a PEAT BATH.
London Society Women Take TO a
Novel Form Of Ambition.

The latest craze among the society
women OF London Is the luxury known
as peat baths. and Strathpeffer Spa be-
gan to rival Harrowgate in their affec-
ton. According to one who knows,
ones first bath is a luxury not easily
to be forgotten, and its effect on the
complexion is magical. First comes the
period Of immersion in a bathtub filed
with warm, soft peat, brought from
some distant moor, and pounded and
heated and mixed with water in the
subterranean regions. A lid with an
open space for the bather's head Is low
cred over the occupant of the bath, and
the soft-voiced Highland girl in attend
ance leaves you to the dreamy reflec-
ton induced by the warmth and frag-
rance OF the peat. When 20 minutes
are up you are set in corner to have
the nrst coat Of peat sprayed off by a
nose. A plunge In q warm tub that
Is ready alongside the peat trough COM
pletes the process and wrapped In
warm towels you are left 10 recline on
couch while pleasant drowsiness
overcomes you. When you have
dressed and spent 20 minutes or SO in
the pleasant little cooling room. you
return TO your hotel, feeling physically
ana mentally n giant refreshed, ana
The compliments on your improved ap-
pearance will make you wish thae a
peat bath were a less costly luxury
According 10 tradition the virtues OF
the peat bath were discovered by acci-
dent. A litter Of little pigs which wal
lowed daily In the peat mud on n hill
side were noticed to have much more
glossy coats than their fellow piglets
The example of the piglets was speed
uy followed, and the peat bath became
fashionable as a cure for skin diseases.

ENGAGEMENT OF CRANE.

william. H. Crane comes to the
Opera House on Saturday night in the
comedy, "A Rich Mans Son" The
comedy differs from most plays built
simply to create laughter, for the rea-
son that It contains a plot. All Of the
situations are natural sequences of the
story and underlying all Of its frivol-
ity is a strong strata Of common sense
The story concerns an old man who
sends his boy abroad to finish his edu-
cation. When the lad returns he
brings with him queer ideas about So
cialism and is an affected young ass
full of theories as false as dicer's
oaths. He detests his fathers anoney
and looks upon the old man as a fool.
His father, driven to distraction, deter
mines to give him a lesson as to the
value OF money, and throws the lad
upon his own resources. Then follows
the humorous portion OF the play and
the working out OF the old truth that
there is no romance in poverty. Some
of the characters are capitally drawn
and the work will be found staged with
all Of that care and attention to detail
that marks all Of Mr.. Cranes produc-
lions.
