girl whose complexion is Of tho clcaresA
but who has loft tho ballroom many o
tlmo ns carly as o o'clock, so fearful u
sho OF injuring her greatest charm. She
heard Of tho Turkish bath, and therefore
riskcd dancing until 8 and after tho other
morning. From tho ballroom she went
directly to tho bathing establishment
feeling ca IL tho entire world saw her In
famed eyes end sunl,cn checks. From
tho ofllco sho was conducted to box Of q
room about cs largo ns n section In q
sleeping car. When my friend had rc-
moved her garments sho was led into an
iron walled room, where the nir wns 90
hot that tho pcrspirntion started Mt once
from every pore. Sho was told to sit
dovl-thcrc wcrc seversl chairs for the
purposc--nnd to wait until called for.
The heat was surprisingly great, but after
u moment 1t produced that languid fcek

body. Tho attendant returned shortly
and bound wet towel about tho new
customers head. II began to steam

claimed tho suffering customer.
The attendant ran her hand along tn
dear girls back and limbs, and said;
"You secm to hnvo swcated pretty
well; guess you Gun como along now"
They went into a room adjoining n

and tongs style. She rubbed and scrubbed
and lathered her for several minutes, and
scrnped her with brush, and kneaded
her flesh until II seemed ns II her very
bones must have felt tho cleansing efHecA
Of the operation. The attendant wae
pulling and blowing from tho exertion

1t rapidly grew chilly, md presently the
dear girl was spluttering n helpless plss
, for u change. The contrast with tho In
tense heat she had endured was trcmen-
dous. Tho attendant dropped tho hoss
when she thought best, but before the
poor innocent customer could rejoice al
tho relief she was being pounded with che
icy cold blows OF shower bath. 1t WINS
agony itself, and IL seemed as IL every inch
or her glistening cuticlc were being over
laid with pricking iciccs. But this, too,
had its end, and the novice was oil but
crying with weariness and torture when
the attendant led her into another room
and began to dry her. When tho wateP
had been entirely removed from her body,
she was wrapped In u blanket and taken
to her room.

attendant.

But sho was told sho would have TO lie
there while any way, and that sho would

OF still another room, into which she had
been led. The water was chilly and she
was glad to set out Of It hastily. 1t was
the last torture. She was rubbed with
alcohol TO prevent her from taking cold

dear girl got homo 1t was just her tirns
for breakfast. She slipped into the house
unobscrved and promptly appeared In the
dining room, feeling as bright and vigor.
