Come!" said the Commissaire. They crossed the platform to the carriage, whilst Hillyard described the attendant's anxiety that he should bolt his door. "No doubt he gave the same advice to the manufacturer of Perpignan," Hillyard added. It was M. de Cassaud who arranged and mounted the steps in the tiny washing-room.

There has been a great deal of talk about London of late; it's the fashion to cry up London. But there's nothing in it you can't do anything in London. No Louis Quinze nothing of the First Empire; nothing but their eternal Queen Anne. It's good for one's bed-room, Queen Anne for one's washing-room; but it isn't proper for a salon. Do I spend my life at the auctioneer's?" Mr.

He found the handle, and pressed it down slowly; without a creak or a whine of the hinges the door swung open towards him. Through the clatter he could hear that the manufacturer of Perpignan was snoring. But Hillyard did not put his trust in snores. He crept with bare feet across the washing-room, and, easing over the handle of the further door, locked the manufacturer out.

The spacious compartments that one travelled in on the Indian journeys, where there are four arm-chairs and a bath-room, are a bad preparation for the long narrow American cars packed with humanity, and for the very inadequate washing-room, which is also the negro attendant's bed- chamber: "Although," he explained to me, "when the car isn't full I always sleep in Berth Number 1."

By raising the plunge bath chamber a few feet, the bottom of bath may, in some cases, be just kept above the drain level; but steps must then be placed between it and the washing-room, and steps in such places are dangerous, being very liable to become slippery.

He put on an apron as of yore and started his son under his personal supervision in the washing-room. He took off his apron when Johann knew all about handling chicle products, from importing-bag to tin-foil wrapper. Then he died. And this year troublesome conditions had come on. The Consolidated Pepsin people were cutting in severely.

On either side of this saloon are two calidaria. A drying room and laundry are arranged over the smoking saloon, and w.c.'s, &c., are placed at the end of the latter apartment. In the splayed angles supporting the dome are doors leading to four apartments two used as hot rooms of different temperatures, and the others as a washing-room and a shampooer's waiting room.

I luckily met him as he was passing the washing-room, and turning him as he was smoking away, I tore out his burning pockets, and plunged them into the water. We afterwards had to cut away the burnt lining, and to sew up his pockets, so that what had happened might not be discovered.

He got off his horse; and in another moment he had opened the cottage door and walked into the washing-room.
