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.

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. .THIS 18 THE CARBER SHOP, SHOWING SIX MAGNIFICENT CHAIRS AND BEAUTIFUL FURNISHINGS. W. H.
