TOILET IN CHURCH.
GIRLS POWDER THEIR NOSES. “LIMIT OF BAD MANNERS.” (United Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, December 27. Citing complaints about girls powdering noses, “which apparently shine like good deeds in a naughty world,” during Evensong on Sundays, the Rev. Stewart Bernays (Rector of Finchley) declared that he had suffered at the theatre by a girl combing her hair between ' the scenes over his dress suit. “I was tempted, in my mid-Victor-ian wrath, to take a shaving set to see how a good shave would interest the audience. It would have been cleaner than brushing one’s hair oyer other people,” he said. “Performing a toilet in church seems the limit of had manners. I omit the question of irreverence, hut even the shiniest nose might he left in its native element until the worship of God is over.”—United Service.
