Four Dollars for a Cake Of Soap.

Soap has never been considered an
extravaganza. but now that notion
may change. since the new French
imported soaps are costing from two
to three and four dollars a cake. They
are. however. deliciously scented. and
one may take pardonable pleasure in
using such toilet article. Each cake
comes in a little box. and Is satin
