beauty bath?
This is presuming that you unoef-
.,d the secrets of the ordinary
9TH and that the mysteries o. the
.r1;sb bath are not unkn own to you.
rhe beauty bath is for those who have
hohbv for taking baths put who
.uo NOT as yet, indulged in the one
ealNand only bath-the bath which
lives beauty.
The bath that does great many
fings:
r. romoyes stiff neck and banishes
raeumatism.
II clears the complexion ard makes
pink and smooth.
If restores the hair, turning it back
h it's original color, and prevents
.aidness.
II makes one slender, for it washes
pway the fat.
n perfumes the skin, making one
feel delightfully."- fresh.
And it preserves the be .ut: general
Y of a woman who is not too Old or
loo neglected to care how she looks.
To 60 back to the first point Of @d-
kantaee the beauty bath excels all
others. in that it makes the joints
supple. One can be stiff and come
Tut timber. One can have painful
ns,o1lder or a neck that IS crippled
with rheumatism, or an arm that
.dcesnt work as it saould, or one lbeu-
IEl:t,c leg.
You begin by dra vin;, tub of. hot
[Wa.cr and into tbs you put enough
|borax to soften it. Then you get into
hhe tuh. ana, while vou are immersed,
you apply a sootA;ag lotion TO your
|neck. This is made by stirring
|fcv, drops of ammonia IL a great deal
|of bot water, only enough 10 make
E;a. skin tingle. This is held upon
THE shoulder and neck for five min
|utes. 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 wo-
man of beauty 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 tenn
perature of the ROOM This is for
the cold bath, or for those who are
beginning to learn the cold dip.
Water Must Be Softened.
After you have drawn your bath
whether it be hot or cold-there
must be the softening of the water.
All faucet 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 handful of
bran. Powdered oateal will do, and
many who have tried it prefer it to
bran. Pour in a little oragne flower
water, and, if the expense is not too
great, add dash of cologne.
The soap should be good. Never
use cheap soap. A good soap is as
important as good loaf of bread.
In selecting soap for permanent use
keep on trying until you have a soap
that 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 a sill
yer soap case, covered and hinged,
to prevent the cover from becoming
lost.
A large covered box of powdered
oatmeal or bran to soften the water
A box of powdered borax.
One bottle of orange flower water
A two ounce bottle of the compound
tincture of benzoin.
One bottle of aromatic bath vinegar.
An ounce bottle of scented am

A half gallon bottle of bath per-

A bag of sea salt and a bag of pine
needles and also bag of dried herbs
and another of salt.
A jar of cucumber lotion.
Several jars of cold cream, which
