MILK FROM DANCER’S BATH MAY HAVE FED PARISIANS.
POLICE INVESTIGATE SERIOUS CHARGES MADE BY DISMISSED VALET. By Telegraph.—Press Association. —Copyright.—“Sydney Sun' 1 * Cable. (Received April 26, 10 a.m.) LONDON, April 25. The Paris correspondent of the “ Weekly Despatch ” states that the Prefecture of Police is investigating Fashion’s latest craze. A famous beauty specialist, whose prescriptions and recipes have been borrowed from the records of ancient Rome, recommended an equally famous millionaire dancer to take milk baths, resulting in a farmer daily delivering 200 quarts at the dancer’s house in the Etoile quarter, where the milk was heated by electricity and emptied into a bath. The farmer later returned and collected the cans. Society was merely tickled by the dancer’s expensive habits until a dismissed valet revealed that the cans were not empty when recollected, and the police are now inquiring whether the milk was resold for human consumption to unsuspecting residents of the fashionable avenue near the dancer’s house, or merely used to feed pigs and calves.
