever studied the rules or OBJ

Miss Victoria Harrell, one of the
most prominent society girls in this
city, and who Is well known in mu-
steal circles in this city, Little Rock
and Memphis. recently sustained the
loss of a $50 basket hat because the
piece of headgear so much resembled
a pot of flowers Miss Harrell sang
at fashionable wedding in this city
several nights ago and hurriedly re-
turned home to enjoy an auto ride
with friends. When she reached her
residence on w. 9Th avenue, the party
was in waiting and Miss Harrell
placed her hat over a jardiniere in
which were some small ferns and
which was hidden from view in a cor
ner OF the front porch. After Miss
Harrel rode away with her friends
her mother, Mrs. c. F. Coe, came out
of the house and proceeded to sprinkle
the flowers. OF course the covered
jardiniere came in for share of the
"wetness." and when Miss Harrel re-
turned she found the hat and its cost
ly trimmings wilted and ruined.-Pine

This is quite untrue" says the
and vigorous men among the habitants
of Canada who have never taken full
bath in their lives. Were the truth
known many thousands of our fellow
citizens probably know nothing of the
alleged benefits of the tub. though
maintaining excellent average health.
Such people do not present the
fresh and pleasing appearance of the
frequent bather. however long lived
they may be. Is not however, much Of
the benefit attributed to the water in
reality due to the complete exposure of
the skin to the air?
The respiratory function of the
skin Is of high Importance, and al
though water may be dispensed with
closing the pores to air would result
in speedy asphyxiation. The historic
instance of the boy who impersonated
John the Baptist in a medieval pro-
with gold leaf with rapidly fatal re-
suits is proof.
The ice cold bath is supersti-
ton; 1t is a pastime for the abnormal
ly vigorous, not desirable for the aver
age civilized man. A bath not too
cold is really an agreeable stimrlant
as we'll as being a luxury. The feeling
of we'll being after bath can hardly
be obtained in any other way, and the
rapid multiplication OF tubs in hotels
and private residences, soon to ap-
proach one to the individual, shows
how they are appreciated.
Unhappy persons, however, whose
travels in the provinces or into the
desert may temporarily deprive them
of sufficient water for bathing may
find substitute that will at least
afford a part of their accustomed en-
joyment. The body may be energetic
ally rubbed with a brush or coarse
Turkish towel and afterward exposed
to the air for fifteen minutes or so.
The accustomed feeling of vigor will
follow and the process will be found
by the uninitiated to be astonishingly
