It 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 it has remarkable history, this wonder ful covering of the body with the in- numerable ducts and underlying glands. From it, we are told, all the senses are derived, and 1t is now the seat of several important bodily functions, while 1t seems to play some very mysterious part in the moral life. It performs the duties of kid news and lungs, warns us when we are too cold or too warm, and casts off much of the poisonous wastes of the body in the form of water and oil and rancid odors.

If you feel sleepless on going to bed try slipping a glass of warm milk, for in all probability the wakefu,ness comes from the emptiness of the stomach. The warm milk will act as soporiflc, particularly if you stop thinking about the worries and do a little deep breathing after you are in bed
 All work and no play will make the business girl dull one, so pray lay out some little part of the weeks wages for entertainment. Go to the theater, accept a weekend invitation whenever you can, give little Sunday afternoon teas and go to them.
