Among the Romans, bathifig
ami bath were regarded aa being
equal in importance with eating
and food. Thoae super-civilized
pagans added to mere bathing all
the refinement that their art, in
corporated in a Luculliis, gave to
eating.
The banquet hall and the bath
—in them were to be found all
thrft was luxurious, all that waa
marvelous.
But now, in the twentieth cen
tury, in practical, proaaie, busi
ness-like Atlanta, in the basement
of a modern miracle of a sky
scraper, is to be found that which
had no peer in the Rome of old.
On Monday, in the Candler
building, wits opened the most
beautiful barber shop and bath
house the South ever saw—and
one which hag few, if any, equals
in America.
\
It ia all a mystic maze of marble
and mirror.

[ROBERT F. MOORE
1 BECOMES MANAGER
OE BIG COMPANY
The Southern Stalea Life Insurance
Company of Atlanta, In which many
well known men of this city are Inter
ested, Is preparing to Issue some new
forms of attractive life Insurance poli
cies for Its fall campaign. Term poli
cies will be written for all the periods
from five up to twenty yearn. This
form la specially valuable to peraona
wishing to protect certain Interests
.for n ported of years only. It Is also
planned to Issue an entirely new com
bination policy called the "New Protec
tion." which will Iflsure not only
against death, but tlcknesa and disabil
ity from accident all under one policy.
The Southern States has never Is
sued what are known as "preliminary
term" contracts, u form which has met
with criticism from many state Insur
ance departments, nor doe* It write
board or stock contracts In connection
with life policies, ns the directors have
taken a lirm stand for the strict old
fine plans.
The resignation of aeneral Manager
P. C. Wadsworth was announced this
week on account of Interest* In New
York city. Mr. Wadsworth was the
organizer of the company, and leave*
Its direction In strong hands. The
company tx now nearing the 13,000,940
The pieces of woodwork in the
rooms—covering half of the
ground floor of the massive Can
dler building—may be counted on
the fingers of two hand8. What
little of wood there is is mahoga
ny veneered.
There is arranged every device
for the care and comfort of man
that the tonsorial art has devel
oped. And he may also take any
sort of bath known to the twen
tieth century—all the way from an
ordinary tub of warm or cold wa
ter to the electric light cabinet
bath, the last being a marvelous
development.
A word about it now.
There is n cabinet, some ten feet
high and five feet square as to
bnse, in which are many incandes
cent electric lights. The cabinet
ia made of wholly marble, proper
ly welded so that it is practically
one piece. The sufferer from lum
bago, rheumatism or a desire to
try something he never went, up
against before, gets into this
cabinet, the door is shut nnd the
lights are turned on. From
these conies a heat, growing grad
ually, which is the incarnation
of aridity. Nothing dryer can
be found. It opens the pores, the
perspiration falls all over itself
rushing out, and. it is said the
rheumatic pains are greatly alle
viated. It is a Turkish bath, only
not a drop of water is used.
The new shop is under tlie
management of W. If. Reynolds,
proprietor., Mr. Reynolds is from
Auburn, N. Y. He knows his bus
iness. He has made a study of it.
He has come to the conclusion
that there is much money to be
made therein in Atlanta, nnd he
is spending a good deal of money
in equipping what is undoubtedly
the fiuest establishment of its kind
in the South.
A conservative estimate of the
cost of the barber shop and bath
house is i>15,000. A good deal of
this is, of course, permanent. It is
part of the Candler building.
The beauty of the Pickens coun
ty marble in varying hues—from
almost white to cold bluijh gray
and all the way to rich dark choc
olate, is the ground work on
which all is bosed. It is prncti-
• cally all, the only material used
being a hand-full of wood, used
where stoqe or metal could not,
plate glass mirrors and nickeled
steel.
The pool, for instance, with its
sides and steps of white marble, is
flanked on four aides by superb
mirrors. Flooded with electric
lights the place is one of extreme
beauty, which is heightened by
a superb stained glass picture in
set into the wall. The pool is 20
by 16 feet and is niore than 6 feet
deep.
Thero are equipments for Turk
ish bnths, Russian baths, shower
baths, needle baths, plunge baths
—all in addition to the ordinary
brand of tub bath to which most
are accustomed.
In the barber shop proper has
been placed six chairs. Each of
these are handled by an ex
pert. Tonsorial artists, they
call themselves. They are
cracker-jack good barbers,' more
industrious than talkative.
