IncixiIitx of New York.

While not new by any means, the opinion expressed by a wealthy Eng lishman regarding the treatment of the stranger who wanders within the gates of New York is decidedly inter- esting. It also confirms once more the opinion which the ordinary man holds concerning that city. Besides other things. this man, notwithstanding the fact that he was paying $6 day for his room in the hotel, was not permit ted to enter the cafe on New Years eve in order merely to look around and see how the night was spent in onS of these great eating palaces.
 The argument may be advanced that this stranger is a carping critic, but nevertheless he certainly N has just grounds for his feeling of indignation if his treatment conformed in any de- gree to that usually delt out to stran- gers It should be a pleasing reflec- ton to PhiIadelphians that he came to this city to receive treatment usu- ally accorded to gentlemen and that, judging from the manner in which he expressed himself, he has not been disappointed.

LIVE GLOSSY HAIR
 ON HEALTHY SCALPS

In preserv- ing, purifying and beautifying the skin, in preventing minor erup- tions from becoming chronic and in the treatment of torturing, dis figuring humors, rashes, itchings and infammations, from infancy to age, these pure, sweet and gentle emoHients have no rivals.
