NO BATHS FOR WOMEN.
No baths for women!

No baths for womeni
Bathing is not right, but a priv
ilege.
Baths for wome would only dou-
bic the bathing.
1t would also double the expense;
twice as much water, twice as many
towels, twice as much soap.
A great many women don't want to

men at the beaches? If women want

ing their hands and faces oftener
than they do.
Why cannot man represent woman
at the bath?
A good mother has no time for
bathing. Women should be mothers.
not mermaids. 1t would consume too
much of their time also from their
housekeeping.

The husband is stronger and could
get the tub if he wanted it. The
plumber is stronger and could refuse
to carry out orders.
Men by nature are coarse and
sturdy and can stand baths, which
would injure the delicate sensitive
fiber of women. Men exercise more
than women and get warmer, follow
all the active pursuits and golf. and
they need baths Women only do
housekeeping and stand over stoves;
they do not need baths. Baths would
wash off their bloom.
Only in a comparatively small re-
gion Of the world, where there are
advanced, improved ideas, do the
women take baths.

Long years ago Sherlock Holmes ran
down a miscreant who had stolen
