You pay one dollar at the door and pass into the “cooling room,” where the mercury registers nincty-eight have visited the inner shrine, where the temperature is up near the boiling point. In the “cooling room” you are pri ileged to deposit your valuables in a safe. I did not avail myself of this boon, how- ever, for reasons of a purely private n: ture, but passed at once into the “ dis- robing room.” This room was not so larg. as to appear dreary, nor yet so small as some I have lodged in on the Bow- ery, but was about seven by four. The furniture was simple yet chaste, con- sisting of a chair and a brush and comb long past their prime. The comb was chained to the wall, but the brush was permitted to roam at will.
