TOILET IN CHURCH
"LIMIT OF BAD MANNERS"
(United Service.) LONDON, Doc. 28
Citing complaints about girls powdering their noses, which apparently shine like good deeds in a naughty world, during evensong on Sundays, the Rev. Stewart Bernays, rector of Finchloy, declared that he himself had suffered at a theatre by a girl combing her hair between the scenes over his dress suit.
"I was tempted in my mid-Victorian wrath to take out a shaving sot to see how a good shave would interest the audience. It would have been cleaner than brushing one's hair over other people," he said. "Performing toilet iu church seems the limit of bad manners," he continued. "I omit the question of irreverence, but even the shiniest nose might be left in its native element until the worship of God is over.''
