How to Enjoy the Bath

THERE are many ways of taking
the bath, and each one feels that
her own way is the best, says Chris
tine T. Herrick in an exchange.
To the strong and vigorous, the hot or
very warm plunge twice a week, just
before retiring, and the cold plunge
every morning are ideal. Another adj
herent of the frigid bath feels that
this does not cleanse the skin thor
oughly, so takes a sponge with hot
water and soap before her cold plunge.
Cold baths are very fashionable. For
nervous disorders they are especially
recommended, and some specialists
make this morning immersion in very
cold water one of the requisites of the
treatment they prescribe. To those
who can stand it it acts as a tonic and
bracer, and in some unexplained way
does seem to have the after effect OF
steadying the nerves and clearing the
brain. Those who enjoy the cold bath
love it; those who do not add dread to
their dislike of 1t. One woman to whom
it was prescribed would awaken at 5
o'clock on winter mornings with the
dread thought that the chill n shocks
were but two hours away.
If this heroic treatment is followed
by a sensation of warmth that comes
TO stay keep up the cold bath. If, how
ever, one is shocked and chilled by It
avoid it.
For those who cannot endure the cold
plunge there is the delicious cold
shower. Each morning a bath in warm
water can be taken, and this should be
followed by the cold shower or spray.
Even those whose circulation and vi
tality are below par will be benefited
by this practise. The way to derive
most good from it is to run into the
tub enough really warm water for the
bath, and before getting into this to

Improving An Opportunity


there are girls who have seen the
inside of a college who have won fame;
there are girls who were handicapped
in many ways, educationally, who have
perhaps outstripped you ia the race of
life.
Take. for example, pale little Mary,
who was lie dull girl in school, who
was the butt of the other scholars be-
cause her hair was tied with shoe
strings, and who wore funny plaid ging-
hams and dotted calicoes, Do you re-
member that you turned up your nose
at her because she helped her mother
wash the clothes that you wore, and
that it was a subject for heated debate
whether the daughter of a laundress
should be asked to birthday parties
and other functions?
Yet little Mary is today received in
social circles which you cannot enter.
Handicapped by ill-health, by poverty,
by every condition which spelled fail
ure,' she fought a brave fight, she
grasped at the opportunities which

How 10 Beat a Merchant.

So MANY schemes have been
used by customers in attempt
ing to take advantage of mer-
chants that the story sent in by
one of our subscribers sounds
quite refreshing. He relates
that the store had on hand a
number of remnants of dress
goods, running from three and
three-quarters to four and one
half yards lengths.
The goods being slow sellers,
one OF the clerks suggested
a selling scheme involving
questionable store policy, but,
nevertheless, in this case APP
parently successful. All the
tickets of the remnants were
changed to read three and one
half yards, but the prices to be
charged remained as formerly.
One day a woman purchased
one of the remnants of four
and one-half yards length, and
at once came back to get anot-
her. She had probably discov-
cred that the merchant was
delivering more than he was
offering, and she was anxious
to take further advantage.
Apparently she did not keep
the discovery to herself, for
the next day several of her
neighbors were inquiring for
the three and one half yard rem
nants. The result was that
within a few days all the rem
nants were sold. The desire to
get the best of the merchant
had created victims in a clever,
if questionable, selling plan.-

But you need home for these
