3 the BATHS OF NEW YORK. GOTHAMITES BID FAIR TO RIVAL THE ancient romans. Splendid and Costly Baths Rapidly ' Multiply Throughout the City—Where the Pretty Society Women go to Take a Merry Swim. Sew York, July 16.—“ Me tub is me sec ond self,” a well-known lawyer said in the Hoffmm 1 house the other night, “and one reason why I don’t leave New York and go with my family to the mountains is simply I cannot enjoy my bath as Ido in town. I bathe in ice cold water all the year round, and I have never had a coid or a sore throat since I began the practice. In the country a man can never get a good bath when lie wants it—before breakfast—and so be begins the day wrong.” The bath has almost grown to the pro portions of a fnd in New York. Apartments without ft bathroom are not to be thought of and tubs are distributed through the hotels in a fashion that would gratify the spirit of the ancient Romans. Everywhere thp hath is the principal subject of talk in renting flats or houses. Many a private resi dence in New York is embellished with a bathroom that is modeled on the famous oue in the Vanderbilt I bad the pleas ure the other day of looking over the cuts that have been prepared for an article on this subject for one of the magazines. The article will probably appear within fifteen rears. There were twelve photographs of the bathrooms iu the houses of prominent >‘e\v Yorkers. Most of them were apart ments ten to fourteen feet square, with the wails and ceilings of marble or porcelain tiles, and the floor a more or less expensive mosaic. Light was admitted through stained glass windows, and the bath proper was a plunge four or five feet deep, and as many feet square, surrounded by a bronze railing- Marble steps led down from dif ferent sides,and the arrangements of faucets, showers, etc., were modeled on classical originals. Several of these bathrooms re present in themselves an outlay of thousands of dollars, and they put the primeval tub to the blush. HOT WEATHER COMFORT Baths are building everywhere around town. A new one, which will soon be thrown open, is under the Produce Ex change, and it is in many respects one of the most costly bathing places in the world. Several hundred thousand dollars have al ready been spent on it. Salt water is car ried directly from the, bay and is kept run ning through the bath constantly. There are rooms where thirty attendants are at baud to scrub, rub, douse with alcohol the festive bathers. The main tank is sixty feet one way by fifty feet the other, and runs in depth from five'to nine feet. All along the water front, both in the East and North river, the public baths are now open, and in many places there are baths established as business ventures in competition to them. Baths of this descrip tion are made of wood, and are nothing more or less than huge hollow' squares with a floor grating that keeps the bathers from going too deep. They are floated near some pier, and bathing suits, together with the privilege of swimming for an hour, cost from 15c. to 35c. All sorts and conditions of .men, bovs and children attend them. Certain hours are set aside for the bathers of the gentler sex They are forced to wear suits of a regulation pattern, and it is neces sary to be very strict in the matter, for the women are proverbially careless about con cealing their charms when men are not about. Some of them swim in a fashion that would astonish the professionals, and they dive off the railings and play all sorts of pranks with each other, precisely as school boys do. I remember once having a look at a bath when it was occupied exclusively by women. A man was going to buy the place and I went with him to look at it. He went i wrui nim to iook at it. tie went over the establishment while I stared at the bathers with unremitting industry. It was la one of the poor wards of the town, and fflost of the girls were factory operatives and shop employes. Many of them had brought old calico wrappers with them to sene as bathing suits, but the restrictions °f the batli wogjd not permit this, and they were forced to wear more suitable costumes, bus display of magnificently proportioned agures and graceful outlines would have driven Fifth avenue mad with envy. A oath that caused a great deal of talk in Aew York at one time was at the foot of tsst One Hundred and Sixteenth street, biere was a beach there and an enormous rattling pavilion, with accommodations for p'f'ral hundred people. The water was iffquented nhno6t altogether by women, "it the balconies that commanded a view of the beach were thronged con stantly Viy men. The proper restrictions ere not observed as to costumes, and many 1 them were exceedingly risky. It was luring two summers the fashion among men "go up there and look at the pretty Har t!m. f lr ' s at their bath. Everybody saw at it would only be a question of time “ en the outbreak came. It arrived with , I be proprietor was arrested on the 'mpiamt of several of the parents of small r r*’ ' mass of unsavory details exposed jJt,. “® beach abandoned.

There ure now °f Fifth avenue several bath larg,, cmti tnen t ß ' v liieh represent, a very f**tr<>nb,.!i y ,°f capital, and which are ° n by F eopln of highsowa l a, utc an J‘ \ One of them is in charge of an that he uni P ' vr * hlwcde, who says openly Pton!.-,' allow any “middle class K* place. on, ‘ SIV 5 IV ,ir uch an ything ’’ be said to me *r • ruH7 np ? fied,y ’ is not of the kit of \ pll V ‘ instruct the aristocratic poo- ork how to swim; I will not a nd" with th humbler ele nnr?i? f h S town - ! hisis Partially because f like it, and partially because a bath that exclusively for the best class of society "ill be liberally patronized. My place oc cupies four city lots, for which I paid $*5,000 before I began to build. The expanses are 2 ‘ ar £e, as it is necessary to keep the pool warm enough in winter to admit of taste* ’ alld ad °* l he accessories are iu good This was true to an eminent degree, r. vers thing that the water touched was marble or silver, and the dressing rooms were models of comfort and elegance, illustrated magazines and papers were scat tered about the reading rooms, and the at tendants were all in showy uniforms. There were perhaps half a dozen ladies swimming at the time. They wore very light and close fitting bathing suits, and their instructors were women. One of the swimmers was a society lady whose face has been familiar to i n V * orkers at the opera and fashionable balls for several seasons. She is a dainty little woman with a face as delicate as a cameo, and she has a soft voice and a gentle manner. She reminds one of a nun, she is 80 quiet and demure. The day that I glanced into the bath she was just emerging from her dressing room. Her trim figure was clad in a single garment that looked as though it might have been made of Turkish toweling. She pattered down the walk on a run, scudded up the steps to a springboard five or six feet above the water, poised her self on the end a moment and then sprang in the air like a bird and dived out of sight. Presently she came to the surface of the water ten or fifteen feet beyond, and went splashing hand over hand to the stepis. Once there she scrambled to the walk again and rep>eated her dive with a shriek of exulta tion that could be heard all over the build ing. She was as wild, untrammeled and venturesome as a street arab on an east side dock. Many of the crack croquet, badmin ton and polo playing girls swim regularly at these baths. They have learned that it develops the muscles, increases the color in their cheeks, and adds to their buoyancy, courage and spirits. Most of them are as reckless as dock rats in the water, though as proper as Quakeresses on laud. Many of them would doubtless repeat with my friend the lawyer, “me tub is me second self.” Blakely Hall AN UNHAPPY ACTRESS. Her Little Scheme Miscarried—Mans field’s New Play. New 7 York, July 16.—A few nights ago an ambitious and clever woman, who had just made her New York appearance upon the stage, was observed to stare up the aisle with more or less anxiety as the curtain descend ed on the second act. The apprehension was noticed by the people on the stage. After the curtain had fallen, she peeped through and wrung her hands a moment before going to her dressing room. Then she hurried away. A moment later a placid usher wandered down the aisle with a large bouquet to which was attached a small parcel. He handed it to the musical conductor, and that gentle man, being in a somewhat somnolent condi tion, read the name of the actress for whom it w 7 as designed and placed it between bis feet with the idea of tossing it to her during the following act. Later he accidentally kicked the bouquet out of sight under his desk and forgot all about it. The perturbation and tension of the actress in the last act excited unusual attention. The curtain fell, the audience dispersed, and then the actress rushed to the orchestra leader, assembled the ushers and cried fran tically : “Where is my bouquet?” “I sent it down the aisle,” said the usher contritely, “and you must ’uv got it.” “Well,'l didn’t get it,” said the actress tearfully, “and there was a diamond ring in it too. Whom did you give it to?” “The leader.” They turned excitedly to the knight of the baton, and he rubbed bis head earnestly and tried to recollect what he had doho with it. He failed. Then they began a search of the house and stage. It was an awful position. Paragraphs have been sent down town to the newspaper officers to the effect that a millionaire admirer had sent Miss What-d’ye-eall-her a bouquet, and that nestling among the roses she found a $3,000 diauMiid, etc., etc. Meanwhile, the only diamond that the lady posseseed was miss ing from her finger, and the suspicion of the real condition of affairs got abroad. I am afraid there were gibes and cheers, and I know there was an immense amount of ex citement; but it ended well, for at 3 o’clock in the morning the lady found her bouquet and her diamond, and, being of an amiable disposition, she took the ushers and the con trite leader of the orchestra with her to a Bohemian supper around the corner. They were all pledged to inviolate secrecy—anci the following day everybody in town knew all about it. I got it from the best source iu the world, for the actress told me about it herself. The stagnation of the summer season was broken on Monday by the production of a new play by Richard Mansfield, who is as clever and ingenious as any of the younger men of the stage. He calls the play “Mon sieur,” though why on earth a man should give a play a name which everybody is afraid to pronounce by daylight is not clear. There is probably not a word in the French language that is so difficult to master as this,but it advertises Mr. "Mansfield’s” play, and not by its proper title, “Monsieur.” It is exactly what had been looked for—a light and ingenious skit, without any notable dramatic power and with very little pro nounced originality. Mansfield was tne play. He was as ingenious, accomplished anil versatile as ever, and his little tricks and his notable bits of by-play told at every turn of the piece. Without him, it would be nothing. With him it is entertaining and palatable. . Mansfield is a man of natural polish. I believe he. is often referred to as a cad and a snob by actors, hut I must say, as far as my observation has gone, he has invariably car ried himseif with modesty and good taste. Ido not know him personally, but ever since he has come to New York he has swung in with a good set of people, dines in the right places with men and women of cood social station, drives his own horse to a thoroughly correct cart and behaves throughout as any other well-educated and gonial man would who had a dislike for the notoriety of the stage, and preferred to mix with people of position. They are telling a story now about a very eccentric old man and his wife in the Victoria Hotel, who are exceedingly rich and monstrously cranky, and who nave taken the most extraordinary liking to the young actor. He is attentive to them, anil they visit his theatre con stantly. A warm friendship has sprung up in the oddly assorted little trio. Blakely Hall. LEMON ELIXIR. A Pleasant Lemon Drink.
