BEST SCENTS FOR THE BATH
man May Use Any Particular Per-
fume Which She May Prefer.

Tie commonest form Of the bath
| as beautifier Is the bran bath. This
particular bath has the advantage OF
being inexpensive and efficient at the
same time. The bran should be sewn
into neat little square sack OF
cheesecloth covering, and dropped into
the bath when the water is run In.
The water must not be too hot, or the
bran will be cooked and thus rendered
useless, but If warm water Is poured
on 1t a creamy mass is formed, which
will render the skin delightfully."- soft.
For those who wish to be little more
elaborate there are sold at chemists
and stores little sacks of bran mixed
with various perfumed herbs, accord
ing to taste, such as violets, orris root
and sunfower seed.
The milk bath is not unusual, and
is is claimed that it has no rival In
identifying the skin. One well known
beauty in Paris is understood to use
milk for her bath always, and the skin
Of her throat and shoulders is as
creamy a white as the liquid she is
supposed to battle them with. OF
course, one would not actually get
right into milk bath as one does
with water The milk is applied on
wads of antiseptic cotton. Then, to
prevent any sickness, it Is rubbed
gently with eau de cologne.
French women are also very partial
to the use of alcohol in the bath.
1t is perfumed in some way with such
scents as lavender or violet, and those
who indulge in these baths or the
bran ones use soap only once or twice
a week.
Sea bathing is probably the most
bracing and the best form for the
robust, but in climate such as ours
it cannot be recommended except In
the hot months, unless the bather In
very strong. Those who are unfor.
tunate enough to possess very irrita-
BILE skins will do well to eschew sea
baths altogether.
For ordinary bathing purposes most
people use ammonia or borax, which
not only softens the water, but is inyal-
liable for cleaning the skin. Il is nee
essary, however, to exercise caution
In the use Of these two articles, for an
overdose In the bath, instead OF max.
ing the skin soft and supple, win

There you have a solid center with
hollow end, and these ends are turned

ENJOY LIFE IN HAREM
TURKISH WOMEN PASS TIME IN
LUXURY AND lDLENEss.
Know Nothing Better, and the Hours
Are Allowed to Glide by Without
a Thought OF What the Nor
row May Bring.

Hospitality among the Turks is car
ried to q fine art. A short time ago IT
was my privilege to spend some weeks
in the harem Of the son-in-law of one
Of Turkeys greatest generals. My host
ess knew nothing but Turkish. she was
young, beautiful and happy. Sixty
slaves we're always ready to do her
bidding-not slaves in our sense of the
word, but more like adopted children.
The square, spacious house stood in
a lovely garden and was divided into
two parts, one-half (the haremlik) oc-
cupied by women and the other half
(the salamlik) by men. The sofas and
chairs in the drawing room were COW
cred with red and yellow silk, and
here ladies and slaves, all wearing
loose garments like dressing gowns,
sat for hours chatting or playing cards
or backgammon, or listening to the
tales of the miradjus, the professional
women story-tellers. They have no reg
ular hours for meals, snacks of food
being brought to them at all hours.
They did not sit at tables in the dining
room. where the host entertained his
friends and where foreign ladies were
admitted.
Visits to a harem are looked upon as
an indefinite thing. Some of the ladies
staying in the house had arrived with
a small bundle of clothes for few
days and had stayed on more than a
year. On an embroidered carpet in
one corner of the room large tray on
short legs held all courses of each
meal, placed there before the repast
began. Women, old and young, in pic
turesque, flowing garments and
swathed heads, handed delicious stews,
one or two meats, and vegetables and
rice in every form.
The windows opened from the in
side, behind wooden, immovable lat
tees. Flower baths were a great in
stitution. There were baths of rose
leaves and baths of heliotrope-rose
petals were rubbed in the hair and
scalp and over the whole body.
The ordinary Turkish baths were
built away from the house and seemed
to be occupied all day long. Until the
age OF twelve boys remain in the
harem. At thirteen or fourteen girls
don the tchartchaf or veil and are
considered fit for marriage.
There is many bride of fifteen with
q husband of seventeen. Marriages are
arranged by the two families; the
bridegroom does not see the bride un-
til after the marriage ceremony. when
he raises the veil. If he fails to dc
this she remains his official wife only
in name. Each Turk is allowed by the
Koran to have four legal wives, but
most of them are satisfied with one
