TOILET IN CHURCH
LIMIT OF BAD MANNERS POWDERING SHINING NOSES Press Association—By Telegraph— Copyright. LONDON, December 27. Citing complaints about girls powdering noses which apparently shine like good deeds in a naughty world during evensong on Sundays, the Rev. Stewart Bernays, rector of Finchley, declared that ho had suffered at a theatre between the scenes by a girl combing her hair over his dress suit. “1 was tempted hi my mid-Victorian wrath to take my shaving set to sec how a good shave would interest the audience, it would have been cleaner than brushing one’s hair over other people. Performing one’s toilet in a church seems the limit of bad manners. I omit the question of irreverence, but even the shiniest nose might bo left in its native clement until the worship of God is over.”—United Service.
