PRETTY WOMEN
and THEIR Baths.
How the Beauties of France
and Italy Preserve the Soft
ness and Cleanliness of
the Skin.

Lent is the time when the woman who
is run down from dissipation, which
means late hours and sweets, renews her
good looks by systematic beauty treat
ment. She begins by keeping regular
hours and eating well-cooked, substantial
food. But she does not end there by any
means. for she needs to recuperate in
other ways. Her skin, neglected by lack
of treatment, has grown rough and off
color and she realizes that only careful
attention will restore it.
Cleo de Merode, one of the beauties of
Paris, created a sensation by taking milk
baths. Every day she dipped her fair
form in a tub brimfu1 of sweet milk and
emerged from it smooth and fair.
The milk bath is one of the most now
erful agents a woman can employ to
clear the complexion. But it is. unfor-
tunately, rather expensive, and there are
substitutes which are quite as good
An Italian Princess, one of the CoIonna
family, originated a bath of sweet oil
which was carefully rubbed into the skin
1t was afterward washed out with hnt
water. leaving, however, traces of oil in
the skin. The Italians think an oilv sLin

Inc apparatus simply consists of a sub

the ordinary effort of swallowing.
The principle of the baby incubator

of which the lower one contains the boil

ing above. Fresh air is, Of course, es-
sential to all living things, but in the
case Of an exceptionally. delicate. new
should be warmed Accordingly, the
room in which the incubator stands has
also to be kept at uniform tempera ture,
in order that when the baby is taken out
of the little cradle fitted in at the top of
the incubator it should run no risk of
taking cold.
When the baby begins to kick and throw
its tiny arms the doctor takes it out of it's
glass case and puts it in cradle, and in
few days it goes home with it's mother.
The nurses say that they get very much
as they call them, but the funny little
fuzzy-headed babies don't care whether
they are in a case a cradle as long as
they get enough to eat and time enough
to sleep.
American doctors are getting SO that
they think no more of "a glass case
baby than they do of case of everyday
measles. Philip Armour, the miliion-dol-
lar baby of Chicago, lived in his incubator
for a long time, and he is lively little
fellow now

THE BEREsFoRD INCUBATOR BABY.

Lord Beresford has come out of his in
cubator and another baby lust as dis
tinguished has gone in. Both seem to be
"all a-growin' oand a-thrivin'." The in
cubator baby is the most distinguished
fad in medical circles just now. The
Maternity Hospital in Paris has a whole
ward OF incubators land there's baby
in every Incubator. A good, lively, look
around-and-t ake-notice baby, too. It's
one Of the sights of Paris nowadays that
incubator ward, with its low rows Of
glass cases, fun Of babies. You can't go
into that ward without permit, but
when you get the permit they take you in
and let you stand and watch the funny
little things, curled up like so many
sleepy kittens
at stated hour every day. It's little
strange to see woman trying to cuddle
her baby with a whole sheet of plate
glass between the baby and herself But
the cuddling goes on just the same as If
the baby was in cradle and you hear
just as much baby talk in that ward as
you do in any nursery in the world.
OF course, the duration of the treat
ment. If so it may be called, entirely de-
Ponds on the condition of the newborn
child. Often a stay of one or two weeks
in the incubator will transform mort
bund mite into healthy, kicking child
and occasionally a baby remains the tenn
porary tenant Of his glass mother from
forty TO fifty days. Fortunately, it is
comparatively easy to see when the baby
has had enough of the incubator. for
when that is the case. instead of placidly
fretful, cries and makes vigorous at
tempts to stretch it's limbs.
Before the introduction of the baby in

ENGLISH BATHS.

doubtful if other women could do as well
On this side of the water we exercise
less and eat less temperately, and the
cold London dash, such as is advocated
by Lady Brooke, would only roughen
the skin and perhaps spoil it hopelessly.
The Baroness Won Kroh one of the
beauties of Berlin, has preserved her pink
complexion for years by liberal alcohol
baths which she takes night and morn
ing. The alcohol is rubbed by the handful
into the skin, which is made very tender
very warm for half an hour after the
massage, with the result that they are
beautifully pink. A pink skin in Germany
is considered a great mark of beauty

The beauties of other days took per-
fumed baths, which were after all rather
bad for the complexion. They contented
themselves with a dip into tepid water
made sweet with altar of roses, and they
dried themselves in the sun, warmly
wrapped in their robes of wool. While
thus resting their slaves famed them and
brought them fruits.

The Prudential Insurance company's
utilization of the Rock Of Gibraltar in
its advertisements, as a means of measur-
ing the company's strength. that the COM
pany, believing there is a widespread
desire to learn more about Gibraltar than
Is generally known. has just issued a
booklet giving the history of the famous
fortress.
1t tells us that for more than one
thousand years before England seized the
Rock from Spain, this famous landmark
passed through innumerable fierce and
bloody struggles. being successfully won
and lost by Saracens, Moors and Cas-
tilians.
There is a thrilling account Of the great
siege of the Rock, from 1779 to 1888, when
the combined armies and navies of France
and Spain attempted to regain possession
of the fortress from England. Twice the
English garrison was reduced to the verge
of starvation, and there is probably no
story In history to which can be parallel
ed the moral and physical courage, extra
ordinary human endurance and wonder
fui tenacity of purpose exhibited by the
British in defending the Rock.
Handsome half-tone pictures Of both the
interior and exterior of the Rock are
shown in h booklet, and many facts OF
interest are told regarding the great "hit"
made by The Prudential in using the
Rock Of Gibraltar in its advertisements.
A copy of this booklet will be sent free
to any one writing to the Home Office in
Newark, N. J.. mentioning this publica-
