Show A Bnth la Washington. Probably Washington is the only civilized civil-ized place in the world where it comes within the limits of etiquette to ask a visitor to take a bath; yet many a congressman con-gressman crowns his politeness to a constituent con-stituent by offering him a ticket of admittance ad-mittance to the marble pools in the basement base-ment of tlie Capitol. Of course, when an immersion would, for obvious reasons, be of the most benefit, the statesman wisely refrains from an invitation partaking par-taking too much of the suggestive. Af a rule, the curiosity of the visitor impelf him to take advantage of an opportunity to see the luxurious appointments that keep our national politics clean. New York Press "Every Day Talk." |
