BEAUTY AND THE BATH.

"The complexion is one of the points
that are noticed first in a woman's APP
pearance," writes. Mrs. Humphry, in
the April Ladies' Home Journal, tell
ing plain women how they may be
pretty. THE bath is a valuable aid
To the necessary purity of the skin. but,
like all beneficial processes, ii is liable
TO abuse. The hot bath especially is
misused TO great extent. a warm
bath, as distinct from a hot one. is
seldom injurious. but the safest is the
tepid or the quite cold one. The test is
a simple one. If, after cold bath. when
the skin is dried the surface of the
body glows with heat and is suffused
with pink tint. all is well. But II
this reactionary warmth fails To re-
spond to vigorous rubbing with the
towels the bath is Injurious. \ chill
often follows the hot bath, which
proves how dangerous IL is. If a chill
follows the cold bath IL must be aban-
doned at once and the tepid tried. Much
depends upon the circulation. whether
il be brisk or sluggish. II the former.
the cold bath may almost certainly be
ventured upon with uniformity and
become a daily delight. But If the cir
culation be slow and defective "A large
can OF hot water should be added TO
the cold Only a short time should be
allowed To the bath proper whether
hot. warm. tepid, or cold: but the dry
ing process should be thorough and
vigorous.

I'VE must so manage the railways
in the meantime as. if possible, to pre-

and short franchises are incompatible
