Algernon Ferkenhntn hnd for n Ioiir, long time, loved Alice it'Oraiiy fervnt ly almost mndly; hut she hnd not nccincil to return Ills passion with the enthusiasm that he could have wished. As a mutter of fact, he hnd nlvvnys Beemcd to become Intensely Interested In horses or koIC or the latest novel whenever ho hnd begun to verge upon the subject of love. This hnd disagreed with his dig stlon. nnd. consequently, the spirits nf Mr. I'erkenhntn. He quit hnngliiR around the stnge doors; cared nothing for the stories that wete told at his club, and aroused the anxiety of his mother. One day he got hold o? a hook lu which he read that the purest way to win a woman's love vvns to appear In different to her: to treat her us If she were unworthy of being taken serious ly, and to dispute everything that she snld. Algtrnnn lVikenhuin's heart gave n mighty leap when ho read this. Inso much that his tonsils were almost knocked from their foundations. "I'll begin tonight," he snld to him self. "I'll make her think that I look upon her as the dust beneath my feet; I'll paralyze her!" So, that evening he called at the rt'Orsny palnce, for, uk he told his ft lends, he "had the ongtiny "there," the I'erkenhams nnd the d'Orsays be ing mutually Interest d In the stock yaids business. The btnutlful girl swept Into the liavvlng room after the young man hud walled half nn hour and exclaimed: "Oh. good evening. .Mr. I'erkonhnm. I'm so glad to see you. It's a beauti ful evening. Isn't It?" He threw one leg over the other, yawned, und replied: "(ih, I dunno. It ain't so warm." "Watm?" nhe teplled In some slli Diise. "No, It Isn't too vvniin. It's Just nice." "Think so? Seems bently to ni"." "Why," Miss d'Orsay said, as she sat down in a chair that was plenty large enough for two, "you seem to have a grudge against the world this evening. I hope It is not because I had to keep you waiting? I assure you, I couldn't help " "Oh!" he Interrupted, "don't worry I about that. I haven't any kick coinln' against the world. Never felt inon cheerful In my life. Fast. Is, I felt so good 1 can hardly keep from whoopln' light out. As for your kcepln' me wnltln', I didn't mind.

I mtppose that Is tho reason we have not had the pilvl lege of seeing much of you lately " "Some folks seem to be mightily In terested In tl) state of my health," he teplied. maintaining his devll-ma-caie expression with some dlineulty. for his lmpul.se was to tluow himself nt the sweet maiden's feet nnd tell her that he could not live without her love. "My health' has never been better'n It lins befti lately," he went on. "The rea son I haven't called here very often Is that I've hnd other engagements. I broke several pressln' ones Just to come around this evening, for I s'posed ( you'd think It strange If 1 stayed away any longer, and I wouldn't have you worry nbout me for anything.

A moment Inter the butler, who weighed 1S7 pounds, nnd had big (lists with long tufts of half on them, ap pealed In the doorway and said: "Miss d'Orsay Fays to tuin youse out, nnd tell youse dat If youse ever come uround hole vvld uiihltdder Jag she'll have youse tun In."

It i common to associate profuse perspiration with dcbilitv. and to imagine it to be weakening to the system. ' This is a mistake. Perspiration produced bv passive means cannot be weakening. I ravelers re- sort to the baths for refreshment and invigoration. I'erspiration drams away no living tissue, uui iueiei poisonous matter that is highly injurious to the sys tem, and in the loss of which the bather is the gainer in tnanv wa s. Tlie baths are endorsed by the most eminent clergymen aud physicians, the press and public, to be the greatest relief and cure for all bodily ailments. 'The fremieiicv with which the bath nia be tal;- t en depends on the'object in view. For those in health. once a week may be sulhcient. lor invalids, tne ue quencv must be" regulated by a medical advisor who understands the effects and p'roper application. Thus, important a it is. it is a great and powerful remedial agency requiring care and judgment. Telephone Service. The necessity of having a telephone in the bath parlors was a long felt want, and lias been a source of great pleasure to my patrons. It very often occurs that some of our patrons desire to communicate to dif ferent parts of the citv, and to meet this demand we 4- have placed a telephone at their disposal. s j$ Effects of the Bath Description of the Bath V3 ' 'ft '"2 la J6 Its first physiological effect is to perfect the re spiratory function of the skin to give a living and healthy cuticle. The skin is thus fitted for imbibing the oxygen of the atmosphere, throwing off the car bon from the blood. Two most important processes when we consider that the skin is provided with no less than seven million pores designed to assist the several secretive organs in discharging refuse matter from the system. Sonic idea can be formed of the importance of keeping it in a perfect state. To a per son liable to take colds from exposure to slight draughts, the feeling of defiance to co-Id imparted bv the baths is one of the most striking results. The hab itual use of these baths rcmedv this, giving at the same time beauty to the skin, arid health to the both . -f The baths; are composed of one of the finest cool ing rooms in the state, every attention having been paid to proper ventilation. The lower floor compris ing the Russian, Turkish and Roman Maths. Togeth er with the Electric and other scientific treatments so highly recommended by the Physicians. All that can has been done to secure the comfort of the patron, and the visitor is assured of the utmost privacy. An inspection of the baths is desired by the proprietor in order to appreciate the advantages to be gained by frequenting them. f f -f SV -f -f The baths are constructed on a system which combines complete ventilation with the highest avail able temperature, whether sought as a luxury or the alleviation of pain, must satisfy the most sanguine ex pectations. To those who are in the habit of using these baths, they know the beneficial effects the re ceive from them, and use their influence in getting others to go and do likewise. It is to those that have never enjoyed the pleasure aud benefit that we must give our attention. We are often asked In those who have never enjoyed the luxury of these baths; Will it hurt us? Docs it weaken a person? What dnca it do? Such questions to the proprietor seem ridicul ous. Yet it should not be so when we reflect how lit tle is generally known of the baths in this country, and especially by those whevhave no had the time anil opportunity to avail themselves of the same. y e; WftMfWWMMWWWWtMM
