Show A Unth Iu DubblcH. "To tnke a batli at Tlflis, in Russian Caucnsln, Is to court a never to be forgotten for-gotten experience," says ono who knows. "The masseur who presides over tho toilet of his pntrons Is n weird looking figure. Uls head Is shaved, a rag Is twisted nround his waist, and his feet aro dyed a beautiful red. You arc seized by this Individual, .rubbed, pushed face downward on a marble slab, And his feet In your spine and his hands upon your shoulders. Then he grinds bis feet up and down your back. Thoy nro round your neck, on your head everywhere! Then ho vaults lightly off, nnd In a moment, from a linen bag filled with soap, ho has squeezed clouds of perfumed bubbles, bub-bles, nnd you nre hidden In them from head to foot us completely ns If you had fallen Into a snowdrift You nro not absolutely bruised, but you aro clean."
