fore you have time to chill.
Here is a salt sea bath which they give
at the springs in Germany where there Is
no ocean and when sea salt Is scarce.
Taking a pint of good table salt, they
spread it in the bathtub. With this they
put little powdered borax. Then the tub
is nearly filed with boiling water, which is
allowed to cool to tepid temperature.
The patient takes quick hot scrub in this
water, which is allowed to dry on the skin.
The bath is taken in clear hot water.
THE sea bath in a tub or in the ocea
should be followed by a clear water bath
for the complexion. The ocean, however
invigorating to the muscles, is not good
for the complexion. The face will surely
show spots after deep sea bathing. The
hot bath which follows is the complexion
bath.
Those who want deep sea bait, in a
tub when there is no sea salt handy can
use rock salt and borax. They can add a
little bran to soften the water and very
little vinegar to give it the last ingredient
OF the sea bath.
This makes az fine an ocean bath az one
could want. For rheumatism 1t il excel
lent. 1t makes the body strong and the
muscles firm.
"The beauty bath which follows the salt
sea bath is something to attract any woman
who wants to be good looking. There are
nine beauty baths. You can have a stimu-
lating bath, an invigorating bath. pine
needle bath, rose leaf bath, bath for
weary nerves, bath for beauty's sake and
bath for yourself when you feel old.
"The bath to be taken when you feel old
is the most interesting OF all. just why or
wherefore none can tell, but gelatin is its
foundation, and it is the gelatin which re-
stores the skin.
Il take about tablespoon OF the best
gelatin and dissolve it in a quart Of hot
water. When it has cooled little stir it in
the bath. 1t seems somehow to make the
flesh irmer

clearing to the throat and soothing to the
lungs. The bath follows as soon as the
water becomes bearable. 1t must be fol-
lowed by an alcoholic rub and u nap in a
warm bed.
Hot sheets are the natural aecompani-
ments Of beauty bath. In the best beauty
establishments in Germany and in all the
beauty baths OF Paris they take pair OF
fresh sheets and lay them on the radiator.
When they are heated through and through
they are ready for use. 1t is the only way
to use linen. Linen is naturally cold, and
unless it Is heated it will be very harsh to
the skin.
"A fine beauty bath for summer is the
golf girls bath. 1t ia made by adding to a
tub of boiling water benzoinated perfume.
To make this perfume take an ounce of
the tincture OF benzoin and add to it half
an ounce OF vinegar. Shake together
and add half the quantity to a tubful Of
very hot water. As it cools it will be sweet
and strong.
sThe beauty who wants bath that Is
merely sweet and who does not care any
thing about her nerves can take a strongly
perfumed bath OF the kind which leaves the
skin sweet and pure and makes the entire
cuticle odorous.
