A daughter of Ev« who w*m visiting in New York learned a valuable lesson the other day, tout whether she profits by It remains to be seen, says the Now York Times. Bhe Is visiting at the house of a friend, and with her hat on was about to go out one afternoon. But. first she went,to « big set bowl in the dressing-room to wash her hands. The house is a large one, and the howl sets In a big slab of marble, with a formidable array of faucets above It. Thera wok one strange feature about two of these faucets. They were those at the extreme ends on each side of the bowl, and they were tied with strings as if to warn the unwary against touching them! But of course there could be no reason, when there was a faucet over a set bowl, for not using it, so the young woman, with her curiosity well aroused, turned on the water from the extreme right-hand faucet. Probably Eve herself had not her curiosity so quickly rewarded. Ac the young woman reached for the faucet she leaned well over the bowl, when whieil from the center of the bowl there came straight up in her face, in her eyes, her nose, her mouth, over her hat, and over her collar a strong, line spray which soaked everything it touched. It did not take long to get out of it, but it was a vary wet young woman who sat down to gasp and rose up again to recurl her hair, dry her bedraggled feather* and put on a fresh collar. Those are delightful sprays and do th® complexion no end of good, but. they mimt be taken In homeopathic doses and without hat or collar.
