anyway, and at this juncture Nadly
turned on the hose. This operation was
also thorough, like everything else con-
nected with a Turkish bath. The water
came with force, and there seemed to
be plenty of it. In addition to the
cleansing properties and its efficiency
in removing the Soapy attire, 1t also
presented an object lesson, proving the
ability of the fire department to eXtin-
guish a riot as we'll as cOnfiagration.
The shower came next, and whatever
the fire department left undOne the del
uge completed. At less rate, great
while ago, such a deluge drowned out
the earth. While the shower was on
Nadjy disappeared. She had doubtless
gone for the wringer. That seemed the
only thing undOne. But she returned
with towel and another sheet. The sub
ject was then weighed.
This is a very important thing with
most women" explained the nymph
with the red bow on one shoulder.
"Sometlmes a subject loses four
pounds at a bath. Annie Pixley
weighed twenty-six pounds less IN a
months time"
The secret of the Turkish bath was
out. 1t reduces the flesh.
LILLIAN Russell takes bath here ev-
cry week; has her own attendant at
home to give her massage treatment,
walks four miles day and only eats
certain kinds of food. 'Banting' is what
they call it." chartered Nadjy.
but If you're mot very fat, nor yet
very lean,' then what does it dO?" Ques-
toned the subject as she stepped from
the scales.
sometimes it makes people fat-if
you want to be benefited after it you
must eat a good luncheon and sleep the
rest of the day, provided you wish to
grow fieshier. But if you are fieshy and
wish to reduce it you must not eat much
and you can take long walk, go shop
ping or do anything to keep on your
feet. otherwise you will grow stouter."
The repOSe room was the next thing
on the programme. In this apartment
White-clad mummieS were lying about
on eouehes, and two of them were en-
loving luncheon, while they compared
notes of a personal nature. Another
mummy was asleep, and one was having
her nails manicured. The scene was
novel and interesting.
The rubbing with alcohol was the last
inf1iction Cd the programme, and the
varied and shining VIclSSltudeS OF a
Turkish bath had been experienced.
Are you a woman, and have yOn never
taken Turkish bath? Then take one! !!
A modern civilization offers you the ex-
perience aud you are entitled to it. If
after it you feel like what is called in
sporting parlance "a seven-time win
ner," you will be glad of the experience.
If you are Overblessed with the evil
denceS of Natures generosity and you
gain a point on Mother Nature, you will
be glad of the point you gained. If you
have rheumatism you may possibly be
glad, and possibly sorry. If you are af-
f1icted with ennui it may turn your mind
into pleasant channels; at least it will
divert you for the time being. But If
you are a very busy woman, not very
fat and not very young, are never
troubled with ennui and can perSpire at
home occasionally, superinduced by eX-
ertionS with such domestic implements
as the ironingboard, the broom, or even
the Wash-board, you can accomplish
the same results. But life owes you
the experience. If it agrees with you,
gOOdI If it doesn't, apologize to Mother
Natures divine majesty. Countries do
recover from tidal waves.
