MILK BATHS FOR BEAUTY
.VHAT BECAME OF THE MILK? PARIS POLICE SUSPICIOUS. (Sydney ‘‘Sun” Cable.) LONDON, April 25. The “Weekly Dispatch” correspondent in Paris states that the Prefecture of Police is investigating fashion’s latest craze. A famous beauty specialist, whose prescriptions and recipes are borrowed from records of Ancient Rome, recommended a famous millionaire dancer to take milk baths. This resulted in a farmer daily delivering 200 quarts of milk at the dancer’s house lii the Etoile quarter. The milk was heated Ivy electricity and emptied into the bath for the dancer, the farmer later returning and collecting the cans. Society was merely tickled at the dancer’s expensive habits, until a dismissed valet revealed that the cans were not empty when the farmer recollected them. The police are now inquiring whether the milk was resold for human consumption to unsuspecting residents of the fashionable avenue near the dancer’s houso, or merely used to feed pigs and calves.
