In New York now women are taking the “elevator cure” as the proper spring tonic. An elevator man in the tall Battery Park building was trying to explain the other day how popular the treatment was getting to be.““‘Three out of every four women who ride in this car,” he said, “are taking the ‘ele vator cure.’ How does it cure? And what? Search me. The motion is sup posed to have a benefical effect on the circulation of the blood or something. Some of the men try it, too, but the women have it the worst. Whenever a stranger comes up to me and asks for a fictitious person I know they are after the ride and nothing else. Some of the sharp ones generally pick out a name in the directory before they en ter the car. They never go into an of fice, however, and always take the next car down. When you consider there are four elevators here and then count the number of big office buildings south of the post office, you will see a woman can ride around all morning and never hit the same elevator man twice. But we know them.”
