EAGER TO GET WEEKLY BATH

English Millionaire Proud of Gorgeous Lavatory in Hi* Elegant Mansion. London.—" Apropos of personal elegance and cleanliness,” so "M. A. P.” has related in the evident effort to relieve the holiday pressure, “one is reminded of the story of a certain self-made millionaire who built for himself a gorgeous mansion not far from Hyde Park corner, the wonders of which were talked of far and wide and so excited curiosity that a certain member of royalty expressed his desire to see the inside. “Very flattered and gratified, the proud owner showed the guest all that there was to be seen—leaving the wonderful bathroom until the end. Everything here was as near perfection as possible. Rare marble had been used for the floor, the walls were lined with panels of precious stones and a wonderful flight of stairs with a crystal balustrade led down to the bath Itself. The royal visitor showed his admiration generously. “Yes,” said the host, “the man who designed It knew what he was about, didn’t he. Do you wonder, your royal bigness, that I look forward to Saturday nights’” -
