Though it is a standing joke that plumbers are forgetful there are some things that they very rarely forget, and surely among them is the time to cease work. This distinction, however, can be claimed by a plumber engaged on the new Ward Baths at Rotorua, says the Wellington “Evening Post.’’ Absorbed in his job, lie continued working beyond the knock-off time—perhaps he had forgotten his watch. AT any rate he kept on working oblivious to everything but his job. Suddenly he heard sounds of splashing of water and shrieks of feminine laughter. Then he realised that it was the women’s hour for the hath, and his only way out was through the bath. He knocked on tile door, timidly at first, then louder and louder, but no notice was taken of the knocks even if they could be heard above the splashing, laughter, and commotion of the bathers, The knocking continued louder and louder, The attendant thought it time to investigate, and went to the annex where the plumber had been working. There was some hoarse whispering through the keyhole, audible to the bathers. Then their shrieks were pitched in the minor key. There was a man in the bath. Explanations were made and the attendant, being a iesonreefnl person, met the difficulty of getting the plumber out by enveloping his head in a hath towel, and so leading him blind-folded through the bevy of naked and splashing bathers out to the main door. The plumber may again forget many things, but not that experience.
