The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-10-04

Hitherto when a man went travelling in
foreign climes, says the London Mail. he
often happened upon some out-of-the-way
village. where a bath was thing almost
unknown. Notably is this the case in ru-
raj Germany, and there and in other coun-
tries many an Englishman has had to go
without tho much-loved morning dip. Now,
however, the tourist can carry his bath
with HMM the shape of his trunk. This
he owes 10 Sandow, the strong man, who,
turning his thoughts from his muscles to
invention for a time has evolved from his
mind the bath-trunk. When standing up
on the station platform anyone would pass
ii as am ordinary portion of a travellers
luggage, and. indeed, that is what it is.
When not in use for bathing purposes it
is perfectly available for ordinary trunk
purposes. 1t is leather bound. cornered
with bright steel fittings and finished with
highly polished. brass-headed nails.
To transform the trunk into q bath, all
that is necessary to do is to IA Use the lid,
lift out the trays and the bath is before
YOU. The box portion of the trunk is lined
with a light, waterproof fabric, and being
octagonal in shape there are no sharp cor
nerS inside.
Close to the bottom is a little stop-cock,
by means of which the bath may be easily
emptied.
Things are different, no matter what
anybody says In the first place women
are requiring more manllness OF the men
they marry, says the American Kitchen
Magazine, and in the second place men are
recurring that women shall know some
thing of the business of housekeeping.
Preachers are even beginning to preach
this. The Rev. Madison Peters d. D., OF
New York, recently said in a sermon, on
young men and marriage;
Good housekeeping has far more to do
with domestic happiness than young low
ers dream of. l believe that these times
need women whose most beautiful work
will be done inside their own doors. With
out good housekeeping the romance Will
soon go out of marriage. Of course the
man who prizes woman chiefly because
she 1ooketh well to the ways of her
household does not deserve to have good
wife He should merely employ house
keeper and pay her good wages. But there
are social, moral and spiritual uses, pro-
ceeding from the wise regulation of the
household which bestow dignity on what
would otherwise be trifiing. No matter
what a girls accomplishments may be, her
education is incomplete if she has not
some knowledge of bake-ology, boil-ology,
roast-ology, stitch-ology, and mend-ology.
Even If girl should never be required TO
do the work herself, she ought to know

White hands are everywhere considered
a distinctive mark of refinement, size be-
ing a matter of less moment than shape
and color. Filbert nails, showing the
half-moon at the base, nails nicely trim
med and polished, free from growth of
skin. always scrupulously clean and de-
lfvered from those aggravating little loose
bits known as "tormentors," and step
mothers blessings" are essential to
every one aspiring to refinement.
1t has been said that 'if you want to
know a woman's birth, you should look
at her nails and her linen," and that the
most unpromising hands may be wonder
fully improved by care and proper treat
ment is a commonplace. Pickpockets,
whose liberty depends on their delicacy of
touch, when they come out of prison after
a spell of hard labor, their fingers callous
and rough from picking oakum, are de-
clared to use hot poultices of bread and
water for several nights in succession.
After this, little more is needed to restore
their hands to their former condition.
Once on a time the care of the hands
was a matter of individual concern, but
of late years the professional manicure
has become established amongst us, and
most women who wish their digits kept
in good order invoke. her services from
time to, time. To those who have neg
by rowing, tennis, or unavoidable hard
work, the manicure is absolutely essen
tial until the hands under her care attain
their proper aspect, when a visit from
time to time, aided by private attention,
will maintain them in good condition.
Some women prefer doing their own
manicuring. In that case, few words on
the subject will not come amiss. Light
the flame of a small spirit lamp, and set
some water to heat; pour this into a bows
then unfold a small towel and lay 1t on
one knee; take the right hand and pro-
coed to cut the nails in semi-circle; then
file the edges, and steep the right hand in
the water; then take the left hand and
steep in its turn. Having carefully dried
the hands, push down the skin round the
base of the nails with an ivory instrument
brush the nails over with some red POM
ade, wipe it off, and then polish with a
plain chamois-covered pad, rather small
in size, using particularly fine polishing
powder, till they shine. Then, to crown
all sprinkle on the hands and wrist and
rub in some deliciously-scented sue de
camelia, which will at once make the
skin look white, smooth and soft.
An actor who is now having an inning
at Broadway theater has for several
years been the ideal of the matinee girl.
He's held to the position for a long time,

yet, says Clara Belle in the CINCINNATI
Enquirer. This incident shows how far
reaching his influence is, and it also re-
veals something of women's expedients. 1t
happened but a few minutes before the
hour for the matinee to begin. Maud and
Kate encountered each other on Broad
way "Oh, Kate" cried Maud, Il am so
glad, 1 am going to the theater to see
darling -, and have an extra ticket.
Come along with me-" Kate gave a
squeal Of delight, and then one Of despair.
"Oh, can't" she walled; II am all in a
mess. I've been bargaining at Ms.
They had a big announcement in yester-
days papers, and such a crowd Look at
my gloves" They were in state. The
pink finger poked out of the end Of one
hand and a button off on the other. THE
feather is all-which-way on my hat, too,
and though 1 suppose no one would see. 1t
wouldn't be respectful to our darling.
Then there is button off my shoe.
Maud was staggered. She had started to
say buy a new pair" at the gloves. but
1t was too late to attempt to select an
entire new wardrobe. 81 hate to go to
see him without something dressy on. /
don't suppose he notices, but always like
TO look my best, so go without me, dear,
continued Kate.
