Baths of Health and Luxury
BY ELEANOR NORRIS.

The daily cleansing bath taken at
the close of the business day or on re-
firing is the one Of health; warm water,
a bath brush and pure. soap are the
essentials. Scrub briskly, then rinse
off every particle Of soap, leaving the
skin pure and free from the days ac-
cumulation of soil, thereby keeping the
skin soft, the flesh firm, the entire body
active. Ten minutes is quite long
enough to remain in the plunge, after
this bath friction with hair nit and
cologne or alcohol will be found very
stimulating and particularly beneficial
when the pores are not very active.
The tonic or cold bath is to be taken
in the morning and as quickly as pos
sible; very few have the vitality to
endure the shock of bath under the
temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
A good plan is to draw the water at
night, and in the morning take your
plunge, staying in but few minutes,
this followed by rubbing or fric-
ton with your hair glove. The cold
bath is not for the weak or ailing.
A needle spray where the water pres
sure is strong is most invigorating, and
for the nervous one it will be found
most grateful and soothing by alternat-
ing the warm and cold For the obese
the cold bath is most helpful, the colder
the better-as more energy must be
expended, compelling the lungs to be
the engine, thus using the excessive
fatty tissue as fuel. The cold bath
you must remember is not cleansing,
simply a tonic.
There are many that are unable to
take plunge bath either from lack of
health or circumstances, but they. GER
tainly are able to take sponge bath
at night of warm water, and in the
morning one Of cold. One advantage
of the basin bath, it gives an oppor-
tunity for the air bath, which is great
adjunct to all bathing. Oatmeal bags
used in the warm bath soften and
whiten the skin and give very pleas
ant fragrance. They are made of lit
tie bags of cheesecloth filed with
sufficient for bath of these ingredi-
ents: Oatmeal, pounds; powdered
Florentine orris root, n pound; almond
meal, " pound; powdered CASTLE soap,
u pound. An acute attack of rheuma-
tism will be greatly relieved by using
this mixture: Green soap, 100 grammes;
oil ofNturpentine, 60 grammes. Put this
into jar; agitate until it forms a
foaming mass; add to the hot bath. As
the warmth of the water penetrates the
body the pain will be diminished. Re-
main in the bath fifteen minutes-no

SOME UNIQUE RECOMMENDATIONS

# HERE are number of concerns in New York that
decline to give references to employees who leave
their service To requests they say: IF you send
anyone to will tell him about you. But
have made it strict rule to put nothing paper
They justify this action the ground that they
do not know to what their written guarantee may
be putt that they kind to the employee in many
by not saying word about him; that too many
letters of recommendation polite lies told to pass
incompetent help to someone else
~ A member of trade union believes that law
should be passed compelling employer to furnish
letter when asked That it would benefit the employee
unless given matter of free will is a very open
question. Such letter is but matter of personal
opinion, and even with law in force the employer
would be free to express his opinion tho his
ideas of the services given did not coincide with those
of the man by whom they rendered.
An employment agency has several unique spec

ONE OF THE RICHEST WOMEN

The business capacity of Mrs. Anne
M. Weightman Walker Of Philadelphia
was brought to the attention of the
public eye when her father, William
Weightman, the widely known chemist,
died.
Upon her fathers death Mrs. Walker
became one Of the richest women in the
world, with an inheritance estimated at
from $6Q,000,O0O upward. For years
she had assisted Mr.. Weightman in his
great business enterprises and took up
the entire management of the great
chemical works after his death.
Daily she could be found in the Of
fees Of the firm. Sometimes she was so
busy that she could not go out for
lunch. This strain, continuous for some
years, is now somewhat relaxed.
AS it is, however, Mrs. Walker bears
the burden of managing one of the
greatest estates in the country, and, it
is said, is keenly alive to the advan-
tages Of any good investments.

I fancy in REFER style, seeing that you
will no doubt carry it well because then
it can be worn with other dresses than
its own, affording more protection than
the shorter pony model. Make it after
the conventional REFER box style clos

pearl buttons, man IS collar and small
revers, coat sleeves ending in narrow
stitched cuffs, set of black velvet
collar and cuffs being provided, to be
added as occasion calls for, and your
suit will be as stylish and becoming as
possible. It's success will depend
chiefly upon the accuracy Of the tailor
stitching which will finish all seams.

into the rice with the fried onions and

Banana Pudding with Meringue.
Dispose slices Of stale sponge cake on
serving dish that will stand the heat
of the oven; cover these with cooked
banana mixture, then add other slices
of cake and other layers of banana mix
ture, until the pudding is Of the size
required. Cover the whole with a
meringue and set the dish into the oven
about ten minutes, or until the merlin
que is delicately Drowned. The oven
should be moderately heated. Serve hot
or cold. This dish is more conveniently
prepared, perhaps, with small pieces Of
cake and in individual portions. Or if
small cakes are at hand, the centers
may be scooped out, the spaces filed
with the banana mixture and the top
only decorated. with meringue.

THINGS THAT COUNT

Don't think that just because you
have stunning new hat it does not
matter whether you are properly shod
or gloved; whether your back comb is
ON straight or the little bar pins at
the back of your stock are in line; that
the embroidered lingerie waist for
which you paid, oh, minis or money, is
just a trifle soiled, and the handker-
chief, filmy and lacy, is mussy; the veil
not precisely fresh, and the inside un-
derskirt wee bit ragged. Better wear
last years frock with all the small be-
longings correct.
One woman makes a special pilgrim
age to the shops once month for the
purpose of stocking up,o and as
result she is never obliged to fall back
on passe neck things or resort to bor-
rowing from mother or sister, and she
always looks well, if not extensively,
dressed.
It is wise woman and an econom-
ical one who keeps her accessory
boxo well stocked.
It is as easy to buy a half dozen
ruchings as one, and so with the other
things gloves, ribbons, hairpins, hooks,
thread, etc.-and it will save no end
of irritation when one is suddenly
called upon to dress in hurry.
