A Japanese Bath Room.
From the Craftsman.

A tiny space four by six feet. In It were
four objects-a stool to sit upon when wash
ing oneself before getting into the bath. a
shining brass wash basin, a wooden pail
and dipper, In which to fetch the bath water.
and the tub. The tub, like most private
baths was round, casket shaped and made
of white wood. 1t was perhaps thirty inches
in diameter and twenty-seven inches high.
A copper funnel or tube passing through the
bottom went up inside close to the edge.
This, filled with lighted charcoal, supplied
heat for the water. The pipe was higher
than the tub. so the water could not leak
inside. A few transverse bars of wood fitted
into grooves and formed protection so the
bather could kneel in the tub without COM
ing In contact with the hot pipe. The walls
of the room were of white wood, with a
pretty grain, the floor of pine laid with a
slight slope and grooved so the water might
flow into a gutter and through bamboo
pipe to the yard. moon-shaped lattice
window high up let in air and light. As
provision for more ventilation the two out
side walls for foot below the ceiling were
lattice Of bamboo stats.
AS my eye Travelled from object to object

yen, and it would last indefinitely: 2 yen for
the brass basin; 80 sen for the pail and dip

would fit up my bath room, and asked for
nothing nicer.

The Extravagances of Dress.

If you respect yourself you must have
a silk petticoat with one deep fiounce from
the knee and innumerable small flouncelets
and ruches at the hem forming an i'm
portant frou frou. The wide lounce must
be covered with muslin inserted with lace,
edged with fiounce Of lace and having
somewhere in the depth toward the upper
part Sits through which satin ribbon is
threaded and the ends of the ribbon tied In
long deep bow and ends Neckties of
muslin and lace represent as many varieties
as there are days In the year. They are
firm, not so befrilled as they used to be,

Juvenile School Mistress.

From Everybod
There is encouragement for some one In
every act of Sophie Wrights life That
first school of hers may serve as an in
spiration to every girl looking about for
some field of work to enter In order to
help others or herself. Tiny, crippled al
most beyond endurance, herself only an

a public school building to NIL the room OF
her mothers cottage, and on the door hung
out her sign: DAY School for Girls. The
terms were 80 cents a month for each pu-

eighth-grade standards.
Its mistress still wore her skirts short and
her hair in two comical twin braids which
stuck out oddly behind her head. And yet

fore. a record gathering Of well-known So
ciety women wearing lovely toilets. The
robes de lingerie were the most favored for
this occasion, and many Of the costumes
were veritabie works of art. The combina-
ton Of laces and embroidered linons was
especially noticeable.
The popularity of the thick Irish lace
redingotes or pelerine fashioned boleros Of
guipure worn over white embroidered linon
and muslin princess robes is more marked
than ever. Amon1 the pretty hats worn at

Luxury.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
Bishop Cores denunciation Of luxurious
entertaining among the rich was anticipated
in 1913 by an act Of common council ito
restrain luxurious eating, wherein it was
ordained that the lord mayor should not
have more than seven dishes at dinner or
supper. upon pain of forty shillings for
every supernumerary dish'-a large price
to pay for a sorbet or a savoury. Other
classes were also limited in proportion But
the act does not seem to have been effec-
tual for another had to be passed in Mary's
reign, limiting the mayors dinner to one
course, except on festivals. when 1t was in
creased to seven, and on fish days. to
eight An exception. interesting in these
days of ententes, was made In the case of
foreign guests, when 'the additions are left
to the discretion of the mayor" 1t is dif-
ficult to understand the fascination Of eat
ing swan, crane or bustard; yet to do SO
meant a fine of 4Os. The London County
Council must be glad that it is not called
upon to deal with this sort Of thing now
The simple life would make a weird cleo
ton cry next March.

Summer Hygiene.
From Harper's Bazaar.

from Harpers Bazaar.
The great value Of hot weather a fac
tor for health is that in such heat we
perspire profusely. and throw Off in that
way much morbid matter" as the doctors
call 1t. Americans seem to be especially
afflicted with uric acid, and summer is
their great chance to clear their systems of
this insidious foe. Consequently. We should
try to induce perspiration in summer. not
to check 1t. One often hears people say.
Don't drink so much water; 1t will make
you perspire." That is, indeed, mistaken
advice; exercise freely. drink freely. per-
spire freely, and the hottest summers will
do you no harm.
Drink freely should perhaps be qualified
slightly, as many persons persist In drink
with ice to a degree that is absolutely harm
full. Cool drinks are very well. but Iced
drinks need to be used with caution Per-
haps this summer. when the price of ice Is
so very high, this advice stands a better
chance than usual OF being followed. A
particularly wholesome beverage for sum-
mer Is buttermilk. Its slightly acid flavor
Is refreshing, and 1t has the advantage OF
being food as well as drink. The old-fash-
Toned mixture of water. molasses and gin
ger Is by no means to be despised by thirsty
mortals. The especial danger OF summer Is
from chill. We come into the house hot
and tired. pull of our coats or waists,
sit down in a strong draught. and presently
we have a chill which may lead to almost
anything Even II we are careful our
treahcerous climate plays US tricks. We
start out some hot morning almost melted
in the thinnest Of gowns. and before We
return at night the thermometer has fallen
twenty degrees and We are chilled through.
One Of the best safeguards against this
sudden danger Is the flannel band worn
over the abdomen. Many people who wear
these bands in winter discard them in
summer. This Is mistake: they are more
essential in the hot months than in the
cold. Inhabitants of the tropics never
leave them off. night or day. and our sum-
mers are a good imitation Of the tropic
zone.

lace. At the waistband was big bunch of
pink carnations. and in her black tulle
toque she wore feathers Of a delicate shade
Of gray blue.
The sensation gown at the fete was worn
by Spanish beauty attached to the court
of the new Queen Victoria. The material
of the CONNECTION was sobweb muslin In
the most ravishing shade Of peach. and the
insertions and f1ounces were of old Flemish
lace. Soft satin ribbons of the same shade
as the muslin were skillfully introduced on
the bodice and sleeves and the high cein-
ture was of peach colored suede, with art
nouveau buttons Of silver and baroque
pearls. The hat was an elongated turban
with rather a high crown. 1t was developed
from smoke gray erin and had an immense
feather Of the same shade sweeping over
the back.
