SECRETS OF THE
BEAUTY BATH
(From Chicago Tribune.)

Would you like to know how to take
a beauty bath?
This is presuming that you under
stand the secrets of the ordinary bath
and that the mysteries of the Turkish
bath are not unknown to you. The
beauty bath is for those who have a
hobby for taking baths, but who have
not as yet INDUCED in the one real and
only bath-the bath which gives
beauty.
The beauty bath does a. great many
things:
1t removes stiff neck and banishes
rheumatism.
It clears the complexion and makes
it pink and smooth.
1t restores the hair. turning it back
to its original color, and prevents bald
ness.
1t makes one slender. for it washes
away the fat.
1t perfumes the skin, making one feel
delightfully."- fresh.
And it preserves the beauty generally
of a woman who is not too old or too
neglected 70 care how she looks.
To go back to the first point of ad-
vantage the beauty bath eXcels all
others. in that it makes the joints sup
pie. One can be stiff and come out
timber. One can have painful Shout
der or neck that is crippled with
rheumatism. or an arm that doesn't
work as it should, or one rheumatic
leg.
You begin by drawing a tub of hot
water and into this you put enough
boraX TO soften it. Then you get into
the tub, and, while you are immersed,
you apply soothing lotion to your
neck. This is made by stirring a few
drops of ammonia in great deal of
for fT11N n
skin Jingle. This is held upon the
shoulder and neck for five minutes.
After this the neck is massaged for
fifteen minutes, and finally rubbed with
almond oil for fifteen minutes more.
The result is that your stiff neck is
gone and you are able to wear your
low-throated gown again this evening.
But this is not the real beauty bath.
The real bath is the one which is taken
daily and to which the woman of beau
ty or who desires beauty is willing to
devote an hour or more each day. The
best time is at night. Those who like
the cold bath can draw the water the
night before and let it stand in the tub
over night In the morning it will be
just the temperature of the room. This
is for the cold bath, or for those who
are beginning to learn the cold dip.
After you have drawn your bath
be the softening of the water. All fau
Get water is hard for beauty bathing,
and she who would have a milky skin
must soften the water. The ,favorite
method is by dropping a teaspoonful of
powdered borax in the bath When this
is dissolved there can be added hand
full of bran. Powdered oatmeal will do,
and many who have tried it prefer it
to bran. Pour in little orange flower
fr.sN
great. add a dash of cologne.
The soap should be good. Never use
cheap soap. A good soap is as import
ant as a good loaf of bread. In select
ing a soap for permanent use, keep on
trying until you have a soap which
suits your skin. Then stick to it.
Upon the shelves of your bathroom
dresser, all ready for the beauty bath,
there should be these articles:
A piece of SOAP, kept dry in silver
soap case, covered and hinged, to pre-
vent the cover from becoming lost.
A large covered box of powdered
oatmeal or bran to soften the water
A box of powdered boraX.
One ounce bottle of orange flower
water
A two-ounce bottle of the compound
tincture Of benzoin. So
One ounce bottle of aromatic bath
vinegar.
An ounce bottle of scented ammonia.
a half gallon of bath perfume.
A bag of sea salt and bag of pine
needles and also a bag of dried herbs
and another OF salt.
A jar of cucumber lotion.
Several jars of cold cream. which
should include wrinkle cream, tan
lotion, something for rough cuticle,
and a regular retiring cream.
Every woman understands the
secrets of the ordinary every day

not one in thousand understands how
to take a beauty bath. The beauty
bath costs to learn, but it pays back
the money in actual beauty. You can
become pretty by its daily use.'
