Although In classic times the bath
seems to have been one of the chief
features Of life, yet In the medieval DAYS
SO had things changed-a lady's
toilet, II not by any means a thing of
brief or slight matter, had very little to
uo with the bath. When her hair was
pomaded and braided with jewels, and
her headdress, her gowns and gear were
arranged, the thing was done. Nor
was there much bathing done in the
days OF rouge and patches. Even less

AT the present day the charm Of a
woman is the sense of cleanliness about
her-the bloom on her sweet skin, the
luster In her hair, the sparkle of her
teeth. This cleanliness is her wise ef-
Tort to maintain; and if the least par

The good grooming of the bath, tn,

that does not make lovely will never
