Turkish baths are cleansing and
pleasant, but should not be INDUCED in
too frequently. If you have vitality to
spare, then you can take the Turkish
baths with no i'll effect. The ordinary
nervous woman should be careful with
them, since they are very enervating.
A Turkish bath every three or four
weeks is quite sufficient. And then
there should be at least two hours of
perfect rest afterward.

A Defense of the "oId Maid,

A toast is offered to the spinster! We
meet great many pleasant people in
this world but nowhere do we find a
more satisfactory person than that eld-
erly unmarried woman generally and
somewhat disrespectfully known as
the "old maid' and supposed to be af
flicted with "nerves" and cantanker

other women's paths, lives in other
women's homes and rejoices in other
women's Joys, making them her own.
The children adore her, for she be-
comes to thcm sort of fairy godmoth-
er, one who possesses all the tender
ness of a mother without the extremes
of maternal discipline. She loves to
give children good time and does
1t with extraordinary success. In
household details what treasure!
How many dinners owe their success
to her, who reaps no glory except the
glory of doing! And in the ultimate
trials of life what prop and solace
she becomes! But it is to the young
boy lovers of the family that she eX-
hibits the finest flower of her capacity
for friendship. What gift of under
standing she seems to have. There Is
no difficulty she cannot dissipate, no
fear she cannot lessen, no tender little
half scared hope that she does not en-
courage to bloom for the other woman.
1t is always for somebody else that she
is working. and perhaps it Is this
which gives to her eyes the look that
even the worst among us unconsciously
