Geneva. Aug. 21.-The Italian
Monte Carlo at Campeone, with
its large Casino on Lake Lu-
gsno, has been closed by order
of the Italian government, and
its proprietor, Signor Bacco, is
in despair, as the expensive
white elephant finds no buyers.
1t is reported that Bacco made
a profit of 100000 during the
eight months that the gambling
place was open, the chief con-
tributors to this fortune being
Austrian archdukes and arch
duchesses and German princes
and princesses and their aris-
tocratic suites.
A still bigger misfortune, how
ever, has befallen Bacco. His
beautiful young Italian wife has
eloped with a handsome Italian
dancer engaged at the Casino,
taking with her all her jeweIry.

Bacco is now spending money
freely in long kilograms to the
police OF every European prtn-
cipal port, giving a full descrip-
tion of his wife, her lover and
her valuables. He believes the
couple are bound for America.
He does not demand the ar
rest of his wife, but simply the
return of his" Jewels, adding
that his wife can go to the

London, Aug. 21.-The recent
criticism Of mixed bathing that 1t
stopped more marriages than any
other cause finds, curiously enough
in these days Of broader views, a
certain number Of supporters.
The popularity Of mixed bathing
proves a reactionary attitude
against two Of the deadliest moral
poisons in our society, namely pru-
derry and prurience.
All aesthetic perception OF the
human body, which has always been
regarded by morally educated peo-
pIs as beautiful and marvellous, Is
one Of the chief safeguards Of pur-
itv. The appreciation for whatso-
ever things that are beautiful has
a purifying effect, and the dread OF
civilized mankind of the human
bodv has always been accompanied
by grave neglect of hygiene i'm
morality and grossness.
CIothe. Not Modesty.
The mere putting on of aPparei
Is not always an expression Of in
h.rent modesty. Travellers in saw
age lands have repeatedly testified
that immodesty among primitive
-. i,--ssses with the art of
adornment, and that the conven-
tional and original scanty attire Is
nraseryed BY those who wish TO De
considered modest.
ANYTHING that tends to promote
re-. bsaIthier state Of mind concern
inr the body lessons the disastrous
influence of prurience and prudeFy'
What Is Admired Isn't Hurt.
The simple and charming pictures
of girls bathing and dancing on the
seashOre which appear almost daily
in the newspapers indicate that we,
as a people, are awakening 10 the
fact that the human form divine
is actually beautiful. And it is be-
vond dispute that we shrink from
injuring that which We admire and
respect.
The mixed bathing cult is a
means of refining public morals and
not. as the unthinking and unIn-
quiring imagine, an incentive to
vice.
