WHY MEN SING IN THE

MORNING TUB.

Professor Bragg touched a very Ipersonal note in our domestic life when be asked the hitherto un- beard of conundrum, "Why do people sing in bathrooms? He might have carried the matter a little farther by giving a few of the most popular bathroom songs.

The musical ethics of the bath- room are peculiar." writes a Daily News medical correspondent. "I have devoted a whole day to asking my friends what songs they sing in the bathroom. A parson' confessed that he always sang a hymn as son as he turned on the tag: an ex-soldier said hei could not get away from the army song: but the general rule was that a man sings his favourite seatimental song in his bath. Comic songs are not popular in the bathroom except when a man starts to dry himself. But, as a ule, when a man is splashing about in the water and his cres: are half full of soap he prefers sentiment,"

Five busy men, who confessed to) having thebathroom-singing habit] |badly, gave the following as their

favourites

Ex-Officer: The Merriest Fellows Are We" or "Take a Pair of Sparkling Eyes." Ex-Army Cook: Edward Ger- man's Merrie England." Railway Signalman: "What: Are the Wild Waves Saying?" Shakespearean Actor: No More, Ladies." Scottish Footballer: "Wee!

May the Kee; Row."

*Sigh

The habit appears to be con- fined to men and children. Women take their baths seriously, and, therefore, do not sing.
