For the restoration of energy after q
hard days work there is nothing like
a warm bath and rest for ten min
utes or more in darkened room You
may think you are too tired for the
bath, but you are wrong. 1t is Just
what you need the tub so soothing to
nerves, SO cleansing to the skin and re-
juvenating to looks.
The skin plays a most important
part in the economy of human health
good looks. According to science 1t
has a remarkable history, this wonder
full covering of the body with the in
Vulnerable ducts and underlying
glands. From it, we are told, all the
senses are derived, and it is now
the seat Of several important bodily
functions, while it seems to play some
very mysterious part in the moral
life. IL performs the duties OF kid
| news and lungs, warns us when we are
100 cold or too warm, and casts oil
much of the poisonous wastes of the
body in the form OF water and oil and
rancid odors. The cleansing bath,

lists who argue that all Animal
forms, including the progenitors OF
man, once lived in the sea. Whether
they did or not, the woman used TO
the daily bath knows that she looks
better after one, just as she knows
that life has more snap when she is
well dressed and is going to have a
good time.
For the business woman who car
ries her Office troubles home with her
the prolonged bath at bedtime will
be found an sedative, al.
though it occasionally happens that
one must get used to late Tubing.
The water should be OF the tempera-
ture of the body or higher, as IL is
pleasant, with the room comfortably
warm. The bath may be continued for Is
or 20 minutes, for the long moment In
the water is needed TO reduce the !
mental stress. For constant sleepless- |
ness many doctors consider the warns
bath the best of all treatments.
The daily bath must be taken &C |
cording to individual preference. but !
1T is generally agreed that more bene- |
fits are obtained from warm tub |
and gradual cooling of the water
than from cold plunge. The needle
spray, with the temperature of the wa
ter first hot and then changing to cold,
has very tonic effect on the skin. and
gives all the body refreshed and deli
cious feeling. But the daily bath,
however taken, is an absolute require
ment for the woman who needs TO
appear we'll groomed and whose de-
sire is to keep herself in a good physi.
cal condition.
Eat slowly at meals and talk with
he pleasant people at table, for the
takes kindly to a little Cos
'iping, doing its work far more Sc
-enely with pleasant table talk than
without it. If you feel sleepless on
going to bed try slipping a glass of
warm milk, for in all probability the
comes from the emptiness
If the stomach. The warm milk will
Ict as a soporific, particularly if you
top thinking about the worries and
10 little deep breathing after you
re in bed.
All work and no play will make the
girl dull one, so pray lay
ut some little part OF the weeks
wages for entertainment. Go to the
heater, accept a weekend invitation
whenever you can, give little Sunday
fternoon teas and go to them Amuse-
nent, remember, is an actual need OF :

aiken in the open air the better. A

pplication a change off into some lit 4
ne manual job or other is also very b
eneficial, for some work of the hands n
