use the same soap or the same towels that
you do? To keep herself beautiful wo-

ana II seems to me that a woman who is
willing to share the trappings of her bath
room with anybody else can't be quite

Inetlcs, what do YOU offer in their place?
AS l said before, the fruit grower whose
peaches are failures, looks for the cause
at the tree and not in the peach. If Won

udihty woman always has on her toilet
table various glass stoppered bottles or

tHat make cleanliness a luxury. Keep

have three-one holds the delicate perfum-

thrown in glass of tepid water to be

your speaking with sweetness.
In another bottle is tincture of benzoin

enough of this in the water to make it

of brushes, how can you expect to keep

| PIGMENTS used upon it are in bad condition
l have been Mortified at the toilet i'm
| PIGMENTS used by women whose costumes
equaied those worn by the Queen of
| Sheba. 1t IS nonsense to say that good
| brush is a cheap brush. A hair brush
worth the having costs good bit of
money, but it will outwear ten cheap ones.
| consequently there is economy in buying

| often as is necessary, and, properly dried,
| is really new. No good workman ever
used poor tools. Consequently. if Won
| Wlsn TO look well, to look beautiful and
| best of ALL TO look exquisitely clean, YOU
| must have the best of tools to use for
each portion of your body. l have never
| known woman with a beautiful com
| plexion who took absolutely cold baths
They are shock alike 10 the nerves and
| the skin
1t has been said that Mrs Langtry owed
| her lovely skin to bathing in cold water
| That is not true. To my certain knowl-
edge; she takes, every morning of her
life, not merely tepid, but hot bath
| After IL, she goes back to bed. rests
| awhile, has cup of tea and a bit of dry
| toast, and then gets up. To me. even
| the genius of the Divine Sarah or that of
/ Ellen Terry, became nothing by the
| utter disregard of each of them for neat
! ness. Off the stage Ellen Terry is one of
| the most slovenly-looking women / have
| ever seen. In her appearance she would
| be enough TO convince the world al large
of the fallacy that the bath was a house
| hold institution in England And there
| cannot be beauty without perfect cleanli-
ness. And if there were nothing else, no
/ charm of feature, nor of manner, nor of
/ coloring, there would be something at-
| tractive, wonderfully attractive, in the ex-
1 quisitely clean woman. If you doubt
| this statement think of some sweet Ouak-
| eress you have met. Or If you have
| never encountered one of these gentle
ladies'. then remember some Sister of
| Charity. Everything i'm her costume was
| intended to subdue the material. But |
do not believe there ever lived a man or
| woman who had ever seen an ugly Sister
| of Charity. Irrespective of the beauty of
| their lives. the perfect cleanliness of their
| bodies makes them lovely. My prescrip-
ton, which l give you for nothing. is a
| fine one. II can be shortened If you like.
| so that it consists of the mere quoting of
| two words: BE clean be clean; and ever
more be cleanr And somehow the
| woman who is perfectly clean in body Is
very apt to be clean of heart and soul.
Bah.
