After woman takes Turkish bath
she goes to the hairdreSSer's for the fin
iShing touches of the groom and TO talk
it over. Two women exchanged ideas
the other day at one of these toilet en-
poriums and compared observations and
experiences.
THE attendant gives me extra mas
sage treatment" said one OF the women
because / fee her literally. 1t pays,
81 have lost five pounds since my last
bath" replied her companion. 'If l
can keep that rate up for about six
months l shall be perfectly happy. l
walk four miles day and am on rigid
diet The doctor says if | can reach a
certain weight and hold to it for one
year 1 shall then be proof against an
increase OF avoirdupois."
"Ha, ha, laughed the first woman, and
in Subdued tone, did you ever see
such funny sight in your life as that
stout woman who was in the steam
room with me this morning? Did you
ever see such"
The New York Recorder woman didn't
hear the rest of the sentence, but she
had heard enough and she decided then
and there 10 take a Russian bath. Last
week she took one.
- Life is made OF experiences. The
Turkish bath is one-or, at least, the
first Turkish bath is an experience.
There is no use in living in the world
unless you keep up with the procession.
The Turkish bath is in the van.
Bulwer LYtton once wrote little
story about the virtues who started out
in the world to make their own way and
tiud home. Each virtue had a hard
time, but no one of them met with
such serious experiences as poor
MOdesty. Modesty travelled over Lon
don and vainly sought refuge. No one
had ever heard of Modesty. 1t seems a
trihe odd that this story of the virtues
should come up in connection with the
Turkish bath. But there is connec-
ton.
leave your purse with me, please, "
said the clerk in the office of the human
steam laundry. The novice surrendered
the article called for, and it was put
under lock and key. The key was given
the novice. II the purse had contained
a million it could not have been more
securely guarded. The attention was
flatternG. The clerk pressed a button
aud pointed TO a door, through which
the Recorder woman entered the con-
fines Of Turkish bath. She was met
By young woman clad in a red sheet,
which refused to reach the floor. 1t was
confined on the left shoulder by a coquet-
tish red bow made by tying the corners
Of the sheet together. This person was
an attendant. She was very good
looking, pleasant young person, and, on
account of her scanty attire, her gen.
eral shapeliness, her apparently con-
tented and comedy appearance, the new
woman christened her "Nadjy."
Here is sheet" remarked Nadjy,
land there is your room," pointing to a
small portiered apartment. Let me
know when you are ready"
The sheet was small and as an article
of attire it was highly unsatisfactory.
1t refused to wind and stay put, and its
victim was placed in an abject condition
of apology. This condition fingered
and no peacock ever viewed his feet
with greater disapproval. Few odes
have been inspired by the human foot.
Nadjy here interrupted the unpleas-
ant reflections. and it was very for
lorn figure, clad like a sQuaw in a blan-
ket, that she babe follow her to another
apartment.
This" said she 'is the hot room"
The hot room needed no such intro
duCtion.
