A Batt, a Month.

Apparently the people Of Persia are
not great believers in the old maxim
"Cleanliness is next to goodness" for
baths are only taken once a month by
the people, when they go to the public
baths and make amends, SO to speak,
for the infrequency of their additions
by spending whole day getting clean
ed and trimmed. At the baths they
are washed. shaved, dye their hair and
nails, get shampooed and spend the
rest of the day eating buns and drink
ing sherbet. There are fixed days for
men and women, and on bath days a
man goes about the streets shouting
"Hamum" c'Bath day!D. After the
bath the ladies have their hair plated
in a number of thin plaits, which are
not opened and combed out until the
next bath day comes round.

the latter will be the main issues.
